Health: Increased steroids don’t seem to of helped the feet much yet.. guess it’ll take a couple of days.

Jobs: Had a few agencies chase me up, online portfolio is getting good feedback so far - any geeks, please feel free to critique… (view source… ahem)

WebSites: Finished phase 1 of the new site for JonGurd - have a look.

Music: Recorded a new mix last night, for my loyal fans on facebook… all 36 of them… and my promo site

              

Grrrrrrrrrr

Not sure if I walked too much at the weekend, the reducing dose of steroids is responsible… or some combination of the two… but by FSM my feet hurt!!!

Index toes are swelled up again, its sore just to stand up. Frustrating isn’t the word.

Not sure what to do, the specialist is in 3 weeks, or ring the doctor? Maybe if I rest another couple of days (still planning to swim tonight) it’ll go down again?

Uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Shall I keep applying for jobs?? I couldn’t wear smart shoes right now, it’d almost kill me.

UPDATED: Well, they’ve come to me, had my phone ringing all afternoon with people wanting to put me forward for jobs… so thats a start I guess.

UPDATED 2: Oooh look my swim plugin is working!

              

First up… in 2 weeks time, I’ll have the audio bullys on the show! Cool.

:: GIGS CONFIRMED FOR MARCH SO FAR ::

March 21st - Yakuji Love @ Slinky - BE THERE!!!!!!
March 23rd - Havana in Charminster - SUNDAY SESSION!
March 29th - SubPop @ Dusk Till Dawn - woooooo! Nice dingy room

Work wise, I’m happy with the CV + portfolio site and have been applying for stuff.

Still feeling twitchy on the steroids and nt sleeping as much, joints are still creaky but its all good.

My only concern is that as I come off the steroids it comes back, cross fingers.

              

“I’m on steroids and thinking of starting a career in baseball” - Woooooooooo! Haha…. erm ok…

Like I said on my show last night, the steroids are making a difference… I can almost see tendons again on my feet… the knees moving better. My joints still ache, but its upwards baby.

I might be imagining it but I feel more… erm… edgy? Certainly the show last night was a bit more savage than usual, with more energy… I find it harder to get to sleep and I’m always awake (properly awake) within 8 hours (I had found I needed 10hrs sleep)… I’m glad I’m on a gently reducing dose for the next 5 weeks… I have to take the dose first thing in the morning and its GO GO GO from then on! haha… ut oh, I hope I won’t be doing a Matthew Perry (or was that tramadol? been there done that anyway…)

…moving on…

Got a gig booked in for Easter Sunday, feel ready to start doing more stuff (like swimming - tuesdays 730 anyone?) - time to sit down and sort out exactly what’s important to me.

I need to start swimming once a week to get my fitness n strength back.

Anyone fancy a weekly swim?

I could go on my own, but I’d rather go with someone else, at least for the first few weeks.

Great opportunity for someone looking to get fit maybe… having someone else motivate you to go every week really keeps you going!

Answers on a courier pigeon… email… comment… txt… whatever, to the usual places.

              

This mornings visit to the specialist at poole hospital has meant I’m onto a new set of drugs. A reducing amount of steroids across 6 weeks, which, should… fingers crossed… set me straight… finally!

It’s been a long fought campaign… the initial salmonella, through the swollen n knackered joints and the seemingly disconnected symptoms… to this destroyer of all (hopefully)

For some reason, I’ve been chucking my empty drug boxes into a black hole next to my desk, I fished them out earlier and they seemed to fall into the shape of a tank.

(ok so maybe I moved them around a little after I got them out the black hole… honestly not much though)

Dread to think what that little machine o’ war cost me in charges!
