Bad News - I’m Back

Posted by cotojo on May 5, 2008

Lions Fed Daily

I would like to thank all of those that have left messages on MyBlogLog, comments here, which I will get through and emails that I have received, which I will respond to as soon as I can.

Thank you all for your support and kindness. As some of you know, I have a condition - Ankylosing Spondylitis - which affects my spine and many other joints, my shoulders in particular over the past 18 months or so. I had a major flare and needed treatment pretty quick, so I was admitted to hospital and sedated so that they could manipulate my right shoulder through its full range hoping to pop the muscle capsule below the shoulder blade back in to place.

This was not successful and they decided to keep me in so that they could fully monitor what was going on and also put me through some intensive physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, which I am sure they enjoyed as most were trained by the devil :lol:

I also have prolapsed discs in my lower back and neck, about which they can do nothing because of the AS which has encapsulated them with bone growing over the discs joining the vertebrae in the spine, and I am now waiting for further treatment on both of my shoulders……again!

Please bear with me as I get back to some sort of normality and catch up on posting.

I notice that my PR has gone back to 5 again, maybe I should take more time off hahaha

My Daughters Portrait

Posted by cotojo on April 3, 2008

As many of you know I won Kim from Laketrees Christmas Competition.  The prize was a portrait, and I chose my daughter, Laura, as the subject……..she’s younger than me and much prettier LOL
The portrait arrived here a few weeks ago when Laura was in Italy on a ski holiday with her school, and I had promised that I would wait until she was here for a weekend so that she could open it.
The weekend she was due here she was not well so it was delayed for another week.  Last Friday I picked her up and she stayed for the weekend.  The highlight of course, was opening the parcel!  So here are the photo’s taken as she unwrapped and saw her portrait for the first time, although she had seen it online, but this was different.
So here is a sequence of photo’s starting with the unwrapping, then first look at the amazing portrait.  A few photo’s so you can see the size and the expression on Laura’s face says it all :D   Click the thumbnails for larger view.

Out of the box

Out of the boxFirst LookAnother lookThink she is pleasedShe’s very pleased!

                                 Now to find a wall LOLPhoto in Black & WhiteThe original photo

The final three photo’s are of the portrait, the original photo in B&W for comparison and the origial color photo which was used as the ‘model’.  The photo was A4 size and to produce a portrait which is some 350% larger and with perfect detail is quite an accomplishment. 
It really is an awesome portrait, and we are both more than very pleased with it.  Thank you so very much Kim, it’s a superb piece of art, which will grace the walls proudly for generations to come :D
Now come on everyone, after reading this pay Kim a visit at both of her blogs, Laketrees and PoeARTica, you won’t be disappointed.

Free PC Security Blog First Anniversary

Posted by cotojo on March 28, 2008

Free PC Security

My primary blog, Free PC Security, celebrates its first anniversary today.  What a year it has been too, having met so many superb bloggers and non-bloggers, it has proved to be very popular.

I have managed to gain the number 1 spot on Google Search for ‘Free PC Security‘ and and also in the top 10 for ‘PC Security‘ and ‘PC Security Free‘. This has far surpassed my expectations. 

I have gained a great deal of trust and respect for which I am very grateful and will continue to provide what I hope to be useful information, help and advice.

My thanks go to all of my readers, subscribers and visitors for making me feel so welcome in all of the areas in which I blog.

Thank You All
