Sweating Near The Ghost Hotel


 

This Friday night was almost like the olden days! 

I went swimming in Todmorden and, because the sauna there is still closed, I then drove an extra 7 miles to Burnley Baths for a sweat ( that's the 3rd sauna/Turkish bath in as many weeks)

. Good to see they still have that  ' Ghost Hotel' opposite it ...

Gammon Googles

I am a fat bastard

Just a quick update on my health . 

Yesterday morning I went to see the consultant at The Ear Nose & Throat Clinic at Calderdale Royal Hospital , Halifax.

( He was a really nice bloke)

 I was half expecting to hear him mutter words like "Thyroid" & "Cancer"  .But instead he gave me a clean bill of health, other than saying if I lost a couple of stone , my wobbly -neck should vanish . 

Which is a great relief, obviously . 'Seems I am still immortal , for another few days at least....! 

Although it might  beg a few questions as to why I was there in the first place? 

At the end of the examination with the consultant  , for want of something else to say , I asked him  to translate the blood tests the GP  had taken over two weeks ago.

It turns out they showed my thyroids were ok . Had I known this ,I would not have spent all this time worrying and 'imagining the worst' . .

I should really have been having having these conversations with my GP  ( who I have neither seen or spoken to, throughout  this whole process........)
