Good Morning/Afternoon Dear Peeps

Sorry I have not visited lately but last couple of weeks have been very upsy downsy for me and I just felt I could not come on and moan about it. Just tried to keep myself upbeat with the funny side of things.

Fact is my car door bashed me on the head when I was unloading from passenger side and I needed ambulance etc etc.
Blood everywhere.
No stitches...forehead has no fat so just ripped skin and lump
Won't go into details. You don't need to hear them. Feeling better now.

Oh dear, you poor thing!
I'm glad you're feeling better now.
Take care of yourself.
🥰

It's absolutely lashing down here.. verrry wet... and a neighbour over the road is having trees chopped down, and the guys are soaked, while putting the branches through the noisy shredder...

I had an accident yesterday.. which caused me to rip open the palm of my hand....its quite painful but no need for a Doctor. However I'm having trouble keeping plasters on it... :(

Ooh that does painful. Hope it heals quickly! 🤗
 
It's been an exhausting day. Work was fine. Doc for physical? Ugh. CHF, HPB, pre-diabetes, vision going downhill and need cataract surgery. At least the hiatal hernia isn't doing anything awful. She gave me a list as long as last week of appointments that I MUST make asap. Cardiologist, ophthalmologist, dermatologist, mammogram, nurse appointment to have my ears flushed, the list goes on. Yeah. Sure.

DD says she hasn't got a single spare minute to take me to any of it before the new year. And try to get all appointments on the same day at the same facility. More of the yeah, sure.

Yanno what I wanna do? None of it! Dammit. I'm tired of "doctoring" and coming and going and being tested for everything from dandruff to athlete's foot.

Pith on it. I should just go buy another car and take myself to and fro at my leisure or at least on my own timeline.

I went through that early this year. You don't know your falling apart until you go to the Dr. ! 🙄

We spent the entire afternoon at the Dentist office. Both of us needed to have a tooth surgically removed. Both were infected.

I'm going to try to eat something, then do nothing for the rest of the evening. Good night! 😴
 
Was able to go over and feed the ferals last evening at about 5:15 pm, but only the long haired orange one showed up. It was slightly flooded back there. Luckily the 3 established were there this AM but not the newer un-neutered male. He could be stuck on the other side of the gulch since it has water in it. There has been days when I don't see him.

I just had a call from the garage... they found the back box on the exhaust is broken so they're going to have to weld on a new one.. they found Brake discs corroded... and a small oil leak albeit not excessive.

They can order the parts today and have the work done by tomorrow, so I can use the car on Thursday to get to the hospital but they won't have time to do the MOT... so as the MOT runs out on the 4th of January, I'll have to book it back into the garage after Christmas ... he's quoted an interim figure of £500

Ugh, Holly.....that's frustrating, and too much money, and then, the MOT still needing t be done, and so soon......:mad:

but at least they say you can have it back in time to use it for Thursday. I was concerned they might not do that.:rolleyes:

yes good advice. I have the car fully serviced every year.. and when I took the car into this new place this morning, he asked me if they should do the service, and I said no... just leave it until we get these repairs done, and I'll have it done in the New Year...Point being that I want to see how they treat me with regard the Exhaust, and the few other repairs that need doing first..

Oh, now I've read this other post of yours.
Good thinking, on waiting for the MOT, anyway.

Pulling my hair out trying to track down my refund for a coat I sent back on Dec. 2nd and they received on Dec 8th. There’s no acknowledgement they have it, just my tracking slip. It was a real joy dealing with the chat bot. I guess it could be because of the Christmas rush. I need to relax and hope all goes smoothly.

The stores are insane. I needed bread and milk and somehow that cost me $60. I needed a few more things to make Nuts N Bolts. It’s been years since I made those.

We’re going to have a green Christmas (yay) because of all the rain that’s falling when I go walking. The ski hills will be white, which is great for the economy.

@hearlady, you're right about that. She kept telling me what good health I'm in. If that's the case, why all those stupid appointments that just can't wait?

I'm telling ya, I'm done. I'm tired. I just want them to leave me the eff alone!

Perhaps, decide either on your own, or ask that doctor, which one or two, to prioritise first, or else, to put them in an order of importance?????
And then, schedule for that one or two, and then, secretly plan to back-burner and delay, on the others for a while????

Just an idea. Possibly a bad idea or an unnecessary one.
They might order themselves, or delay themselves.... when they are being scheduled.
 
While my wife has time off playing with her favorite grandson, I am cooking one of my favorite dishes from my college days. Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup, chopped and dried onions (healthier than dried, mashed potatoes from days passed,) either some Hamburger meat or eggs, a shot of lemon juice, either some Olive or Avocado Oil, and an assortment of spices, like Cayenne Pepper, Red Pepper, Basil Leaves, chopped Chives, and whatever. This dinner makes me feel really young again, like a college kid, LOL

And yes, after dinner I continue taking <Sample Driver's License Knowledge Tests - California DMV> for renewing my driving license tomorrow. If I pass the vision and knowledge tests, the license will be valid till my 93rd birthday without restrictions. (My last fender-bender was with a rental car in 2015 on a campground in Alaska.) BTW, the current online practice tests are easier (more like common sense and logic) than the old paper tests that were more knowledge based.

Lucky Ducky Me, I can drive 5 more years but have to wear glasses. 25 years ago I had cataract surgeries and could see great, but the good times are over.

I got out to the grocery to pick up this weeks loss leaders. Half a spiral ham @.97lb, aspargus .97lb, xlarge frozen shrimp, 4.99lb. I also bought a coffee creamer, pepperment chocolate. for 1.99. I have never tried one of these flavored creamer. I use half and half but thought it might be fun to try at such a good price.

I played myself as a tilt a whirl last night in the bathroom. The fall was broken by my hard head striking the corner of the tub enclose. I certain thought there would be blood, surely I had cracked open my forehead. Was so relieved when I pulled my hand away, nothing. It is bruised but there is no bump.

I decided to put one of my walkers in there as I have fallen in there before. This way I won't whip around to sit down and lose my balance if I get dizzy.

I am sorry to hear that so many of you are sick or putting up with those inconveniences that we all will have from time to time. As usual, we all will do what we have to be independent as can in our circumstances.
