Happy Easter to all those who celebrate it.

Ugh.. We're back to finger-pricks again.

I'm supposed to be heading to our new Doctor's today, to have the usual blood tests and whatnot, but Mum's not feeling too good, and may need to see a Doctor..
!

Yesterday was my second Diabetic Eye Screening..
.. because the first one apparently didn't work.

Yesterday went fairly smoothly, if I'm honest!

Spent HOURS yesterday doing the Salford Neurosurgery appointment.

Yesterday's attempt at reaching the bridge was a bit of a failure.

Today's plan is to walk to the Meccano bridge.

Like.. How to get to Salford Royal...

Hmm.. That's slightly worrying..

Back in 2012 I was hospitalised with a brain tumour.
In August of that year, I posted a lengthy ramble about what was going on, and now nine years on, I figured I should post an annual "how'm I doing" post.

Spent most of yesterday preparing for today's big trip.

Aaaaah, Stitches.

Oh, boy..

At some point in the past few months, my Shunt seemingly disintegrated for reasons that are still unclear, but are more than likely just an age thing.

Doctor suggested a recent MRI would help, so I'll be heading off up there again, once I've got the appointment for that.

Salford Royal, Neurosurgery, Outpatients.
Haven't been up there for a good few years, and hopefully will be getting away with a general chit-chat, and perhaps a second outpatients appointment for a scan.
If they keep me in, then.. Grrr!!
I've prepared everything, just in case, though. My phone's topped up, and all items for a "Staying In Bag" are sat in my bedroom ready to be whipped up at a moment's notice.

Last February they removed some of my disability. My Mobility was apparently perfectly fine, even though my Mobility is my main issue.
*ugh*
Today, I finally get my day in court, and hopefully all goes well.
Normal AGameAWeek service will resume later.

Migraine = Chill out with Hours of Red Dwarf

Yesterday was a fairly significant downer.
Terrible news on the home-front, and all plans were off.
Bad news is what it is, and there's not a lot I can do about it, but it's certainly something that puts a stop to all the things you're doing.
Today I'll try to get my mind back into its normal place, and see if I can make a game.
I've been saying all week about how much I like Foldapuz's new Five Blocks game, so I'll probably end up redoing that for Shoebox...

Went for a checkup this morning.

It's 7 years since I first posted the Jiggity post, waffling on about my health, and the tumour, and all of that gubbins.
As is tradition, here's my annual health update post!
Feel free to skip by this post, it's all about my crappy health issues, and since nothing's changed, you probably know it all anyway!

At 3pm I have to be at the town hall, where I'm having a discussion with a council worker about my upcoming disability tribunal.
Oh the fun!!
As such, any and all coding will probably be abandoned for much of the day, as my mind whizzes around trying to decide what I'm going to say, and all that kind of gubbins.
Not a fan of this kind of thing, if I'm honest.
Hopefully I'll get back on track, later tonight.

As much as I've been struggling on with a flu, for the past few days, yesterday completely floored me.

I've never had to wear a wrist strap, before, but the sheer agony in my wrist, yesterday, was on a whole other level.

The trip to the Diabetes Doc went pretty smoothly.

I have to head off into town, today, to have a diabetes checkup.
