HH all you noisers facing up to life's challenges, you truly will never be alone, as long as there's the noise, and the good people therein
had a few 'surprise' phone calls about appointments this past week, but all good, just follow ups, one from the hospital as to my most recent cardiac event, seeing the doctor who helped me recover, tomorrow
End of the month, it's one with my own cardiac specialist, sees me once a year, and that's not a bad thing as it's a 3 hour commute round trip
September first week, an MRI on my back, as my Sciatica at times, has me crippled when it comes on, fortunately, not all the time, but you pay for the sins of your youth in your 'Golden Years'
Whoever called them that needs his chookies booted imho
I walk every day and Georgia has been a God's end after losing our Beau, 5 years ago
We walk at least 2-3 miles every day, and that helps keep my joints moving
My troubles are small compared to some of yours, and I send my most sincere positive thoughts for any of you going through the shit that life throws at us from time to time
And of September, I have an appointment for a cognitive test...FFS...me ?? An urbane, erudite, individual, who has scaled the very heights of a high school education as a Bhoy...aye...OK, 'O levels'
Those French and Latin lessons stood me in good stead after school..."Amo, Amas, Amatum..."Aye awrite son, staun over there, and wear yer goggles in case the welder gives you a flash and you end up with a guide dug..." Yes, the yards were not a place for the faint of heart ;-)
I know a word of twelve, swearies are my favourite, because I come by them honestly, as many of us do, and when they tested me last time (here's five words to remember...we'll ask you later to repeat them..."
Two hours in..."OK, what were the five words you were to recall ?"
Me: "Eh...erm...umm...oh right..."
Reeled off four in quick succession...only one I missed...
CHURCH !!!
Ha Ha Ha Ha...turned out OK though, no cognitive decline...all good, so hopefully the same result this time around...think they just keep you on the conveyor belt on a yearly basis, so they can collect the Govt grants ;-)
Right, so...where was I ? Who the fuck are you ?...
Onward, and upwards Amigos
Keep on keeping on and again, Best to you and yours
Cheers
Yours Truly
'Mental as anything'
