The Appointment…

by
a sunny hospital corridor… I had no idea what to expect at yesterday’s hospital appointment. I mean, they had already written me off, hadn’t they? Too old, too frail, not fit enough for surgery… All of my misgivings magically vanished the minute the doctor welcomed me into his office. He was a short, cheerful man,…

The Waiting Game…

I have never liked waiting, so faced with yet another wait, I am more confused than ever. Half of me would love to have a good think, to sort out the muddle in my head. And to be honest, I have tried to think it out. But whatever is going on inside my head, it…

I have been exercising regularly every day since last March. Have I been wasting my time, was the set routine just not good enough, or…

Yesterday was the appointment to assess the treatment for the aneurysm. I was nervous, wondering what would happen next.

Although I have been making good headway with my latest mystery thriller, it has come to my attention that I may not be around to actually finish it. A morbid thought, and I have no real idea where it came from, as I intend to finish it, one way or another. Ever since I was…

Moving around the Changes…

My mind was a blank when I woke up yesterday morning. It seemed to stay that way, despite my trying to think of something to write. My brain has been doing this a lot lately, too much going on in there, and I suppose it had switched off for a while. They will be having…
