I realise I’ve got many a fault & problem…
I even understand some of them.
My brain? Unkown voices & crepitation,
Telling me to go on a one-man demonstration,
Mind -rot seems to have accumulated,
No correlation, consultation, or construction
Diagnose them at the culmination,
But what gives me this conception,
I’ve broken my best picker-upperer,
My mindset forever changes,
I wanted to be an agriculturist,
To plant, grow and sell agrics,
This morning I took a few knocks,
Nimra took off my strapping & sock,
She said it’s bleeding, but not a lot,
Adding, no, it was Lymphoedema,
Fluid leaks from your weeping oedema,
She’ll phone later to inform the nurses,
Which I thought would be auspicious,
I can give them their pressies for Christmas!

Up at 04:10hrs! I am a fool!
I was again disoriented, and thought I could taste the acidicness in the throat; I might have had a nocturnal seizure, but I could not be absolutely sure. So I recorded a question mark on the NHS Health Check graph. After taking off the night pouch, and when I stood up, went to work on me. He stayed for the duration of the hour-and-a-half-long ablution session. During which, both knees kicked off – Why? I’ll tell you. Hehe! gave way, and I clouted both knees as I went down to grab the sink to prevent a whole tumble. (I’m getting wise to these knee collapses now!) – . But was not happy, and as I was straightening up, I caught my
ankle against the edge of the bowl. Naturally, my  .

I went to the kitchen after abluting, medicating,  perfuming and dressing. Got the kettle on and took this shot through the kitchen window of the rain. Took me a while to work out what was what in this photo. The reflections with the flash showed more of what was behind me than of what was in front of me. Interesting detail. He says! Almost artistic, even if it was unintended. Haha!
Then I opened the window to try again. A close-up snap of the nearby houses, street lights, roads, and horison. The higher shot of the sky proved a bit less successful… but I’m used to not being successful. I’ve had Years of practice. Haha!

Computer on, and did the Health Checks, added them to the graph for Carer Nirma to check for me. Made a start on Tuesdays, updating, on and off from 07:00 to 22:00hrs! (Shattered, weary and tired out again, poor sausage, Hehe!).
And the intercom sounded. It was Carer Nirma. Up and into the flat she came, a smile on our greeting.
HC figures checked, two mistakes found. Tsk!
Nirma took thisshot of me, finally getting my first mug of tea of the day! Nirma took a good shot with Kodak Tim Two.
She then put on the undersocks and strappings back on my legs and feet. She put some foam on , as the tumble had scratched a bit, and I might get some lymphatic fluid leaking through the surface of the rough, alligator-skin-looking area. She said she’d check in again in the morning.

I handwashed a khagoule and the other pair of under-socks and hung them to dry in the wet room.

Then back to the computer, to find I was all over the place with it. Not that I remember with any clarity, but I feel as if I was going off-track, starting two or three things without getting any finished. I even did a bit of updating on the lost word replacement files. Until I became aware of what I was doing. By then, about four hours had floated by! It caught me off guard a bit. I can’t remember making an Asda order? I suppose I could blame ? Ejaz thinks I may have made it while in a seizure? I guess he’s right; he reminded me of the most prolonged seizure, as far as I know, that I’ve had. In August, I think. After I’d recuperated, I’d put the biggest load of verbal garbage in the blog, a right load of hogwash. I took a photo of it and showed it to the Warfarin DVT blood test nurse later, and it was an unreadable load of tommyrot – to quote her. Now there’s a thought; if I still use the computer while under the influence of a seizure, could I have made a food order and not known it? Just a thought.

The Asda order arrived!
This is something else I’m worried about. I don’t seem able to stop spending. The bank manager will be calling me soon, I’m sure.
Tomatoes, Lemon Fools, Sugar snap peas, Halal sausage, two gigantic Krakus Keilbasa (Smoked sausages), Pork Farms Pork Pie, Mini pork pies & pickle, tinned cheap Garden Peas, & sugar-snap peas. The bread I ordered (6 items) had 5 items unavailable. Humph! Did it bother me? Not in the slightest little iota, not a dot… 
I say suspected, but… Hehe!
The fridge was full. No butter butters, desserts, sugar-snap peas, Keilbasas, pork pies, etc. And treats for the nurses, cold coffees, nibbles, sweeties and choc bars. I do appreciate them coming. Later, Carer Ejaz checked the sell-by dates on everything in there. I can’t see them all. Two small items had to be thrown out. Again, I wasn’t bothered.

I put a potato in the cooker to warm up with my daily meal. Then returned to the computer to try again to concentrate on getting yesterday’s blog done!

After Ejaz’s evening call, I was all in. And closed everything down as the weariness fell to be joined by a seizure that I had no warning of coming.
I reckon it was of a decent length this time, because the acidity upsurge was less severe, but why it should be that way I can’t understand. Also, the disorientation after a mini-session is much worse than they are after the long ones.

I hadn’t closed the computer down, so I did. The dizziness and loss of balance are the same on a long or a short one. Weird or what?
And off to the kitchen to prepare my planned meal. But could I find the spud to put in the oven? No, not then. I searched around in the obvious places and silly-idea places… Then remembered. Tsk!

As it happens, I changed my mind about the tattie. I made a cold meal, plenty of it, and it made such a pleasant difference. I tucked into this one.
With a gastronomer’s vengeance. Har-har!
The last two wholemeal breadrolls, on which I lavished a load of no-butter butter.
What look like chips on the left of the tray are Marmite Cheese Puffs. A packet of pretend crab sticks, sugar-snap peas, & pork & pickle pork pies! It tasted Grrreat! A tub of lemon & lime yoghourt for dessert!

TTFNski, Have a great kip!
