Strong

13/12/2008 by Russell.

My dad has now been in hospital over 10 days now, his strength and will to go on is unsurpassed. He started with sickeness, urinary infection, and had his kidney pipework replaced, all good stuff, and now because of antibiotics, he’s got thrush in the mouth (thought that was a vag thing) which means eating (one of his pleasures) is not all that it is cracked up to be. he’s now on tablets for that, what next for the poor fella?

He goes to Weston Park for a shot of radiotherapy this forthcoming Tuesday - i suppose this is to try and relieve the pain on his bottom and enable him to sit more comfortably and use his legsagain.

At last the web site http://www.silken-touch.com is live, just needs some minor changes, but we are last able to open our doors to trade.

I have found myself getting more upbeat of late despite the condition of my father. The watershed was with Barry, he gave me some faith in myself and a realisation that I do have a place on this planet.  Thanks Baz.

By contrast 2009 will be my year.  I have a french property venture to sort out, I have a silk duvet business to get going, I have other irons in the fire, which should make for an interesting year, unfortunatley on the down side, will my dad be there to see it?

Greg’s off playing soldiers every Thursday - “bang bang your dead” he tells me how they have to shoot people!  Oh my gosh, at least the camouflage hides where he hasn’t washed, he’s got an excuse now lol!

The rest are here there and everywhere…….I should be in Berlin in Feb, NYC in March…..all student related.
