Sorry to hear about the worsening of your tinnitus, Thor.

I’ve had a fairly shit past two years. My mum died in September 2023 and I was constantly jetting back and forthe between Spain and Scotland. Thankfully my brother is in Scotland and he could do a lot of the funeral arrangements. I was with her when she died. It was terrible. No sense of peace, just terror in her eyes. I was alone with her then. My brother couldn’t come to the hospital as he was really ill with Covid. I also saw my dad die, in 1982. I think about my parents every day.

The day my mum died, I started seeing lots of flashing lights at the corners of my eyes, and swarms of flies. In the morning I was in the Emergency bit of the hospital, where I was told I was in danger of having a detached retina. Then I went upstairs and watched my mum die.

Since then I’ve lost 10 kilos in weight. I had diarrhoea for nearly two years, but it’s getting a bit better now. I think it’s all down to nerves.

Are you sorry you asked?
