Pain is really bad right now,

The hospital have wanted me to have both lower legs Amputated on several occassions, If they were to ask about my left one today, I'd say yes,  

I have a wretched headache too,

Oh well club to cheer me up ....   

SORRY  -  Internet connection was down for days  -  It's a "Pay as You Go !" connection and funds were short,

Anyway I'm back and kicking ! 

Radio Club tonight, Committee meeting, I'm secretary for trhe meeting,

Back Later  -  Lots to do !   

Good Night at Club yesterday, and a very stimulating amd useful lecture from Duncan  M0ORL, Thankyou Duncan,

JAPAN and the Earthquake,

I do not understand how the Japanese government or anyone else expects us to believe a death toll of 2.500, seeing the total devastion, and watching video of the moment ENTIRE villages, Towns and small Cities were SWEPT AWAY by the Tsunami, it is so totally obvious the number is MUCH MUCH higher,

A town, totally flattened with just just a handful of people wandering around dazed, where there had been 30,000 people before last Friday,

In all honest a figure of 250,000 might be nearer the mark, and though the Japanese goverment was very quick to reszpond, with massive aid from the military and the police, there are still many many areas of the NW Coast of Japan that remain unreached, unaided and the dead and lost uncounted,

International aid has arrived but hope of survivors has gone, Why were saerch and rescue not there next day, by now this should be possible!  

The great tradgedy that may still unfold, is the meltdown of a Nuclear Power Station, and a leak of Radiation that may yet kill many more, Just very very slowly,

Japan's situation is beyond all sympathy, how can anyone express enough for the people who are currently effected, over 500,000 Homeless,

JAPAN needs HELP NOW !!!  

Please find a way to help, DONATE   ....   MONEY, Food, Shelter, Clothing, find out where to do these things, hjow no matter how little you can do, ALL donations help, PLEASE Give NOW,

Whatever the TRUE numbers of dead, JAPAN is still very very much in need of URGENT help,

We are all having a hard time financially at the moment, But really can you imagine for yourself if your need was like that of the Japanese people, PLEASE give ANYTHING you can,

OK enough of that,

A reasonable morning for me, with moderate pain,

Pain is moderately bad this morning,

Had a poor nights sleep,

But still hoping to go to the Leicestershire Family History Society open day with John, my friend from the Radio Club, I have traced Wendie's paternal line back to 1600, my own family I'm having little success, typical LOL,

Japan, the earthquake, total dead so far exceeds 10,000, they think half of one small town may have been killed, that alone would be 10,000 !  

Most of the dead are not directly due to the quake, but from the devastating Tsunami, Makes my problems seem totally insignificant, my thoughts, prayers and hopes are in Japan,

Dosed up on my meds to cope with the exertions of my day out,

They kept mum in hospital, no further news yet,

Goodnight at Radio Club, the new club website was launched, the presentation by Kelvin G4ZTD and Mike M6MDR went down very very well,

Only a little pain today, 

God Bless Mum  -  Sleep Well

Today has been kind of good, except for the headache, which hung around all day, at least the legs have been ok,

So not to much to say, even sat watching TV    ...  An Adam Sandler film, I love getting a night off from the pain,

It's Radio Club tomorrow, Something to look forward too,

Vicki, a very dear friend put a ray of sunshine into my weekend, and my memory isn't good, but friendship and kindness I NEVER forget ! 

First post...

Things aren’t great pain wise here, I’ll cope, but it is dragging me down, It also appears that not only am I deteriorating, but I had a email newsletter from Diabetes UK there was a link to an article about Diabetic neuropathy’s, I appear to have symptoms of them all, not just some of the symptoms, but every single one of them for every type of neuropathy,

Don’t get me wrong I’m not panicking, I will see my GP and talk to my specialist too, but it is kind of a bitter blow, I’m having other problems too, so generally not much fun,

I also can’t get on with my writing, I’ve given up, I really wanted to get this done, especially if I am deteriorating as much as I think, I’ll cope, but it is getting harder to put on a brave face!

Wendie’s doing good , just working too hard as usual, Delta’s a nuisance so is Dayne.

Club isn’t a lot of fun either, I’ve been asked to give a lecture/talk on PSK31, it’s a mode of communications, used by Hams, it needs computers linked to radio’s and some very clever software, which I helped in a very very small way in the development of one of the programs we use.
