The Carer picked him up and gave him a Ramipril after he fainted!

More seizures today.
eBay delivery for Thursday is still on the way, they say.
The worst cartilage was Chloe by a long way.
I dropped the camera trying to take a selfie,
The urine in the pouch is looking bloody,
I struggle for words, speaking with inarticulacy,
Hard work doing my odeing wordsmithery,
Producing too much Whoopsiedangleploppery,
Wardens Dean and Julie saved the day…
They fitted the baby monitor for me today,
As recommended by lovely Jenny,
This was a rare moment of fortuity,
Now the intercom & fire alarms are heard by me!
HMG Enforcement Team, re a licence for my TV,
They threaten with a £1000 fine, you see…
I anticipate they’ll treat me frumpishly,
And not offer me any gigmanity,
Life is just an assortment of gallimaufry!
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
So far behind now, even later than yesterday.
It’ll have to be a quickie. I’ll not skip over the help I gave, though. That was appreciated so much.
Night pouch.
A bit of rain overnight.
Bless him!
The petrichor smell is beautiful.
Fibre TV from Liberty-Global Owned Virgin Media, is crap. Nothing new, I know. But checking on the note to see just which internet servers they own or have investment in reveals;

eBay informed me that the order is being delivered by last Thursday. The tracker point has not moved since Tuesday. They sent me an Email to give my response to the product and rate it. I replied simply, Camera Not Arrived Yet.

The lost listings on the computer have returned, but they are scattered about in different files, and I’m lost now where anything is. Thank You, MS.

There were a few today, but worse than these were the Mind-Blanks and Seizures. There were so many of them, all short-term. I had one when Carer Maryham was here again, but I was not aware until she told me.

Then, when the new child monitors were delivered, please make a note of that, eBay aficionados. DELIVERED at the time specified, not leaving me still waiting in vain hope and unaware of when or if they will even get here at all! Grumph!

I struggle to read the instructions, even with the new glasses on my head. And Peripheral Neuropathy Pete was not letting me grip the parts I had to open. I rang , to tell her about the arrival, and she and Desk-Top Dancing Warden Julie. came up to see me. That was so nice of them. ♥
The two of them soon got the thing working for me. ♥
They did it in no time. Julie put the sender part on the top of the intercom box when they realised I was having difficulty hearing the intercom ring, as well as the fire alarms and the door chime. Deana even tested the intercom when they went to see if I could hear it from the computer. It was just Grreat!

Late shots were taken over an hour or so.

I prepped and served up the meal.
Carers Christopher and Trainee Promise
arrived as I was getting the plate on the tray. Apart from , I enjoyed it, but I had to eat it carefully. Haha!

From after they had gone, and including their raiding the nibbles on their next call, the next thing I recall is being in bed, getting electrocuted regularly by .

    It’s nice you still have the audacity to be Inchie—gorgeous late-evening shots. Fine looking, low scoring meal.

      Goodness gracious, How Audacious! Can’t recall where that came from Tim. A song? A film?
      The poor teggies need seeing to badly, but I can’t find a dentist taking on new patients, Tim. apparently the UK has a shortfall of them. A lady up above has the same problem. Tsk! I got some toothache spray via Amazon, then bought some more just in case. Doesn’t kill but does dull the pain a bit.
      Cheers, Mon Ami.

        That’s a pain. Both literally and figuratively. No emergency dentists around?

        Not one to be found, Tim. Well the Carer tried several but none were available. National shortage of NHS dentist, a serious matter for the Prime Minister to ignore, he’s busy stopping the annual pensioners Heating support, and increasing taxes.
        Last night’s tumble took my mind off of it for a while. (Looking on the bright side).

        Maybe you need to find a dentist on the black market. There are probably a few mafioso types that are good at extracting teeth.

  2. A license necessary for a TV, and a £1000 fine for not having it? 😒 Your ode jabbed my heart and mind.

      Yes, it’s a weird situation over here. So many things with VAT added to the prices. The Labour party has only been in charge a few weeks, and the over 78’s Winter Heating Payment has been stopped. And rates limits for getting help have already been increased. But anyone over 65 can and on benefits still get it. Jealous? Me? Yes! Hehehe!
      I think the toothache brought up the tale. We are short, very short of NHS dentists. I got a Carer to ring about for me to get on their lists, but no takers. Carer Kara, or Maryham I thinnak it was rang a Private dentist to ask how much it would cost me to have the remaining teeth out and dentures made, I haven’t gott hat much in the bank. Suffer little children they say, well I suffered and am still at it. Hehe!
      It’s humour that helps us to get through methinks, Sir.
      Hope you are coping. Cheers!

        Bless you, Sir.
        I had a tumble last night. Thankfully only down on one knee, and not the one with the catheter on it. That could have been messy. Hehe!
        No carer called yet this morning. 09:30hrs, it throws out the painkillers tat can’t be given to me for 4 hours, now the toothache is bothering me… Needs must, I put an over the counter soluble painkiller in the spring water bottle. The flipping thing fizzed up and out of the top, all over my gown, legs and on the carpet! Serves me right. Har-har!
        Keep safe, please.

    I like that cartoon too 🙂 Freud and Jung said a lot about our dreams and death, they seem to increase as we age, which seems logical. When we’re young we dream of conquering the world. Ah, that takes me back – Billy Bunter, my oh my. My Godparents from Alfreton sent me one for xmas, and then I had a shelf of them, such good fun.

      I can’t imagine them making books like this nowadays. The PC brigade would complain? Jolly Japes is something the kids miss out on, and would not understand anyway? Glad to trigger your memory, Sir.
      I wonder if there is a free dream reader site on the web? Then again, perhaps not such a good idea. Hehehe!
      An instant down on one knee tumble last night. Carer Chris took a photo of where I hit my against something on my way down. It’s only a tiny bruise, but may get some sympathy. Har-har!
      Cheers, Paul.

        There were a lot of books back then that wouldn’t get muster now, Biggles comes to mind and the Phantom, what an era. I haven’t seen any free ones of substance (unless you want a whole lot of other malarky as well 😉 Sorry to hear you fell – hope there was some sympathy after all 😉

        Thanks, Paul. I read the other day that Red Dwarf has been banned in, oh where was it, Holland to Belgium TV. Can’t believe that, one of my fav’s too. It’s comedic and science fiction, what? Tsk! It’ll be Dad’s Army next to be barred or band.
        Carers not interested at all. They had problems last weekend, had to get three of calls covered by people from homes nearby. Nice folks though who came.
        Hope things alright your end, Sir.
