Hello everybody, as new 'weblogger' I have probably been 'cocking it all up'. So this is a new start.
While on holiday in Spain I had an epileptic fit (a first for me) and awoke to find I was in a local Spanish hospital. My wife, Carolyn, has more details, this is an 'insiders' viewpoint'. The hospital 'did not have the facilities to handle my case'.
All communications in Spanish but I speak (or used to speak) Portugese. (even if I can't spell it)! This turned out to be a comfort since I couldn't fully understand the seriousness of my position, a sort of 'ignorance is bliss' situation.
I was then switched to the regional Medical Centre (at least 10 miles away). There they performed some sort of scan and found that I had a tumour which was sized somewhere between a 'golf ball and a tennis ball'. [I have to go and rest now since computer tires me out very quickly].
