Aaaah!
I finally got home on Thursday night, and BOY what a relief that was!
Home, My own bed, Relaxed, Relieved!
Luvly.

Except when I sat at my PC, at which point, my difference in eyesight became a bit of a nightmare, as I realised I could no longer see my computer screen!

Noooooo!!!!!

A few days later, a feint, a trip to a docs, and MORE pills being dished out, I’m now oddly able to use the downstairs PC to a certain degree of visibility. It’s still a bit blurry, and I really do need to focus. I might even cheat, and reduce the resolution a wee bit
But it’s readable, and that means I can type stuff in, which hopefully means a game in the not too distant future.

*fingers crossed*

Week Five.
I’m still stuck here.
But with any luck, the next few days should be my last in here.

There’s an odd bubble forming at the back of my neck, which appears to be getting larger each day.  Hopefully this is meant to dissipate, and leave me feeling all healthy again.  Currently its doing the exact opposite.
Ugh..

And so I continue to sit here, half asleep knocked out from the Codine, just kinda doing naff all.

I’ve definitely added a bunch of game ideas to my AGameAWeek todo list, though!
The games are coming..   I just need to get out, first

The basic result is in.
I have a cist, (of what particular sort I’ve yet to be told / can remember) somewhere between my brain and my spine, which has been causing “pressure”.

Apparently the drain that I had last week is enough to have curbed any possible damage, and frequent scans/drains oughta keep it under control.

They’re apparently quite happy to leave the thing in there, since its no longer a threat.  I hope they’re right!

…  still not certain about yesterday, though.   That whole “oozing neck” thing wasn’t too nice.

Another Sunday in hospital.
Since I posted last Tuesdays game, I’ve been cooped up in an NHS bed, waiting..

A “something” was found in a CT scan, an ambulance called, something drained, and now its a case of waiting around to see exactly what that something turns out to be.

It’s annoying to think that, nearly two whole weeks later, I’m still sat here. I still have a headache, and I still have a sore neck.

And I wonder/worry what the results may bring?
Operation two is not out of the question..

As I sit here coding buttons for a ridiculous amount of time, (about 2.5 hours so far!) it’s suddenly occurred to me that it’s Saturday, and I’ve no AGameAWeek planned.

Whoopsy!

I’m off to work in a bit, too, so that won’t help either.

Tuesday : Haven’t a clue, and it’s gonna have to be really quick!

As the Mario game flies over the head of the internet, Jay takes note.

2 days after posting to TIGsource, the first comment went online last night.

“I’m an art guy, so when I see Goombas with holes in their heads instead of shadows, or tiles that have sharp ends, I’m not inclined to give something a try. Maybe someone else will, but my art instinct is telling me to wait for something that recognizes its visuals
Have you had any luck with this elsewhere? The genre doesn’t immediately grab me, but a good review could get me to play it.”
