I thought today did not go well at all. But as the memories dissipated over the three days it took me to get this one started, with precious recollections destroyed in my mind and the notepads they were written on, I had no idea how bad it was going to get for me come Saturday.

How I lost every single photo taken was sickening.
Judging by finding this one from Thursday, I assume I cleared out the wrong file. The one sheet of paper reminders was so confusing and hard to, nay, impossible to understand. The Carers tried to decode and read them, all to no avail. I may have to stop doing the blog, or just do an Ode a day.
Getting more hours from the Carers is something I can’t afford, but need. Now I have even less time to get the blog done. I’m getting further behind, to the point of frustration, and I reckon it’s making me ill. I know it’s not a good blog. Yet I loved doing them. Now they are not being enjoyed much at all. Cause I know things will be missed, forgotten or written wrongly.

Late Night: Nottingham Forest, then Notts County both on TV… Vitally, both of them winning! I settled down for a TV splurge. County first.
What a game! County just won, in the fog, what a fog!
Pre-Match, just a bit of mist…
Fog coming,
Fog here…
Fog here…
Fog here…
Fog here…
Fog here…Extra time, then penalties.
Fog here…Great Game & fog.

Then it was a change of channels,
and to Nottingham Forest…
There was no sleep available again!

Began prepping a meal, then fell asleep for an hour.
Burnt offerings cleaned up.

It is now 17:00hrs – Monday 9th November.
On Sunday morning, no sleep worth mentioning. I started feeling pretty bad for a multitude of reasons. The shakes had taken over control of my tight leg and shoulder. A gradually worsening sore throat. Running eyes. 
I could no longer keep my balance safely, and I took a couple of mild tumbles. Coughing worsened.
Carer Ejaz, on Monday morning, made me a brew and left things for me; I could not physically get out of the chair, drinking water and some biscuits.
Monday night, my left knee failed when I tried to get a fresh dressing gown from the rail; I finally got up with the help of Carer Mirza. Short visit, but the lad did not have time to get the socks off or replaced, or brew. He did clean the mess I made in the crock-pot after I fell asleep on Saturday morning. Usable now, thanks.
No shave, wash or shower for 7 days. I’m so tired, but can I sleep? Huh! And I got up an hour or so ago, my balance all over the place, for the first time in 25 hours. New arthritic pains cover my whole right shoulder, and I have new pains in my right ribs when I bend or raise my arm; even at shoulder level, it hurts more than usual.

I’m unsure about any further blogs for a while.
Tuesday: JS food order arriving early. DVT Warfarin INR blood test. Wednesday: audiologist appointment for earwax removal, £175. Thursday: neurologist appointment (if it isn’t cancelled again) and a Morrisons food order. But if I can, I’ll try to do one of my sad, indifferent Inchie Odes, HC’s and a Cartoon.

Tumbles Monday, but Carer to the rescue.
Over the weekend, I reckon I was in bed or chair for 18 hours straight – but got about 30 minutes’ sleep.
It’s a challenge, innit?
