Monday 5th July 2021: Diary, graphics, photographicalisations, and maybe the odd ode, to be told?

A TFZer, getting tips from Gordon Ramsay?

Getting up took enforced motivation!

After a not very willing rejuvenescence, I lay there, the body mangled and half out of the c1968, second-hand recliner. I was fighting against my clinomania like never before! I kept talking to myself to encourage some physical movement, and I must have nodded-off again ten times at least? Got fed up with it!

Around 06:00hrs, the need for a wee-wee helped me out, and at last, the overly bellied body responded to my commands. I escaped the £300, second-hand, c1968, cringingly-beige-coloured, not-working, incommodious, grotty recliner, kicking the signs of nocturnal nibbling, crisp packets and an ice-lolly wrapper, as I hobbled to the wee-wee bucket.

The eyes were still heavy-lidded, the spirit unwilling, and I awaited some activity from the grey-cells. The brain kicked in. The carer is due soon: what should I do first? The ablutions methought... but cleared the nibbling-guilty rubbish first. By which time, my intentions had either been forgotten or replaced.

Started Doing The Health Checks

Yabbadabbadoo!

Phenomenal, unparalleled, unprecedented and Gobsmacking! 

Super-Smug Mode Engaged!

Ablutions Abluted Hehe!

A great session compared to yesterday. Fair enough, the usual dropsies were a lot, but of no harm or bother. Toothache is easier; far less painful, as was the brushing. A stand-up wash, too early yet to use the shower. Again, this went without any bother. Drying, medicating and dressing, produced as I say, a few dropsies, but no knocks, stumbles, falls, walking into anything, and my spatial awareness seemed to be spot on this morning? Blimus, something must go wrong before long; this is unnatural? 

Even the legs and feet were looked a lot less battered - and the new blotches are fading. I could see only one new one on the legs near the groin, from those seen on Sunday better this morning?

The legs had regained some weight rather quickly overnight, possibly fluid retention. The skin, particularly the legs, were pale, stramineous, leucous, with a  peakish pallor.

Chestnut Walk Photographicalisationing

I put the Canon camera battery on charge, and I used the Kodak PixPro to take these photographs from the balcony. I could not believe it... when it steadied the camera, which is a larger one and can be a devil to get decent shots with; Shaking Shaun, Nicodemus's Neurotransmitters, and Saccades Sandra, were all kind to me! 

I'm treating records today! With things that have never happened before:

1) The hardest ever case of dysania I've ever struggled with.

2) The most amazing Health Check results, with the lowest ever Blood Pressure! 

3) The easiest ever Ablution Session!

4) The suspected Clopidogrel marks suddenly beginning to disappear from the legs?

5) The ailments did not interfere or attack while taking photographs of Chestnut Walk (below).

6) Little Inchies fungal lesion was not bleeding at all this morning, for the first time in months!

7) Then the biggest ever Porcelain Throne evacuation since coming out of the hospital, and with no bleeding! (later).

Where was I?  A bit of procrastination crept in there, sorry. Oh, yes, the photos:

Made a Brew of Thompsons Punjana

I kept changing my mind about which tea to make. My cunctationing and shilly-shallying knew no limits. I even argued with myself about which brew to have? Sad, innit?  I ended up going for Glengettie after all that. Started to get the photos uploaded and sorted for this blogs template. Starting off the post at  08:15hrs - and realised that the morning Carer was a little late. This happened last Monday as well. Some carer had rung in at the last minute to the company, which was not good that late.

Carer Nichole Arrived

But today, Nichole was only a little bit late; I bet she's copped for some extra calls. ♥ She wasn't her usual self this Monday morning.

My EQ told me she was worried about something, which made me sad, a lovely gal! ♥

Summoned to the Porcelain Throne!

Aha, at last something didn't go so well - although not disastrous, mind you. I got to the Throne, and the movement began as I was dropping my trews, so I had to rush a bit to get seated in time.

Boy, oh, boy, it was a thick light brown torpedo that flowed, taking a minute to clear the innards! Which it did bloodlessly and painlessly! Yet, It must have been about a foot long and chunky with it! The stick was needed to encourage it to disappear when flushed a few times! So, this session ended up as yet another bit of good luck for me. Pain and bleeding were absent, Harold Haemorrhoids were not bothered by the size of the thing... It was amazingly smooth and easy to clean up too!

Hristina Arrives To Take My Blood

11:00hrs, my Plbotomy Angel, Hristina came, to take my blood. She'd managed to get a parking space today! Hurrah!  Soon had my blood taken and found time making an effort to chinwag with me while draining my haemoglobin. For the first time ever - (another record was broken today), I had Shuddring Shoulder Shirley had a go at me while Hristina was putting the needle in! It didn't really hurt much, but we had a job to stop the bleeding after the sample was taken. Hey-ho! 

Hristina left on her busy round, and as usual, I sulked a little when she went. Sob!

Intercom Problems Again Tsk!

The intercom lit up: had I been in another room, I would not have heard it, and the volume is on full as well. Whoever it was filled the screen with his mush, and I could not hear a word he was saying. But the machine went blank while he was talking, so that was that. I think it might have been a call from Kingston Court again, as what bit of background I could see just didn't match up to anything in the Woodthorpe lobby. Huh!

Scam Call Came in on the Landline

11:30hrs: I could not understand everything he was saying, but I recognised the script he was reading from and his distinct Asian voice; it was the same as last week and the week before when he called to scam me. I put down the phone. Swine!

I Checked The Blogger Comments

Three had come in. So, I set to answering them. The regulars, Tim Price and Billum. I do love getting them and trying to be witty in reply.

WordPress Reader Visited

Then, and it's hard to believe I know, but...

Nosh Prepped & Served

Whoopsiedangleplop! I forgot to put the red, gungo and green beans in the mix!

Absolute Fool, I am!

Carer Ilia Arrived

After she'd sorted the meds, we had little chinwag. Off she went, disappearing down the hallway, and out to continue her rounds. Sad!

Evening Thoughts

The body of its own accord begins to transume,

Welts, and blotches, the skin does consume,

No hair left on the head to groom,

Life is like living in a mausoleum,

No pep, drive, hope or vroom,

I've become a bridegroom,

Time to enter my tomb,

Never will, I assume,

Or Wizards broom,

Back to the womb!

Peace does loom,

Oh, I need wee-wee, off I zoom!
