thanks for all the well wishes. it is greatly appreciated.
Well it turned out that they cancelled my op when i turned up for the appointment. they made some excuse that they had some emergencies that took priority ( there were a couple of illegal immigrants in handcuffs that were going to get my slot for treatment, but don't get me started on that one) so i tried to rebook my appointment but was told that they could only send out the appointment by letter. well today i received the letter and no appointment. they have refused to treat me because i smoke and i am overweight, which the weight issue is actually caused by my illness that i was having the operation for and the reason i can no longer work. Only when i can prove to them that i haven't smoked for at least a month & have lost about 1 stone ( i'm not grossly overweight in today's society as i am only 15 stone) then they would reassess my op. What a great country i live in. you can get treatment if you abuse alcohol, are a class A drug user, paedophile, rapist, or any other type of criminal, but if you smoke and are overweight then they will now refuse to treat you but not have the guts to say it to your face. i worked most of my adult life and paid into the NHS with my contributions, have no criminal record, but i now have to suffer with pain because i smoke & cannot exercise to lose the weight. They have also cancelled an appointment i had to remove a wisdom tooth too.
So i have just concentrated on the edit. Luckily it keeps me from thinking too much about what a piece of shit country i live in nowadays.
I've just finished the new graphics for the Death Star countdown. Even though they are all new i have kept them very similar to the original design. So things are still on schedule for a November release
