1^st Post

A few, actually 11 days ago I was admitted to the local hospital with what turned out to be an inflamed gaul bladder. The surgeons were about to operate when I developed Covid virus, operation immediately cancelled, start course of antivirus meds.

I have typed all this before but a spammer crashed the site and it was lost into the ether.

I know Graham has tried to call me, I sadly rejected the call because I am not able to receive calls into my phone here because the signal has been so poor. As soon as the call starts it cuts off. I can just about run data connections.

I will update as things progress

Best, Robert

Hope that you return to full health soon Robert.
Maybe they will find that your gall bladder problem has also resolved.

Lol - if only it worked that way - even if it is in the same building, it won't be the same team!

Sorry I have not been very active but it's not easy when I have very small bandwidth and my data connection keeps dropping.

I am doing very well. My vitals are spot on, my oxygen is good, I am eating well.

Get a bit tired, but recover pretty well.

Looking forward to going home soon.

Thank you all for your concern.

Regards, Robert

I know it is nice to be at home but dont hurry too much as then you will have all the temptations and distractions of home as well as the chores and shopping etc.
Take it easy for a while.
I know that is easier said than done for you as you like to be busy.

Thanks for all the nice messages, I am a lot better, I was very active over the summer, playing on my little digger, as soon as the cooler weather hit I have retreated indoors. Covid is nasty, I am still taking meds, 14 months on I still get breathless for no reason, often while just stood waiting for something, or even sitting at my desk. My instant recall memory is much worse (yet I can clearly remember telephone numbers and car registration numbers from when I was little?). I can't multitask at the computer as well as I used to. I am currently organising my music collection, a task I have been putting off... If nothing else it's exercising my brain cells! I have quite a large collection of music, probably approaching 30,000 songs, a large proportion of which are rubbish, I am weeding out all the extreme, bang-bang-bang stuff in favour of melody and soft tones! LOL

Chris and JK have both kindly helped me a lot by suggesting software to help sort out the mess. I have many songs with no detailed track info but with the software I can download the missing data, even the images of the cover sleeves, from a central database, amazing.

This was triggered by the impulse purchase of a Sonos 5 loudspeaker at a local second hand shop. The speaker is amazing, the sound quality is superb. It connects with my iMac via wifi, drawing on my music library, gives me a vast selection of radio stations around the world and also allows me to control it from my iPhone!

As those who have met me will know, my hearing is very poor. Due to a mastoid operation when I was a child, years of operating heavy machinery, rock drills and other loud stuff in confined spaces have taken their toll on my 'good' ear. So, a clear, well tuned loudspeaker is to me a godsend, I can enjoy music again!
