Got advice: any new chest, arm, or back pain, I’m to ring again. But look at the results. As for any new pains, how can I tell with having so many?
Hehehe!

I always knew that life had a temporality,
I had a liking for rhyming wordsmithery,
Although sadly lacking educationally,
I wrote some decent stuff; only occasionally,
I got paid for a story, in 1953…
Got got rewarded with 7¾p, that was 1/3d
Boy’s Own Magazine sent a postal order to me,
I’ve not been penniless, & not been wealthy,
I’ve never acted yobbishly or done a robbery,
Had very little sex, but it was all yummy!
Luck? Me? More chance of finding a Yeti,
Had various motorbikes, but none above 250cc,
I tell a fib… I did have a Royal Enfield Fury,
Accident first trip, broke my elbow & knee…
Went back to bikes of up to 250cc,
I voted Labour, but acted & lived conservatively,
Life was still good when I was about forty,
Played badminton & squash twice weekly,
Then my health faded fast, became a liability,
Duodenal ulcer, then a new aorta for Inchie,
Made redundant, at very nearly sixty,
The only job I could get was in security,
With a guarding company, called Sawley,
And I was soon finding the job so sorely…
Got shot, found to be superfluous, unnecessary,
Redundant again, then arteriopathy, 
Prostate cancer & Peripheral Neuropathy,
Cataract, glaucoma, severe tooth decay,  
Arthritis, now moved on to Osteoarthritis,
Had four hospital stays since February,
Heart failure, low blood oxygen, cardiomyopathy,
Falls and tumbles are the cause of three,
1) Cracked my head when I fell while making tea,
Exrayed, water on the brain – Whoopie!
Waiting for a procedure, trephinationally,
2) BP was high, hospitalised, systolic was 203,
Given more medications, just temporarily,
Not many days in hospital this time, just three,
3) Woke and rose from bed, far too swiftly,
The swirling started, & I went ultra dizzy…
Collapsed, landing on my arm and left knee,
Getting up was not an option, I tried painfully…
And got myself on my bottom, not easily,
And pressed my alarm button immediately,
The operator rang for an ambulance for me,
Carer Ejaz arrived, comfortingly,
I had a seizure. I could taste the after-acidity,
Two paramedics were suddenly beside me,
Doing various tests, and an ECG,
Then they took me away…,
To geriatric falls, compassion not arraign,
Then X-ray, then to osteopathy, still in pain,
Then to a ward, remembering the name in vain,
Final ward M25, then got moved again,
To a corridor to await the whatshisname,
Thingy, ambulance, a lift home, and still in pain,
3 fractures in my hand, very little pain…
Five in the left knee, they’ll all assain, 
And the water still in the brain,
Trephination decision next Thursday afternoon,
Hope that this Ode was not too arcane!

Not very well today —mega-confused; the dizziness never went away. Just one graphic photo of my daily meal. My sister Jane, Christine, and I think Jenny said the images on the blog weren’t displaying.
Depressed, going from one task to another, and getting nothing finished… No, that’s not true, sorry.

HIGH-LIGHTS The good stuff!
Carer Ejaz arranged the Neurology lifts for me —Bless Him. Going, it will be Easy-Link, coming back, I don’t know who, but it has been sorted by the ICC Carers office. One thing less to worry about.
Also, the paperwork for the appointment has not arrived yet, and I was panicking, especially after all the fuss and bother over the transport finally being sorted out.
I think I mentioned earlier that the meeting was next Tuesday. Well, I got it wrong, it’s on Thursday.

LOW-LIGHTS The not-so-good stuff!
I’m going to try not to mention these (No guarantee, of course), but I can assure you, there were plenty of them. I’m sick of reporting failures, errors, mistakes, calamities, and Depression Darius encouraging incidents. So, I won’t do any more.
I had several short but welcome visits from my beloved, if confusing . But much more from
Jenny contacted me via email. She complains when I treat Frank and her to treats they like during a Special offer. In her email, she put this graphic, telling me she’s told me not to. Hehehe!
She has a lovely sense of humour. I wish they could do something about the pain she is in whenever she has to walk. She copes so well with it. An Angel. 💖

I let the hot w… no, no!
