No stressful appointments for a bit, and appear to be winning that mice battle. So maybe I should be able to get back on track within a few days. Goal is to get back to the 6's

Yesterday. My eye hospital appointment.

i hadn't let on the last few days how much I didn't want to go. I was stressed over everything possible about it. The distance. The nighttime driving coming home. Crossing the border from Wales into England. Checking the rules about attending hospital appointments on the Welsh government site. Checking the eye hospital's site about whether to attend or not, since my appointment was sent out just before all these upgrade lockdowns. The eye hospital site said if you have an appointment with us, then attend it, do not cancel. Having every negative thought under the sun. Fighting all this mental stuff and more.

And then on Sunday when my Australian daughter Skyped, I talked/ranted/went on non stop for a full hour and a half that I wasn't going, I didn't want to go, that the hospital had a bad rating on one site for Covid, etc etc etc...

My poor daughter fell asleep with me ranting I wasn't going to go with every argument I had at my disposal. She had not been able to get a word in edgeways.

I turned off the Skype call...

So, I knew at this point on Sunday I was going to have to change my attitude if I had any chance attending that eye hospital appointment on Tuesday. And I was still hoping we would get a bad snowfall so I was unable to attend.

It wasn't easy. This kind of thinking couldn't continue. It certainly wasn't healthy for me. With every negative thought or argument with myself I had to put a positive thought in its place. So I was doing 2 days of this continuously.

Come Tuesday morning, a beautiful sunny day. That bad weather snowfall I was hoping for let me down...

So I did all my precautions, got everything together. And got on the motorway. My early morning driving practice last week had stood me in good stead. I was confident with my driving (I have done virtually no distance driving in this new car since lockdown in March). Well. Not so much as confident, I don't think that is the right word, but I went back to my usual automatic mode that we all have after a lifetime of driving.

I was shocked at the amount of traffic on the motorways. Lorries and wagons moving goods, well yes, but all these private cars like mine?

Got to Liverpool, the tunnel was fine. I had been worried I might get turned back or questioned because I use my FastTag to get through the tunnel, and that obviously shows to the computer that I live in Wales.

Got into LIverpool and the vicinity of the hospital. No parking for me, so I had to go in search of a parking space. Again I am totally shocked at the amount of buses they have (practically all our buses, in Wales, have been cancelled), yet there was bus after bus after bus going past me. I am literally opening my eyes in wonder. So many people, some wearing masks, many not, some socially distancing, some blatantly not. So I had to wear my face/mask protection in the street on the way to the hospital. I hadn't wanted to do that so early because I knew I was going to struggle to keep my mask on in the hospital for the length of time I was going to need it on (my asthma, but I still wear a mask for my protection, and I took several spare ones, so I could put a fresh one one when needed, and sanitising face wipes to clean my face and hands between each change of mask).

There was a nurse at the eye hospital entrance and she took my name. Oh by the way I had made a sign with my deafness etc and some more details on the back, to make it easier for all. I had done it in a rushed 5 minutes before I had set off. This will be my art contribution for today with my name blacked out, I can see how maybe to improve it a bit better, but it worked fantastically in the hospital. I had it on display in front of me at all times between the different people I saw, and different name calls which I have no chance hearing anyway, but in these mask wearing times I might as well be blind and deaf for knowing what is spoken and asked of around me.

To cut a very long appointment short in terms of words, and I would love to describe the positivity (and hilarity, there were senses of humour too) of this visit at St Paul's eye hospital (but I would take up an entire day's thread if I did). So I will say this.The whole eye appointment was kind nurses who all had the time for you (they didn't before Covid, it was all rushed and mad and no one explained properly and I was left bewildered with the pre Covid appointments). Sometimes I had two nurses in attendance because of my deafness with them trying to explain. But everyone explained carefully every test and step of the way. They were doing this with all patients. Not just me, because usually eye patients have careers for helpers and that wasn't allowed in these Covid times. The specialist was brilliant too. I cannot talk highly enough of the care and consideration at St Paul's Eye Hospital. I would actually go as far as to say, that for me a s a deaf person, that this was the best visit ever at St Paul's Eye Hospital in all the 20 years plus I have been attending there.

Driving home in the Liverpool rush hour traffic in the dark and headlights and motorways was a doddle. I feel okay about driving again.

My eyes. I do have some problems and the specialist prescribed some new stuff. I see them again in 6 months time. But will I these Covid times?

I would like to say this. You need to attend your hospital and specialist appointments despite the fear mongering on the news etc. Project fear takes over with these continued enforced lockdowns. Especially with those of us who live on our own and have no contact with others. I need my car to get about with being mobility impaired, and I need my eyes in a condition that enables me to drive.

It was a very good and positive day yesterday. I have blacked out my name, obviously, and I will redesign it a little, but it was simple and immediately effective. My piece of graphic design for today!!!

Well we could say all’s well that ends well but congratulations for overcoming those very real fearful stresses and glad that your day went well for you. Good idea for the effective sign.

good evening all :)

4.9 today

we were supposed to get a smart meter fitted today but when we got our phone call before the engineer arrived we had to fill in a questionaire and because we're over a certain age ;) and there are a high level of cases locally the engineer called it off. He would have attended at our own risk if we had insisted but we didn't :angelic:
He explained that we would have to rebook when things have settled down and then I commented that covid must be making his life a bit odd, he told me that ours was the second cancelled appointment today, the first was to have been to a couple who had both tested positive and were in quarantine :(

We used the time to do a bit of a job on mum's gate that needed repair so that's a win.

Hope your day is treating you kindly :)

@gennepher - I love today's Popeye, he looks so diligent :joyful: glad no 'meeces' currently and I
hope things went well today :)

@dunelm - is that the gold flecked yellow paper they have on their website? Looks lovely, as does your tree, good bark texture :)

@Muddy Cyclist - Happy birthday to mrs MC :joyful: and I hope things went smoothly for you today :)

art bit -
trying out a touch of a couple of new colours I got in the latest batch.

Hi @geefull - yes, that’s the gold flecked yellow paper. Fettling your mums gate - good use of time. I like the colours that you used with the house, it blends perfectly with the landscape.

Morning all...
Swipey says 4.8 ➡️ and... seemed to work throughout the night despite the fact I am sure I was sleeping on the side of sticky pain. Ho hum. Thinking of having a swipey once a month only to save money and see what's what for two weeks in every month. As I manage with a combination of low carb and meds and I think I have been relatively stable since the run up to my last bloods and..not gonna lie to y'all - you know money is squeezy-tight for freelancers - I think it is the most prudent thing to do just now.

Also I could do with giving my arms a couple of weeks to heel up thanks to the miracle properties of Betnovate and BioOil.

So I will just admire pics and blether some randomness as the next two and a half weeks are going to be spent trying to knock my professional journalism portfolio into shape.
I have a ton of radio clips to sort out... and that can become very over-whelming in terms of feeling that I haven't achieved anything in a day so my plan is to do one bit of written stuff for the portfolio (I have four tournaments from the LTA and the two pieces of work commissioned for British Rowing) and then spend the rest of the day working through the clips. Once I have updated the written stuff, then I am returning to my Linguaphone French, then German (as refreshers) and then teaching myself Spanish.

There will be occasional stuff for Britwatch as well - footy guy will still be writing and then will start the ramp up for the Australian Open.

Sounds like a plan. Now... if any of you fine folk can cure me of crippling arthritic pain in my right hand, I'd be very grateful!
Cutting down on the swipey sounds like a plan - with your good Fbs readings you could perhaps do stabby for a month if you can stand it. Unfortunately I have yet to find anything for my own arthritic pain apart from my infra red sauna.

Good Morning and 5.8 for me today.

I am so behind on posts so will spend some time today's catching up. I did not look at the forum yesterday, it was Mrs MCs birthday we spent time looking back through photo albums, oldletters and cards a sort of day of reminiscing.

My opticians appointment went well and the scan of my eyes shows that no change since my last scan 2 years back. My cataracts have got worse though but not bad enough to remove. Whilst there I asked about a hearing test, which they did straight after, hearing so down I need Hearing aids, so choices spend a lot of money for one or take the NHS route?

Wet here so day indoors and re look at the Eulogy I have done for my friends funeral. His younger brother phoned me yesterday and also emailed me some letters that my friend wrote whilst travelling when he was 20 so more information to think about and possible include.

Keep safe and use the day as you wish.
Reminiscing sounds like a good thing to do when you can’t get out and about - light on the pocket as well. Hearing aids - I thought that the NHS ones were supposed to be pretty up to date on the tech side - my dad got some in France having refused to pay over £1,000 for fancy rechargeable ones. Specsavers do discounted ones I think and there are organisations like helpforhearing.org. Good luck with it and hope that the cataracts don’t impinge too much.

Good morning everyone from another smashing start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of liver, onions and bacon with mushrooms and cauli mash came flatlining in at 5.0 this am

Grandchild number 6 yesterday to brighten up the day. At 14 months she in now growing here repertoire of pre-word sounds and songs. She has now figured out how to open packs of baby wipes and can have at least half a dozen wipes out in the blink of an eye with which she happily begins to clean wooden floors, lower parts of furniture and anything in her reach - should she be on zero hours?

Art today, joining up paint brush splodges on backing paper and then some splattering. Hope everyone has a most wonderful International Bin Day and that the odds are forever in your favour, especially if involved in mouse wars. Koffy time.

5.3 today. A really hard frost this morning but the walk was lovely because it wasn't windy ,- so didn't feel chilly even though it was minus 1°.
Another busy day with classes. First one starts in 20 minutes.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen. A trifle wet here in Tilehurst Towers, better turn the tap off, outside it's damp.

A 6.2 this morning, cheese laden cauliflower and mustard mash.

Here will be furniture moving with Mrs J cleaning the leather sofas, me and me's contribution will be making tea and offering unwelcome words of advice.

Well fellow posters, painters and gamers have great day, stay safe, stay well and stay sane.

I must depart and prod the sleeping dragon.

I can't do stabby - it really isn't terribly practical when writing every day. My rationale is that on Sunday I am going to see what the selfish hoardes have left in Sainsbury's so I have a good two weeks of fresh grub and more importantly NO tennis to screw up meal times. So the next two weeks are very good candidates to go Swipey free and ... more importantly... to batch cook my little socks off so I have quick meals on the go - a life of protein bars for breakfast, waitrose cup-soups and then something out the freezer for 2-3 weeks isn't terribly appealing but hey ho!

I have anti-imflams in my prescription but only for a month and then they stop me having them for a while - and so have switched to Turmeric and Black Pepper which makes the pain manageable but doesn't quite eradicate it in the temporary way the anti-inflams do so I might put in a call to the surgery when I have the stamina to be on hold for an hour! See what the kindly doc says... but having just got my innards working more regularly - I am loathe to upset that delicate balance with more meds that will grind everything back to a halt. Lord this is exhausting playing chess with my body, without even the extravagance of The Queen's Gambit!

Heard some medics very properly having second Pfizer jabs.

Since one dose does not reach the more than barely acceptable level of protection of only c.50% for a vaccine, it seems very proper.
I hear many medics having second jabs have felt quite unwell so probably a delay for the elderly is appropriate.

I see one of the foreign vaccines is being said to be barely acceptable at c.50% effectiveness so its interesting double standard to Pfizers instructions.

D.
Later heard a guy who studies the effectiveness of vaccines on More or Less this am say it depends on what time period one looks at!

As I see it, if you disregard the first three weeks after first jab, the comparative efficacy is more than 50% w.r.t. a placebo group.

Also shown in the radio program the fallacy of the comparison between the new variant and old being just as deadly.
I always thought this statement was silly.

With the new R number re:70% faster spread, within a relatively short time period unchecked 1000x more people will die.
Horrific! please keep your heads down.

Nearly 700 cases per 100,000 per day rate in our area now, due new variant.
D.

Turmeric and black pepper sounds good - I make batches of turmeric tea and keep in the fridge. I always use fresh turmeric which I buy online and store in the freezer, taking out a few pieces as needed. I defrost then chop them up and add to simmering water together with black pepper and slices of fresh ginger. I drink a glass of it each morning. I don’t know if it helps but my mother swears by Vedic recipes - her great grandparents came to the UK from the Punjab.

Mama-bear used to have ginger and turmeric and I do start the morning these days with a lemon and ginger tea (that I also think has helped the slow traction issues) ...

By some miracle... I got through to the GP who said to maybe keep the anti-inflame until the severe pain in my thumbs flare up and I am taking a day off tomorrow and venturing (mask-cladden) into Kingston so I might get a new pair of arthritic gloves as mine have seen better days and are fraying (and were cheap from somewhere in China via Amazon!) ...

Giving myself a rest day from the workouts and wearing soft supports today. That will be one for the physio to deal with at the end of the month!

Greetings each. Head spinning with so many sub plots to keep a hold of. Here goes. @Muddy Cyclist good day reminiscing with Mrs MC, sorry about the partial hearing loss but good to have eyesight checked out. @gennepher glad the eye clinic appt went well and all the prep paid off. I was lucky enough to get my diabetic retinopathy review before LD1 - all clear again. @Krystyna23040 I took part in that survey and have a test kit to use. @RFSMarch I think the lesser spotted Swipey watching is a very sound plan. @dunelm hugs for the arthritis, winner for granddaughter. @alf_Josiah wet trifles? stop moaning and give thanks Mrs AJ looks after you so well. @lindisfel hug for living in a high positive rate area - hunker down. Phew. No Swipey here but 90 day average at 6.00 am is 4.8 - much of that would have seen me awake and walking about for 2+ hrs.

ooooh these scammers these days are getting canny - just received an automated call to my mobile telling me that my National Insurance number was being used fraudulently in Wales.

They tried a few times in a day and I just hung up .... I looked it up online and of course it is a scammy-scam-scam.. but be careful folks!

D.
The statistics are not simple to understand. For example the Oxford vaccine (after two full doses) has an efficacy of 60%, meaning it lowered Covid 19 infection by 60% compared with a control group. The more important statistic is that it was 100% effective in preventing hospitalisation due to Covid 19. This misunderstanding of data is likely to occur when research results are made public by press release rather than in "The Lancet" or similar scientific journals.

Good morning everyone from another smashing start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of liver, onions and bacon with mushrooms and cauli mash came flatlining in at 5.0 this am

Grandchild number 6 yesterday to brighten up the day. At 14 months she in now growing here repertoire of pre-word sounds and songs. She has now figured out how to open packs of baby wipes and can have at least half a dozen wipes out in the blink of an eye with which she happily begins to clean wooden floors, lower parts of furniture and anything in her reach - should she be on zero hours?

Art today, joining up paint brush splodges on backing paper and then some splattering. Hope everyone has a most wonderful International Bin Day and that the odds are forever in your favour, especially if involved in mouse wars. Koffy time.

Quick, make use of that 14 month old, throw things under tables, chairs cupboards and beds, send her to retrieve them it's a fantastic way to get Spring Cleaning done early and you don't have to move anything. :)

Good splattering and colour from you today.
