March 2022

Its March brrrrrrrr

In late February managed to get a virus/flu, which put me in bed for 5 days sleeping up to 22 hours a day. On day 4 left leg began to go red, day 5 pain full and then really walking standing was an issue. The leg now was bright red and very swollen, and did not look good at all. A chat with Dr over the phone plus a pic or 2, didn't expect that the Dr said when she saw pics, and placed on a course of antibiotics and cream.

Over the weekend leg exploded into sores blisters looking even worse but less painful, was able to walk again. So back to Dr's and as now mobile managed to visit. Now off cream as that could the blistering problem. Leg now from knee down fully wrapped and bandaged. But I'm bed bound again, 2 weeks. I suppose worst things in life at present.

Week 4 of leg at last its on the mend just, avoided hospital (just) it looks bad but informed its not, just needs time. Off work until the 6th April, not quite as I planed but life doesn't always go t plan does it. As the end of the month approaches leg whilst has improved still a way to go, still wrapped in bandages, not painful, but can be uncomfortable to say the least.

Death is something we all need to live with, but when someone younger than you gets called, it brings the fragility of life just a little closer. At the end of Feb Sue Lawson a friend from my very early years passed. We messaged on the 11th Feb and week later was taken by Cancer. RIP

In my limited time so far on this world, I've seen listened watched as countries war. Never have so not understood the meaning of Ukraine. Seems one man's desire to control because he can. Plus the world seems powerless to help because of the destruction he could unleash if he wanted to.

The Rx8 goes for its service, I have noticed that at higher speeds get a vibration seems the break calliper's are seized, so worse case need all 4 replacing plus disks. Oh well no good if I cannot zoom.

Its that time for re-election to the parish, lets do it again.
