I wish the hospital would leave voicemails when they call, so that I can call them back. I was asleep when they rang, having had a bad night.
Now I'm anxious as to why they called.

Today was my pre-assessment day at the hospital for anaesthetics. I arrived early, had an ECG before my appointment. All my vitals were checked, and blood was drawn. 40 minutes all in all.
Tomorrow, I'm back at the hospital for my CT scan.

A pint of Guinness being held up - cheers - with one of the locals (William) in one of my local pubs (The Boot) in Calstock, Cornwall, for St Patrick’s Day.

Was für eine Woche...
#Slàinte
It is not a cold day today, just particularly windy. That said, I put the heating on because I am really unwell and feeling every bit of it. The tiredness is probably adding to it.

Mine was tested in January. Sad to say, added yet another pill to my daily intake.

One of those days. Didn't take my cane with me to the hospital, landed my foot wrong, twisted my knee, and I am now in pain. That ordinarily short walk from Falcon Square to the bus depot was excruciating.

Been looking forward to a wee dram and some choccies. No alcohol for 48 hrs before op on Monday and none for 48 hrs after.

Nine hours sleep last night and, more importantly, I didn't wake up tired. Fingers crossed this continues. It was so sweet.
#Insomnia #Slàinte
Good news: I got just over 8 hours sleep last night; I fell asleep within minutes of going to bed; I didn't wake up during the night.
Bad news: I feel utterly shattered. Why?

Serving tartan, tradition, and just a wee bit of attitude. 🔥🥃
Happy Burns Night — may your haggis be bold and your whisky stronger.

Wait 2 moths for appointment with consultant. Wake up early in the morning (4) sick. Get up, get dressed, get ready & still too ill - & in pain - to go.
So, now I have to wait for another appointment. Just my luck.

Ugh. Mouth full of ulcers & other issues. #Crohns can hit you for no reason and make things difficult.

New year, new growth 🌱 The Gaelic word fàs means “to grow” and was once tied to New Year traditions of prosperity and connection to the land. Today, we can honour it by simply noticing the trees around us. #Gàidhlig #GaelicCulture #Slàinte
Happy Hogmanay! ✨
As a proud Canadian with equally proud Scottish heritage, I love this moment of reflection, celebration, and starting fresh.
Here’s to 2026!

***not me in the image, obviously…just having more fun with AI ;)
A dramatic nighttime scene shows a group of silhouetted people standing in front of a large bonfire. Several figures raise arms or hold sticks or swords, while one person waves a yellow flag with a red lion (the Scottish Lion Rampant). Sparks and flames light the background, creating a fiery glow and strong contrast. The figures appear celebratory or defiant, gathered closely together in a public outdoor setting.

Bottle getting kinda empty. Xmas hint going out soon!

While waiting for sleep last night, I did a body check of all the places where I felt pain or discomfort. Mistake! I ended up having to take painkillers b/c the pain wouldn't fade into the background so I could sleep. Not doing that again!
#ChronicPain #Slàinte
Well, well, well. A little over 9 hours sleep last night, mostly REM, but still. Let the regular sleep continue.

This Irish whiskey might have one of the absolute best noses in the industry. The Sherry and dark fruit notes are prominent and amazing! The palate is rich with chocolate, black cherry and those fabulous Sherried notes. Sláinte 🇮🇪🥃
