Exam results in school, most at the bottom of the list,
In English, I came out top; I tried to be an odeist,
Wrote short stories, subjects ranging from history to a ghost,
By goodbyes were usually Tara, so I’m no linguist,
I often got beat up, they used sticks, boots & fists,
To survive, I had to use guile and feignest,
I didn’t realise it then, but I was a hippophagist,
I didn’t know the name then, but I was an immanentist,
Which made me brave when I went to the dentist,
Over four years, it was my only visit,
Dad pulled my teeth, using his pliers…
Each time, the pain was beyond bounteousness,
If I cried, Dad would get all blasphemous,
He sent me to the gym, amidst the bodybuilders,
Said I should be more sporty, less academical,
I’ve to learn how to box, be pugalistical,
Even then, I found that ironically comical,
The Sportsmaster trained 9-stone Nathaniel,
4-stone soaking wet me? The caretaker, Nigel,
In the first round, I was virtually unhittable!
Mind you, I never managed to hit Nathaniel,
In the second round, punches were exchangeable,
The third round started. Oh, hell!
He caught me with five, and I hit him once; it was painful!
I woke up in the shower,
His punch had too much power…
So shamed, I went home to cower…
The coppers were searching for Mother…
My losing the match didn’t seem to matter…

The plaster on the leg has just been replaced for the fifth time, and I can’t find any more plasters.
I’ll start with the photos I snapped after getting up and nearly falling out of the flipping bed.
Carer Ejaz titivated it a bit later.
I received a phone call on the landline. The Neurology Surgeon’s assistant apologised for not calling yesterday. I also received a text message. She will be phoning on Monday and will email the questionnaire for me to fill in. Or was this yesterday? I sense I’ve written this before.
This Premorbid Cognitive Impairment that they have rediagnosed for me is worse than what they said before, Dementia Doreen was. I swear!
As for next week’s events;
I’m a smidge nervous for next week.
Poor silly-old-sausage!
I’ve just ordered some sausages to arrive next week… Guess what day the cheaper delivery day is? Yes, Wednesday evening!
I hope that I can get the blog done, but anticipate that I’ll have to give up for a few days. I’ll never catch up again, anyway.
Worra Life!
Still, I must not complain; many are worse off than I am, who have things more severe than I do.
I apologise for moaning. Bless you all.
Oh, by the way, I had a repeat of the below four times this Saturday.
I’m still hoping…
Lots of unexpected, no-warning
blasts from the rear-end. Hehehe!
the SD card. It might be a badly
taken shot of the bed. But why?
Carer Aheo did the second short call.
Carer Mizra called for the third medication. The lad put a new plaster on the leg injury. He also found the medical tape and wrapped some around the plaster. Thanks, Mirza!
I’m off to make a meal now.
Try to get it eaten before the Carer arrives.
It might be Carer Ejaz.
More to follow… Not a lot…
I like all those dots that fill in for a TTFNski, Sir. And there is that famous red car parked in a no-parking zone? And the mud puddle, of course.
Wishing you much luck with those appointments next week!
I’m not in good nick, Billum. But better off than so many.
That danged red car! Hehehe! Hope things worketh out mate. Three medics who I thought were coming today… didn’t. Pound to a penny I got the date wrong.
Thanks again, Sir.
It’s good that you deal with matters the best you can, Gerry, and that you have carers helping you.
The cost is draining the bank balance, Tim. But without them, it would be a nursing home. Having spent a month or two in one after the stoke… I want to avoid it if possible, Tim.
Thanks, mate. 🙏🏻🌺
Carer Ejaz and Mizra both helped me get the sound, or I mean tune on the cell louder.
Cheers, Tim,
Not so good tonight, but not complaining, just saying. Haha! ❤🤞🏻🙏🏻
