Out and About Again

Our friendly Co-op  in Hampden Park

My fave shop for teeny packs of olives for £1

and loads of cruelty free household cleaning and personal care products 

all endorsed by Cruelty Free International

Today I am mainly adding Gift Bags to my store

It must be Christmas....I'm a bit bothered by all those little things like running out of food and all sorts of other stuff.

I tried to do some on-line shopping as is my usual way of feeding the pair of us, only to find that the locals have invited whole armies to stay this year so there are no more shopping slots left until Tuesday 27th December.

I'd been up all night working on my eBid Store until about 6am, when it occurred to me that it was time for my morning meds. I then googled my local co-op store and saw they opened at 7am.

My winter coat came out for the first time this winter and I wrapped myself up and had a little wander, not building my hopes up that they might have everything in stock that was on my list.

I will now try to stop slagging off the co-op here for running out of half my shopping list on a regular basis as everything I was after was there :)

Why do shops have displays of mince pies by the door so I don't see them till I am about to leave? I grabbed a couple of boxes from the store counter to replace those that I have eaten and made a mental not to go back there on Saturday to buy up any tubs of sweets they still have.

My Billy told visitors that I had eaten 4 tubs of Heroes in a week...what a cheek!...I had actually only eaten 2 and a half tubs by then....lol

Back to my story....and a progress report. Got home feeling great as I had broken my speed record for the co-op shopping...wasn't too out of breath and didn't need to stop for a water break :)

Went for a nap at around 1pm and got up at around midnight for another night shift at work

Busy Busy Busy

Haven't been to bed yet but have kept busy.

What I have done so far

1....cleared loads of stuff and either binned it or re-cycled.
2.....made some fudge which was rubbish so I chucked it.

10 ...grocery shopped on-line and remembered to buy dog toys and gluten free goodies to send to my son in Gosport
11...cooked and ate cheesy mash for my breakfast

I might have a nap in a bit 

Latest Eastbourne Expedition

Hampden Park Post Office

On Friday 24th June the Ebid crew started one of their monthly fundraising auctions which run from the 24th -28th of each month except December.

This month we were raising money for The Royal British Legion and as I had a couple of auctions up I knew I would have to make the trip to the Post Office very soon after the 28th.

Now...I hadn't been to our Post Office since we moved to our first home here in 2014. This is because I would normally use a carrier on-line only I need to print labels from their site.

Chromebook is not talking to our printer so I had to find another way of sending parcels.....hence the planned Post Office run. So...the big day (today) arrived and off I trotted .... a woman on a mission.

First off..I had to find the right road which has no signs until I had walked about 100 yards (not foreign metres as I don't do them) along the road....then a railway crossing and onto the road I was after.

I managed to find a cashpoint then noticed a sign to a Tesco store which gave me something else to think about. The Post Office was quiet, handed over my parcel and bought stamps and started off home.

I saw the sign to the Tesco store again so decided to stop off and pick up some goodies.

I arrived home...put away the groceries (cream cakes and doughnuts were necessary) and stashed away all the luxury goods like laundry liquid and milk.

I conked out within an hour of getting back and had a nap...woke up feeling more alive and glad I made the trip out,

I Voted To Leave The EU

Although I am glad to be out of the United States of Europe, this has to be the funniest response to the 'leave' result I have seen so far.

Feeling Creative

Went on-line and bought these

I have no idea what I am meant to do with these as I have never used them and haven't drawn much at all in so many years I can't remember how many.

I can only put this sudden desire to put pencil to paper down to being very busy building my new website.

It won't be live until about November just in time for the festive silliness in December. There has been a Christmas page added already....planning ahead as usual.

Back in Business

Since I bought a round tuit I have no excuse for putting things off that I hadn't done because I hadn't got a round tuit.

I think it is working a bit too well though as in the last couple of weeks I have added 5  stores to eBid and have worked some nights until after midnight.

You can find me on ebid HERE

I have also been filling in surveys to earn some money of my own.

This time next year I could be a millionaire....lol

I Can't wait!!!!

I am really wanting to see this movie

"After slipping through a mirror, Alice (Mia Wasikowska) finds herself back in Underland with the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Her friends tell her that the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) is in a funk over the loss of his family. Hoping to save his loved ones, Alice steals the Chronosphere from Time (Sacha Baron Cohen) to travel into the past. While there, she encounters the younger Hatter and the evil Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter)."

I don't remember much of the above being in the plot in the book I read...lol

Finally Got Around To It

I have now bought a new domain for the website I have had planned for ages.

My new site will be called "My Lovely Stuff" and will be home to lots of stuff that I think is lovely...lol

I will be adding news about the monthly eBid fundraising auctions as well as selling and promoting my lovely stuff, including my favourite on-line stores and info sites.

WATCH THIS SPACE!!

Enjoying the Summer Sun :)

Sweltering in the heat now. It has been that muggy that our Venus Fly Trap looks like it has given up the will to live.

I have moved the plant to the kitchen window sill as I am convinced that 5 people smoking within feet of it can't be doing it any good. We don't actually have 5 smokers here but nearly all of our visitors smoke. I have to go to another room when the smoke gets too thick. Just glad I have a Chromebook and don't rely on a desk top pc or I wouldn't get much done.

I found one of my websites I had forgotten to add to for ages so that is another project that will help keep me off the streets. I noticed it included some marketing banners I added to it that actually still work so I am planning to get the marketing sorted out this month as I kinda miss all that techy stuff.

One of my claims to fame is that I used to market Woolworths...lol

Lost in Hampden Park

So....several times on the way to the co-op in Hampden Park I looked down a side road and could see a building with an odd looking roof and wondered what it was.

Curiosity got the better of me this day on the way home from my trip out to grocery shop and I turned down the left turning to see what this building was about. Turned out it was the building that houses (for anyone interested)

Gateway Christian Church

Getting back to my story.

I reached the building (and realising there was nothing there to write home about) was feeling a bit clever so instead of walking back the way I came I decided to walk round to the side of the building. In my head I was thinking that if I did that and carried on walking for long enough I would eventually end up in my street or somewhere nearby.

Wasn't going to happen...lol Instead I found myself on a long road that I didn't recognise which consisted of lots of turn offs to cul de sacs which had no obvious escape routes. As I walked I got more and more scared. I was totally lost in a place I had ended up in for the first time.

Questions at the time were;

Where the heck am I?

How come I don't recognise anything that looks like home?

Why didn't I bring my bottle of water?

Who will perform CPR within 4 minutes if I have another cardiac arrest when there isn't a soul around?

I sent a text to my man telling him I was lost and he texted back with

"OK"

I was getting hotter and hotter and really panicking by then...then I had a brainwave as a bus overtook me. I reasoned that the bus route would take me to familiar surroundings so decided to follow the bus route, noting how close to home I was getting by the destination notices on each bus stop.

I could totally identify with Brian Tracy's Sahara Desert experience.

Brian Tracy Reference here

After several bus stops and a sit down under cover, I looked about and could see the flats near our home in the distance. Finally, I came off the long road I was on and took a right turn into the road that leads to our road. I arrived home very hot and tired but in one piece.

My man has related his side of the story to me and his family and it turns out that his one word message was sent in panic mode. He said that he was thinking of getting his mobility scooter out so he could come and find me. I am ashamed to say I laughed at his gesture. I had a picture in my mind of him travelling in circles and not catching up with me because the battery went flat then a crane having to bring the scooter home with him still sat on it.

I haven't got lost in Hampden Park since....but I still have time to get lost some place else.

In Reflective mode

This one of my favourite drawings. My sister drew this from a photograph of me from the 60's. I don't recall this pose but the photo was taken in Southsea before my family moved back to Gosport when I was 6 so I must have been very small when this was taken.

I have the original drawing here at home where it is still waiting to be framed and properly shown off.

In the post this week

The jammy case was for me...lol

This also arrived this week...I can see a pattern forming

Today in the post was a note from Royal Mail telling me they wanted me to pay them £3 because someone sent me something and didn't pay the right postage. I have no idea who this is as I have checked my eBay, Amazon and Play accounts and all of my orders have arrived.

Progress report

I have made several grocery shopping trips on foot since I last posted but don't feel I want to walk as far as Morrisons yet.

I will write up the story of how I got lost in Hampden park when I blog again as it really could do with it's own post.

Yesterday I went totally over the top and actually tackled dusting and hoovering the living room as well as stripping the bed and doing a ton of washing. Needless to say, I felt like a wrung out deck cloth today so will put off shopping again till Sunday or Monday.

Watch this space!

Music For The Faint Hearted

This playlist has been suggested for anyone who has heart problems to play during physio sessions...lol

Taking it Easy

Finally cottoned on that I really could do better at the 'taking it easy' thing.

It's been more than two months since my sudden cardiac arrest...will be 10 weeks in a couple of days.

I am now able to walk using a walker (actually a granny shopper but it does the same thing) to the local Co-op and back. On the odd occasion I wibbly wobble my way to the postbox using one of those walking sticks with the tripod thing going on.

Still feeling feeble...totally randomly and have to suddenly excuse myself from conversations to have a lie down.

The most frustrating part of this whole thing is the memory issues that are not at all consistent. Oh...and people telling me how much better I look when inside I am feeling like shite.

Fancy burgers tonight for dinner...just mustering up the energy. I love cooking as it is something I can still do if it is simple cooking, but the task takes up so much of my energy I rarely feel well enough afterwards to eat...so I am snacking whenever...and sleeping when my body tells me to......

Thought that shopping at the Co-op would be helpful today only I have got spoilt by having internet shopping as an option. When I got back from shopping locally I still ended up buying a ton of groceries from a larger supermarket and will probably need to get out and shop again later this week.

Clothes shopping today...bought trouser bottoms from Amazon and leggings from Bon Marche without having to catch a bus into town..lol

Life in the fast lane...who needs it?

Summer Is On The Way

The signs of summer in England have finally arrived....thunderstorms and when the sun actually shows for a while, the sound of electric lawn mowers followed closely by the smell of freshly mown grass. 

Beltane Morris Dancers

Learn To Morris Dance

My next walking out goal is to get out for some grocery shopping. I have been doing all my grocery shopping on-line for more than a year so it's a bit of a challenge for me, but doable.

Well...I never knew this :)

It seems the suffix 'ize' isn't an Americanism so I will be using it more often now.

"Oxford spelling can be recognized by its use of the suffix ‑ize instead of -ise: organization, privatize and recognizable instead of organisation, privatise andrecognisable. The spelling affects about 200 verbs, and is favoured on etymological grounds, in that -ize corresponds more closely to the Greek root, -izo, of most -ize verbs.^[3] The suffix -ize has been in use in the UK since the 15th century,^[7] and is the spelling variation used in American English. The belief that -ize is an exclusively American variant is incorrect.^[7] The OED lists the -ise form of words separately, as "a frequent spelling of -IZE...":

This practice probably began first in French; in modern French the suffix has become -iser, alike in words from Greek, as baptiser, évangéliser, organiser, and those formed after them from Latin, as civiliser, cicatriser, humaniser.
Hence, some have used the spelling -ise in English, as in French, for all these words, and some prefer -ise in words formed in French or English from Latin elements, retaining -ize for those formed from Greek elements.
But the suffix itself, whatever the element to which it is added, is in its origin the Greek -ιζειν, Latin -izāre; and, as the pronunciation is also with z, there is no reason why in English the special French spelling should be followed, in opposition to that which is at once etymological and phonetic. In this Dictionary the termination is uniformly written -ize. (In the Greek -ιζ-, the i was short, so originally in Latin, but the double consonant z (= dz, ts) made the syllable long; when the z became a simple consonant, /-idz/ became īz, whence English /-aɪz/.)

The use of -ize instead of -ise does not affect the spelling of words that are not traced to the Greek -izo suffix. One group of such words is those that end in -yse, such as analyse, paralyse and catalyse, which come from the Greek verb λύω, lyo. Others include arise, chastise, disguise, prise (in the sense of open), andtelevise"

Homesick Blues

I left Gosport (my home town) in January 2014 to re-locate to Eastbourne to be with Billy, the love of my life. Here he is....caught out doing the hoovering.

Although I love my new life, I get homesick once in a while for the seaside at Stokes Bay and the liveliness that was Gosport town centre where I had lived since October 2000.

I am hoping to get to Gosport some time but when that will be depends on the progress I make. I actually managed to walk to the postbox this week which was a round trip of about 200 yards which is the furthest I have walked in at least a year.

My next goal is to walk to the local Co-op for some apple slices, a loaf of their farmhouse bread, some crusty rolls for lunch and a tub of their luxury ice-cream.

Think I need to Slow down

Stayed up way too long last night playing Candy Crush Soda Saga on facebook  <<<<<< my profile.

I have been feeling a bit spaced out for months now, especially when overtired but I'm a saddo...and totally addicted to some of the facebook games. It doesn't help when fellow players are up late with me and keep sending me extra lives...lol

I've had weird blackouts since I was a little kid and had to stop driving because of them, so it is something I need to keep an eye on. I'm thinking it was the movement and bright colours that set me off last night. Either that or not eating enough chocolate.

The ASDA shopping turned up today. I think I might have expensive tastes as I bought some venison burgers. I last ate venison at a dinner dance back in the 70's so I think I am due a win on the Macmillan Weekly Lottery to pay for my high life :)

My Challenge.....

Overcast today in Eastbourne

I must be feeling better...I have been looking at prices of rebounders..lol

My biggest challenge is dealing with people around me who appear to think I have had a full recovery.

I am in for a long haul....

I have weight loss goals, fitness goals and am noticing small changes every day.

I wwasn't totally looking forward to coming home from hospital as I guessed how things would pan out.

I was right in my vision of what my homecoming would be like. It was like I had never been away.

My new walker is in my eBay basket waiting for my DLA to turn up next week then I plan to walk out to get a bit of shopping done to supplement  my on-line shopping.

I can walk as far as our bins so have spent the last few weeks turfing out all kinds of junk. Then I want to get some stuff together to take to a local charity shop.

As I said earlier....I am in this for the long haul....

Summer Is On The Way

I must have been in a summertime mood when I went eBay shopping this week when I decided to buy THESE.

They look great with my black flight socks that I wear to keep my lymphoedema under control.

I found out some more information about CARDIAC ARREST this evening. I thought this condition was like a heart attack but it seems that until the lovely medical registrar resuscitated me I was only a few minutes away from death...scary stuff for my family but as I was not at all with it at the time I missed all the drama. 

Then there was the wait of several days while I was in a coma...my family really went through it. 

I am currently getting my hospital bag together so I am better prepared for another similar event because I am still not being treated with the right meds.

Looking forward to the summer now while enjoying the spring weather we are having whether it is rainy or sunny. I am just happy to be here to experience whatever the day throws at me.

Incredible Shrinking Woman

Okay....I realise I still have a long way to go and my 17st 2lbs weigh in on April 1st would put me in the HUGE category in some minds but I am happy to be down to 15st 8lbs which is what I weighed in at on April 22nd....Yay! I am now the proud owner of several pairs of baggy trousers.

I can now see that I have legs again which were previously hidden by my lymphoedema (darn this American spell-checker). I have the flight socks to thank for this change along with drinking lots more water and resting up during the day on my memory foam leg rest.

You can buy a leg rest like mine HERE, although I bought mine from a seller on eBay but can't be bothered to look for it again..lol

New Things I found While Shopping

Got chatting to an a Facebook friend from across the pond the other day. She had posted a recipe with Butternut squash spaghetti as one of the ingredients. I had never heard of this so randomly wandered off to Tesco and found that they sell this on-line.

Yummy stuff at Tesco

I now have a pack of butternut squash spaghetti in my fridge waiting for me to work up to cooking it up for my breakfast. I have some olive oil and half a pack of mixed prepared veg so have the makings of breakfast for tomorrow.

I am finding I am more prone to doing random stuff since my return to the land of the living. Not so random that I have taken up cross-stitching again (as a beginner this time)...although I was tempted a week or so ago then remembered that my fingers still don't have full movement and my double vision won't help when I am doing anything fiddly.

I have colouring books and pencils ready for when I have a sudden spell of fiddliness come over me and have bought myself a personalised wooden pencil box to celebrate the occasion. 

Taking It Easy

The last few weeks have seen some improvement healthwise. Looks like this might be a slow process so I am taking it easy and not in any great rush. No point in having so much of my time and energy focussed on a destination and not spending some time just enjoying the scenery.....*cue the sick bucket.

For anyone who is interested...if you have lymphoedema, flight socks do as good a job as the compression garments at a fraction of the price. Compression garments around £20  flight socks £5.95

Buy your Flight socks HERE   folks.

So far this year I have managed to lose around 30lbs...most of that since I came home on April 1st and started wearing the flight socks. The other thing I have done is drink a lot more water than I used to so the jury is out as to which change helped the most.

My memory is still shot to pieces with months of my pre coma life a total blank. I'm relying on family to fill in some of the gaps so my memories are second hand a lot of the time. I'm still having trouble remembering where I have put things and reading feedback on facebook for things I have no recollection of buying can be a bit confusing too. 

Found Another Brick Wall

I'm finding more brick walls as time goes on. Either that or my days are punctuated by circular arguments. The latest is that it seems that the NHS GPs have all the answers to my current difficulties. It doesn't help me that people around me tend to be of the 'go to your doctor for any health answers' mentality...like they are the only people on the planet who can help.

I got used to doing my own thing and finding my own solutions in the years I spent as a single parent and business owner. Now I am feeling isolated due to living out in the sticks where just about any trip out is a logistical nightmare, involving taxi fares and lengthy walks which I cannot do right now. The furthest I can walk is about 100 yards, if that....so venturing out to the town centre is impossible.

Added to this is the feeling I get that no-one has really taken it on board that my health status has changed recently and I have no idea if this is going to be permanent or something that will improve over time. 

I HAVE been offered outside support but can't get to the hospital to access it. I was sent a letter recently which included an offer for on-going therapeutic support as well as a rehab course...neither of which is accessible to anyone unless they live close to the hospital....does no-one think through any of this???

Lazy Days

This is my life right now.

Since I have been out of hospital I have been spending most of my time either sleeping, messing about on-line or chatting with visitors.

Finally got into a frame of mind that allows me to relax in between looking for stuff that has been tidied up by various relatives who have been cleaning the flat while I am napping.

I am finding that I only need to grocery shop weekly as there is always someone who will bring a loaf of bread or milk with them when they drop by. So I buy groceries on-line and then can find the time to chill.

Life in the fast lane.....who needs it???

Thanks For The Memories :)

Having a hard time trying to convince my Billy that asking "Don't you remember...we discussed this a month ago?" is not going to help me remember stuff that the 3 resuscitation attempts and a coma wiped out....lol.

I guess my remembering some things and not others must be really confusing to people around me....it is confusing for me too.

I tried to explain to Billy that I only know how to do some things, like balancing well enough to walk without falling over because the hospital staff showed me how to do these things after I moved from ICU to a general medical ward. Some things I learned by watching other patients to see how they went about things...like eating soup and porridge without making too much of a mess.

Weirdly, I knew how to find this blog and could use a search engine within minutes of having access to my Chromebook again. I also knew how to pick up and send messages and make phone calls using my Android.....I still have no idea why I remember some things and not others....weird stuff but something I need to work out to help simplify my life.

Wanna Know How I Feel Right Now???....lol

I have been feeling like this for some time now....I DID try to be a grown up once but got bored and gave it up as a bad job...lol....

Spending 3 weeks in hospital recently has just confirmed how pointless caring what other people think about me is....not that this actually bothered me before I went off on my unplanned short stay in Fairyland...just feel even more determined to not give a fuck about stuff I didn't give a fuck about before recent events...IYKWIM.

In case anyone reading this really wants to know...there were 3 attempts to re-start my heart when it arrested...there was no door to the other side...I didn't have my whole life flash by...no bright lights....etc etc. The first thing I recall about my hospital stay was a vague memory of waking up in ICU a few days after I turned up at the hospital. 

I doubt I will get back the memories I have lost as I only have recollections from family members to go by if I want to know what happened during my missing week or so. It's like I am building a picture of what has been happening by proxy.

What I have found interesting is the information I remember and stuff I had to re-learn. I couldn't recall how to stay upright without falling over...basically had to re-learn how to walk and how to dress myself. Then when I first got hold of my Android I not only knew how to use it, I knew what it was called....weird shit like this has been interesting to me for years....psychology, neuro-psychology and stuff relating to memory have all been interests of mine for some years now so to have this happen to me has given me an insight into things that I really couldn't have learned any other way.

One of the upsides of having stayed on a hospital ward is that due to not spending much money there I was able to save enough money to buy the fridge freezer I wanted to replace our old knackered one. I bought it on-line almost as soon as I got back home...

Those Were The Days

Haven't heard this song for ages.....feeling in one of those retrospective moods today.

I can really relate to this song...I am finding since my coma and especially since I came home that I am feeling more settled in my mind about what I want to be doing day to day and in the future.

One thing I have noticed is that I am more up front about what I want and how I feel about what is happening to me. 

 Someone left me a message on my land line today. Firstly, I have no idea how to pick up messages on that phone, secondly, even if I had a clue what they wanted I only use the phone for MY convenience as I find phones way too intrusive so rarely use one.

I'll get around to talking to whoever that was in my own time.

Would I want to go back to 'Those' days?...I have been asked that many times and my reply is always the same....I have never got stuck in the past and prefer to enjoy the Now and what I have today...so moved on.

While there are times when I have found it difficult to adjust to new situations, I eventually get myself sorted and embrace the changes as ways to learn more about me, my current circle of people I hang out with day to day and life, generally.

It will all come out in the wash...as they say

Getting Back To Normallity

About 8:30 ish in the evening

Spent today mostly asleep. I was actually awake this morning then crashed out then woke around 17:00 or so. My body clock was a bit wonky before my trip to Fairyland but all I have wanted to do since I have been home is sleep.

My other half has been nodding off all the time I have been awake...time for some liquid and some food I think. Been re-stocking the fridge today so hopefully we will be OK with meals from Wednesday when the new Sunny friendly fridge freezer will be turning up.

No Place Like Home

17:20 is

First  full day at home since my most recent stay in hospital and my holiday to Fairy Land

Still finding some things difficult to get my head round. I will give it six months to settle into a different life-style then will see what I want to do next.

I have been looking at volunteering opportunities HERE and would love to be back working part time at some point.

In the mean time I want to be working on some short term goals that are actually do-able.

Just checked the freezer...No ice-cream there....if I had known that yesterday I would have bought some...doh! I wonder if Tesco sells brain cells....lol

Could Be Escaping Today .....

First night in years that I can recall sleeping all night

08:00 ish

Got woken this morning about 06:30 with...."Oh ...you slept right through!  Can I take your blood pressure reading??

Walked the long and winding road that leads to the loo then sat on the bed in a highly excited state to wait for the hot drinks trolley. I can now smell toast so I think breakfast is in the offing any time soon.

Stuff I want to do this morning.

1. Pack away anything I won't be using today...which is just about everything that was packed and brought with me.

2. Change into some half decent day clothes....not much choice as only two pairs of jammy bottoms fit me and I am wearing one of them....lol

08:15

Breakfast order......same every morning...lol

Porridge....as it comes...no milk or sugar on it
Yoghurt
Fruit Juice

What actually turned up

Porridge with milk and sugar
Fruit juice
No Yoghurt
Toast and marmalade ....lol ..lol

I let the rest go...but the silly woman wanted to argue with me about the toast and marmalade. She couldn't seem to grasp that someone with a problem with gluten wouldn't have ordered toast.....doh!
