Hi to all my party guests, how nice of you to join me. I have spent the night worrying that my post might have been taken down as too negative. However it seems that quite a few of us are experiencing really down days. Partly I am convinced because the NHS prop is no longer available to us at point of need. Instead we find ourselves in a somewhat adversarial situation where it is a fight to access help. Most of our GPs only work 2 or 3 days a week, so really they are not available to access for half the week. We get fobbed off to paramedics by receptionists, paramedics then refer us to a GP. Bill and I are now in a BOGOF situation, he needed to speak to a Dr, I have to speak for him as his stroke caused dysphasia, and I need to talk to a Dr, so we are both going to be dealt with in one phone call. I did manage to book my blood test for the next haematology consultation, hopefully the red cell issue will have resolved itself or a Dracula session threatens. My red cells and platelets seem to be Samba-ing up and down. With regard to the Electricity situation, my daughter said money man Martin thingy? Recommends do nothing, locking oneself into a three year contract at this moment is not a good idea. I told my daughter that at the moment I excell at doing nothing! Decision made, hurrah!
I will do nothing today in my relax and recliner G plan chair (£150) from the Plymouth Heart Foundation charity shop, an absolute bargain. My husband has one from there too. If my treasure of a carer will solve my sock issue I will totter out for a damp amble round the estate. I need to walk off my indulgent slice of buttered toast slathered with Frank Cooper’s deliciously dark Oxford marmalade., and await the other half of Bill’s flat pack mobility scooter to arrive. We have the seat , the arms a a large wire basket, but no wheels, handlebars, battery or control panel. My son in NZ ordered it from China, I suspect it is either on a ship queueing to be unloaded, or in a container on the Felixstowe dockside. The one he ordered for me hasn’t even appeared on the horizon. He insisted on giving us one each. I suspect this may cause a parking issue. Nothing these days is ever straightforward.
Thank you all for coming and bringing all your issues to the party, come and join me any time you feel like it, I hope you are all feeling a little less down for your visit. Marylin PS I know there is some way I can include you all in one reply but I have forgotten, is there a way to access a guide to using this forum?
