Ukranian: Неділя 26 травня 2019 року
I extracted my bulbous body from the rickety, ci 1968, gungy-beige, second-hand, £300 recliner, caught my balance, but still took the stick with me, and visited the EGPWWB (Emergency Grey Plastic Wee-wee Bucket). I was gobsmacked at how full the bucket was. I knew that the hours spent trying my best to get to sleep, were wee-wee ridden, but the amount passed surprised me. I think I managed around three hours maximum. Getting fed up of this, especially as sleep was never a problem before the stroke. Hey-ho, mustn’t complain, I’m still here, pale and white, struggling, but alive. I must remember this!
I went to empty and resanitise the EGPWWB. The colouring was a darkish brown. As was expected, Sophia and Caroline had warned to expect this with taking the Nitrofurantoin antibiotic. The hands and finger had joined the right leg in dancing about every time any contact is made. The fingers and hand with a mug of tea and the foot contacting the floor seem to be very popular with the Axonotmesis at the moment. Hehehe!
Hey-ho!
I can testify to the good quality metal used in
The picture is a little blurred, as the hands were also shaking a bit, but they all calmed down shortly. I even managed one of the Hokey-Pokey dance routines again.
Off to the kitchen, and was greeted by blasting wind coming through the windows. Mind you,
On closer inspection, it turned out that I had not pressed hard enough last night when shutting the window on the left.
Hence the wind was blowing in.
So, I managed to get it appropriately closed, after a few tries. That’s some else since the
I tended to the health checks, took the medications, and made a brew of Strong English Breakfast tea in the China mug.
I had a comment on WordPress, answered it, and went on the Reader Section. By the time I had done this, the EGPWWB was already refilled to a third of its capacity. All of the wee-wees were of the UWTWW Unwilling-Weak-Trickle-Wee-Wee class, up to now. But, they seemed to be getting more frequent, so the antibiotics had worked. Another cleansing of the bucket. More disinfectant added and back in place near the computer chair.
The shakes had tryingly returned, and so much time was lost, with errors being made and having to be corrected. I bet I’ve missed no-end of them. Oy Vey!
A few more UWTWWs were taken, and the bucket is now about just over half-way filled, so I once again sterilised and freshened it, took the EGPWWB back to the computer chair.
Finally, at last, around lunchtime, I got around to starting today’s blog going. The shakes were still flamboyant in the fingers and hands, but as I was sitting most of the time, apart from the occasional visit to the Emergency Grey Plastic Wee-Wee Bucket, this was to be anticipated.
I did so far and then went on CorelDraw to create some funny political graphics and a couple of Inchcock Thoughts funnies for the drafts.
Got the fodder on. Black bean sauce with chicken pieces, tomatoes, spirit vinegar, and mushroom slices. Ate it all this time. (Not all the milk-bread of course).
Got the washing-up done
I got in the second-hand rickety recliner, and pulled the bobble hat down over my eyes, convinced I would surely be able to nod off this time, I felt so weary mentally.
An hour or so later, I nodded off. And had a repeat dream, I think. The night before, I dreamed of working at Scan Security and being sent to Netherfield in a hurry.
So I got up, had a UWTWW, and got on the computer to update this diary.
Then, a summoning to the Porcelain Throne arrived. Crikey it was a hard, solid, and most painful, longest evacuation I’ve suffered for ages! I took an extra Senna when I eventually got myself sorted out. Still, there was no bleeding, surprisingly.
Worra lonely, frustrating and nervewracking day! Humph!
TTFN, taketh care all.
Another week and a day before nail cutters show up? Is nail cutting that much in demand? Maybe you need an auto shut for your faucets. It looks like dinner went down well.
Ayup, Tim.
Got to go on a 40 bus, to St Anns Well Road, join the queue drop-in place, to get the feet done. To the St Anns Valley Medical Centre, next Monday. Tsk! Caroline tried many places for me, but they all either couldn’t do me, or there was a two-week wait. Beats me? I tried a Chiropodist in town, that are expensive, but they have closed down. Josie says it is something to do with illegal workers?
Come think of it, when I used them before they shot the price up, all the ladies were Eastern European sounding.
I could look into that with the taps, Tim. Find out what they cost first. Going to have to find the cash to pay for the carers soon, in a week or two. Oh, dearie me!
The appetite was good yesterday.
Shame about the kip… or, lack of it!
Cheers.
Maybe the eastern block women started a toenail union, which made the prices go up. And then disgruntled customers not wanting to pay the price turned them in.
Hehe! What a title for a film, or song – ‘The Toenail Union’ It enthuses mystery and mystique! Hehehe!
Caroline and then off to the Dentist today.
TTFNski.
BTW You inspired me and I made a giant cheesy spud with green chile on it, and gave part of it to Laurie.
She loved it, and predicted more cheesy spuds in the near future. Part of the prediction come from the fact that I bought 15 pounds (1.07 stones or 6.8 kilos) of giant spuds for $6.00 at Costco this afternoon.
Good for you, mate. I’m using the yellow peppers in my Black Bean feasts, as you dais, not so strong, I can cope with them.
The girls in America and Australia use my recipe for their cheesy potatoes now. Makes me go into Swank Mode. Hehehe!
TTFN Sir.
