None of these is mine. I spotted them while searching and smiled at each one!

07:00hrs: I stirred back into imitation, pretend, faux-life. Back-aching, and a twang of acid in my mouth, throat and nose. (Nocturnal, or morning seizure?)

Made up the bin bags, hoovered and had another mini-seizure. Not time to fret about that, for I was summoned to the Porcelain Throne. Another of those rock-solid, much effort needed jobs, with a follow-through of watery spattering. Still easier than yesterday, and less messy. After cleaning up, a second follow-through arrived, not a lot though. I was baffled and still am as to why I could not get up from the loo seat! The lower back pain was just too painful when I tried. Yet I got up at least twice in the last few minutes? Again, Carer Ejaz arrived just when I needed him most. He hauled me up onto my feet. I keep saying this, but he saved the day again. Ejaz issued the medications, Phorpain-gelled the shoulder, and back. Check my lower and rear regions. Creamed. 
The Backpain-Brenda was eased by the gelling, and Ejaz did so on all four calls today. That got me through, along with the Codeines.

The Nurse turned up, my favourite one, to check the leg and ankle, and put a new dressing on it for me. Bless her. 🤎

I got on with finishing the Tuesday blog, finished it, and posted it off. Had to stop at around midday when two carers arrived. Ejaz on the cleaning &
laundry 2-hour session, and Mizra for the medications. Mizra did some Phorpaining and Emmeloinating. Nice
ad. Ejaz took the laundry down to the washer.

When he came back up, he rang the Audio Clinic to get an appointment for any Wednesday for me.
Our problem with getting an appointment is that only Wednesdays are available, because the NHS says I have to have a Carer with me, or a family member. Thus: 
Wed 4th Feb, A Dentist appointment. Wed 11th: a Doctor’s visit. The earliest appointment I can get is Wednesday, 18th Feb, so there’s still a while to go before I can hear again. But the lad got me in.
He’s a good lad!

VIRGIN CONTACTED
With our last call to them costing an estimated minimum of £22, including a £2 connection fee for 0333 numbers each time, and Virgin cutting us off three times, neither of us was exactly looking forward to making this inquiry. But Ejaz gave it a go, with me saying if they start cutting us off again and giving out telephone numbers and links for us to use, ring off. 
Wisely, Ejaz said, “You are depressed without losing your TV, and now more grumpy, let’s see how it goes.
The usual delays and repeating things to get by the robots’ marathon natter to us, Ejaz spoke to a human. They delayed things a little to stretch the money I’m paying for the call; they always do that. Twice, she wanted to speak with me. Ejaz clearly put the phone on speaker and used thumbs-up for yes and thumbs-down for no. Handed the phone back to Ejaz. Another ten minutes or so, and amazingly, astonishingly, this is the third time he’s tried to get help when the new remote stopped working, 3 months ago. This is True… They’re sending an engineer to look at it, Tomorrow!!!
Twixt Well done, Ejaz! Of course, with my record of bad luck, I will not get excited until they have been and got it working again! Then… And he stayed for quite a while, but paid no further visits after this; it was great while it lasted!
Ejaz was running out of time. But he’s done a grand job again. No time for any cleaning again; the laundry was collected and left in the bag for me to sort and hang. Medicated me, rescued me, sorted out (I hope, it is Virgin we are talking about – Although British Gas is equally as harmful) the Virgin remote control, and booked me in with the audio clinic. I’d be lost without him.

Late now, Food Needed!
Food Now Eaten, Mmm!
