BELIEVE

 FRIDAY - Called the doctors they came to visit Helen at our house again he recommended we use ice packs then heat packs,  we do have a wheat bag that you heat up in the microwave every two hours Helen takes paracetamol x 2 then two hours later she take a 30mg and a 15 mg codeine tablet she was able to go for short walks around the garden but the discomfort and pain are still there the doctor said it could be weeks before her condition gets back to normal if that's the case I cant possible go back to work Monday I will need more time off as I cant leave her by herself when she can hardly stand ,move and walk .

SATURDAY - Went to the supermarket to get the ingredients for a chicken noodle stir fry using teriyaki sauce .Helen still not good but a slight improvement from a few days ago when you are getting up at six am its a long day and driving to the shops a few miles away was nice just  to get out  and break the day up I took the bedding off washed it hanged it out to dry and then put it back on never know which way fitted sheets go and duvets are just a pain .

MONDAY - Phoned work I am taking the rest of the week off annual leave to look after Helen luckily it was not a issue hopefully she will improve throughout the week she is still on pain killers , ice packs and heat patches and is getting slightly better , but it is a slow process .

TUESDAY - Went to see the spiritualist and medium Steve Holbrook it is not the first time we have seen him over the years I think this was our fourth visit he was appearing at the spiritualist church that Helen attends .Over hundred people attended we didn't get a message but others did and what he was telling them was very exact and he hit the nail on the head too many time for it to be coincidence anyone who doesn't believe go and see him he is doing a lot of stand ups in various locations , go see him then decide .

LONGEST WAIT

 TUESDAY - Raining although I did manage to get to walk the dogs in between the rain fall .

I buy eggs from a local neigh bough he keeps hens they had one box of six eggs left I dropped £1.50 into the honest box picked up the egg box only to find out it there was no weight to , it was empty someone had returned a box so it could be reused .I rang his door bell he was ok he had eggs inside I got six eggs breakfast is go. Helen has got pain in her lower back I ordered some heat patches and pain relief gel they will come tomorrow .

WEDNESDAY - Had to call the doctors they came out Helen has sever pain in her lower back right hand side .She cant move and it seems to be getting worse hence a visit from the surgery .She was prescribed some Codeine 15mg and ibuprofen gel to rub in to the region of her pain .this was just after midday by seven o clock that evening we had called and ambulance to take her to the newly opened Huddersfield A&E department  .

As always you get assessed in the first thirty minutes then you wait they gave her pain killers she was on a wheel chair we spent the next ten hours waiting to see a doctor  why are the seat all metal they are solid after a few hours your arse is numb .

I asked for more pain killers not for my bum for Helen which where given  hours later we did get to see the doctor he assessed her said he would give her liquid morphine , paracetamol and two suppository's  great this did not happen for another hour only difference know is Helen is laid down rather than sat in a wheel chair finally we got the drugs  .Then we had a hour to wait for the drugs to kick in then we walked up and down the hospital corridor we did this six , seven times the doctor said he was happy for us to go home not as happy as us ,  He said he would  prescribe the tablets  before he would discharge us .Another hours wait and  finally we got the codeine tablets these where 30 mg .

The new department is really nice , clean and new apart from the chairs in the waiting area its a winner but no matter how clean new and high tech it is with out doctors its a waste of money its a massive waiting game moved from one are to another area just to wait the treatment was fine thank you we are grateful , but the time spent waiting well stick it where you put your suppository's.  

THURSDAY - We drove home stopping on the way to get two sugary jam doughnuts we got home just after nine .

Helen went to bed after a cup of tea obviously the morphine and other drugs will wear off we will see what today brings .a few items we need laxatives codeine bungs you up  I through the Senokot on to the front seat .Then remembered I need dog biscuits so i shut the car door and I went back in to the store I remembered I had thrown my wallet on to the car seat I went back to get my wallet the car keys were also on the seat all of the car doors were locked my car for some reason locks all the doors with in seconds its a pain you don't need to press the fob it just does it  you can be sat in the drive seat and the doors lock the electric ignition wont start you have to unlock the doors with the fob to start the car .

I had to get Adam our next door neighbough  to drive down with my spare key luckily he was in and I got back  in to my car , it was the last thing I wanted to happen but it ended well Adam arrived within five minutes after hardly any sleep I was happy .

LOCKED UP

 MONDAY - Received a phone call from my son he is in jail serving a eight week sentence .I told him I had sent him a couple of emails hopefully he will serve his time get out and never go back freedom is to precious life is fleeting the clock ticks for us all don't waste time .I would hate one day in prison the biggest grip from my son is you are always hungry the food you get is not enough you need to top it up with the items you can buy from the prison store but only if you have money in your account and you have to order a week in advance so there is always a week wait from placing any order , Unlike Amazon its not next day delivery .

Went to visit Helens youngest son he is opening his own Barbers shop  , his premises are quite big with various large rooms all on one floor at the moment they are doing repairs to the roof before putting a plaster board ceiling in the main room .the next big job is floor and wall tiles and painting then a clean up.

We all went to Ikea in Birstall they are ripping the store apart think they are building on to the existing store front , We also went to the Range then to Home sense .

On the way how I went through a Red traffic signal not sure why a lapse in concentration stopped at a fish shop for a chippy tea .They wasn't the best we had been there before a couple of years ago they was not how we remembered them should have got a curry sauce but didn't , got a Dr Pepper instead . 

Below barbers chair in Liam's new premises hopefully be open in the next few weeks he ordered a sofa for the customers to sit on which is a six week delivery guess they make them to order .

 

SECOND BEST

 WEDNESDAY - Came home this morning just before 03.00 am it was raining Helen was up watching You Tube featuring Cheddar Gorge .She would like to go back we went years ago one of the reasons we need a camper van is to explore this island where we live called Great Britain to wake up in different locations chill out on a night counting the stars and waking up listening to the birds .

England through to the final of the Euros its a great result is it coming home probably not but there is always a chance one goal is all it takes .

FRIDAY - Break up after tonight's shift nine days off work will do me the weather wont be great as long as I can walk Rosie and Bailey be ok .Be nice to sit in the garden and chill with a cider .

SUNDAY - Reformatted my laptop it was quite easy not like the old days only took twenty minutea hopefully no more pop ups .Dropped Helen off at Denby Dale Pie Hall they are having a psychic night , I will be watching England lose writing this before the game .England lost 2-1 they played better than the rest of the games they played in the tournament but not good enough anyway we came second runners up I guess its a win of sorts .

IN IT TO WIN IT

 SATURDAY - Went to the Springs shopping mall we both bought a white linen shirt  Helens was £70 from Fat Face mine was £8 from H&M. Bought some fish and chips from Marks and Spencer's to oven cook I also got  some M&S  Piri Piri mayo as well as a scotch egg and pork pir slices with egg .Could fill a trolley up quite easily with all the great food they have on sale. England vs Switzerland was live on the radio .

SUNDAY - Liam Helen's son and his girlfriend Mel came to visit us for the first time we haven't  seen Liam in ages and we have never meet his girlfriend before although they have been together since last Christmas .

MONDAY - Back to work just for a week break up Friday for nine days off to say I cant wait would be a lie , Downloaded Amazon Prime photos have uploaded all the photos of my iPhone as long as you have the live subscription to Prime you get unlimited storage .

Sick of the weather summer is not happening the few days of sun is not enough its cold most days  it should be a lot warmer like the England football team and English politics its totally depressing .

In the next day we should hear who has won the camper van we entered the raffle months ago and its finally getting drawn on the 18th of July .Helen wants to go to Cheddar , Scotland and Ireland which suits me fine .

SENT HOME

 MONDAY - Back at work for my first shift wasn't too bad went fast enough four to go break up a week this Friday for another week off . 

TUESDAY - Went to work left  half hour early bad diarrhoea I went three times in the space of a couple of hours and it was getting worse each visit that  I made to the toilet . Plus I was getting stomach pains .

WEDNESDAY - Sick day the policy states got to be diarrhoea free for 24 hours , its 48 hours if its combined with vomiting , or so I thought .

Helen ordered some protein drinks to drink instead of eating  a a meal she ordered enough for twenty eight days to shakes a day .She also sent  samples of her for a sensitivity test  to be done they test for over 600 hundred different things from allergies to intolerances , both the shakes and test had a great saving a quarter of there normal price .

THURSDAY - Went back to work only to be told to go home as it is 48 hours clear not 24 hours and when I mentioned I was still loose was told to return Monday if fit to do so .Who am I to argue .
