I've been doing this for some time with the bulky stuff, but tend to run out of bread, etc even tho' I try to buy double and freeze half. I don't get out much socially these day's either, once a week if that, and without the shopping trips I'd probably go round the bend as I simply wouldn't see anybody to speak to.Originally Posted by ddlooping
Just caught this, all the best Ian. Haven't flogged through the thread so don't know if it's been mentioned but co codamol bungs you up, go easy on it.
Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.
Haha! So that's why i've been struggling!
IanB - sounds like a nightmare. Hope something positive comes out of the time spent repairing anyway.
Thanks
Yeah, cocodamol was recommended by the hospital for my shoulder (tho' it was already my go-to painkiller) but I needed the max dose to be effective and that in turn gave me a wickedly upset tum so I tried to do without it for that. I still need it as the most recent seizures have taken their toll on the muscles in both arms, they hurt like hell making the physio on my left shoulder especially difficult.
Thanks
I've had more fun that's for sure, but there's still a lot of people who'd happily swap their medical problems for mine, so I try and just bumble along dealing with whatever crops up the best way I can.
My GP has asked me a couple of times if I'd experienced strange tastes/smells or deja vu prior to my having a seizure as these are seemingly common indicators one is about to happen. I hadn't, a odd feeling of *something washing over me* yes, every time so far, but yesterday I had the most intense feeling of deja vu it was almost scary. This lasted most of the morning and while I didn't have a major seizure (thankfully) I had several bouts of a *missing minute* during that time in which I suddenly snapped to but had no idea what I'd been attempting to do or had been doing, so I'm assuming they were pitit mal seizures.
Like everyone (I suppose) I'd experienced deja vu before, but this was something else entirely and by some distance the weirdest sensation I've ever felt, and one I'm in no hurry to repeat.
There's a glitch in the Matrix. :/
If the broken shoulder was painful initially, I'm now being treated for something even more so
I went to see my GP yesterday over what had been a benign for 15+ years cyst on my stomach, and also to get a fresh prescription for my new AED, Keppra. Said cyst had never given me a seconds pain/trouble in all that time, but I no longer have it, instead I'm now the not so proud owner of what he called "a very, very nasty abscess" Even allowing for swelling it must be getting on for being 4 inches in diameter
He couldn't do much with it, or I suspect he didn't want to risk it bursting over his shirt if he tried too hard, so not very gallantly, he arranged for a nurse to see me without a appt. She asked if he'd tried to squeeze it, and to be fair he had, but the main body is solid so I told her yes, but he'd had no luck, as did she when she tried the same.
It had opened during the day so at least some of the pressure had gone and I was given sterile dressings along with magnesium sulphate paste to try and draw the nastiness out, and a course of Flucloxasillin 500mg anti-biotics.
Getting the former was a pantomime as the chemists adjacent to the surgery no longer stocked it, so I reported back to the nurse who phoned the main chemists in town to ask if they did. Luckily they had some (but why, as they're both branches of Boots, one did but not the other, is beyond me) All in all, it was a bit of a adventure, my appt to see my GP was at 4.15pm, but I didn't get home till 6.20, and soaked to the skin at that as the heavens really opened on my way back.
When it rains it pours. :/
Sending you good vibes, Ian.
