I considered this morning, it was time I abstained…
From life, hard enough, is making me addlebrained,
I grow more physically & mentally, totally drained,
With so many problems that can’t be solved,
Old ones, new ones get me so aggravated,
Computer mysteries, CorelDraw, nothing gets alleviated,
Blue screen, my hard drive memory terminated…
Imminent failure, it can’t be ameliorated,
Think my bank account might be being pilfered,

Plans, hopes abandoned and or distorted,
Is my sanity being manipulated…
I am so very depressed and frustrated…

Promised help is never allocated,
I’ve never been so beleaguered!
I’ve never been so bumfuzzled, flustered,
I’m full of anguish, melancholy and misery, 
Pathetically self-pitying, life now has me shtupped,  
I used to be a social dizzard…
It’s been donkeys years since I last Kvelled,
I think it must have been while being lactated,
My brain was sharp and uninhabited,
Now I find it’s got dementia, & been watered,
At the clinic on the 22nd, I might get Trephinated,
I always seem worried, fretting or wherreted,
Whatever my fate, it’ll just have to be accepted.

I fear the worst shortly. Sod all is getting done in my efforts to get help. The appointments and lifts for them keep changing, despite Ejaz doing his best to sort and arrange them for me. 
Into the valley of life, the idiot limped.

Colourful this morning.

Early morning view.

Problem after problem with the computer again.
Google changed things and confused me.
Grammarly stopped working.
Hearing aids packed up again!

I tried to get Grammarly to work again. Clicked on the use Google option – and got a screen…
Huh!
Went back and pressed the other options.
Nope!
Turned everything off and restarted.
Then tried again…
Lost now.

Two hours of further failures.

Then the .
It was a District Nurse to examine the leather-skinned leg and ankle skins.
She found that the lesions were bleeding when she took off the right leg’s bandage. Deciding to put on two different ankle and leg straps on both legs.
Asking if the Carer can take them off every morning, when you need to have a shower or wash your feet in a bowl. He can put them back on at his next call. My first thought was that with winter coming, I’m going to have a few cold periods without socks or straps on. She left a guidebook on how to put the ankle and straps on and take them off.
Cover
Left/right thigh instructions
Left & right toe & foot

Arm & wrist
Care instruction details.
Leg, Ankle & Foot.
All fitted.

Ejaz spent too much time trying to sort out a lift for the Neurology visit for me. Bless him.
It took us hours, and we got refused in the end.

Then he tried the Doctors to find out about the flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, t see if they were still coming to me for it. They aren’t!
After all his efforts, we still can’t sort it out.

Going to sort something to eat now.
Potato nuggets, sausage, garden peas, Milk Roll bread, and a Lemon & Lime yoghourt.

  1. Even if you accept fate, Gerry, you can still do your best to improve things. Those care instructions are strategic. I sure hope things get better for you. 💖🙏

  2. I guess that’s another side to this, worry shouldn’t be swept under the carpet, but when one has social contact it helps alleviate some of it. Accept but not surrender ❤️

    • That’s very true, Paul. This morning, I was so down, things got on top of me. I’ve lifted a little however. Thanks. 👍🏻

  3. Well hells bells my darling that really bites! It’s so infuriating how hard it is to get help. I do have an idea. With all thst is going on you should get admitted and wait for all the tests and procedures to be done on site! You are having enough symptoms to get admitted! Are you up for that?

    • Thanks, HRH Petal-Dove.
      The hospital are like mad-houses. A bed is scarcer than a Panda. 🐼
      If I could afford it, going private would help, but it would bankrupt me too.
      Currently waiting for transport to hospital, gal.
      Bless you! XXX💟
