Update on oggbashan's health

[oggbashan]

Part 04 - 1st Class by liner to Australia - is now pending too.

 

[oggbashan]

Part 02 is posted too.

The hair on my head is growing back slowly. It isn't enough, yet, to need a comb, but it is now obvious I have hair.

My beard? That's different. It got a bit thinner but never went away. Now it needs trimming.

12 weeks? From when?

I have now had four letters advising me that I am at "severe risk" and I should stay at home, avoiding contact for 12 weeks from the date of the letter.

The first was from NHS England; the second from 10 Downing Street; the third from my GP; and this morning from the local hospital.

All say "12 weeks from the date of this letter" but none are dated.

Is that 12 weeks from the first letter received a month ago? Or 12 weeks from the last one?

Part 03 is posted. First vote was a 5. Second a 1.

That's 16 weeks from next Tuesday.

That is what I was afraid of. It's not too bad for me, in a four bedroom house with a large garden and a sea view, but if I was in a City Centre apartment I think I'd go insane.

I've just started the eighth week of what was advertised as a two-week self-isolation. In my case, it's not much of a change from normal life.

I walk around my block of large terraced houses for exercise (with sometimes a brief session in the park that is opposite the end of my block) & drive out in the countryside that surrounds Keighley to keep the car battery charged - I don't get out of the car, but some times park in a field gateway 'layby' and read a book.

And a fifth version this morning from another hospital!

I'm not sure whether you're complaining or grateful that so many care.

Complaining. I don't need to be reminded so many times and I don't need the help offered (which doesn't actually exist locally). I have relations, neighbours and friends would could get things for me if I needed it.

I think they all assume you to rely on the "posting" date. . .
Someone should tell them about the changes. . . .

There is no fucking postage date on ANY of the envelopes!

Has anybody else noticed how men get crankier as they age?

Women do too. Neither of us likes it.

Define "old age". I'm only 45 and I've noticed myself get rather short-tempered lately. Also, I feel like my patience for bullshit is dramatically decreasing.

 

[TxRad]

Also you'll need to define cranky. Cranky for some is normal for others.

It ain't 'just' men. My ex used to get real nasty at strange times.

Probably because we've seen that crap before and do not fancy a reprise. . . .

I had a Boss like that once. . . .

 

[voluptuary_manque2]

We're quickly developing a variety of farm-to-table delivery services. I have a box of fruit and veg due tomorrow and as soon as the next set of pension checks arrives, I'll order a box of pork. And maybe a couple of chickens. I still have two ducks in the freezer that need to be processed. Now that I'm getting more mobile, I foresee a long run of putting by. Such fun. (stock, confit, sausage . . . )

 

[NoJo]

If there's one thing that make me shake my walking cane at people it's being called cranky, especially by pesky kids

Hugs to ogg!!!

So, um, Ogg...

We’ve seen you posting, so you’re presumably still with us. How are you feeling?

Ridiculously well. I am waiting for an appointment for a scan to see if the cancer has returned and have an appointment (face to face!) with the oncology specialist at the end of June.

My symptoms of Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome are reducing. My speech can now be understood all day long, although it is not back to normal; my unsteadiness on my feet is such that I sometimes forget to take my walking stick with me around the house; but I am still seeing double most of the day which is why I have to wear an eyepatch when typing and make too many typos.

My beard is as bushy as it used to be and my hair is growing back even on parts where I had been bald for over a decade.

I am an anomaly. My next-door neighbour can't understand it. His mother, who was younger than me, was diagnosed with lung cancer six weeks ago and died last Friday. Yet I have had lung cancer since December 2018 and now my hair is returning it isn't obvious.

The other local patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy are jealous. Not only did I retain most of my beard and a substantial part of my hair, but I had no side-effects whatever from Chemo or radiotherapy. I thought after the first radiotherapy session I was slightly bloated. It wasn't the radiotherapy. It was the full English Breakfast I ate immediately afterwards when most people are only able to drink water and eat very little.

I’m sorry to hear the news about your neighbor’s mother; that’s so fast. But keep baffling them and keep the anomalies coming, Ogg You’re invincible!!!
