@Papergirl1968 - see if you can get a free bus pass. I applied for mine when I found out that having to surrender your licence for medical reasons can be a qualifier.

Might make those cold winter mornings slightly cheaper!

All the best Papergirl. Here's to a no-growing tumour!

Good to read your update, Papergirl1968. My fingers and toes are crossed that it doesn't grow at all over the next few months. Good idea about the bus pass from yesitsmeidontcare.

Aren’t they going to try and prevent further seizures? They can’t just stop you driving forever 😧

I wouldn’t have elective brain surgery either.

Phew, @Papergirl1968. Peak Phew - benign is the best news.

So relieved and grateful for you sweetheart.

See how it goes - seizure could well have been a one off. Matt and Socks on cuddling duty, of course, for the foreseeable.

Thank you everyone. I know there is a benefit that pays taxis to and from work for people who can't drive due to illness or disability, but will look into a free bus pass too as that would be very useful, thanks Yes..
I'm now on anti epilepsy meds, which should hopefully prevent more seizures, Fluffy.
I actually feel really good, I think just overwhelming relief that I don't have to have surgery, at least not yet.

Of course, Lana! Matt, Socks and Venus (the dog) have been such a comfort to me.

Yes you can get free public transport and reduced taxis. Council sorts it for you

Taxis would be great on cold mornings.

I see the captain is using his scratch post despite your insistence that it is in fact a settee.

Nearly ran a drunk over today 🙄

You ought to apply for PIP too. It takes forever to process, then they reject you, then you appeal and they say sorry and you get it - but the payments are backdated to
Your application date so it’s worth setting the ball rolling.

Ask me if you want assistance. The form
Is a nightmare but I’ve done it for various relations who were rejected even tho they are completely insane and immobile. I felt pretty insane after all that red tape but I won.

Well done Fluffy, did he jump into the road? Terry the Tramp holds up the A24 here the whole time. He’s immortal.

Completely insane made me chuckle.

No the fucker walked out without looking. I wasn’t in a good mood so he doesn’t know how lucky he is.

Lucky bastard had a can in his hand and was drunk as a skunk at noon while the rest of us go out to work because we haven’t got the income to really commit to an addiction.

Work is the curse of the drinking class. (Oscar Wilde)

We used to have toxic terry. Known as that because he drank petrol. Yes, actual petrol

He should have been called Flammable Fred.

He’d have been mugged for his fuel round here.

By a banker.

Visit 2 today. He willingly accepted a fuss in exchange for treats

He secretly loves the fuss more. 😃

And he's back for visit 3

Papergirl are you going to name the tumour? I named the cyst that was embedded between my ribs.

He was called George, and I referred to the surgery to remove him (1 hour under GA) as our divorce!

Thanks, Lana, the dog's boyfriend's owner suggested PIP too, so I will look into it.
I nearly ran a group of schoolkids over on my way to see the neurosurgeon yesterday, Fluffy. That would have been interesting trying to explain it to the police. The first couple had time to cross, the middle few were cutting it fine, then the last two or three looked at me driving towards them, then ran across the road after their mates like silly sheep, earning a blast of the horn and a glare.
I had thought of naming the tumour, Allergic. I toyed with Tommy Tumour or Timmy Tumour. However I have decided on...Boris!

Visit 4... anyone want a cat? Paws is currently licking mayonnaise off the plate I am eating from
I have no control whatsoever

Boris is a great name

Boris is very apt.
