Back at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital this morning to see the consultant, the wound appears to be slightly infected so they’ve placed me on a further course of antibiotics. If it gets any worse they’ll take me back into theatre, if it heals then they plan on admitting me again in the new year after my follow up appointment for a further investigation under a general anaesthetic. 🙁

Another cold day
The district nurse was concerned this morning and has arranged for me to be seen at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital tomorrow morning.
A frosty morning
The district nurses are happier with the way my surgery is healing. 🙂
I had a delivery of prints from the lab this morning so I should soon be able to complete the last few remaining orders.
A lovely sunny day
It’s a bright cold day today, the sort of day that would be great to get out and enjoy but unfortunately I’m not able to get about at the moment. No decision yet on sending me back to hospital, have to wait and see.
I have a few orders to make up but they’ll have to wait a little until I’m able to get back to work but I’m hoping to get everything back up to date within a week or so.
A lot of wind and rain
The district nurses are still concerned about the state of my wound, they’re unable to pack it as it’s blocked by a large clot, they’re currently trying to soften the clot with Granugel but unless there’s progress by Monday I’ll have to visit the hospital once more. 🙁
The weather today has been dreadful with a lot of rain and high winds.
Back home again
Visited the doctor last week and was put on antibiotics over the weekend but things were much worse by Monday so I was admitted again to Ward 7 at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and in theatre that evening. The staff on Ward 7 are really lovely. I was discharged on Tuesday afternoon and the district nurses are visiting each morning to dress the wound. The sister visited this morning and she isn’t happy with the wound so she may refer me back to the hospital depending on how things progress over the next few days. 🙁
Colli’r cawr o Fynydd y Garreg
A very moving tribute and celebration of the life of Ray Gravell from Stradey Park today, he was a truly great man.
A cold Wednesday
I met with Leanne and Michael last week to discuss photography for their wedding next year, they told me they were booking me at the meeting and I received their completed wedding contract and booking fee in the post this morning. I’m really looking forward to their wedding as they’re a terrific couple and are planning on having mainly informal photographs.
It’s quite surprising how quickly wedding dates are being booked for next year, we have quite a variety of weddings booked at a wide range of lovely venues including castles, stately homes, country house hotels and golf clubs and we’re also travelling a bit with some overnight stays.
Another fairly intensive Welsh class this afternoon, so many new words to forget and so many different mutations to get wrong and I used to think Latin was difficult when I was in school! 🙁
Blog Fixed!
Something must have gone wrong with the last upgrade to my blog software as I haven’t been able to write any posts since the upgrade last month! I finally had some free time this morning to re-download the upgrade files, FTP them to my server and repeat the upgrade process. Everything seems to be working and I can once again write posts. 🙂
It’s been a busy month with lots of work on album designs, making up albums and print orders. This is a really busy time for album manufacturers and often low stocks and long delivery times reflect this.
I’m enjoying the new Welsh class, the pace is fairly brisk and it can be quite a struggle to keep up, there’s quite a lot of spoken work and homework twice a week so it’s quite intensive.
Claire and Lee stayed with us last weekend it was really nice to see them again.
A different Welsh class
I had a visit to the dentist this morning. I attended the Welsh class at Ty Illtud in the village this afternoon, a great bunch of people, the pace is a little intense and very little English is spoken but it was quite enjoyable, the next session is on Monday so I’ll need to finish the homework over the weekend.
