Typing with left hand only...

Up at 5 and Tangerine Dream entertained as I read Paul Stump’s critical biography of the band, whilst listening to the single disc collection I compiled for my chums Martin Lennon and Dr Prog over six months ago when we went to see the current line up...

The right side of my face, along with my neck and the front of my right shoulder remained totally numb all day - despite this, I could still feel the pain...

The operation was different from what I’d been expecting – apparently the surgeon went in and checked over the work done in October 2007 and declared it to be fine - then he went further in and did something or other in relation to my collar bone and its interaction with my shoulder...

Six months to a year recovery time apparently but, if successful, I should be pain free for the first time in over twenty years...

I am on painkillers now but trying to keep the arm moving – I have a sling but am trying to use it sparingly...

All in all, not really feeling too great but that should pass...

The exec producer buoyed my spirits with her care...

Listened to a couple of Sid Smith’s podcasts, featuring much interesting new music – and this inspired me to cobble together with a few left handed clicks, my latest two podcasts featuring recently acquired musical acquisitions...

Ended the day listening to music from 25 number one albums...



...it seems, in my collection, I have almost a fifth of all number one albums since 1959...

Highlight of the Day : Relaxing...
