I spent Friday in the best possible way with the utter pretence that I was ‘working’ by meeting up with about 6/7 very good Investing Mates at the White Hart, Winkfield (the WheelieBash Pub) and it turned out a hugely enjoyable day and what was supposed to be Lunch and a few hours after, ended up going on til near 8pm or something. Most amazingly, we had our lunch in reasonable sunshine/cloud but then it started raining and it didn’t stop at all – but none of us really minded or noticed that much, and we were able to hide under the Canvas bits and carry on making out that we were working hard on our Investments !!
It was a hugely enjoyable and useful day and Thank You to the chaps that came along to while away the afternoon with me. This week I should be meeting up with another Mate at the White Hart so I have definitely got my priorates nicely sorted.

If you have listened to Podcast TPI 49 (link below if you haven’t), then you will probably have heard my fairly comprehensive health report and since recording that last Wednesday, I can thankfully say that it really does look like the Doctors have at last discovered the problem and for my h8ters the sad news is that I am not going to snuff it, and for the fans, I guess it is good news !!
I still have the pain but it is at a much lower level and the drastic changes to my diet (to be honest, it is not the end of the world and I did need a kick up the posterior with regards to my predilection for eating anything that I see and in crazy amounts) and I even managed to get outside today in the freezing cold and light rain, to pump up the tyres on my MX5. I thought it was a bit spongy when I last drove it, and with tyre pressures at 20 psi instead of the necessary 29, I guess that would explain it. I can’t wait to drive it next and feel the improvement.
I’m typing this starting text on Sunday afternoon after writing all of the Charts bit on Saturday night. I’m well pleased that I did it this way because I was feeling pretty good last night, but today it is not too bad but definitely worse than I would like.
If you are a bit behind, I have had some sort of problem in my abdomen area for 6 months and 4 Doctors have been baffled as to what the problem is; until finally a trip to A&E when I felt extremely bad a week or so ago, came up with the idea that it could be down to excess Stomach Acid burning my Stomach Wall. Sounds horrible.
It’s been quite a frustrating week for me on the health side of things. On top of the ongoing problems around my guts, I managed to pick up the early stages of a Pressure Sore on my left hip and as a result I spent most of the week stuck to my sofa. Thankfully the Sore was caught early but even so it still took around 5 days to improve, whereas I was hoping a couple of days would be enough.
On my abdomen thing, I finally made some tiny progress with Stoke Mandeville Hospital and my Consultant is going to put me through for an ‘Urgent’ MRI Scan. Unfortunately, the definition of ‘Urgent’ seems to mean several weeks before I actually get scanned. Could be worse I guess; it could be a Cat Scan or a Lab Test……….. |
