The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

I have to catch up on yesterday's bike racing from the Netherlands at some point.

It was superb. Let me tell you what happened... On second thoughts, just watch it!

Feeling down today as I have had a bit of bleeding over the weekend from my kidney stent. I was warned that this could be intermittent but it has still made me miserable.

Where did my 25 year old body go?

GWS!

Your younger body is hanging out somewhere with our younger bodies!

Morning................... I give up
Sorry all our receptionist are busy right now.......you are 18 in the queue

Apparently, my Android phone can hold its place in a queue for me and let me know when I finally make it to the head of it. I haven't actually tried using the function yet though. Perhaps your phone can do that?

Try phoning 111 and getting an emergency appointment through them.
I'm thinking more about any infection that will delay getting the tooth seen to. They'd not work on teeth if you'd an infection in the mouth. Get that out of the way.

Morning. Lay for a bit longer again. A bit overcast and breezy but milder.

Wordle done in my usual 4.

I’ve had my bus pass nearly 3 years now and have yet to use it. Really must try and make some use of it as it’s one of the only benefits I get. Even just to jump on the bus into Perth and browse the shops and have a coffee would pass a few hours on days I am at a loose end.

What you doing in Kent?

Morning all... Good luck with getting the tooth sorted Numbnuts. I've also got a dentist appointment this afternoon with the Hygienist at the very app time 'tooth hurty'

Wordle in 4.

I know what you mean, just take it easy and drink plenty of water. How much longer will you have the stent in for? it's a big relief when they take it out, I'll tell you a tip when the time comes!

Thanks in advance!

It went in just over 3 weeks ago and was listed for this week for removal - clinic is Thurs/Fri but I never thought that was going to happen due to Easter.

I will ring after the Easter break to see where we are at.

Drinking loads of water (2-3l per day) but the consequence of which is that I am forever peeing. ☹️

As an aside I can get 2l down but 3l is a big ask even with a touch of squash in!

Well......my Home Base, M&S trip is out. My body ran out of steamI felt good yesterday but may have done enough.

Say no you can't.

Seriously, phone 111 and explain what is going on.

Can you afford a private extraction?

Widens your choice.

I was told that it doesn't have to be just water, it can be any fluid even beer . One of the chaps in the ward that I was in recommended putting a teaspoon of Apple cider vinegar in a glass of water for stopping future stones to reform.

I didn't do a lot better on the Quordle than I did on the Wordle, only two out of four for me today.

Quardle fries my brain. Wordle is quite sufficient for me thanks. 🤪

I failed at wordle. MrsD got it in 4. So near but the last letter failed to click into place

I prefer quordle to wordle, it's more of a challenge .

Endeavor to persevere, NN.
I used to feel a little stress from the job but now it is health issues that occupy my thoughts, mostly people I care about and not me. My buddy across the street has quit peeing blood from his prostate reaming and is now stout enough to walk a mile or so to the coffee shop and back which we will do this afternoon. He alleges he can go a whole hour without a pee now.
Today is upperbody day so I will hit that in a bit.
Prime has a new season of Murder In for our delectation.
There are a bunch of orts in the fridge, none of which is meal sized by itself. Perhaps we will have Goulash/spagetti sauce/ Stroganoff/ Roast Beef with a little noodle and rice upon which to eat it. Mrs 12 always plates up twice as much as she can make herself eat and saves the rest so we have an ort abundance. Of course there is also pineapple cocnut cake, walnut raisin bread and Haagen Daz vanilla as well.
Be safe and well.
