Best wishes for a speedy recovery Leon.

Thanks for all of the wishes folks, it's really appreciated. 

I'm on the mend but I've been stuck laying on my left-hand side for the past 7 days and they've said that it'll be 2-3 weeks before I regain full vision.  I did have a review appointment today where they've said that I can be a bit more upright now, so I'm hoping that I can get a bit of work done while I'm stuck at home.

Hi Leon

I hope that your recovery is progressing well, as others have said it's not something you want to rush.

Currently bored out of my mind stuck at home!  My vision is starting to return in the bad eye so things are progressing.

I've got my next hospital appointment on the 27th so I'm hoping I get the all clear at that point.  But until then, no driving, no bending, no lifting, no laying on my back and apparently no stress...

You have my sympathies!

Many years ago I had a small touch of pancreatitis which laid me low. I knew it was time to get back to work when I knew the daytime TV schedule and was looking forward to "Animals do the Funniest Things".

Hope it all goes well.

Thankfully the world of streaming channels means that there's a lot of things to choose from, but I'm just not good at sitting about.  It all feels so unproductive when there's so many things needing to be done back at Pendraken HQ.

I would be climbing the walls as well. Don't rush it, you only get one set of eyes.

Perhaps you should get a bell - then you can summon M'lady to come and find out what she needs to do for you without moving.

Good luck for the 27th then, Matey !! :-bd
I like Mark's idea of a bell. :)

Lie back. Do some woolgathering. Unencumbered by the daily melee, you are free to have imaginative and creative thoughts. Where next? What next? Think big and free. What are those little niggling gaps that need filling?*

When you get back to work, reinvigorated and energised, what are you going to do different? What are you going to do better?** What will you do on day 1?***

Seriously though, you have a great team who (from my personal experience) are doing very well. Concentrate on getting you back to full health. Don't be in too much of a rush to get back because you're bored - and when you do get back, don't overdo it**** . Short days and lots of breaks.

Take care.

Yeah, I can see that going very well!

Getting there, got a doc's appointment on Monday to see when I can get back.

Quote from: fsn on 25 April 2026, 09:14:31 AMWhere next? What next?

I've done a bit of planning while I'm here, along with some computer stuff in short batches.  Those Amazons are definitely incoming!
