We're doomed doomed

I seem to use this blog to complain all the time about what goes wrong.

And yet, it happened again.

The weather was improving so it should have been full steam ahead, but as DIY builders life gets in the way.

 

This time I became ill, my gall bladder exploded,  started on a Saturday afternoon an by the following Thursday nothing had been improved.

Turns out ambulances only come out for heart attacks so we had to make our own way to the hospital.

Then the queue was 7 hours, albeit was a morphine drip.  It took weeks to get tests and each time we had the 50 mile trip home as I wasn't unwell enough to stay in, not that I wanted to.

 

4 weeks this carried out, doctors, hospitals, tests and no building.

 

Pain unbearable, acid from throat to bladder burning its way through.

 

Thankfully the pain has subsided, but not because of any treatment which I still haven't had.

I'm on waiting lists, whatever that means, and a very limited diet.  The diet, fish, chicken breast and rice does work, but I'm stuck with NO sugar, NO fat, NO diary, NO salt so pretty bland.

 

If you ever wish to lose a lot of weight very quickly then this is the diet for you.

 

Anyway, back to the build.

 

Progress is steady with some real milestones.

To this, complete with lintels

So, compare with most of the builds on here not much progress.

 

But, considering everything that's happened then we are pleased.

 

Maybe by next time we will finish with these walls and can think about a temporary roof.

Oh dear.

A friend of mine had her gall bladder removed, was done by keyhole surgery, so quick and relatively painless.

I take great delight in eating a cheese sandwich, followed by cheese cake, then one of my cheesy grins.

 

For some reason there no pictures, just an icon followed by a dead link.
