Thursday 11th February 2010

29 Tablets in all today - 16 in one go this morning! Not usual, but I ran out of 2mg Dexamethasone so had to make up with some 0.5mg which I had spare - quite a bulk to hoover up!

Quite a busy week this week, hence no posting. I've had multiple visits from district nurses, occupational therapists, rehab therapists, the doctor, various equipment deliveries etc, plus a few friends sqeezed in the gaps. Quite tiring really - however, I've now got an even more specialised mattress for my bed, which circulates air through a pump to try and disribute weight and help with the bed sores. Seems this my be my biggest problem going forward as I'm already showing signs of a sore around my cocxyx.

Chair lift is now ordered and should be here within a couple of weeks, and, as the saga goes on, I managed a reasonable win over the bath hoist last night. A little uncomfortable, but I got in and out without it spitting me in any odd direction!

Sorry for the delay, but here are the final details for the gig on the 26th for those that want to attend, and the website details to donate, whether you do want to attend or not:

THE NEW ORIGINALS

A public gig in honour of band bass player, Colin Robb.

Friday 26 February 2010 – 8pm to midnight.

The Railway Club, 837-843 Chester Road, Stretford, Manchester, M32 0RN.

FREE ENTRY: The band request that charitable donations be made to Cancer Research UK.
A collection will be made on the night but we would encourage you to donate online before the event at
www.bmycharity.com/theneworiginals where gift aid can also easily be applied to your donation. Thank you.

----------------------------------------------------
Remember, there are no tickets for this event, it is completely free, but we are asking for a donation before, during or after the event if you can, although this is not mandatory. You can of course donate even if you are not coming to the gig.
I hope to be taking some part in the precedings - maybe playing a song or two - but otherwise my stand-in is more than capable of keeping things going. I'll definitely be there as long as I'm able.
Anyway, bye for now!
