I realise this may be hard to swallow, but I made yet another worrying set of 
this morning.
I was sat here at the computer desk… well the 1963-bought, falling to pieces, Hopewell’s E-Plan Sideboard, with the doors falling off, having one of my regular panicky modes. And Carer Kara arrived, which always has a calming effect on me. She asked if both of the Thursday appointments had been moved to Wednesday, or just one of them? Panic-Mode Status up to Defcon three! I’d not thought about that! I think she got the idea I was getting worked up when I started to sob and whimper?
Would the Hospital expect me to go two days running? The thought of having to catch a bus and tram there and back put fear in my heart. Mind you there was a fair bit lingering in there, over the thought of having to get trousers, socks and shoes on after the 2-hour ablutioning session each time, already)
Kara got the details and said she’d try to sort me a lift with Easy-Link and find out about the appointments for me.
When the second Carer, Sam arrived at midday. All had been sorted out, much to my amazement, Easy-Link could fit me in! Also, both appointments will be on! Yes!
A quicker-than-usual blog though, I have to find the time for the full ablutionalisationing session somehow.

An excellent shade of urine!
Not much rain last night, and no dog to watch bathing in it!
After tending to the needs of the

I went to make a brew of Glengettie.
And took a photo of the tree copse area.
Bootiful!
Got the computer on…
After three minutes! ARRGH!
As it returned, Carer Kara, my Angel of Mercy arrived.
See the Prodrome above for further details.

drops inserted. I remembered this time to stick my finger in the eye for three minutes.
Well, Kara reminded me too!

This lasted for about five minutes…
This lasted for about one minute…
Then surprisingly, it stayed on for two hours! So I got as much done as I could in that time.
Then Carer Sam arrived for the noon visit.
The great news is that the appointment is for one day only, and the lift had been arranged with Easy-Link. Brilliant!
Sister Jane phoned as Sam was about to leave and answered it for me. Jane said she’d ring back later
Well fancy that!
So, I called Sister Jane back. She rang on the mobile that I rang her on, I can’t remember her number on the landline.
We had a good natter. Turns out she’s just had her cataract done again. But the poor thing’s experience was the opposite of mine. She was in pain afterwards, and she still is. Poor Jane!
We still managed a laugh or two though; that’s us!
I got on with blogging, again-this believe it or not, was the last failure up to now… a period of four hours! From the

The oddest ever trip to the Throne this was… well, maybe not!
I really thought that 
was losing his grip on the evacuations. For things didn’t seem to want to start moving, naturally, I thought this could mean a cement torpedo or two… but no! After a good ten or twelve minutes on the crossword 
puzzle... WHOOSH!
Splatter squelch, and all over in less than 30 seconds.
What a mess to clean up!
Into the kitchenette…
Got the potatoes on the boil…
And took this picture.
Then the above snap of the legs, feet and toes.
They did not look like they were mine!
So much improved inflammation in the lower leg, no leaks from the

Better get the nosh sorted out before the evening Carer arrives.
See you in a bit…
Tuesday Morning Catch-Up
The evening meal
Cheese & onion pasties, potatoes, peas and beetroot.
Cheesecake for afters.
Flavour Rating: 7.2/10.
Went to get the evening’s ablutions done – No Hot Water!
Carer arrived. I mentioned the lack of hot water and asked him to get someone to call the NCH maintenance for me. In and out quickly tonight; the lad was looking tired. Eye drops & medications sorted.
I got up to wash the pots.
Wonderful view!
Close-up of the wonderful view.
Zzz!

leg injury and infection, are less frequent.
Had a closer look at the infected wound coin the leg. It looked so much better. The occasional stinging pains still give me some pain and hassle, though.
I went to make another brew, taking a snap of progress at the house, close to the Woodthorpe Grange Park bottom field. Plenty of equipment or parts there this morning.
I had to take the right slipper off. Too painful, as the leg and ankles are beginning to swell up again. Getting as big as the left leg. The hip is just as bad; it’s not 
a good place to be when I stand or brave hobbling. Bit of drizzle, and I espied the mud-slide was relatively wide. Hehe!
Another marathon session… well, not the session, but the cleaning up after the session… if you know what I mean… if you do, please let me know. Thanks!
I finally got the blog sent off to WordPress.

And it came out in B&W?
This was one of the best ‘Article-Item-Face’ finding pareidolia session photos of the year.
My first thought was the whole picture could be a map of Europe in the future.

This is going to be fun, all that bending.
for so long, it must have been four hours later when I realised that I’d not moved the food from the kitchen floor! Aargh!
The frozen chips had started to melt.
The ready-prepped spuds.
Cheapo batteries, Curls and baking soda.
The fridge & freezer were well-filled.
Freezer mostly with bread products.
I checked on the day’s outages reported. Then…

But only for ten minutes then it came back on…

Took a picture of the returning rain-covered scene, of some flats balcony and the car park.
The rain returned.
Back on eight minutes later…
Shame! Had to do a complete restart on the computer and Virgin box, but got it back on within 40 minutes.
I posted the blog and was sending an email…
I waited for half an hour, but it wasn’t keen on coming back online again…

I’ll try again… 
The pain when I moved the right leg was good. I think the infection that is clearing in the toes and foot, is creeping upwards now? A complete reversal now; the left leg has deflated a lot, and the right is warm to the touch, swollen rock-solid, and so painful if I touch it… hobbling about today has been worse than last week. 
The beauty would soon be forgotten…
The right leg’s red areas continue to creep up the leg.

The colour of the urine in the night bag was a disappointment.
All of a sudden, I remembered taking these after I looked at them. The bottom field was the one above I took mid-morning through the balcony doors and windows. The grass does not look very green; we could do with more rain.
