I know a few friends are reading this blog,

I know others are visiting, but are they BOTS ???  are they people ?  does anyone care ?

Just an occassional comment, even negative one's that are constructive,

I poor out my heart and Soul,

Do you listen ???  

Would anyone  please just tell me !

The Middle East has seen an awful lot of unrest of late,

To my comfortable western eyes, that's nothing but good ! 

Of course I'm not the one suffering,

And MOST of the regimes in the Middle East currently are oppressive and rotten to the core,

I can only urge each of you to SUPPORT the uprisings / revolutions / demonstrations 

The peoples of these countries have long since suffered,

NOW is the time for CHANGE,

Democracy, Liberty and Freedom for ALL the peoples of the Middle East    ....    TODAY is the day !! 

Sorry folks, I have been really quite ill for a week almost, severral things rearing ugly heads at the same time, but really severe Flu like symptoms complicating everything, so have been unable to keep up the posts here,

Thankfully I have come through it and am feeling much much better, I do have a problem with my leg, and I need to see the docter asap,   I am in a lot of pain in the one leg, but hey that's really very little collateral damage considering how ill I had been,

Anyway, it feels great to be back, and able to tell it like it is,

Thanks for being patient !   

Today,

I think is the most physically painful day of my life,

And I've had a few, believe me ! 

Literally every single joint in my body is hurting, every bone every muscle,

I am not exaggerating or imagining it, this is the resultant pains of many combined problems,  

And I have not had a seconds relief,

I'm surprisingly coping, managing not to scream at Wendie to put me out of it, 

The day is sinking into evening, my pain is getting steadily worse, and I pray to survive one more day,  

I think my big toe is becoming necrotic,

And it's not the Pain that's made me ANGRY !!! 

I was assessed today, by Telephone, I don't meet the requirements for extra assistance, despite my heart. lung, breathing troubles, Diabetes , peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy (I'm going blind), I'm a stroke victim (at age 35), epileptic, Asthmatic, I have falls too regularly, depression, PTSD, I have problems walking, I'm afraid to leave home alone, to name just a few of my troubles and disabilities,

Ok I don't need any help,

I'm so glad I'm coping so well !!! 

And when they DO eventually amputate my lower legs, will I need help then ??? 

Of course I DO consider myself LUCKY !
