The Daily Gaggle

My visit to Rosemary this afternoon was more rewarding than usual, she seemed much brighter and talkative, however, she is still not eating as well as she should, her main meals are left mostly untouched, but today with the help of a pretty young nurse,  Rosemary ate most of her desert but still declined the main meal. Maybe with a little more perseverance will see Rosemary back to eating normally once more, The Company Director of  Hawksbury cleaning and, "Bowyer's' Carpet laying and cleaning, visited his mum Rosemary with his lovely wife Samantha and beautiful daughter Charlotte.

Not impressed with John Hunter Hospital. They have lost Mum's bottom denture, don't make sure she has at least her top denture in when served meals, think that broccoli and carrots are soft food and give Mum a cup of hot water, tea bag and milk and expect her to be able to make her own tea. Duh! In addition, the unit manager Glenda comes across as an unbending hard case with tunnel vision. She gives not an iota of satisfaction that my concerns are being met - Even when things are obviously not! Further, she told me yesterday that Mum would be transferred to Wyong Hospital ASAP. However, I spoke to Wyong Hospital this morning and they said they have no record of a transfer request. When I told Glenda about this, she said no, a transfer request has definitely been made. Argh.   Posted by Chris B. son of Vest.

On a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment. "The trouble with you English is that you are too stuffy.  You set yourselves apart too much.  You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us.  Look at me . . .   I'm me!  I have a little Italian in me, a bit of Greek blood, a little Irish and some Spanish blood.   What do you say to that?" The Englishman lowered his newspaper, looks over his glasses and replied: "How very sporting of your mother!" -------------------------------------------------. Getting there, will post soon.

Having initially named the first two ships HMS Daring and HMS Dauntless, the Naming Commi Royal Navy News The Royal Navy is very proud to announce its new fleet of Type 45 destroyers. Having initially named the first two ships HMS Daring and HMS Dauntless, the Naming Committee has, after intensive pressure from Brussels , renamed them HMS Cautious and HMS Prudence. The next five ships are to be HMS Empathy, HMS Circumspect, HMS Nervous, HMS Timorous and HMS Apologist.

I shall not be posting for a while as there is so much more to do to settle in although finding a home for a half a garage full of miscellaneous  clutter will take time plus I have a visit to the local hospital planned for Thursday 11. I have been very poorly since the move - all due to the extra bodily activity which in turn has taken away about eight kilos - but as there are no stairs to climb I expect it will eventually return  Thank you all for your recent greetings,  my mailing address remains the same IE the PO box Back soon ....Vest

       Title  " Piddled Off"       It was late October 16 when it was recommended  I have my bladder checked. early November. I saw the Specialist in Kanwal NSW , He recommended a three day urine specimen test a blood test and a CT Scan, it was also noted that my hospital appointment would be shortly before or after Christmas .        My urine looked quite normal during these tests together with the blood test on Wednesday Nov 16,       On November 29 I had the CT Scan once with dye and another without dye..

On 1st December my urine became darker for two days then cleared to normal but on the 5th of December my urine became bloody and my passing urine was becoming painful..       Tuesday 6th Dec after enough worry my son drove m...

      I don't have full access to The Daily Telegraph digital but the Sunday paper today has enough info to reveal some awful truths regarding a particular dye inoculated into the bloodstream which enables the Radiographer's within the x ray industry to clarify imaging and reveal better results..       There is no evidence that any animal or clinical studies were specially, submitted or evaluated You may wonder why I have an axe to grind on these matters, Well it would seem I have become a victim of this sinister process and having had this treatment on the 29th day of Nov I have been subject to nausea shivering and some pain in the nether regions and also making my urine go a strange colour. these symptoms are off putting when it comes to sitting down and writing.       Explosive documents reveal the Government's watchdog approved use of debilitating X Ray dye without checking US studies that showed it...

     It was twenty years ago when My wife and I finally retired and sold the large six bed home  with pool and other trappings and moved to the Central Coast of New South Wales  OZ.      We bought a  two bed relocatable home in Budgewoi and lived there for nearly four years until changes to our surroundings became untenable and we sold up and rented a  waterfront property together  with our eldest son. .We lived there for nearly five years until the place was sold and we moved to where we are now living A two storey 4 bed DG ; we have been here nearly eleven years.

Spare a thought for one charity that is not depending on food and medicine, It is Happiness and laughter at a time in a child's life when laughs are all but impossible to come by. For the 'Make-A-Wish' Foundation Charity, it is sobering to learn it is struggling to deliver the services it needs. So at this time of the year tailor made for splurging when you are having a flutter on 'Melbourne Cup day, why not make it an each way bet and send a bit of that dosh you are about lose to fill the wallet of some fat greasy Bookie; to the Make-A-Wish Foundation donation as well. That way no matter what happens at the Melbourne cup or even the Pommie Derby and not forgetting Uncle Sam's Kentucky(fried?) Derby, you know you will be backing a winner. ......................................................................................
