And you my "friend", have been discovered a liar

Wow, didn't realise it had been so long since I posted on here!

Alcohol intake has been managed to the point that I don't get tremors through my body after a period of no drinking, well, not as bad as they were... they still come on but it takes less drink to 'defer' them - it's a start?

Our band, Accidental Angels, has been coming along really well. We played a set for Rob and Fran's joint birthday and got positive feedback. It was a pretty informal gig but just to play in front of people was a kick!

The origional idea was to play in a Marquee but it looked like rain, so we played in an extension to the farmhouse... and acoustically - it kicked ass!!

Had the great (dis)pleasure this week of having to go for Gastroscopy. For about the last five years i've had a big problem with keeping food down and also indigestion. My GP wanted me to go for this procedure because, obviously, alcohol abuse can increase the risk of cancer. I was told that the tube they pass into the throat was 'narrow' - like fuck! It was basically the width of a garden hosepipe!!! And to make things worse, due to my illness, they couldn't sedate me as the drug they use can have negative effects with alcohol :'( It took 3 nurses to hold me down during the procedure, and typically - the one keeping an eye on my stat's, Vicki, was breathtakingly gorgeous! I can't remember much of it other than being told afterwards I was trying to kick the doctor and that my pulse went up to 170bpm - apparently my threshold for age / weight etc is 184 before I stroke out... nice to know. Results? Hiatus Hernia, oesophagitus and multiple erosions in digestive tract... shit happens I s'pose

Stressed about next weeks tribunal...
