Thread: Anyone seen Sheerluck?

Well, jeez where do I start.....?

Might be worthwhile going getting some coffee and popcorn, this may take some time to write down without sounding like a sob story worthy of a reality TV contestant....

Geez Dave, you can't even go to the toilet without harassment from AULRO.

Ian, I think if I'd been sat on the loo for 18 months, I reckon

1. I'd have run out of stuff to read by now
2. my legs would definitely have gone to sleep
3. the queue would be right around the block

And the sewer system would be so backed up you'd be perched upon a sizable mound.

All that glitters is not gold, Ian.

But it may contain some:

You never cease to amaze me, Mick.

MICK FOR PM.

Well here goes the story of the last 18 months...

Back in September 2014, I woke up one morning with a huge headache, the mummy and daddy of all headaches. So I made an appointment to see my GP early that morning (my GP surgery is the best), and when I got there i fell flat on my face.
Ambulance ride to hospital, and by the time I'd got there, I had lost the sight in my left eye, had major blurred vision in my right, and lost most of my hearing.

Was shoved in and out of various machines as they searched for brain tumours, bleeds, evidence of strokes, aneurysms. When only one eye would react to light, the doctor was a bit concerned!
Was eventually diagnosed as "brain shift" (and yes, I've definitely got one thanks Muppet, I've got pictures to prove it) caused by a massive spinal fluid leak. You can guess where it was leaking, as I apparently looked like half a Kim Kardashian.
So more prodding around in the spine with needles as they tried to stop the leak.

By the time I left hospital, most of my vision and hearing had returned. I did make the mistake of going back to work too quickly though.....
I did spend the following months being chauffeured by my wife, as the headaches and visual disturbances made driving, watching TV, looking at screens or anything bright absolutely awful. But as you do, I soldiered on at work, and those around me were making up for the bits I couldn't do.

So with the back pain and head pain, I got to the stage where my mental health deteriorated.

Badly. I won't go into the details, but I'm still upright and breathing.

Things didn't improve a few weeks later, when I got my redundancy notice. And there started a couple of months of pretty shabby treatment by my now ex employers.

Since I left there, there has been all manner of excitement, court cases, rounds of medical tests, different treatments......and I'm now at least at the stage where I have improved immensely from where I was.
Still on the return to fitness, the back has improved, and I'm looking for a new line of work (as potential employers have seemed to look at my recent history and run away).

So I hope you'll forgive and understand the absence. I'm back to make Muppet's life a misery again.
