I had a good night last night, no pain at all. The sporadic nature of this problem is puzzling. As I have no pain during the day the good Dr Michael does not believe it has anything to do with my bones. He suspects that it may have something to do with  my ligaments and […]

I was in a certain amount of pain last night and therefore spent quite a lot of time listening to the BBC World Service. They were going on about the outcome of Basle 3, the meeting of world bankers to establish a global agreement to try to prevent the near disastrous economic collapse of the […]

I heard today from Proctor and Gamble, the first of the three firms to whom I submitted my ‘Mitt Wipe. I must say the gentleman concerned, David Hull, has been very generous in the amount of time that he has dedicated to considering this product. In the event he had to decline to proceed with […]

Readers may recall that I sent my first ‘invention’, the ‘ Mitt Wipe’ product, off to Proctor and Gamble, Boots the Chemist and Lloyds Pharmacy, towards the end of last year to see if any of them would be interested in taking this to the market.. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the […]

Overnight, it was the first of the seven One Day International cricket series against Australia. England started well and got to 90 for no loss. At one stage they looked as though they would get something in the region of 320/ 330 runs but when Pieterson was out for 78 the scoring rate slowed down […]

I had a better night last night, virtually no pain or discomfort, so I really don’t understand what is the problem. In fact, I even noticed doing my morning exercise in bed that it was a little easier than the day before so there must be some variation, day-to-day, with one’s muscle strength. Yesterday, I […]

Lucy from Papworth hospital, kindly dropped in early this morning to readjust the respirator. Hopefully, when I try it  to night it will be a little more efficient. I must say I am extremely impressed with the service given by this particular hospital over what must be irritating little problems for them which, in a […]

The first night with the new respiratory mask proved to be a bit of a nightmare. With the humidifier fitted the moist air seemed heavier and more difficult to breathe. Whenever I attempted to turn over, for example, I found myself gasping for air. We telephoned Lucy early this morning and she kindly agreed to […]

Dr Lort, my GP, kindly telephoned this afternoon to give me the results of the four recent blood tests that Clare, the district nurse, carried out. The PSA was practically zero, which is good news confirming that the prostate cancer has not returned or spread. Two of the other test were to do with bone […]

Just after midnight last night there was a power cut, or at least that’s what I thought. My wireless cut out but fortunately the emergency battery on the respirator kicked in. but in doing so set off the alarm which rang continuously all night, in my ears, I imagine something akin to tinnitus (continuous ringing […]
