The day started very well today, no argument.
Which would later turn annoyingly abdicant,
Then it lost its amicability, no longer accordant,
The phone chirped, & starting my addlement,
A Doctor rang, the clarity went into fragmentation
He babbled on about ailments, abstinent…
Heart failure, seizures, changing my medications,
We lost the signal often, as he changed subjects,
I tried to keep calm and be acquiescent,
I was soon left feeling frustrated, ambivalent,
But the line repeatedly failed, went absent,
Facts and figures were forced to be abscondent,
It was impossible to be attentive or vigilant,
The whole conversation was claudicant,
And so often the connection went absent…
Twelve times the line went conticent,
I lost track of his words; they were incoherent,
What he spoke, said, was like a verbal circumfluent,
Now facts or instructions were ensuant…
Some things I heard will have to be considered,
Warfarin INR too low, doses to be attuned,
Heart failure, earlier meeting with Dr Hearn,
To go back to check the knee bones broken,
Stronger medication for cholesterol, Inclisiran,
A ton of other stuff that I’ve forgotten!

Carer Ejaz phoned the Dentist, got an appointment sorted
for Wednesday, and night Cathter bags were ordered,
Of the leaking leg, the District Nurses were informed,
A nurse will be calling, we were told & apprised,
Confusion Konrad was well exercised,
Ejaz alleviated my fears & I’m not concerned!,

Medical activations today, Tuesday & Wednesday.
Nurses to tend to the worsening Lymphorrhea to be bandaged & medicated on Monday, Tuesday, and  Wednesday. Possible longer.

Then the same for the Catheter Contraption to be changed on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Emergency Dentist, Wednesday.

COVID-19 & Flu jabs, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Cardiac tests, Wednesday or Thursday.

Neuropathy confirmation awaited. Currently set for November 6th.

Optician time to be found and fitted in.

Diabetes team visit – scheduled for one day this week, and one next week. No dates yet.

Medication assessment, Gawd knows when.
Changes to be assessed. Atorvastatin is to be replaced with an injectable medication. Called, I believe, Inklisiron. All other medications currently being used are to be reassessed.

So, it’s a busy day today, and a few more are to come.
I may not be able to complete any blogs for a day or two… or three. Sorry.

Today was a struggle time-wise, with the nurse doing the legwork, planning the catheter replacement, and Carer Ejaz supporting me to cope with it all. He contacted the Dentist, tried to contact the Doctor, and the Audio centre for me, a good lad.

Just photos today, as I’m up to my neck in medical problems and will be for a while.

Morning view

Mystery morning photo?

Got on the computer eventually

Nocturnal pouch left on too long

Health Checks are both high.

Carer Ejaz busy today, helping me out

The call from the Doctors’ disaster cost me over an hour, with the line cutting out. I ended up more baffled than if they hadn’t called.

The bed was very welcome
