    Alternative title: the drugs do work.  On Monday, I had to go to the doctor to get vamped as my friend Nikki says.  They want to monitor my kidney to make sure the Candesartan isn't fucking my kidneys.  Before taking the blood, the nurse took my blood pressure and noted it was a lot better. …

    Full pic: Yeah, don't ask what this is supposed to be. I got a text from the doctor today.  My blood test shows that I'm borderline prediabetic type 2.  So, that's diet changes I need to make.  And on Monday, I need to go back and get more bloods taken.  I'm beginning to regret not…

    My sister in laws funeral is Friday.  I had booked a hotel for the Thursday night, then my dad phoned and said him and mum found a three bed place.  So, I'm staying there.  It does mean sharing with mum, dad and my sister, but it won't cost me anything and I can stay the…

  • RIP Alisa Forbes
    November 3, 2024
    At 6am this morning, my sister in law died of cancer.  Her mother was with her. I didn't know Alisa as much as I would have liked to.  My brother isn't speaking to me, for reasons only he knows.  But, as much as I did know her, I liked her.  She could be ridiculous (she…
