I regret that in the afternoon I had a ‘dunny turn’ and had to stop for a few hours from anything. But, I bounded back & got some good news. A resident will bring me a Christmas dinner tomorrow. I’d forgotten about this as well. I felt cared for and humbled. Bless them! 🤎 This encouraged me to come out from the bad seizure after-effect so quickly, and High-Mood-Horis paid me a visit. Yahoo! But I’ve missed off a lot on this blog and only a few photos when I was laid up.

06:30hrs: Hello. I rose from the bed and tidied it up, a rarity indeed. Haha! I went off to the wetroom and evacuated a messy Trotsky Terence dollop of sticky mush. It took me many times longer to clean up after the visit.

Carer Ejaz arrived as I was putting the kettle on and, once again, did a good job. NHS prescription medications were issued. Peptac given.  Body check; creaming where needed. Then Porpain-Gelled . I’d be lost if Ejaz & Mizra stopped coming, treasures.

My beloved Nurse arrived to check on my wounds… No! Wound, she’s sorted the right leg’s outburst last week for me.
Just the left arm, treated. Cleaned up and replaced the plaster with a smaller one. Healing nicely. She noticed the Catheter bag looked a little weatherworn, with no fitting date written on it. I felt embarrassed, as she mentioned this last week and reminded me to ask a Carer to do it. But, (I tried to blame him, and she laughed), let me down.
The Nurse then changed and dated the new form for me. 

I did a bit of work on CorelDraw. I’m trying to put together three photographs, to the left, middle and right, that I took last night from the kitchen window, and link them together.
I was mildly pleased with this one.

I had a few-minute-long seizure, and did the usual exhaling to clear the acrid taste that comes up like reflux after having one. But the disorientation, dizziness, and confusion that usually fade after a couple of minutes just didn’t. I could not, nor did I want to do anything. I got into bed. I nodded off a few times, waking with a jump each time. I considered pressing the alert-panic button. But, I gave it a little longer… when I drifted off and stayed asleep for what I think felt like a good while. Waking up, the dizziness had vamoosed. Concentration was affected, but that is almost usual nowadays. I got this snap in the morning to add to this blog. Neighbour Walter called in, thought I was just having a kip, and took the shot, sending it to me via email. Hahaha!

Feeling steadier now, my balance was not outstanding, but it wasn’t before the seizure, so no complaints there. I went to invest in a mug of tea and noticed the Bombay Potatoes sachets. I decided a small but tasty meal that was sharp & tasty, might do me good, bring me back, so to speak.
So I prepared it with a load of extra potatoes added.
I mixed it all up and placed it in a microwaveable dish, all ready to go in the oven. Took two bread rolls out of the freezer to thaw out and got Kodak Tim 2 from the front room, to take some pictures from the kitchenette window. Blimey, it was dark out there. But the steadiness of my grip was still affected as I tried four times to take shots of the view. The first two, I was far too shaky.
The penultimate one was a smidge of an improvement, and the final one was not too bad.

I set about microwaving the potatoes.
Bootifull!
