  • the right time to change

    Yesterday I had another of my regular visits to hospital to see various specialists and also have some more blood tests. I would have thought by now they’d know whether or not my blood had passed the test and was fully qualified as blood, but apparently not. I’ve described my progress following my heart surgery…

  • I have some questions…

    There are times when I read what another Christian has written or said and I wonder whether I am reading the same Bible as them because I can’t justify their behaviour based on what I read in my Bible. Now I realise that in writing this bloggage I am opening myself up to an accusation…

  • judging

    So there I was again, sat in the hospital waiting area ahead of an appointment. From my vantage point (and over the top of a cup of coffee) I could see one of the designated smoking areas. It does feel somewhat incongruous that a hospital would set aside an area for people to smoke… But…

  • not from here

    There’s an ancient story of a businessman who got lost in the country lanes of North Devon. His supersatnav in his car was no help. Eventually he came across a farmer leaning on a gate and he stopped his luxury car in front of the farmer and pushed the button to lower the window. “Excuse…

  • it makes no sense

    Many of you will be thinking that this title could apply to almost anything I post online. But I want to offer it as a different way of looking at things. There’s a passage in the Bible that says: And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds…

  • Oh yes… you might be wondering how things are going.

    Hi folks. Sorry to have neglected you… this convalescing lark is quite busy. Yes I could have multitasked while doing something else. But I didn’t. No reasons. No excuses. Sorry. For anyone interested in how I’m doing after the surgery the short answer is that I am making slow and gentle progress. Each day I…

  • progress

    Hello my bloggist chums. I’ve had a really positive week as I continue my convalescence following my heart ops. I had an appointment at the Cardiothoracic Centre this week and assumed it was a follow up after my additional unscheduled stay in hospital. I had a chest x-ray and then was called in for a…

  • wooohooo

    An update on the bloggage earlier. I’m going home today: any minute now in fact!

  • Hospital etiquette

    (This was the view from the ward window earlier in the week) Etiquette is a bizarre thing. Nobody really knows who makes the rules of etiquette but somehow lots of people get upset if they are flouted. And even if you don’t know the rules you can still be culpable for breaches. So maybe you…

  • Three weeks I’ll never forget

    So, dear bloggists, the time has come for me to let you know what’s been happening for the past 4 weeks. I will try to be brief, but a lot has happened. If you read my previous bloggage you’ll know that I went into hospital on 12th February for an aortic root replacement operation. If…
