Polaxed

Hello

I have missed a few gigs over the past ten days or so after my back totally seized up.

It was horrible. I was paralysed on the living room floor. My arms and legs were numb and I was losing consciousness.  I suddenly understood what it must be like to be an old person who has "had a fall".

I managed to reach my phone and call an ambulance and was wizzed off to hospital (those speed bumps are a bastard by the way). As I lay in the ambulance, off my head on gas and air I thought "Hang on... there's some material in this."

I'm just about getting back to normal now. But I was sorry to have to cancel a couple of gigs. I missed being in the Best of Rawhide Raw. And I also missed doing a private function for a mate.

Still, I'm now looking forward to next Tuesday's gig when I hit the dizzy heights of Tyldesley. Showbiz!
