Hi, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm a retired, part-time plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for 18 months, and writing poems for nearly 18 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Oh man, bottomlesscoffee007 and Ivor on the same continent!!!!! Brace yourself people.
No, but I’ve spent most of the day with my own Doctor, and then into out-patients, to visit my medical team, looks like i’ve had lots of little mini-strokes, maybe caused be an infection in/on the heart, all very complicated, and more tests and procedures, over the next few weeks…. the investigations are continuing Watson !!
No treatment yet, but I’m not to do anything strenuous, 😁like now I’m under house arrest !! 😉 I’ve a camera procedure in my heart to do, and I’m to wear a heart monitor next Wednesday. 😊 So there’s more tests to do ☺️
The whole process is quite tiring and of course I can’t help but worry a bit, although I’m still positive 💛🤗😁I’m glad I’m a writer, it keeps my mind busy 🤗😀
Oh it was 40’C here yesterday and 28’C over night, 😉 so it was a tough day for me all round, and I suppose my attitude got me through and I coped with everything ok and it’s a bit cooler today, and I’m feeling ok, and thank you ❤️ for your kindness, all the support for me is definitely heart-warming xxcx
I do hope you get well soon and that nothing gets in the way of you having a fabulous time in the US. Will you make it to Virginia? If so, come visit me at Golden Hill! There are funky chickens here 🙂
