Aaargh!
All this talk of hearing loss, and I am a sound engineer? What'll I do for my next career?

I am up to #11 of radio, with 24 to go and have thrush, bleeding gums, sore throat, can't swallow etc. I don't feel too bad as yet, just thinking positive, and trying to get something into my gullet, and also continue working part-time as I am self-employed.

A story comes to mind about a friend in Greece: He gaily announced to the village one day that it was his birthday. Everyone who knew him said, "Yani, it's not your birthday. What are you on about?". He replied it certainly was, as he had reached the five year mark from his first diagnosis of cancer, and now he was beginning life again... ;-) Good attitude I reckon :-)
