A couple of years down the line.....

As I sit here listening to Deep Purple through my headphones I remembered My Blog ;-)
So here it is, we are now talking about nearly 4 years since my last entry back in 2009 !! A LOT has happened.....

Let's start with my head, as you remember I was struck on the head and woke up in hospital, went through amnesia and a rage stage (no steroids involved haha). Then in late 2009 (October) I met a girl and hey presto we now have a 24 month old beautiful Son !!! So here I am 44 years old this year thinking how I am going to keep myself fit and healthy for him as I understand and respect my mortality but never used to care if I lived or not.
Now I have a reason to live, but that doesn't mean that I don't think any different to the fact that, if your numbers up then that's it ! I don't have a problem with dying....just so long as it's quick and fairly painless.

Oh yes, my head....well....my memories have all but come back with the exception that I can meet people from 20 years ago or even as soon as last month and, I have no idea of who they are. This reminds me of talking with my mother one afternoon about the neighbours and she mentioned that it was such a shame about their daughter passing away....What daughter I replied ? It wasn't that I couldn't remember her dying from cancer, I didn't remember that she even exsisted !! By the end of the conversation I sorta had some recollection of who she was until I managed to remember in full. This happens a lot to me, and unless people around me can jog my memory enough with the right prompts (memories) then I am a blank :-(
As for my short term memory.....................................hopeless :-(

So I have managed to live with it and move on in my life, how gutting to be let down by someone you thought was a friend. Anyway, just a quick update and I think it's time for some sleep. Got a lot to do tomorrow as we're leaving the island....but that's a story for another time :-)
