Off to Crete on Saturday, so some match previews are open for anyone with a functioning keyboard to elaborate on the bare bones I'll set up......
On the health front - some of our members with long memories may recall that a little over 2 years ago I said that I was being referred to the Cochlear Implant centre in Bridgend for assessment, as my hearing aids were more ornamental than useful. Well, the moment appears to have arrived, and not a moment too soon - I've been given a date for Surgery of Wednesday October 11th. The device will be implanted that day, and then I'll be totally deaf for 4 weeks (nothing new there) until the processor is activated by the Hospital Audiologist. After that it's a question of re-educating what little brain I have into getting used to the new miscellany of sounds that I should be receiving. More news to follow, just to bore you, or at least to take your mind off things like Rotherham......
Holidays and health.....
The place for all general topics not related to the Saddlers, plus the ever-popular Prediction League. Keep it fun.

Re: Holidays and health.....
Brief update - operation successful (according to the surgeon, who took 5 hours over it!) and now home feeling very "washed-up" largely due to the long-lasting after effects of the anaesthetic and the extremely strong painkiller (Tramadol) shoved into my i/v line when unconscious.
The surgeon says I have to "take it easy", and all the advice on the internet forums from people who have been through it is "sleep, sleep, sleep" - and I'm very happy to oblige.
Now let's sort Blackpool out.......... :D

Re: Holidays and health.....
Take your time with your recovery Welsh. I have had a relatively recent anaesthetic and tramadol and it does knock you about. Allow yourself to be waited on hand and foot !! Best wishes.
