SUNDAY 26th SEPTEMBER 2021

0610hrs: Woke, wobbled onto my one swollen-footed feet, and I struggled to use the NWWB (Nocturnal-Wee-Wee-Bucket). No, that's not right, sorry; I struggled to get the wee-wee started. I could almost feel the wee fighting its way through... then, Whoosh! I think I might have emptied the bladder in seconds. Messy!

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

Prepped Josie's Stew

Veg and seasonings in, adding meat and potatoes later.

Got the spuds into the crockpot.

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

Snapped the end car park

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

Carer Arrived

Care Fatua came this morning. I was stirring the broth when she arrived. 

Fatua had done the medications by the time I cleaned up and got in the room from the kitchen. I tested the front door chime (The only external door) because she did not use it on arrival to ensure it was still operational after putting the new battery in.

Gave me the tablets. Fatua was soon off on her other visits.

Handwashing

I washed the tank top shirt, which was green when I bought it and is now blue after the third wash? Hehehe!

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

Comments

Tim & Bill to reply to. Then made a start on this blog.

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

Porcelain Throne

The best session for weeks! Smooth, no pain, no bleeding, and not too messy. So, the Galpharm® tablets did their job without a doubt, so much more effective than other over-the-counter items!

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

Blood Pressure figures were a tad higher today. But I've had far worse.

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

Wee-Weeing Freer Now

The wee-wees are coming more often now. Without any reluctance to start flowing, or any pre or after micturitional dribbling whatsoever! No bleeding or pain either! Which was nice!

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

Sister Jane Rang

Had a natter as I was going between blogging and prepping Josies Sunday lunch. Enjoyed the natter, but had a minor Accifaupa, dropped the stick, and Josie's dish. Bit of a mess.

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

Sorted and on with serving

Off to Josie's door to deliver the Sunday lunch. Josie looked please with the presentation. (In particular, the small can of pink gin!) Hahaha!

Delivered on time again. (Smug Mode Engaged). Had a mini-chinwag, I wished her happy eating and returned to the flat to get the washing up done.

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

Prepped My Meal for later

I used the leftover chilli stew from Josie's and added more potatoes and black bean sauce. Left it to marinate, then later I can use the microwave to heat it up again, for eating. It smells good!

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

Jenny Called

The poor gal was not very good. She'd pulled her back when she responded to help from a 90 year+ tenant who had fallen badly. Being Jenny, she responded and sat with the chap while they waited for an ambulance, which took hours, with it being a Friday night. Bless her ♥ We had a natter I mentioned the Warfarin DVT blood test farce. But I was glad she rang, else I would have forgotten about the new Caremilk chocolate and cans of gin I was going to take for her and Nora, and it reminded me. I got them in a bag and popped down to Jenny's apartment with them.

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

I reheated my meal

I'm not sure what, or if I did owt wrong with this dish - but it was terrible tasting! The worst one in a long time. I just hope that Josie's was alright. Top taste rating I can give, is 3/10!

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

Tired and weary, head-down!

Zzzz! Woke over two hours later. Rose wearily still, had a powerhouse wee-wee; that caught me out! Hehehe!

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

Evening Carer Arrived

I was in the kitchen, singing to myself - didn't hear her come in of course.

I think she thought 'Hello, I've got right one hear!' Hahaha!

No messing, she got down to sorting the medications and gave them me in the pot with the lid on. Naturally, I dropped the pot thanks to a Peripheral Pete involuntary Hitler salute from the right arm - explained my problem, and she picked up the tablets and put them in the lid for me. That was easier to control in the event of any salutes, shakes or shoulder shudderings while taking the tablets.

19:10hrs: She was soon off, bade her farewell, and had a wee-wee.

Titivated the Kitchenette

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

Updated This Blog

Posted to Blogger. Emailed the link, Facebooking, and took another dulusionary wee-wee. Seems the Furesomides are working well. Hopefully this might help clear the fluid from the ankles?

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

As I see things, either Herbert was working on a smaller model, my hearing had f=gone altogether, or I missed some during my afternoon nap. But, I reckon there was only about ten incidents today!

Evening

Evening views from the Kitchenette

Gorgeous!

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

A Special Tonight!

A touch of trial and error in tonight's stew menu. I added some Stubbs (Hickory Liquid Smoke to the potatoes and then the final mix). A mixed bag that didn't come out too bad at all. Hoping for the best.

Canned Chill Soup, draining off the liquid, and adding my own chilli and Bisto gravy, with some smoked capsicum and vinegar. Then some tomato Passata. Too much, perhaps?

And it came out alright... not brilliant, but satisfactory. I gave it a score of 7.40/10.

Sweet Morpheus!

Sleep was slow coming again, but when it did, I got four and a half hours worth of blissful and uninterrupted heavenly head-downing!

Saturday 17th July 2021

05:00hrs: Woke up, and with utter contempt and reluctance to returning to life, I nodded off again. And had a dream about drowning, falling from a rowing boat on the Nottingham canal? I think I was thrown out of the boat?

06:10hrs: I stirred again into an ersatz form of wakefulness, intending to drift off again to see if I died in the canal incident. 

But, the need for a wee-wee changed my plans. I rose from the cosy depths of the £300, second-hand bought recliner, with incredible ease, and off to the NWWB (Nocturnal-Wee-Wee Bucket) and had let free a PSSU (Persistent, Short, Sharp, Uncomfortable)  mode wee-wee. A shockingly long lot of Cessational Micturitional) dribbling followed. When I get the ablutions done late on, I must wear the better protection pants, just in case.  

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

Wet Room

Off to get the bucket emptied and sanitised in the wet room. And, needed another wee-wee while doing so. Hello, is it going to be one of those perpetually Wee-Weeing days?

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

The First Brew of the Day

Off to the kitchenette, the, for me, late morning view was most picturesque, I thought.

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

Dash to the Porcelain Throne!

In my haste and semi-panic to get to the Throne on time, a soupçon of Accifauxpas and annoying Whoopsiedangleplops had hit me when I'd gotten to the wet room: 

• I gave myself a toe-stubbing on the server wheels. Ouch!

• Spacial Awareness Andy misjudged the distance of the door frame - Clunk!

• Getting seated, I clouted Arthur Itis left knee on the floor cabinet corner!

• Then things were so solid inside, there was no chance of evacuating owt!

Still, I got some crosswording done.

And the feet looked good! But pale.

Food Sorting and Prepping

Got some potatoes in the crock-pot, and I added some of the Stubb's Hickory Liquid Smoke. Cause I enjoyed those that I'd seasoned yesterday.

Then I checked the seasonings cupboard. Hehehe! No shortages there, then.

I cleaned the pill-splitter, had a few gulps of the Pentac medicine, and added some Jif lemon and lime to a bottle of Spring Water.

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

Booted Up the Computer

The dreaded blue screen comes on each time I boot the computer. (Sob!)

I'm praying that if the Carer today is Craig, he might be able to give me some tips or guidance. 

I made a start on this blog and starting with last evenings events not put in yesterday.

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

The Morning Carer Arrived

An hour later, and it was Craig calling! I mentioned the dreaded blue-screen problem and got a photo of it on the computer screen. That serves me right for thinking I was going to get some help from someone with it! But young Craig ignored it.

Craig got the medications sorted out professionally for me, and he shot off.

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

Started This Blog Off.

Google Blogger was changing things after I'd typed them, but I can't find out until I go into preview mode. I went into that very often!

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

Morning View Two

Beautiful! The delicate-looking puffer clouds are indicative of it being a hot sunny day today... Haha! But I might be wrong; it has been known.

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

Onto The YourArea Emagazine

In search of news snippets

Not much going on, though.

That's that, then!

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

HealthUnlocked Visited

I didn't make any comments or answers. But as usual, I was amazed at the differences that so many sufferers have to put up with.

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

Belated Health Checks Done

The Blood Pressure was back up into the Hypertension 1 stage. But yesterdays drop into Pre-hypertension was a miracle, and it is only just a little way up higher today. Grrreat!

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

A Cuppa and Biscuit!

But, no! Yes, the mug of Glengettie, but instead of a biscuit or two, I had two mini pork and pickle pork pies... with Worcestershire sauce.

Fantastic flavour!

Dribble pies with Worcester Sauce!

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

Sister Jane Rang

We had an excellent nattering session. Fast wireless charging 10W - Qi Battery, Drone-detector facility, phone, it sounded tinny and hard for us to hear each other at times. Hehehe! 

Although, as is usual with their £1605,  9 Pureview Mobile, with its Android (Pie) updatability, Corning Gorilla Glass 5, Octa-Core Gold CPU, 4K@30fps, 1080p@30fps, HDR video, USB Type-C 3.1, %x12 MP. 28mm Camera, Bluetooth, A-GPS, Fingerprint (under display, optical), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer, Li-Po 3320 mAh, non-removable, fast charging 18W, Quick Charge 3.0, USB Power Delivery.

I enjoyed having a moan, natter and memory prompting; we both did, I think.

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

Feeling Drained Now

I decided to try and get a little nodding-off session before the Carer arrives. Gotten Himmel! I had an hour nod-off.

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

Woke Up, and off to the Late Ablutioning

Here is a report on the most amazing Ablutionalisational session ever taken!

Using the new prescription toothpaste, I surprised myself at how well I coped.

Not only did I not forget to spit out and not rinse the mouth - or use any mouthwash, the toothache was well within my bearability range! And, (this is true) no dropsies of brush or paste!

The good fortune continued with the showering. (Smug Mode Developing!) A few dropsies, but only a handful, and none worthy of recording. 

Only the one Accifauxpas, when I bent down to pick up the shower gel, a decent clouting of the right shoulder on the grab trail. A bit painful, but again, not too bad!

A toe-stubbingless event! 

The drying off went well as well!

The medicationalisationing... well, that didn't go so well, I'm afraid. Harold's Haemorrhoids did not take kindly to the Germloiding tonight, but I was doing it in a rush, as the Carer may come at any time. I don't see why, though?

Arthur Itis and Cathy Cartilage were fine about the Phorpain gelling.

.

But, Back-Pain-Brenda not so? Why?

As usual and not unexpectedly, the Daktacorting of Little Inchies Fungal Lesion... Hurt!

Germolene applications to the sore areas were so welcome and eased the pains well! ♥

Getting dressed, for once, went off without any Nicodemus's neurotransmitters failures or indeed any of Neuropathic Pete’s adventitious right leg Schuhplattler drop-something and flail-about dancing routines; this was Good!

A right mixed bag, but more good than bad!

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

Evening Carer Arrived

No sooner was I dressed and the door chimes rang out. It was Carer Helen, a friendly gal, she's been to tend to me before I think, but I had to ask her her name. I mentioned the Blue Screen and how it was affecting me, getting me down. Helen said she would ask her father if he knew anything, and she took a photo of the blue screen.

♥ That was kind of her ♥.

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

Got the Lounge Pants Washed

I washed, rung, refreshed and hung the so-called lounge pants I got from Amazon. About two months ago, maybe less.

They have frayed at the end of the legs. The pretend pockets have both fell to pieces. The gusset has split. Tsk! 

I must do a report to Amazon.

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

Made a Brew of Thompsons Punjana

Getting late now, and I do not feel like eating. The two mini pork & pickle pies I had earlier seem to have fuelled me up enough?

Made the brew and took a photo of the Godsmacking evening view.

The colouring was so different to usual. I put a photo of yours truly on it for a bit of fun... I thought the connection twixt the sun and my dome was suitable for getting a smile or laugh?

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

Updated this Blog (Ode)

Got it sent off to blogger,

But it was a right bugger,

Blogger changing the fonts,

Sizes and formatting I wants,

Does doing this make Google feel smugger?

It's me that it affronts!

Just thought I'd mention it, like!
