More on the entropy of passing years

[flaviomatani]

Here, coughing has receded after a rather uncomfortable night the previous one. Still with that back pain all the time, although it goes up and down in intensity. And tingling feet, which is the alarming bit. All the time now. Blood tests on Monday. Today, not a lot. Two lessons in the evening, hopefully some guitar practice. Would love to find a couple of little local venues where I could do some more recitals. Not that I get money from those, fifty quid if I’m lucky which, given how long it takes to prepare one and set one up etc plus the having to talk to people and promote it, etc, works out at a couple of pence per hour, but it is something that I need to do..

Doctor's appointment on Monday was slightly alarming. Young female doctor saying that the back pain plus the swelling in my forelegs could be something extremely serious, loss of renal function and 'it happens with age, there is no treatment for that so you just have to live with it'. Or it could be heart. All this didn't make the rest of this busy week particularly stress free or enjoyable. Quieter today, just a couple of lessons in the evening. Some social things tomorrow.

Not enjoying this entropy of accumulating years much..
