I launched myself off of the recliner, caught by dodgy balance, grabbed the stick, and made my way to the kitchenette. Slowly and carefully, I might add. For my EQ had warned me to, that was good enough for me!
Washed the dandies, got the kettle on, and took the morning medications.
I started to update the Wednesday blog, and this took me ages! Concentration was lacking this morning, mistakes with the help and without the help of Shuiddering-
It was a little early, but with my going without a shower for two mornings now, I just had to have one. And before the time for the nurse to arrive.
Very few dropsies this session in the wet room, I reckon about six. A dizzy in the shower, and a couple of cuts shaving. Toothache Thomas was bad. Overall though, a decent result.
I spent some time catching up on the WordPress Comments. Then went onto Facebooking. The nurse is due about now (09:30hrs). She told me she’d be here on twixt 08:00 & 10:00hrs. Well, it’s 10:50hrs now, no nurse yet.
The phlebotomy nurse arrived fifteen minutes later. She was with me for about five minutes. Obviously, the gal was in a rush. But kept pleasantness about her. And had to press-on, with her being all behind on her roster. Thank you, M’am.
I got an update on Nottingham’s Coronavirus status. It was not good!
I made some graphics up on CorelDraw. I was checking on the nosh in between.
Nosh prepping, got spuds in oven.
Thanked the chap and slipped him a can of G&T. I’m glad I got these now, what with a possibility, nay, expectancy, of a Coronovavirus re-lockdown in Nottingham.
Back to the food, and finished off the rest of the meal. A flavour rating of 8/10 for this one. I got the pots and pans washed up, and found something on TV, erm…Law & Order it was, with subtitles to watch without the use of the headphones. There was a chance of the Hoisin Sauce being delivered, so I had the task of staying awake until it arrived.
Plastic bottles this time, which suited old fumble-fingers here down to the ground! Sorting out the bottles, well, I stuck them in the corner. Then I noticed last nights used Enoxaparin needle. I’ll get it in the yellow Contaminated Sharps box, and went in the front (junk) room, and promptly fell asleep again.
The landline lit up and flashed, “Aha, I said to myself” (well I was the only person present, Hehe!) that will be the Anticoagulation, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Warfarin clinic with the
Julie, who explained the INR, was still too low, at 1.8, (3.5 targetted) and I must keep on with injecting two Enoxaparins a day until Monday night. The Warfarin Doses are to be:
Tonight x3, Fri x3, Sat & Sun 2½ tablets. And the next blood test will be on Monday. I thanked her muchly, then set about the self-inoculating procedures.
All done, I realised I’d not had a chance to ask the nurse about the Sharps Bin getting full. Humph! Well, she was very busy and in a rush.
I filled in the record log with what I’d done and took the evening medications.
I hadn’t noticed before, but on the cover of the log folder, were contact names and telephone numbers. I’ll get these in the Diary just in case I ever need them. Not that I can hear what they are
So, why am I rambling on? There is an answer to that question. But it will most-likely involve words like; senescence, senility, senectitude, Ethonomia, septuagenarian and bonkersness. So, it’s best, perhaps if I do not try to find it!
The circle in the top photo shows roughly the zoomed-in area, I took the second snap of, below. But in this rain! I take it they were both pluviophiles. They must have been soaked to the skin. Yet I wish I could have been out there with them! I was quite pleased with the Nokia pictures, considering the weather.
Hours beyond my head-down time now. I fear not getting up in time for my Iceland delivery in the morning.
Hey-Ho!
I posted “A Day In The Life Of Inchcock”. I snitched a few photos of your site that I included in the video. I gave you credit in the credits. You are looking quite black and blue. If you have to keep this up, you will be able to join Black Lives Matter. You got a case of Hoisin sauce? Should last you a little while. At least you got a quickie bit of social intercourse with the vampire. Great looking meal.
Thanks for posting it again. I really enjoyed it, and the ‘new’ pictures in it.
Not very good at this moment. As I said in a reply to Billum. Enoxaparin overdose I think. Haha!
Taketh best care, Sir.
You have to be careful with all those drugs.
Wait till you see Sundays blog, Sir.
Artisticness in needlework – Pete told me it was. Hahaha!
Cheers.
Sounds like material for the Tate in the making.
I agree! But no, they ignore me again. Tsk!
I came from Tim’s blog, where I was treated to a day in the Life of Inchcock! I love a good laugh…. with great pics!
Thanking you for calling, Resa.
Insanity, loss memory, Whoopsidangleplops and Accifauxpa come naturally to me.
All a part of failed life, and ailment control.
Hahaha!
Taketh care, ta!
You taketh care, too!
I shalt doeth my bestest, Resa.
Thanks, and good luck and health to you! ♥

My favorite pluvio memory occurred about 60-years ago. I was standing on a road near the house and saw a wall of rain coming about 30 mph towards me, it was like watching a mobile waterfall around 70 feet away — the road surface was completely dry along that entire 70-foot length. I stood still as the waterfall approached. Got quite the soaking, I can assure yer. 🙂
A tale worth telling too, Billuim. Thanking you.
