The Anonymous Widower

I Was Kathleened At The Weekend

Saturday

At 0200 on Saturday morning, I couldn’t sleep.

So in the end, I got up, made myself a mug of tea and did Saturday’s puzzles in The Times.

I had no trouble doing them, so my brain function was normal.

But my left hand wasn’t working that well.

I had breakfast in Leon and had a bit of trouble with their sauce containers, but otherwise I was fine.

I did a bit of shopping in M & S on Moorgate and came home.

I wasn’t having any problems.

For the rest of the day, I watched television and listened to the radio.

Sunday

I got up late, as I was probably catching up the sleep from the night before.

I had lunch in Gordon Ramsey’s Street Burger about one.

My left hand wasn’t working that well and I was making a bit of a mess.

After, I got home, I watched television and listened to the radio.

Monday

I slept in late, but as my left hand wasn’t being very co-operative, I had a small bit of trouble dressing, due to an uncooperative left hand.

My INR was 2.0, so I took 5 mg. of Warfarin.

I had breakfast in Leon, where I made a mess with the sauce container.

I then went looking for a book, which I couldn’t find.

Tuesday

Everything seems better today.

My INR was 2.1, so I took 5 mg. of Warfarin.

I did my usual Monday morning trip, of  visit to Marks & Spencer for about three days of food and then had breakfast in Leon.

Conclusion

This seems to be a pattern.

• A storm goes through, I can’t sleep and after some drinks of tea or zero alcohol beer, I feel a bit better.
• My left hand often stops co-operating and won’t do simple things.
• But it does seem to clear up, when the storm passes.

This is probably the third time, that it’s happened.

Note.

1. My left humerus was broken by the school bully.
2. I had a stroke in 2011, which affected my left arm.
3. If I carry shopping in my left hand, the pulling action on my humerus seems to help.

Any ideas will be gratefully received.
