How Was Your Day? VII

Cheers....

Alas it's not going so well I think the plumbing was installed by the Chuckle Brothers and a broken window is vibrating in the wind and when you pay for a Seaview kind of expect the windows not to have bird crap all over it going to try and sleep again but you can bet the plumbing wake me up again this ain't going to be a good trip Advisor review

Plumbing woke me up again how to make a cup of tea unless I do have a kettle but no mug no tea no coffee no sugar no spoon very depressing I will eat my breakfast at 7:30 before I vent my spleen at the ridiculous useless terrible place

Speedy recovery Splashy, need to get A1, ready for the Chrimble season.

Back home.. feeling a lot better.

The couple running last nights b n b where lovely and we chatted for an hour over breakfast, I was only one of two guests.

Train coming back stopped one station shy of mine so i had to get a taxi.. alas the gezzer didnt understand the difference between train station and bus station, I was too tired to argue as they are only 5 mins apart....

I gawd like you say it crimbo time oclock,,, time to hide in the attic.

Neice got caught up in the drama in London today, very relieved it wasnt anything major in the end for everybody concerned.

It is now week 7 after my daughters gastric bypass. We are now in the phase where we do not know which foods she will not tolerate. She does not likevthinks she had before. I can spend hours holding her with a bucket in hand. Horrible. My son finally went to Moorefields to check his eyes and he will be having more tests around his night vision. Moorefiels staff are incredible so i feel we are in safe hands. Nice to have him home from Uni. He is sleeping so much as is exhausted looking after himself in Surrey on top of exams.i started doing job applications finally as one of my jobs ends Feb. Its my main job. So happy that i have started even with all thats happening around me. But even if i do not get anything before Feb i still will hopefully have a good redundancy package after 23 years.

I won 5 quid on the eurolotto ... most anyone was a poxy 165k apart from two millionaire winners which the uk only do on top of the main thing.

Do they do night classes in understanding bus time tables?

came up with a great idea for an app

Booked a cruise for next year, just hope that the ship dosent dock upside down in its destination port like a certain Italian liner did .. land lady is organising it, knowing my luck Im scheduled into salsa dancing classes and a crash course in skeet shooting, in which case I will be volunteering to be the skeet.

:rotfl::rotfl:

I pinged today and the driver still drove past my stop:wall: Yet like the fool englishman I am I thanked him when he did stop at the next one :cartman:

Today i fell in the middle of a main road and only got saved by people at the bus stop right in front of me. My bag went flying in the air and me face down on the road with an on coming car. I thought i was a gonna.
I thought it was my fault until the people at the bus stop showed me the road. It had a big dip in it. Anyway just a scraped knee and badly shaken. I will report it to the Council tomorrow as dont want that to happen to someone else.

Glad to hear you appear to have gotten out of your ordeal relatively unscathed - it sounds like it could have ended up a lot worse! Hope you are feeling better soon. Make sure you do report it to council - years ago my mum tripped over on a cement footpath which had been damaged by large tree roots (she also scraped her knees & had a bad black eye). When we reported it to council they fixed the path rather quickly, plus a few other areas with similar damage. I suspect that their main concern however, was not getting sued! Once again, I hope you recover quickly.

I hope you are ok now

Why do all the local loonies take it in turns to ring my door bell?

Todays allocation of lack of sentience held up a piece of card saying "have you read this brother" I just looked at him, I can barely see him never mind a crummy card but then he is distracted as in the time it took me to go downstairs and open the door he has rung next doors bell who has now just opened their door to the gimp.

I waved to the lovely lady next door and said "hes just selling windows as his goons are doing some poor victims house in the street," she went straight back in as did I, said bod just stood there a second or two before he realised what had just happened.

I hate cold callers with an alacrity that cannot be measured, my aunt became a real target for them because she had Alzheimer, even a sticker in the window saying no cold callers didnt stop them, even thou the last glazing company who signed her up to new windows really regretted doing so. I made sure of that.

Its scary times when the P of America retweets stuff like that and our PM is so weak in so many ways..

Last night i went to hospital because my friends 22 year old had acute stomach pain. His mum went to get him some clothes from home etc and then while i was with him he said the pain was so bad he wanted to kill himself. He did not mean it he was just so distressed with extreme pain but i had to work hard to stop him being seen by the mental health team. He did not realise that by saying what he did that he was putting himself at risk. He was young and was not thinking straight.

Sounds like a horrible night was had by all swm ...

Ok Im going to have to say it .. if someone says they want to kill themselves you must always take it seriously.. if I were you I would refer it to the mental health team who are trained to deal with this kind of thing.. take the responsibility off yourself ...its not fair you should carry that burden.

So who is switching on the crimbo lights here:D

He was 100% joking he thought it was funny to say it. If he was serious i would be the first to get help. He has had the op and all is well. He is the most cheerful person on the ward now.

Had a phone call from one of the recruitment agencies this week, are arranging an interview for me with a company in the same area where I worked for 16 years.Been busy doing Christmas cleaning which was hard going but worth it.

Hi all, I hope everybody's well! :)

Intruder alert ... deploy the Wilmot Brown droids :ninja::cheer::cheer: *manically waves welcome*

subjected my poor doc to inspecting me bits re lump. was given the all clear.. got to love her, she knows better than to call for me on the t annoy because it ends up like a very unfunny sketch from Benny hill where I cant find her door....oh Matron

You know your Doctors a goodin when they have an 8 week wait to see them, it took 3 days of 8 am calls to get a cancellation to see her. well worth it, I could of seen other doctors but shes worth her wait in gold and only works part time.

I go to the doctors the next day I have a cold :wall:

I broke the HMTC call centre .. on the day I try to sort my tax it goes down after I call them 3 times :rotfl:

So many of my online accounts are becoming so secure even I cant get into them :wall:

I am indeed - though it feels a bit surreal that it's come around again so quickly. How about you?

Nice to see you back. :)

managed to put a new screen protector on my samsum edge 7 (dam you samsung bringing our the 8 just after I got the 7).. no I do love the 7

managed to get and install new wrist straps for my gear fit 2.. the one it came with likes to unclasp and loose itself at random.

have a heavy cold so havent been anywhere, mostly because my ocd would have me thinking I culled the local oap population with one sneeze on the bus....:cartman:

Some good news for you then .. heavy cold not good though, hope you feel better real soon x

If this is just a heavy cold Im so glad I had the flu jab Perd.. paid for it in Boots on the Isle of Wight a few months back.. I would recommend we all get the jab, its not that this strain is more dangerous, well not that I know its just that our NHS is so near the breaking point that you will want at all costs want to avoid any complications of flu sending you into hospital . Its around 15 quid for a mild scrape on your arm.. get it.

So Trump is upping his plan to end the world with his Jerusalem gambit, but then he was paid 25 million by a supporter to do that when he campaigned to be the President.

I really cant see how May can dig herself out of this hole, I cant stand her but she has taken on a role that would never end well for anyone. No deal on brexit potentially means she loses the DUP votes and crashes out while a hard border will come back in Ireland.. stuff of nightmares for them we may as well bring back Cromwell:crying:

Us guys are notorious for not wanting to go to the doctor when we should. Earlier this year my wife reckoned that a skin tag thing on my back had gotten bigger & that I should get it checked out. It took some convincing, but eventually I relented & went to the doctor about it. While it turned out benign (they did a needle biopsy), the doctor suggested I have a full checkup & blood tests etc, as it had been quite a while (ie many years!) since I had anything done. These tests showed up some "anomalies", & so it is now 6-8 months later & over that time I have had an ECG, heart stress tests, CT Scans, Renal Ultrasounds & a battery of blood tests (even a gene mutation test!!).

The results? While my ticker appears to be OK, it seems I only have 50% kidney capacity left now (they reckon I would have been born with less than 100% to begin with). I have to have my blood pressure taken every 3 months from now on plus a kidney function blood test every 6 mths - any deterioration & it's back to the specialist. Needless to say my family weren't thrilled to hear that I may have to come looking for a kidney one day! Haha!

I also had to see a haematologist for more tests. So it also turns out my blood is too thick - producing too many red blood cells - & is at a level which leaves me at somewhat of a high risk of blood clots or a stroke! I have had to take aspirin daily for the past couple of months to try & thin my blood out, & have to go back in early December to see if that is working. If not, a bone marrow biopsy is the next step (which the doc reckons can be a bit painful!!). Hopefully it won't come to that! (In the meantime, he said to come back straight away if I ever have chest pains or slurred speech etc!).

Considering this all started with the little skin thing on my back, each of the doctors has said to me "I suppose this has all come as a bit of a shock to you?". You can imagine my response! When they asked if I am feeling ok, I said that I was before, but I am not so sure now!!!

I suppose the moral to all this, as Perdita has importantly pointed out, is that you should always go to the doctor no matter how small your condition/illness is, or how much a waste of time you think it might be. Again, as Perdita said, it is better to find some things out sooner rather than later. After her own health scare late last year, my wife insisted I go to the doc this time. If I hadn't found all this out now, & hopefully can take steps to control/monitor it all, then it may have been a much bigger problem further down the track.......

(Sorry to inflict this little rant on you guys, but I am feeling a bit anxious leading up to my return visit to the haematologist in December - I am a bit 'doctored out' at the moment!)

---

I went back to the haematologist yesterday & all good!! My blood pressure is ok & the daily aspirin seems to be doing its job, so no bone marrow biopsy needed (yet) - woo hoo!! :thumbsup: :cheer:


Glad to see you back, Dazzle!


Still a couple of weeks to go, but I would like to wish everyone on Soapboards a very Merry Christmas & a Happy & Prosperous New Year!!
