life is quite fragile but im still here at the mo.
first off i would like to thank Jacko and Beef for staying in touch through all of this.. thanks guys.
to cut a very long story short, i was very sick and getting worse, weekness and eyesight issues on my left amongst many..
after a few examinations i was told i had had or was leading up to a stroke.... oh shit.
so off to the hospital within an hour to the emergency assesment unit.
several CT and MRI scans later i was told i hadnt had a stroke neither was i having one, but i had an abnormall mass on my right frontal lobe that was causing the issues with my left side.
oh fuck.. this is it i thought.. the single most horrible thing to be told.
ok so last sunday i was transfrerd to Oxfords John Raddcliffe neuro science department
the very next day after more brain mapping to see whats what i went in to theatre for a major brain op, the surgeon removed as much of the bad tissue as he could and freed up some space in there to releive the pressure..
now is saturday and i came home on thursday to recover... i can say i feel a bit batterd and i have a sore head and face, look a bit like frankinstein but i suppose thats no difference depending who you ask lol...
most importantly i am still me and i still have my marbles i hope..
for now is a waiting game for biopscy results to see where we go from here.
so thabks for reading my little story and i hope to be here for a while yet..

Woah there........
Well, you're good enough to type that so that's definately a good start fella, concentrate on getting yourself fit and well again.
Take it easy, and glad you're on the mend

Crikey thats not good.. Thats all I hear these days with people being sick. My best mate lost his eyesight a few years back through diabetes, he really went through the mill.. but with good friends and family you can beat anything..
all the best mate, wish you a speedy recovery... and dont worry, the birds love a scar ; )
