Mad scramble to get out of the seat before something vital got scalded  |
Funnily enough there is a cab rock/roll on those class 45's built into the game.

Today - Up until now, I managed not to take anything for the pain since 5 a.m. The eye specialist is confident the new treatment will hit the virus down, but he said it could take 2 months to work......I thought to myself “when will all this end”. Health care here is all private, no NHS. This means it’s not difficult to see a specialist or to get an appointment and no cancellations.
Tomorrow and on Sunday, the eye will get 4 treatments each day. The treatment peaks at 1.5 hours after the drops have been instilled, so by Sunday evening, I am hoping the swelling will go down and I will be able to see out. Don’t worry if I don’t post up much. Apart from the eyesight and the head, everything is hunky dory’s lol 
Have a great day driving the locomotives, what fun  |
Blimey Phil It must be difficult to deal with a closed eye let alone the pain, I hope the treatments today & tomorrow bring some relief.
