♫ Oh, what a beautiful morning… ♫
Also, as well as, in spite of everything, howbeit, for all that, in spite of everything, the contents of the
I shall not desist from drinking the water and keep at it. I do think things might be improving Urine infection-wise, at long last. I must not be a
But, my EQ indicates that new worries may arise today.
By gum, a crystal clear early morning view was on offer when I went to check on the taps and cooker. All turned off.
Feeling better than for ages. The
Then got a phone call from the Doctor’s surgery. Hard to hear what he was saying; I think I was booked in for the Medications Consultation. The man said It would really help if you could bring a carer along with you, as they are dealing with the medications and can answer questions. I mentioned this to a carer, but don’t know if anything can be arranged or what it will cost. But not to fret; I can go on my own; after getting a list of medications from Carer Richard, I think he has a list in the Meridian folder. I just hope I heard things right about times, dates, etc. But I feel I did okay.
Herbert gave me a few mechanical concertos.
A Carer kindly gave me a few minutes to help with trying to sort out the new bank card, and I got through to Easy link. Arranged a lift for next Thursday, pick-up 08:30hrs, appointment at 90:00hrs.
Tried to get my head around the banking problem, but all the writing on the paperwork and on the card itself was far too small. Try reading with the spyglass, and by the time I got halfway across the page, I’d lost myself. Which sounds a smidge appealing at this moment. Haha!
Such a slow going.
The time passed like lightning.
Yet when all is said and done, somehow, I was still more content than I had been in a while, now.
Getting through to Easy-Link for once was an achievement. I just hope I heard everything properly.
I should be feeling sorry for myself now – Cataract making seeing even worse than last week, the waxed-up ear-holes, and the (although they are far less frequent today)
I’ll finish of so far quickly, then get summat to eat.
Missed photographs
I shan’t bother trying again.

Spotted it in time to avoid an
Had a little chinwag. I explained about the appointment at the doctor with the Medications Monitor man at Sherrington Park Medical Practice appointment for Thursday, 2nd February at 09:00hrs; I hope I heard everything he said clearly. He was patient with me when I kept asking him to clarify things for me. And I actually got through to Easy-Link, eventually, and booked a lift there and back!
For once, getting to sleep was a problem, whereas usually, it is staying asleep that bothers me. The
Guess what went out of date? My Marmite!
Can’t read the dates, cataracts, bad eyesight,
I seem to see better in the dark than in daylight?
I’m waffling; I’m a right blatherskite!
Good Night!
Gad! Reading about your vicissitudes with the catheter pouches makes me almost happy I have end term kidney failure and have kidneys that barely produce occasional urine! My circumstances are much easier to deal with and much less messy.
Haha! Glad it cheered you a smidge, Doug, mate.
Pouches, tubing, changing the night bag night and morning, clips, openers, closers, leaks, broken clasps, straps that cause lesions… it’s worse then even I expected, Doug. Hehehe!
Still, on the bright side… erm… many are worse off than me.
It’s the Mystery Kidney area pains that bother me now. They seem to be coming on in the morning, stabbing away when I move, bend, lift anything, even a bottle of milk, press on the walking stick, or stretch. They usually (I hope) lessen in frequency mid-morning, then kick-off again at night?
Anyone in the UK will struggle to see their Doctors or get medical help, the nurses strike is making it worse, but I so support them. I’ve got an appointment face to face booked – for the 2nd February. Hah!
Extra painkillers being taken to cope until then, but I don’t like taking extra medications, but needs must.
I think the effects of them are affecting Dementia Doreen, cause I’m making errors and forgetting things much more this passed week.
Carer Richard set up me air-fryer today for me. He showed me how to use it, but I wrote itall down to be on the safe side. This was about an hour ago… but can I find the notepad I wrote it on? No!
Cheers, Sir, from you worried cyber-mate on the little island.
Hahaha!
I can’t imagine a nurses’ strike. I almost seems a violation of some code of ethics. There’s one in New York now, too. Best wishes for an answer on the kidney pains. Those can be intense and debilitating, I know.
Cheers, mate.
The Mystery pains are stabbing away as I type this, Doug.
New catheter fitted this morning.
Lrgt the tap (faucet) running, not hot water now. Tsk! Hehe!
Not hot? Well, that’s an improvement, eh?!
Another cock-up there from me Doug. IT should have been ‘no’ hot water… Tsk!
New catheter bag fitted today. An even smaller pouch this time. better not gotget to check it… nervous here… Hahaha!
Oops! Been there myself.
I blame Dastardy Dementia Doreen, mate. Hehehe!
Cheers cocker.
Not only do yo need a carer full-time, you need a caller. Hard to call yourself when you can’t hear the buggers on the other end of the line. Great pics decent looking meal.
It smszed… or even, amazes me, that people don’t ralise the problems with my hearing and vision Cataract and glaucoma.
The odd care will read my letters to me, bless them, but they’ve been told not to make phone calls for me. That’s my responsibility. Fingers crossed I’ve got the details right about the doctors appointment and the lift arranged, right.
♫ Fings ain’t wot they used to be ♫ Haha!

Wowsers, I won the Iron Man Competition. That’s good because I already need Iron supplements. This can only make me healthier, I might need to add a few calories into my diet…and exercise more for the next competition.
Your blood-pressure readings continue to improve, me thinks it’s from your improved dietary choices. Yes, I do. Grrrreat stuff, Sir!
That catheter is certainly doing a great job in collecting fluids. But I think you’ll be glad to say good-bye to having it hanging along your leg.
Lisa and I were out and about two days in a row now. A visit from Sweet Morpheus is certainly in order.
Just heard from my nephew, Wes, in Berlin. Both he and his wife Sara have contracted Covid and are finding it difficult to even “try” to get some sleep. Alan keeps us supplied with good quality masks. Wes and Sara are now over the worst of it, but they remind us of just how SERIOUS that virus is. I wear an N95 when out and about. And we are both current with the most-recent vaccines. Gad.
By the way, you are looking much better, photomagraphically.
Cheers!
Hi, Billum.
Love the iron suppliments link. Haha!
Right on the catheter as well Sir. Night bag attaching, taking off in the morning, disposing of, day bag, clipsbreaking, tubing and clasps, itching, lesions from the grippers… yes, I hope it isn’t going to be a permanent arrangement, mate.
Sweet Morpheus is much in demand lately.
Covid id increasing again over here, but the proletariats are more concerned with the cost of living increases and not being able to see their doctors. It’s all going to pot in this little island, and yet thousands of immigrants legal and not, are flooding in every week… just shows you how things must be in Poland, Lituania, Bugaria etc.
New strains of Covid have been found.
I’m glad to hear that Wes and Sara are now over the worst.
I was thinking of applying for a modelling job for Senior Citizens… Hehehe!
Herbert is clattering away again as I type. Swine! Asozial-Penner!
Gawd he’s giving it some!
This calls for a brew of of Glengettie.
TTFNski, and Sontar-Ha!
