Today’s Ode from Inchie
Sorry about this…
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
The days started painfully – I needn’t have said that, had I? Hehehe!
The darned Lumix Camera was still not letting me take any photos!
Although, in the afternoon on what must have been close to the 12th.
try-to-get-the-bloody-thing-going; When I received some
official-looking brown envelopes mail, it did.
But it wasn’t bad news!
&
were with me on awakening… I’d be lost without their little morning greetings.

The day of memory loss, disappointments, getting little done,
,
(Particularly her!), a few confusions of attacks via
and a few bursts of feeling
for no particular reason whatsoever. As per usual,
made what should have been a better day worse.
The Lumix playing up ruined any idea of a decent day’s photography.
Yet apart from the odd depressions, which didn’t last long, but there were a good few of them, I seemed to press on regardless.
Arrived during one of my ‘up’ periods. Not that I can recall much. And why not? I’ve literally lost the notepad I’d been using for over half of the day. Likely thrown out later when I got the shock of the letters arriving. I reckon we had a natter and a laugh. I think he reminded me to ring Easy-Link to confirm the lift was arranged for Thursday’s visit to the Coppice Hospital… but that could have been yesterday.
Carers (I think) Sam called. Then Carer Charly. She took some photos of the Sunset. I tried the Lumix again, and it let me take one shot!!!
I may have worn it out last night in taking so many shots of it?
Hahaha!
The thicker envelope delivered was opened first.
Aha! An appointment for the first Brain CT scan had arrived. It’s for Friday, 24th February… I’ll just recheck; hang on… Yep, it’s for 2023.
Luckily, Carer Sam, I think it was who collected the mail on her way in, read it for me.
The print was a little small, and Cataract Katie is getting worse every day.
The picture of the CT machine,, was just like the one the QMC A&E took a scan of my bladders last month; it was just the circle bit…. or was it the month before?
I remember falling over in there, trying to get my leg up and over, so they could get to the bladder.
The map of where to go was even smaller in scale.
A long list of things that need ‘Special Attention’, included Diabetes and Neurological Conditions. Of which, I have.
I must remember to ask Richard if he can make a list of anything changed in my ways to take with me to the nurse at the Coppice Mental Hospital on Thursday.
I keep forgetting to ask him. Or have I asked him yet?
Worra-life!
I managed to get through the Easy-Link people and got the lady with the voice that suited my ear-holes. Checked and confirmed that I had booked a lift for Thursday at the Coppice and then made one for the 24th for the Brain Scan.
The other letter was telling me I had failed to attend the Doctor’s to have an INR Blood Test and had to do so urgently. I must contact the Doctor to book an appointment immediately. Well, being as they have been coming to my flat to take it for two years now, I assumed they were going to continue to! Also, as well as, besides that, No one told me anything? Does the nurse’s striking have any effect on this scenario?
Now, if I snuff it via a blood clot or stroke, heart attack, or bleeding to death… according to the unknown because it’s not been taken level of INR is too high or low – if anyone reading this can investigate for me, please.
Naturally, you may not find out cause I’ll be dead, won’t I? I’ll be busy at St Peter’s Gate logging into whichever department they send me to. I’m hoping St. Peter doesn’t want to send me back to try again? That would be horrendous… one lifetime of misery is enough for anyone. I shall refuse to go back, and if he doesn’t like it… well… I’ll sulk! Hehehe!
Better get some nosh sorted out, then.
Which I did – no photo, of course; the Fuji needs new batteries. Tsk!
Too tired, to continue.
Evening all!
It looks like a real brain strain trying to figure out the brain scan info. Nice sunset photo. I hope the nosh with no food photo was good?
Nice one Tim, cheers.
Hahaha!
I tried reading it with the Sherlock Holmesian magnifying glass. But, not good, it was such small writing, byt the time I got to the next paragraph, I’d forgotten what I’d read.
The Cataract one has 14 pages of ‘Essential things to know and you must do!’ Even Richard shied away from reading them all. Harh-Har!
When… if, the appointment comes through I’ll have to get help to note things I need to rememeber. I can recall some that Kara read for me. Got to take a large towel and a change of clothes and shoes! Apparently, they will be pouring or spraying water on both eyes for fourty-minutes. That’s all I recall. The other four lealets willl need attention later.
Having some German sausage tonight, Tim – that’s the plan.
Oh, when I did a reluctant search on Amazon for pork knuckle, the sent an email today, advising they sell cans of baked beans and pork knuckle, 300g I think… for… here it comes… £4.99 in special offer. WOT? That’ll be about four ounced of pork methinks in it. I declined.
I do a lot of that nowadays.
Cheers… another thing, I got in to comment on one of your and Bills blogs… but itwas bacl to sign in with the right account time again after that. Priceless Word~press. Haha!
