Isolated Blurt Thread Again

[TxRad]

Good to see you Tx.

What I meant to say. Getting old screws with the typing fingers first.

Fool, you have never produced page 2 material in your life.

I went looking for yesterday’s words.
Let them out to play
and they never came back.

Gives you a pause to think of what was said.
But it will soon be forgotten
or at least I may forget saying it.

Most of the time.
Occasionally what I said
comes back to haunt me.

But I said it.
No taking those words back.
No matter what incentives I leave on the porch.

Meanwhile? I wobble around on a stick and only my wife can understand my speech. That is irritating both of us.

Even my coffee tastes wrong. Grrr!

 

[The_Fool]

I know that she understands desire.
Not sure she understands desirable,
as in how desirable she is.
That the sighs evoked
from the strokes
of my fingertips
on her smooth skin
are stadium cheers
to my ears.
Not sure she knows
I would feel remiss
Without that one last kiss
To end the night,
Start the day
as punctuation
(in fact an exclamation)
to close our time together.
But as long as she continues to sigh,
Let me touch her,
Shares my kisses,
I will be satisfied
with our communication.

I get a new story idea every few days. None of them come anywhere near being finished ever, but I still get them, and even start them every once in a while.

 

[The_Fool]

I wonder what brand
of tape measure works best
for measuring hope?
What size ruler for desire?
Metric or English?
If I measure love in meters
will that translate into feet?
What if feet are not enough,
can I use miles?
I do know if what I measure is big enough
I need someone to hold the other side.

 

[TxRad]

I was angling for something when I measured around the corner.

I know Fool, I'm no poet and it shows. My blurts aren't all straight lines butt...

I have just copied everything I have posted as stories and poems on Literotica both as oggbashan and jeanne_d_artois as .txt files to my e-reader.

The whole lot came to 9.64 mb. That doesn't seem a lot.

I check mine and came up with 14.2M for 227 stories but that doesn't include poems, all both of them, or the story I co-wrote with SSS.

They aren't. Not yet.

I don't know, there are a lot of threads that look like this:

MelissaBaby:

Wow, it's really raining hard out there!

BigShotAuthor:

Does anyone know what the weather is like?

OccasionalDropInGuy:

Nope, they don't let me have windows here.

BelovedAHInstitution:

Hey guys, it's raining!

More medical news from wobbly Og:

I visited my physiotherapist today but he is reluctant to do much until the problem that is causing my unsteadiness is diagnosed.

Last week I went for a blood test before a six-monthly diabetic check up. Today I received a request for a retest - not good, but that is arranged for tomorrow and the check up on 8 May.

Friday I'm going to the Falls Clinic at my local hospital - not for treatment but for advice on how to manage falls.

Next Tuesday I'm being driven by my oldest daughter to a private hospital to see yet another specialist consultant. His specialism seems unlikely to identify the cause but once I am at the private hospital they have facilities not easily accessed at our local NHS hospital.

I'd still fail a US field sobriety test because I walk and talk like a drunk, and without my stick I'd fall over. But I'm alcohol free - honest!

In the evenings when tired I have double vision so I type with an eye-patch on one eye. My grandson thinks it is cool to have a grandfather who looks like a pirate and walks and talks like one who has imbibed too much rum.

But I would like to know why, and whether the condition is treatable.

Best wishes Og. That sounds incredibly frustrating.

Thank you.

I attended a Falls Clinic this morning. I expected advice on how to avoid falls. What I got was an hour with the consultant doctor who went through all the procedures I had been given so far, tested my blood pressure sitting and standing, all my reflexes and muscle strengths and concluded:

I'm the fittest person of my age that he has seen in ten years of managing that clinic. My extensive blood test results from the previous consultant were outstandingly good. For example: an indicator for prostate problems is if a certain value exceeds 1000. My result? 0.5 Other results were similarly insignificant. He expects his patients to have a number of poor results but I had none. My blood pressure results were also remarkably good.

His advice: Keep moving but do it slowly. He has ordered a CT scan of my chest, abdomen, and hips and will see me again in 3 months but doesn't expect any adverse results. He thinks my problems are related to the ankylosing spondylitis and general wear and tear. Keep moving is the main advice.

I would like definite advice on the cause and treatment if possible but everything dangerous has been ruled out.

Next hospital and consultant on Tuesday. I'll update after then.

Tuesday update ENT consultant

My eldest daughter drove me 30 miles to the private hospital to see a private ENT specialist that I might wait weeks to see on the NHS. Cost fully covered by my insurance, no co-pay or extras.

As expected, the hearing test showed loss of upper registers, which I know about. Ears, as inspected by practice nurse and consultant, are normal with no disorders. Conclusion - the same as Falls Clinic consultant - I'm very fit for my age. I just fall over because the messages from body to brain are sometimes confused by ankylosing spondylitis, stiff neck and general age deterioration.

The advice, again, is:

Keep moving, using a stick for balance, be very careful on stairs and uneven ground, and if I get up in the night (which I do) make sure there is some light.

I have bought a secondhand 4-wheeled walker with a built-in seat as used by a friend who was equally tall but is now confined to bed. I will use that on outings and when I need to walk more than 100 yards/metres. I have already tried in on rough grass and it performed well. I might have to buy a smaller, lighter one for shopping. So far I have managed by holding on grimly to a shopping cart but they aren't as stable as a purpose made walker.

I will not be buying/using a pavement buggy because I need to keep moving, not be a lazy b.

If by "invisible" you mean that your posts in this thread don't generate a lot of responses, I'll point out that may be more a function of the forums/threads where you post; as you undoubtedly appreciate, some forums/threads are far more active than others.
