SATURDAY 2nd OCTOBER 2021

Because I was well-drained very early yesterday, with the hobble out and aches and pains, I got my head down early last night. Thus, this morning...

I was up at 01:00hrs: (I know, but what can yer do?) No wee-wees were required. I got on intending to get on with the computer blogging catch-up duties.

First, A Mug of Punjana!

The flat felt really cold? I opted to get the Health Checks done first.

Well, Crapsticks! BP was up yet again!

Blog Prepping

I did five hours on the computer, with slowly increasing needs for a wee-wee throughout this session.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Break for a Glengettie time!

I noticed that, to my surprise, the wristwatch was working again?

I put the watch to roughly the right time last afternoon. And blow-me, it was still going? So, I put it on... hello, Throne time...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Porcelain Throne

A smidgeon was reluctant to start at first, but when it began, the oh, so chaotic evacuation was over in a minute. Left a heck of a mess to clean up, mind.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Saturday Blog Finished

It took me an hour or so. Got it posted to Blogger, Emailed the link, and got on with making a template for this one.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Porcelain Throne Mark Two!

I was taking the gone cold mug of tea to the kitchen when the need for the Throne arose - swiftly followed by a panic attack! Dropped the cup and hastened ASAP to the wet room! I felt more than hear the gurgling from the innards.

A right kerfuffle getting through the wet room door, I think I accrued some more bruises on the shoulder and arm getting in.

Tore a button off of the trews in my haste to get the pants down in time...

I could sense the evacuation creeping out and doing it faster!

Splush, splash, splish, splodge... trickling noises, and the bowl was soon well filled - but I made it in time! 

I was sat-sitting there, and a second-round in virtual liquid form arrived...

The mess made was atrocious. I sat a little longer without getting up, just in case sneak attack number three arrived, luckily it didn't. What a corroboree! Cleaning next...

I was so glad I made it in time! Ten minutes later, I'd done the cleaning up of the stinking, gooey mess and went to see if the mug had broken when I dropped it. Bit of good luck there; I couldn't see any breakage or cracks in the China mug that Jenny kindly gave me. Phew!

Started On This Template

The wee-weeing were still getting more frequent. Five minutes after this, I had another, then not a one for over two hours? Confusing innit?

Put the kettle on, and realised it was gone 08:00hrs, and no carer had called? Ah, but it is Saturday! A day, known for much absenteeism within the ranks of the Caring Industry. I've had two non-shows, eight late calls since August this year to date.

Onto Facebooking

That didn't last long. It felt like anything, and everything was trying to muck things up for me! Then, Meridian Care rang me. My Carer in wanting to get inside. I recommended that she press my flat number on the panel on the wall. The whoever it was that was ringing rang the Carer. Couldn't hear the intercom go off; I nipped out to see if anyone was coming up in a lift, nope.

Back to the flat and phoned them, suggesting that mayhaps the Carer was in the wrong block of flats. Told her it was the end one and gave her the names of each block. She phoned the Carer... Costing me a fortune all these calls... The Carer is on her way to the front door now! (She'd been in Winchester Court) 

So, I got the dressing gown and shoes on and went down to the front lobby. The gal was just coming in.

I thought I recognised her pretty face...

When we got up to the flat, chatting en route, she said she remembers now; she's been once before. Solange is her name.

Got the medications sorted out, and off she went. Poor thing is miles behind with her calls. Bade her farewell and thanked her.

Back To Facebooking

Boggleknackfunks!

Internet Back On

Fourth go at Facebooking. Fed-up with this! Still, the wee-wees are increasing now I've had the belated Furesomide.

Deliveries Arrived

One After 'tother

Aha, Amazon...

A box within the box... that be cans of Chinese Water Chestnuts

Then the Postman Arrived. With the cheap wristwatch from Amazon and the Warfarin DVT INR Blood Results

Boxes opened, the rubbish collated into bags and got some fodder sorted.

Fodder Prepped & Consumed!

Too tired to make owt fancy. I got the potatoes, microwaved two beefburgers and cheese, and ate them as fillings for the sourdough bread with tomatoes. BBQ sauce added. Flavour Rating: 8.8/10. Lip-smackingly Good!

Settled in the Recliner

Zzzz!

Woke Up in Need of a Wee-Wee!

Had a Marathon session, during which I thought I must have got up while sleeping and used the Wee-wee Bucket several times; it was so full?

Gave it a good cleaning and sanitising, put the kettle on, and started to fill the bucket again? What?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Checked The Deliveries

The new watch, spare straps, and strap fitted to the broken one on an old watch. (The one that yesterday mysteriously started working again).

I'd gone from having no working wristwatches; to three in a day. Hahaha! 

All three are nice and clear to read. Not that I can when Saccades is playing up, but at all other times, the three of them cost less than £18... mind you, I've had to get batteries and straps as well. I got a pack of six cheapo push through replacement straps today as well. The old watch on the wrist had one on it.

Washed the Shirt

I whipped off the shirt and got it washed, rinsed, rung and hung above the sink to drip dry. Had another wee-wee.

Evening Caller Came

It was Valerie tonight. She kept getting calls on her mobile as she sorted the medications out, and I finished clearing up in the kitchen. I wondered if someone else had cried off of work, and Valerie was being asked to cover for them?

I was moderately in with-it mode after the sleep, so I remembered to check to see if the Warfarin dosages were the same as on the INR sheet. Val said they were. I bade the gal farwell. Had another wee-wee?

Computer Back On

Surprisingly

Got this blog updated. Emailed the link and went on Facebooking...

I got excited too soon!
