Monday 31st December 2018
23:40hrs. I woke and stayed where I was, preciously perched half-on, half-off of the £300 second-hand rickety recliner. The mind deep in muddled, confusing thoughts. I spent a few moments trying to reclaim some recollections of the dream I knew I’d been having, and that it was not pleasant, could no memories were found lurking in the brain-box. Various bits came to mind for the day… The Asda (Walmart) delivery is due twit 06:00>07:00hrs. Another jet of wee-wee was building up. At least on the Furesomide, although the powerful evacuations cause splashbacks and a little pain, at least I get some warning beforehand now. What time is it? (Good heavens 2340hrs!) The fluid retaining legs feel a lot easier this morning. Hello, a Quick visit from Dizzy Dennis and Reflux Roger is kicking-off. The stomach is rumbling. Why are some of the Papsules bleeding? Maybe I might have been scratching them during the night? Did I take last nights medications? (I found out I had later, Phew!) I wonder if Nurse Nichole will do me today at the blood test? I mustn’t forget the Doctors appointment either… on and on the mind waffled to itself!
Made a brew of good-strong Assam tea, and had another LHBLWW (Long Hosepipe-Blasting like Wee-wee).
Another LHBLWW and I got the weekend diary post finished off. It was sad reading when I edited it, but a few times I found myself laughing out loud at my own antics. Hahaha! I sent it off to WordPress.
I went on the WordPress Reader section.
Made a start on this blog. I thought about having a bit of brekkie but resisted.
Had an SSWW (Short-Sharp-Wee-Wee) for a change? Then another one, five minutes later, Tsk!
Got the ablutions done early, no showering of course yet, too soon.
The Asda man delivered at 0615hrs.Thanked him and got the fodder sorted, after yet another SSWW!
Got updating this blog, and consumed the Raspberry Ripple later on.
At 0800hrs, I took the black bags to the waste chute and deposited then.
Got to think things through now. Dr Vindla at 11:20hrs, INR Blood Test at 12:00hrs, must remember to ask about the QMC appointment to see if they have it yet. Being holidays, I imagine it will be a few days before I am advised. Can’t be helped.
AS I limped along, I was overtaken by a few other inmates. I was limping along even slower than usual this morning. A tinge of jealousy overcame me, seeing the others getting a move one s they belted by me. Hehe!
I called into the Nottingham City Homes, Winwood Heights, Generaloberstesses Wardens Temporary HQ. WC, Rumourmongering Clinic. Sarcasm & Insult distribution area. Tenants Socialisationalistic Area. Telling Inchcock off Zone. Crockery and pottery to be stolen from location, and inmates porta-cabin, and managed a natter with a few others, but they were apparently in the same mood as I was, and poorly with it. They also looked a little the same as me, in appearing to look so tired-out. Bless us all!
I set off along Mansfield Road and up the incline. I was moving at a fair rate of knots for me but was coping well with the pace for once.
I managed to walk by, on the inside giving the chaps a look of disgust as I did so, banging their mirror on the way by. How are people with prams, disabled carts, shopping carts supposed to get by, without going on to the road to do so?
I got myself to the surgery and logged in.
DR Vindla did various tests and seemed pleased with how the fluid retention had gone down in the legs and told me to carry on with the Furismide and come back to see her on Monday week. She needs to monitor the effects on the kidneys and liver. The QMC appointment will arrive next week in the post. She did not mention any blood-tests other than confirming today’s. I would imagine, I’ll get an Email from them when the results come back on the test I am about to have. I was dismissed, and returned to the waiting area, to be called to the Nurses room. I opened the crossword book (neither session on this book today, proved very auspicious).
Bit of luck then, it was Nurse Nichole who came to collect me. Luckily, the bleeding took an age to stop after the test, thus expediting a short but so-pleasant nattering session for me. Thanked the gal and handed her some nibbles for the New Year, leaving a bag of nibbles on the reception desk on the way out.
Once outside, I really didn’t feel well at all. A partial visit from Dizzy Dennis, the innards rumbling and fear of wee-wee escaping all made me nervous. So, I went to the nearest shop that sold beefburgers (Carrington Co-op). I selected a pack of four Co-op brand burgers from the freezer. That was the only choice they had!
Out to the bus stop, I went, and caught a bus within a minute, back up to Sherwood. Right timing too, (I thought at the time anyway), there was about five minutes before the bus was due. Four other tenants were also at the shelter, and a chinwagging, laughter and snide remarks were enjoyed by all, while we waited.
Hell, I was so glad to get inside. Straight to the wet room to sort myself out. The PPs had coped better than I expected them to. The lesion had been bleeding. So, off with the clothes and binned them, under the shower for a long session of cleaning and freshening. While I was taking a shower, another unstoppable LHBLWW evacuation arrived! This state of affairs is getting to me now! Finally cleaned and changed clothes and did the Health Checks, the BP is very low again, and I wasn’t feeling too good. I put this down to my embarrassment factor. What will I do if this happens again, when no L9 buses are running?
I am now, sorry for myself, depressed and in a state of utter dysphoria. A nervous physical and mental wreck!
Flavour Rating of 8.8/10!
I got the things in the washing up bowl. Did the Health Checks. Then I got myself into the £300 second-hand recliner.
Lots on the gogglebox to watch.
Zzzz!
Happy Wet New Year! When you drop by stores like the burger place, can you use their restroom to get some intermediate relief? I can see how becoming a hoser certainly cramps your style when you are out and about. The street art is quite good. I feel sorry for the poor person who stepped in it. Beef, beans and sourdough bread look good.
Cheers, Tim.
Bestest wishes for you and your clan of furries for the New Year!
I took some shots of the midnight fireworks again this year, but although I say it myself, they came out a little better this time. (Which was easy enough, cause last years were not good, Hehe!) I’m doing a post with them all in.
Very pleased with the nosh, thanks.
Twas a lady that trod in the poo, and she kindly warned me about it as I got off of the bus. (The bus that will, according to the bus driver, be taken off shortly – I could have cried, Grr!)

Happy New Year, Inchcock! It’s always a pleasure and a boost to see you on Mad Hatters, your “likes” have perked me up on some seriously fucked days when I needed it most.
I can still say this because I’m in Portland, Oregon: See you next year! Hahahaha!
I Fank You! May your foibles ferment with festivities, Sir!
I hope to continue, and you are with me, proffering our individualistaicalised brand of humour, for the world to share!
Then we can become a force to shatter the very… Oh, I nearly got carried away there again… Sorry.
Have a much improved new year, mate!
Cheers.
You’re very welcome and thank you. “Much improved” is precisely my plan.
I’d like to wish you a Happy New Year Mr. Inchcock. I don’t think much of the world enjoyed 2018. Maybe 2019 will be better for all of us. I have been reading things you have written for almost 10 years. I still enjoy reading what you write. Thank you.
So kind of you, Sir.
May all your wants and needs come about!
Found memories seeing you and Barb!
