The Christmas that never was

Christmas Eve (which is when most of the celebrations take place here on the continent. The 25th is pretty much Boxing Day over here.). I'm not happy about spending the whole Christmas holiday in hospital, but perhaps it's just as well. Things are gradually healing and being treated, and with all the breathing emergencies (I've now had six of them), I'm glad I'm not alone at home.

To cheer myself up, I ordered an iPad yesterday. Apple have confirmed that it should be delivered to the hospital by 30th December, so that will keep me occupied until Linda arrives and after she has left again.

Another plus-point about being here is that at least I'm out of the appalling weather. It's warm, dry and free of snow in my room...!!!

My son Danny, together with his better half Isabel and my grandson Dean will be visiting me tomorrow, so that will kill another couple of hours. On the whole, it might be the Christmas that never was, but it's not that bad really.

Merry Christmas to everyone who reads this. And, of course, best wishes for a fantastic 2011.

  3. Try and make the best of a raw deal buddy, and know that today as Christmas dawns I will be thinking of you and wishing you all the best that circumstances can muster.

    Cheers and a toast to your fortitude
