I do believe you have faith and belief, especially in your own self and in your heart.No I never thought I would be affected. Its a blow and no mistake. I have lost my ability to drive although I feel fine but the seizure in hospital on Feb 15 is the culprit.
The fact that one has a faultless record carries no weight whatsoever.
Just have to keep going whatever.
I just wish my faith was as strong as Ian's.

Thank you Lamont, we have a great group here for mutual encouragement thankyou for your thoughts, I need to keep going as you say.I do believe you have faith and belief, especially in your own self and in your heart.
In saying, you just have to keep going, is as strong as you can be.
I wish to be as strong as you when in my 80's.
I know you enough to know you will bounce back, unless the fool up above wants you early!
Best wishes Derek.
Even flushing them, would be an insult to your toilet!Today someone pushed a load of garbage through my letterbox campaign leaflets one for reform ltd and the other for a so called independent candidate the leader of the local council who with along with 5 of his cronies was recently arrested on 12 different counts of fraud and misuse of his public office this meant I had to leave the house and cross the road to deposit them in a public wastebasket as I could not put them in my household waste bin It would be an insult to the good honest waste in my bin. Crossing the road on foot was very painful but just had to be done.
In my book, there’s no such thing as giving up!I know sometimes, when life gets to you.
you get the blues.
when I was having issues with my feelings, emotions, dark thoughts, the anxiety, the depression, it was not very nice, but it was challenging, but I could never do something to hurt my lot. Especially..............!
but it was itching at the back of my noggin, that when I was really, it would be easy to give up, but I never did.
Mrs L was the biggest reason.
there was other reasons.
I had friends from school yes, more than one, that achieved the deed when they were in their late teens and early twentys. It was the time of the tories back in the 80s.
The effect on their families was tragic.
But, the worst and the most tragic was one of my son's classmates.
his religious family, would not accept his preferences.
The poor lad, was traumatised, and despite the help, couldn't see a way to be comfortable with himself.
Even the priest was shocked, where he did the deed.
And the priest circumvented the church by granting a funeral service.
It was horrendous, I will always remember the mother's face, and the regret stitched across the whole family.
It hit my son hard.
I would never hurt my family like that. I do believe, that it is selfish and inconsiderate, but having had the experience of being so low and feeling, seeming like there is no future, life being so cruel and unrelenting sometimes. I do sympathise, empathise that I know what it's like being in that situation.
I am blessed with the people around me, my family, my doctors, my counsellors and those friends and colleagues who have done their bit to help me.
You lot and this site, for just being there with as Derek says, you are an encouraging lot.
But mostly Mrs L for being there when I need a cuddle and a kind word.
A reason that I do think about every time I'm frustrated, with her issues, of the knock backs that keep coming along. And a willingness to be her husband, carer, friend while I can.
I have to be positive and be the person who will see it through, regardless of life.
I know my limitations, I know it won't ever be like it used to be, I know it hurts, so much.
I will be there for Mrs L, that is why I married her.
That is the contract I signed.
What other choice have I got?
I apologise for this, but after today, I was due a rant!
Hopefully, tomorrow I will take a shower to wash my frustrations away. Fingers crossed you lot!
Or I will be back, for another vent!
It is a beautiful evening out here in my garden, this is what life should be about.
Peace and tranquillity, and the bestest wishes to all.
Good night and may your deity bless you.
Thank you for the birthday remembrance. I had a good day, I think, my OH certainly enjoyed it! Things didn;t start too well as my husband decided he wanted to take me out for a drive I wasn't too keen as I have a poorly back at present. He suggested Whitby, but I plumped for Northallerton - nicely on the flat. We set out ok but somehow took a wrong turning (even though we often drive to Northallerton) and ended up at Ripon. I like Ripon, so was ok with that, He took me to lunch which was also nice.Hug for the seizure Derek. If that was a one off I think technically you could be able to drive again in six months. As for faith, yours' is as strong as anyone's and this isn't a strongest faith contest. It isn't a question of our faith but the love and power of the focus of that faith. Talking of which, I believe it is not only the feast of John the Baptist but birthday of @Ryhia who "lurks" here sometimes. Happy birthday C.
Great art bit @dunelmGood morning everyone on an overcast and balmy start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 6.2 on the gom jabbar this a.m. It looks to be another ankle swelling day in the land of surprises where some mass shouting at politicians is being watered down by folk shouting at footy. North of the border, folk will be receiving the postcards that they, themselves sent from Germany a couple of days ago! We are off out to lunch today and trying for crab salads at the Cod and Lobster in Staithes (pronounced 'steers' by the 11 fingered locals). Art bit - finishing off from yesterday. Hope your day is just warm enough. I best make some koffy and hang out the washing on the Siegfried line.
5.7 this morning.
Dug out my Regatta foreign legion hat to wear this morning. It protects the back of my neck really well.
May need to use air com at my Norwich venue today as it is quite got already.

Thank you @gennepher, take it easy
When I have some new procedure to get my head around, I write it down so that I don’t miss anything.I must admit I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed it may sound daft as I now the the op on Monday is a straightforward procedure and a minor op but the complexity of stopping my warfarin using injectables then afterwards having to use injections and warfarin together for a certain amount of time and having to manage it all myself is giving me a bit of anxiety.
It feels like 25 already.Yes according to Alexa at the moment 21 degrees and expected high of 25 in Norwich today.
