19.02.23 – 24.02.23 Hospital Again: Dr Gray’s, Hospital, Elgin

Another infection. Toilets in our homes are the cause. Too small for bigger people. I had to make an adaption to use mine, and the one’s in the hospital are the same. Something either goes over the back or the front, but never both in the bowl without the adaptation. (I am disabled) I have my occupational therapist, Claire, looking into it now. Ha ha, except it’s not funny, or hygienic, because my adaption pours fluids back on me, but I have no choice. (Claire’s on holiday, but has promised to bring her supervisor to see the problem. She’s been three times already but can’t solve the problem, but I’m sure she will. However: It might mean changing the design of toilets all over the world, because they don’t work for most of us bigger men, but nobody dares to complain. Except me) The hospital toilet this week was worthless to me. I had to lift the lid and sit on the bowl, and they’ve given me two laxative types for a week. Home with me as well for the future. I’m terrified every time I have to use my toilet, ask Claire, and little wonder I need laxatives, but like Hilary said the NHS don’t listen.

Note: I’m very disturbed by the BBC comments concerning the live audience attending Vladimir Putin’s recent speech. (The war is God’s business not mine, but talk like that could only make matters worse) They just can’t understand the difference between a well disciplined people who show silent respect and their own Laura Kuenssberg who used to yell at politicians daily on the street in the most vile show of bad manners you can witness, and politicians in Britain’s parliament are as bad. Like Liverpool football supporters, but now she’s taken her bad manners inside. Anyway: Party politics are as easy to understand as Richard Madeley said it. “There is always a compromise, which always means some people will get less and some people will get more.” Well said Richard, and Laura and Company should get less.
