Wowsers!!!

As Inspector Gadget may have said.
I spent most of the weekend making the supports for my new bench system. I have build three and only need to clean them up in order to be able to begin the final construction. Once that's done, so much kit will be found a home.The next stage then will be to make up the back plane for power and some storage. Once that is complete, I move on to the second half of the benching and do the same with that. From then onward, it's just a question of moving all the necessary kit either on or under the bench and sorting out the rest of the room. The computers and the construction components will also be permanently available to work on and with. I am also looking forward to having a dedicated computer for designing and scripting.

I am still, however, having some pain from my hip/back and whilst not very bad, it's certainly more than I have had before and not going away. I also ran out of one of my eye drops yesterday. It's one that has a very large outside with a shaped internal container which makes it almost impossible to see how much is left. I had been hoping it would last until next week as the other drops should but it died on me. I went to the surgery at lunchtime and put in a request but apparently the doctor now has to speak to me before she will write a prescription. So, for now, I just have to suffer and wait.

Well, the surgery called me back and I got my eye drops without interrogation. I picked them up after work and had to wait a while. Whilst waiting, two addicts came in to collect their daily methadone. After I had waited for nearly twenty minutes, I realised that I was just as jumpy as they had been and still it didn't sink in. Only when I got home and put my drops in did I work out what my problem was. The drops I ran out of were the ones with the beta-blocker in them. When I decreased my original dose by mouth from 10 down to 2.5, I suffered withdrawal and yesterday and today, I was having the same problem by not using the eye drops. This is not good but I appear to be stuck with the problem as I will not willingly give up my eyesight.
