Wednesday 9 January Ramble
January 10, 2013 — Headless“I have no yesterdays, time took them away, tomorrow may not be mine, but I have today. So wish you a very good day.” – Unknown
Well that was a null sleep! Terrible time fighting acid and pain and got to bed to sleep about 4:30am in the end. Then awake again at about 6:30am, then up at 7:45am. Head downstairs for meds and a cuppa. Bugger must invest in one of those Tea’s Made things that were big sellers in the 70 & 80’s and just wake to a cup of tea when the alarm clock goes off next to me – or just make a flask of tea to keep beside the bed maybe. And no I’m not about to court danger and just insist that I could train or ask Sue to make it for me – hell I am enjoying living still at the moment 
Need meds anyway. So login to laptop, boil kettle, take drugs, start work – get lots of work done then get breakfast and get ready to face the day about 11am – having completed a task that took quite a bit of concentration. Hold a special boys meeting with Jacob and Lachie about the Wednesday plans, and offer feedback on how they have assisted in the morning – I know, making home into work now, but they enjoy it and have some constructive things to add too. The only thing I didn’t do was take minutes But honestly they played their games, tidied their rooms, made beds, fed themselves, etc without any need to intervene from me and it worked brilliantly. I got so much done it was great, and it feels so great to have accomplished something important that took a lot of concentration from me without a hitch – it felt like old days

I got so much done it was great, and it feels so great to have accomplished something important that took a lot of concentration from me without a hitch – it felt like old days Take a break to get lunch and get my head back in order as with anything that takes a lot of concentration with me, I have to really work hard to hold it focused. Manage to feel like I’m recovering a bit. Get a follow up call from the Nurse Maude DN and have an appointment with the NM Doc on Friday about how to better deal with another incident like Saturdays. And to get some more meds from the Chemist – yep just when I though that I had room again – nope more meds for me Sue gets home and takes Bessie for her WOF – she passes and gets some more rego too, so all legal again now for the next 6 months anyway. The day is getting bloody hotter too so that is zapping what little energy I have left – 29 degrees now according to the temp gauges – not as bad as Aussie thankfully. It is terrible what is happening over there. All you folk please take care of yourselves.

Very tremory and unsteady on my feet, and we are heading out for dinner at La Porchetta in Riccarton with good friends of ours the Tuckey Family (Paul, Sandra and kids) from Invercargill. Have a great night and lovely catch up with them all. Have dessert and coffees at Coffee Culture while the kids ‘attack’ Time-Zone (video type games store next door) – perfect both parties happy Starting to wain quite badly so head for home. Say good byes – it has been a lovely evening – thank you so much all. Home with the intent to blog, watch some TV and hopefully sleep. Well the last bit happened in about 2 Min’s I think of getting inside the front door. I actually think that I had a full on absence seizure as I even now at 3:30am can’t tell you anymore than walking in the door sitting on the couch then getting woken by Sue at 1am to go to bed. I don’t know if I said good night t the boys, not sure how the laptop got to the coffee table, etc. And have to struggle to recall what happened when we were out, but I can step forward slowly to account for that. I now just have to talk to Sue and hopefully fill in the blanks of what happened. So sorry for the tardiness of the blog today – it was going to be earlier but it seems that a big days good effort in the early part was paid for from the energy of the evening. I really have to learn to balance this out (anyway it is also 26 degrees and to bloody hot to sleep still). Hope all have had a grand day, and it hasn’t been to energy zapping. Take care. The tremors have just really kicked in strong so medication on board and back to bed I think.
