TUESDAY 12th OCTOBER 2021

I've been up all night again. Finished off the Facebooking. Drank a lot of tea. Did a lot of wee-weeing. Sent the email links off. And I carried on doing the local news-gathering from the Nottingham Email mag. If there is any worth a laugh or other emotion-prompting, it'll go in today's dairy. Nowt much, apart from crimes, assaults, stabbings etc., disheartening it is. This is all!

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

Started on this template

As I did so, the flipping 'Hum' started. As bad as last night again. Like someone had turned on a tap or hose-pipe suddenly?

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

Chrigglebogsnot, Wallabangbang and Grobognangles...

Fries mucks my plans up again!

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

I managed to get the tests all done with a wee-wee, mug of spring water and a Co-codamol later.

Not such good figures this morning. None in the green, but I did avoid going into the hypertension Stage 2 by a gnats whisker, Phew! Tsk!

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

Kip-Time!

03:00hrs: time to get my head down. And hope I can get up before the Carer arrives, and they don't have to wake me up - I'm always half-out of it when that happens and foggy-brained. Hehe!

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

Woken Up By Carer!

It was Carer Fatua, who cunningly didn't press the door chime to let me know she was here, and then crept right up and over me to wake me up. I must have jumped a bit - I could not tell what she was saying with her facemask on but sensed a smile developing under the mask fabric, at my nervousness. Hehehe! 

I was ordered to sit down to take the medications. I wasn't going to be intimidated, oh, no... It just happened that sitting down was what I intended to do next, anyway.

Suspected Inchie-Fib Identified!

I was feeling a smidge muddleheaded and discombobulated but sensed the tablet taking went alright. Fatua departed, leaving the waste bags on the box near the door for me to take... So, I did that next job!

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

Waste Bags were gathered from the top of the box, taken to the chute.

No injuries, Accifauxpas or Whoopsies!

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

Feeling Peckish

Solved the problem!

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

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

The Right Foot

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

The Furesomide Flourishes!

With the Morning Carer not turning up yesterday morning, meaning I had to take the Furesomide six hours later than usual.

After phoning Meridian Care to let them know about it and taking another this morning; The body and bladder are in turmoil! Little Inchie's fungal lesion has started to bleed; through being handled so often. The wee-weeing has never been more troublesome and repetitive!

Everything I tried to do from here onwards was interrupted by my frequent visits to the Emergency Nocturnal Bucket. The pre and after leakages were unavoidable, with the bladder determined to jet-hose the urine all over the place on every visit! Then, of course, medication's and or cleanings had to be done after many of the bucket visits.

A bloody good job that I have a decent stock of the PP's in store. Phew!

Yet another Stuck-in-the-Flat, day. Sore extremities, rumbling innards, wee-wees rally rampant... I'm getting fed up! Even worse now... He's off again... I'm just lucky, I guess?

 

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

Amazon-Morrison Due

I'm the next drop. Checked the Amazon tracker, and I found the delivery was due soon. So I took a wee-wee and got myself down with the flat trolley guide to meet the driver. And just got there in time to catch him.

The driver crammed all the parcels onto the flat trolley guide, two bags would not fit on it, and he wandered off... Thank you very much!

Up in the lift, going so far and returning for the bag I had to carry. Only just got inside the flat, and the Furesomide inspired wee-weeing was needed again - no delaying it, luckily I was right outside the wet room door at the time of the urge arriving. But I didn't make it on time!

WHOOPSIEDANGLEPLOP

I had to clean up again, get a new pair of PP's on, and treat poor old badgered, battered Little Inchies fungal lesion!

Things were so bad, I took a CoCodamol!

I went through this procedure so many times during the day - I'll try not to mention it again. Shagaches! 

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

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

Sorted the Fodder

At long last, I got around to putting the food away. Luckily for me, no frozen foods might have thawed out during the cleaning and medicating marathon session in the wet room!

Fridge items stored away first. Then got some potatoes in the crock-pot, intending to slice a couple to use in the Beef in Black Bean Sause meal. (Wee-wees, agony, and bleeding permitting, of course!) I can't believe the problems I'm having with taking one tablet 6 hours late yesterday. Sorry to mention it, but I've just wee'd yet again and had to empty and sanitise the bucket. It was so full!

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

Cleared Rubbish to Chute

ACCIFAUXPAS!

Clonglegrips!

I didn't get back in time from the chute room for a leak!

I'm getting so annoyed by, frustrated with, and exasperated at this embarrassing situation with the torrenting wee-wees!

Well, with the failure to get to the bucket or toilet in time, anyway! Having to spend ages cleaning, ointmentating and suffering near agony with poor Little Inchies fungal lesion!

The worst thing is none of it is my fault! I'm on my third pair of PP's of the day now! Had the Carer arrived on or near time yesterday morning, none of this would be happening to me.

Still, I should be used to the failure and shame by now: I've had plenty.

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

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

Working on the Computer

But I'm not doing very well, progress wise. The insatiable thirst for tea and water, the crazy uncontrollable weeing, the pain of having to treat Little Inchies fungal lesion so often... and now the bladder is burning inside, well it feels like it is, anyway. Moaning on a bit there, wasn't I? Sorry!

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

Should I Ring The Doctor?

I might be able to get an appointment for some time at the end of November to have the bladder, swollen feet, Furesomide problems investigated? Hahaha! Then again, will I still be alive by the time an appointment arrives for me?

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

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

TOES TURNING UP?

Hahaha!

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

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

Pain & Pressure Getting To Me!

Ashamed to say that I knocked on the ceiling back at the dismissive,  disrespectful, pococurante personage above, this time, in response to his noise making. Naturally, it didn't make any difference. Herbert just carried on banging, tap-tapping and scraping! 

I'm not doing very well today!

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

Nearly Tea Time Already

I've got very little done. Maybe I'll make the evening meal early... yes, why not. Potatoes and Beef in Black Bean Sauce coming up! Off I go into the kitchen to prepare the feast.

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

The Rain Falleth!

A dull yet appealing view.

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

Meal Prepped & Eaten!

Chinese Style Beef in Black Bean Sauce, with added potatoes and leeks. However, for some unknown reason, it tasted nothing like the one I had last week; it was the same brand as well! Cooked for the same amount of rime, I even served it up in the same dish?

Flavour Score: 6.8/10.

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

Nodded Off Again

Washed the pots and counter, sat down and drifted off into a deep but mentally disturbing slumber. I can't say what I was dreaming about cause I have no actual memories (again!). But as I woke up, I felt uncomfortable, ill at ease?  

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

Evening Carer Arrived

Carer Julia arrived to sort me out. Spared me a laugh and little gossip after the medications were sorted. ♥ Then took the bag of waste to the chute for me. ♥

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

Updated this Blog

Posted it to Blogger, went on Facebooking and got my head down.

Ahh! Nice!

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

Up or A Wee-wee!

And what a marathon session it was!

Took a final photo of the rain-drenched view, with the lights coming on.

So tired again, poor old chap!

TUESDAY 11th OCTOBER 2021

00:04hrs: Working on this template.

01:30hrs: Got the template finished.

Not too bad at all. Pulse down a smidgeon, SYS as well. Jolly Good!

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

Graphic Creating

Onto Coreldraw. Got a header done and two sub graphicalisations done.

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

Made A Brew

Glengettie this time and had a few shortcake biscuits; well dunked naturally. I knew I'd need something more substantial later, lurking hunger pangs!

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

Began this blog

03:15hrs: I started on today's diary. I had been going along nicely previously, but Saccades began giving out the blurred vision, which slowed everything down terribly. Created many errors and mistakes as well. Hey-Ho!

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

The Dreaded Hum!

Only heard it a few minutes ago, but it's back with a vengeance this morning! Louder than ever! A Constant running-fan like noise. It seems to be flipping more annoying than ever, as well!

Cragnangles!

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

Back On CorelDraw

04:00hrs: Another go, see how things go with Saccades. Oh, no! Abandoned these plans, sight nothing like good enough!

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

The Plates Are PAinful?

As to why the feet should suddenly kick-off, I know not, but they indeed have!

The flash came on the Kodak as I took this photo; the feet tone came out looking slightly more vivid than it really was. You can't win... well, not me! The right foot, I fear, is building fluid again. The itching from under the skin has returned too! 

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

Brekkers Needed

A BBQ microwave Rustler, perhaps? Yes, that'll do me. Get it before the morning carer arrives.

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

But The Morning Carer Didn't Arrive!

Around 0810hrs, no carer called. I was fighting off falling asleep, but not for long, and drifted off into a dream-filled sleep. Annoyingly, yet again, I can't remember what the dream was about.

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

Sprung Awake!

11:00hrs: I shot awake, with the thought-storms rampant! I was fully cognisant of the missing Meridian carer. This concerned me a bit. Doubts crept into my ponderings... had I somehow locked the flat door? Had a carer been and not pressed the door chime, it does fail sometimes. I rose from the £300, second-hand, c1968, cringingly-beige-coloured, not-working, rickety, rusty, incommodious, grotty recliner and hobbled to check the door.

No, not locked, I tried the buzzer, and it rang out the reasonably loud 'Oh, my darling Clementine' tune. Back to the front room, I trudged, confused again now. I thought I was doing well.

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

Ablutions Sorted

Really, I'd gone to the wet room to visit the Porcelain Throne initially. But things were rock solid, and despite the innards telling me it needed an evacuation, it seems that Constipation Conrad was in charge! The innards being blocked, my be due to a tablet I've not taken yet? I took one of the Dioctyl ® Poo-softeners.

So, I got the ablutions tended to. A better session than for ages!

The nasal clearing went a smidge bloody?

The teeth cleaning was painful.

The shaving was a cracking job - I don't think I had a single cut or nick!

Showering had only two minor knocks. The first one was against the power box, the other one on the inner grab rail!

Both, caused by dropsies retrieving.

Overall, the dropsies totalled only about six incidents! A Smug-Mode! 

The right foot was still tender underfoot, mind you. Toe toes were looking chubby and seemed fluid-filled; here we go again, methinks. Tsk!

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

Titivated the kitchen

Walking was still causing me a bit of stinging underfoot, and my balance was not so good now.

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

Meridian Carers Called

After eleven o'clock, I rang the Meridian office located in Winwood Court to advise them of the missing carer. 

The lady said she'd send someone up straight away to me. 

Care gal Dionne came shortly. No point in my complaining, I know the problems they face with staff not coming in, holidays etc.

Dionne got the tablets sorted. She had to get back to the office, but she let me waffle for a minute first, and she took the waste bag to the chute for me as leaving. ♥

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

Computerisationing

Made a start on this blog at last.

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

Hunger Returns

I made the last ready-cooked roast vegetable risotto. I only had to microwave it. I added some peas, black bean sauce, sliced some spuds and the last of the yoghourts. By Gum, I live well, don't I? I will order some more later after my beloved afternoon nap.

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

Fatigue Attack Again

Getting regular theses are lately!

And yet once more, they were of the dream-filled stop and start, waking, nodding off again, waking... routine.

This time, I remembered bits of one of the dreams and scribbled on the recliner-side notepad. Oh, yes!

Unfortunately, I could not really understand anything I'd written due to my atrocious rushed handwriting.

I could read dream, Jill, five, and last or lost. Can anyone helpeth, please?

The Jillie mention was understandable. I still can't believe she didn't adopt me as her Grandad? Hehehe! ♥

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

Yet Another Cat-Nap!

I settled to watch something on the TV, and I think within minutes, I'd nodded off again this time, I seemed to sleep right through... For hours... Until being woken by Carer Carolynne, the TV still on, and my bloated Belisha beacon-like right foot stuck up on the back of the swivel chair?

The poor gal looked weary and tired again. Carolynne's been doing so many hours lately, bless her cotton socks ♥.

I rearranged my twisted body and limbs and rose up, using only the left foot to stand on, the right being so painful. I used two sticks to manoeuvre about for a while.

As I was getting the stuck up in the air leg down, I clunked it against the metal chair leg, and I uttered something like, "Well, thank you kindly for that, foot, did me a lot of good that did!" I'm so glad I did; cause Carolynne emitted a laugh! The medications were sorted, and a few words were exchanged. I offered Carolynne a choice of nibbles and plonk, and she took a waste bag with her to the chute for me.♥

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

Amazon-Morrison Order

I made up a Morrison order to be delivered by Amazon and was most disappointed to see that the Roasted Vegetable Risotto meals were not available online. Humph, and Gragglespitgurgle!

Of course, the tempting Beef in black bean sauce was, as I thought it might, available; it's £1.35 more to buy!

I have to say I was surprised at the total cost. I didn't think that I'd spent that much at all? Baffled once again!

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

Porcelain Throne Demand

Got the kettle on, made a mug of Thompsons Punjana, and left it to marinate and get good and strong. Off to the Porcelain Throne, with crossed fingers for a movement this time. Hehehe!

Went through the Risk Assessors orders this time. I got my knees up and waited for the result of doing so. Success!

It took a bit of effort to get things going, but the giant torpedo flowed, the pain eased, and great relief was enjoyed! Those Dioctyls sometimes work a treat!

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

Quarter Moon Observed!

I got the Kodak, and I toyed with the options... Getting myself more and more confused. I tried to get a distance and close shot of the moon.

As you can see, they were both abysmal failures. I tried several photographings' of each range, but these two were the only ones partly recognisable! Grumph!

Most annoying! Globblegripes!

Updated This Blog

Then went on Facebooking, getting in early before the Liberty-Global Virgin Internet started to go offline.

Posted to Blogger - Sent Email link. And basically fell asleep. Hehe!
