0540hrs: Woke and dashed to the porcelain.
Horrible memory of horrible dreams. I ran out of money and was evicted from the flat! This dream was the only one I’ve ever had that scared me!
Made a cuppa took me medications.
The cupboard in the kitchen was usable now the repair chappy had sorted me out.
I think I’d overdone it in the cleaning supplies department though… don’t you?
Took these photographs with me other Sony camera to get used to it. Still not working out what all the options are or how to turn the on or off. Sad innit?
Got a bath and shave, me togs on ready to go to the doctors for me INR level blood tests.
Caught the bus to the bottom of the hill and walked into Carrington.
Called to see BJ in the launderette. He said go to the GP and let him know what time the appointment was for – I’d got a bit mixed up and got 1100hrs on me diary and 1045hrs on me written note?
Walked to the surgery and found out it was for 1115hrs?
Walked back and told him. He thought we had time to get to Asda and back by then and gave me a lift to the store.
Thanked him.
I got me bits, potatoes, cooked meats and bread and waited patiently as he came through the checkout after me.
I thought we’d be late by then for me appointment. Had a nasty dizzy spell.
BJ proved me wrong as we arrived dead on time and he waited for me. the it
The nurse took me blood and I told her about the itching under me arms and she gave me some baby-cream – don’t laugh… oh go on then!
BJ ran me back to the flats. Hobbled in, up in the lift and hastily tended to the porcelain.
Made a cuppa and sent a funny-mode email to Deana Walker – head honcho in the flats:
Dearest warm-hearted desperately adorable Deana (that should get me in yer good books?),
- I can report the nice gentleman from maintenance came and did me window – condemned it actually.
- He also screwed some screws into the living room panelling that had come loose it ain’t loose no more.
- I had a call to see if anyone had called to see me about the wrist-alarm battery that was no dying a death. (I told them that I had reported this. to Deana as she was getting into her Daimler to go to visit her AA advisor and she was going to call to see me as soon as possible – Only joking!) She asked me to keep her informed bless her.
- Many letters here for Margaret I’m afraid gal.
I need or will do shortly, a reliable trustworthy man and a van to hire as soon as I have the carpets fitted, to move stuff from the old dump to the flat. Can you recommend anyone please?
I have to sort this out soon as possible after getting the carpets fitted cause I’m paying two of everything and am running a bit low on funds. Must sell the dump to pay me rent soon. Tsk!
Thanking you
Gramercy seeking Gerry.
Hope she see’s the funny side?
Got some potatoes on a low light and updated this diary on the old computer, well laptop.
Email back from Deana just in – no answer to me van and man plea, but she’s waiting for more wristbands to arrive to replace the one I’ve got.
A veritable feast. Even if I don’t have a table to eat it off.
Potatoes (salt and black peppered), tomatoes, beetroot, smoked ham, bread and real butter, South African apple, two Viennese whirls and a lemon mousse.
Later I had an iced lolly, later still a bag of Marmite crisps too!
Glutton!
Laptop on and finished this Diary as I took me medications very late cause I fell asleep on the chair nearly falling out of it and waking up with a start!
Got an email back from Deana. She is awaiting supply of wrist alarms to be delivered – let’s hope me mechanical ticker, reflux valve or the angina don’t get me first and I can’t call for help through the system installed and I pay extra for every week! – Just thought I’ mention this!
I’ve eaten a lot of extras tonight?
TTFN all.
That is quite a feast you have there!
I did get carried away a tad. Hope your keeping okay. TTFN
That looks really delicious Inchy. You can cook for me any time. Who took the picture of you with the needle in your arm???? OUCH! They are coming for my blood on Thursday. EEK! It really doesn’t hurt, it’s just the thought.
I took the picture with me other hand. Not really, I took a piccy off of Google Images that had the same colour tie-band as she used.
They’ve been taking mine since me big operation at least once a week, often like last week four times when the Warfarin level is too high or low. They had to inject straight into the ticker last month cause it was too low. Just to think Angel, i didn’t go to the doctors once for 9 years – nowadays it is at least once a week. Hey-ho, hope your session goes well pet. TTF X
might be worth asking on streetlife about a man with a van, inchy – or perhaps Age Concern have a list of cheap, reliable locals with a van ?
