04:55hrs: Woke, rose from the c1968 recliner, wee-wee'd, and belched as I was relieving myself. Which brought back the crude taste to my tonsils of last night's supper.

Attended To The Health Checks
The SYS was a smidgeon up again. But look at the Pulse! 102! Blimey!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Checked out the feet
The right foot was still looking tumescent. Walking was not easy again, but no worse than yesterday. Mind you, I did have the tumble on Sunday, didn't I?

CorelDrawing
Made a brew of Glengettie and decided to get on with creating graphics for this blog. That's how short I was; not a single one was done in advance. Humph! Got just the top two done.

ACCIFAUXPAS
Whoopsiedangleplop
Of a most painful kind, self-inflicted!
A Toe-Stubbing!

Porcelain Throne!
Honestly! An even betterer session than yesterday. No pain, not much mess, no aroma worth mentioning, smooth, easy starting, I was feeling so happy with myself... then:
I uncautiously whipped up the pants without any regard for catching Little Inchies fungal lesion... which I paid for when I tore the dried blood on the lesion open.
Grindingagonydamit! & Gragglespitgurgle!
I was at the threshold, the ceiling of my pain tolerance, when I applied the Dakacort ointment! I hate doing this job!
Of course, I laughed it off. T'was nothing really. (I lie, well, don't I?)
Humph! Well, if things come in threes, as some believe, I've hopefully just got one more painful Accifauxpa to go yet. But, knowing my luck...

Looks Like Rain is Coming...
It suddenly went rather dark out there!

Morning Carer Arrived
Richard got the medications sorted out and had a look at the buzzer. Kaputt! It was Carer Richard; the door buzzer was not working again. Now kaputt! After all the help Carer Valerie gave me, too.

Started This Blog
It was a long slog.

CorelDrawing
Had to go back onto CorelDraw to get more page and header graphics created for later use. So, I did.
Mug Of Glengettie
I was struggling with my concentration, thought a break would help things clear in the brain-box department. It didn't! Stopped for a mug of tea.
Ended up sorting the last loaf from the freezer, put it in the window to thaw out. Then made a brew of, no Glengettie, but Thompsons Punjana, very nice too!

The Heavens Opened Up!
I took some photos from inside the balcony. Not going to open the finger-trapping new windows in this downpour!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Back onto CorelDraw
With a feigned, weak determination to get some graphics done on CorelDraw, I pressed on. My mind was in a widen-dream state. Concentration was hard to grasp this morning. Stubbed toe, fungal-lesion and the door chime breaking... Oh, with any luck, that'll my three mishaps out of the way? Or not!

Nosh served up
BBQ stew, beans and sausages. I'll make a note not to have one of these again. Taste Rating 5/10!

A letter posted through Door
I'm bewildered now!
And, Natalie has already helped and booked me a blood test that I have to go to the Carrington surgery to have done, for next Tuesday. I've not heard anything from them for over two months of inactivity on the Blood Test front... I'll have to beg Natalie to help me out again. Befuddled! How come they can go for two months without any contact, no blood taken, and now find I'm 2 weeks overdue?

Evening Carer Arrived
It was Valerie tonight. The danged door buzzer was not working again! Val soon got the medications sorted out for me ♥.
A couple of minute natter, mainly about the door chime failure again. As Val was leaving, I tried swapping the batteries in the buzzer. Richard had put the one in it back to front, and the chime worked again... but this had happened before, and it stopped working the next time a carer tried it!
All a part of the Mysteries of Woodthorpe Court, with the hobgoblins, spectres, gnomai, phantasms, ghosts, the grotesque succubae, extraterrestrials, ectoplasms, spirits, or the Fata Morganas that have been sent to taunt, irritate and terminate my already limited saneness of mind?
I'd hoped for some peace, rest, ease of mind in my old age... But No!
Valerie kindly took the waste bag with her to the chute on her way out.
Bless Her Cotton Socks! ♥
Oh, I do miss Jill! ♥♥♥

Head Down
Too tired and confused to do any computer work: sleep is all I could think of. As the last burst of the sunset came into and on my feet, I took this snap of the poor old plates, looking rather rough, and giving me some hassle even when they were up on the chair and doing nothing. Hehehe!
But with all the updating to do in the morning and wanting to get out shopping for food, sleep was not easy to come by. I was fretting over the DVT letter, the magically failing door chime.
Sister Janet, Goniosynechial (Chronic Angle-closure Glaucoma) and xyrophobia sufferer hubby Pete going on his cancer-scan checkups; we are an ageing, ailing family! Which is far worse for Jane and Pete. I'm impressed with how they are coping... I think the wine helps them! Hahaha! Which reminds me, I've got a case of wine and bottles of the plonk in the spare room for them.
Time is an issue, with all the medical appointments, and in my case, failed medical appointments and my ailments making doing everyday tasks a chore that takes more time to do each day... Oh, I'm depressing myself now!

Evening All!
Gud Dafternoon, Sir! I am finally getting around to reactinng to the week afore us, Just visited my sister Terry and husband Jay. A good number od chin waggings involved all events presently happeming in the better known universe. They live to the north of us in Ohio proper, a ggod time was enjoyed by all. They wishes you a fine Tuesday as well as a well Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThe BP was lousey most certain, and the nosh was week as weeks-old tea. We hopes yer BP improves much on the morrow, when to-morrow becomes to-day, a bit too regnerisch, nicht wahr?
May Sweet Morpheus treat you properly. HRH Lisa is ailing from this and that, not seeing Sweet Morpheus for a spell does not help in the least. May Woden treay you well in the morrow!
Aha, Billum got in a Master-Nattering Session? Well done Sir! Thankum them for the wishes, and may their week be wonderful!
DeleteLona who lives in US of A, but I can't remember where now, said they had regnerisch in the form of storms? We've had less rain than for ages, Bill, coming in short sharp short bursts.
Wotan is not controllable, and tomorrow will prove so even more.
I seem to be getting SM in short bursts lately, thus I am ever getting confused as to the time and day, with doing so many waking-ups. Hahaha! As you will read in tomorrows blog - 'What a fool' was muttered to myself a good few times.
I am sending healing & comforting thoughts through the ether for HRH Lisa. Bless her!
Spot on again with anticipated improvements from the BP, by the way, Sir!
Sounds like your buzzer is draining the batteries too fast. Valerie is a clever gal, whereas Richard is a bit battery and buzzer challenged. I'm finding a lot of that these days with men about as useless and cock rooster. They can crow well, but they are often useless when it comes to being handy. Your meals are failing the taste tests.
ReplyDeleteThe buzzer worked this morning when Carer Fatou Ndow arrived - it beats me, but a lot of things do nowadays. I got on WP, but can't remember how to do half the things, IO'm sure there was a way to change font size and colouring before, but can't find it now. I shall find time somehow to further investigate this. So many appointments coming up.
DeleteI shall try to concentrate and stay awake doing the next nosh. Hehehe!
Cheers, Sir.
