Gout Recovery...


...is getting there. After watching X-Men III on Friday night, the right foot was feeling rather painful, and by the middle of Friday night, it was throbbing with pain. Luckily I had medicine from UK with me, so took those straight-away and (to my wife's annoyance) kept my foot up for most of the weekend and resting it as much as possible. The resting of the foot certainly helped as well as the medication. I went to the doctors yesterday to see a specialist, and she required me to have a blood test to check for levels of uric acid (as well as other stuff too) just to make sure the kidneys livers are in working order. Fingers-crossed!
This morning the swelling has gone down considerably and I can put a little more weight on the foot so walking would now be possible. Hopefully I should be fine for walking tomorrow if I get another day's foot rest.
On X-men III, I recommend you to go and see it. As usual it has all the great special effects and snidey jokes from Logan which keeps the audience tickled.

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Its been a while!

Hey all, sorry, had been away for so long.  Sometimes have so many things going on and so many thoughts, not sure what to write. Life update is that we've moved out of the in-laws place, and renting an apartment in the city.  It's not brand new. No lifts, and we live on the top floor, but it's my home now. Just recently been in hospital for stomach ulcers causing internal bleeding.  Nightmare, when you wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 4 days.  But I'm back home now, but only this morning, I discovered I now have a gout attack.  FML. Anyway, life continues to surprise or annoy me in new and fascinating ways. Mimi is still with us by the way, always staying loyal and guarding. Until next time.

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
