Finally things change but it’s too little and too late The past couple of days I have started having district nurses asking my advice on what insulin to give Jermaine, this has never happened before. It’s how it should be but why the years of it not happening before? Took Jermaine to the hospital today for a final appointment to see his epilepsy and diabetes consultants, John and Chris. We all agreed that the increased assessment period at the Chalfont had more to do with the tax year then it does with needing extra time to assess anything. Chris is also going to write that he feels the Chalfont is the best place so that is two senior consultants saying he should be there. If the Chalfont agree then the PCT don’t have a leg to stand on. I guess it is worth doing a little bit about Jermaine. He was born a healthy bright young thing and had a normal development until he was 11 months old. He used to always be smiling and saying little words then, over the space of a couple of weeks, he l...

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

Gonna take my laptop with me so I may update the blog or I may not undecided at this stage, Just read Martyn’s blog and it really upset me, I thought we’d sorted all that stuff about controlling things what with me trying to explain how I am not really, I am more just voicing my thoughts, everything I say can be challenged and when I make a suggestion, and that is all it is, I am looking for a better one, it’s a starting block not a decision. As I am so flippin’ pissed off about my control freak image I really need Martyn to understand the real me, to know that sometimes I come across wrong but that he needs to question me on it rather than bottling things up and getting angry inside about it. It hurts because it feels like I am being blamed for something I didn’t do like if I’d accidentally bashed into someone yet they believed I’d taken a swipe at them, less still from a person that should know I’d do nothing to hurt or upset them. My point being, I have feelings too and I need to be...

I was lying on my side earlier and this really attractive guy gently and seductively pulled my trousers down and then my pants and massaged my aching buttocks with his hand whilst I was in heaven. He put it in my bum and it really hurt, I mean, it wasn’t unbearable but it was uncomfortable but quite soon his tool was empty and he withdrew and rubbed vigorously on my aching lower end. “I hope that didn’t hurt too much” he said “No, it’s OK, I am used to injections and the last one there was way worse than that, you did really well” I said. OK, this was not an erotic fantasy but a brief summary of my trip to rheumatology earlier. After quite a long and painful examination they decided to give me a steroid injection to reduce the swelling in my legs but that will only last from between 6 – 8 weeks when I have to go back again, well, OK, I go back in 3 months the week after I get home from Gran Canaria. They tell me there is a chance that the symptoms may go before the next appointment in ...

Still, enough about the crap weather and it is set to get colder too ... but, enough about the weather already! I love starting work early, it’s just such fun. It dawned on me this morning that probably nobody had told the school transport to pick Jermaine up so I called them, woke the poor guy up in fact. It appears that the school is closed until Wednesday. One little problem just became a huge problem. I have Jermaine here and no carers. Anyway, I do thankfully have some reliable emergency numbers to call now and was able to arrange for the carers to be here today and tomorrow after all so that is that little crisis over with and all before 7:35! Don’t have a lot to do today, just some small shopping, Matt wants me to take a look at a music shop in town and then we are going to go over to Robin’s, this is assuming we can get Zoey out of bed which is proving more problematic than anything else I have done this morning.

I had a horrible drive to Bristol on Saturday, it was mainly fog all the way there and add that to some totally crap driving (the other guys on the road were not much better). I would have still made it to the hotel for 1:30 as I planned had my satnav not decided that waiting until the most difficult part of the journey to stop giving me directions was a good idea. What is really annoying about satnavs is remembering to switch from the reliance on the bit of kit and use of my own brain. I mean, ‘it’ (satnav) was having go round in circles yet when I decided to ignore it the street signs actually did an incredibly good job of getting me to where I needed to be. As it happens I was only 15 minutes late which was just as well because there was a jobs worth woman on reception at the hotel that was never going to let me check in early!. I sent Martyn a text to say I had arrived and he then called over that he could see that (or words to that effect) so the text was a little pointless and no...

The fracture was a break and Matt is on liquids for two weeks then he can up his intake to scrambled eggs and mash and then, if he is really good, after 4 weeks to soft pasta … wow, what a lucky boy … all so a chav could have a moment of feeling big before he went home for a wank assuming he could find his dick. In a way Matt is lucky the break is still inline else he would have needed surgery, he still may if he knocks it. I got a call from the respite centre last night. They told me Jermaine has not been at all well all week, seizures increased, generally very lethargic, lots of blanking out. I asked why they had not contacted me sooner but they didn’t seem to quite know why that was. I got there this morning and he had just had another seizure and it struck me as obvious to why the moment I walked in. One of their other residents was making one hell of a din, yelling and screaming constantly. I asked the carers there if he had been OK the previous week and he’d been fine, no seizure...

Yeah, on Tuesday evening Matt was once again set upon by a group of chavs and again whilst friends stood by and did nothing. As usual, an unprovoked attack, just chavs getting their jollies. Well, he brought some of these friends home last night so I didn't get much chance to talk to him about it but by this morning (Weds) he was complaining of a lot of pain around the left side of his jaw. Eventually we agreed it was worth a few hours in casualty just to get peace of mind. Over three hours later we find out the X-Ray shows up something they don't like the look of, they think it is either a fracture or a break but they can't be certain. So, tomorrow morning we have to be at yet another drop in clinic for what we are promised will be several more hours to find out exactly what it is. Hopefully, some time tomorrow afternoon we can get the police informed and get a crime number and then, just maybe, Matt can send off for some criminal injuries compensation, at least he'll ...

What with it being Valentines day it is a red letter day for millions up and down the UK and across the world but not for me as usual. But then, had something arrived it would have been anonymous, you know, there is someone out there who is my ideal man, the love of my life if he’d only call and tell me! The time is now 11:33 in the morning and I can smell a lovely lamb joint cooking for our dinner later, yummy. This will be the third roast dinner in a row but I can live with that. Martyn sounds a little more optimistic about the panto reading very deeply between the lines, possibly, maybe? I’ll find out on Saturday. At least that will be the last night so everyone should hopefully be quite relaxed and not trying to kill each other with visual daggers. I am still undecided as to what I shall do at the weekend. Obviously I have the panto but it is a long way to go just for a few short hours, I really feel like I need to arrange something else too but just can’t make my mind up what. It ...

I found out earlier on today that this could now be about to happen. A date of March 2nd has been arranged for Jermaine to go to the Chalfont Centre initially for an assessment of at least 4 weeks but up to 8 and then he just may never come home again. This is particularly difficult because as per usual, I can deal with a certainty, it is all up in the air. My idea was that he went for a brief assessment and then came home whilst we prepared him and us and then went back again for good a few weeks later in a big move with all his things and we’d all be ready. This just doesn’t feel right, it’s like he is on remand and we have no idea until the court case what is happening. Needless to say I feel weird, I don’t really know how to feel. It is a kind of grief but underlying that is a need to feel relieved that I can’t do. That was part of my vision of what would happen, a great deal of upset that he has gone but also relief that we can finally be a ‘normal’ family again. I just don’t thin...

Daisy is off school again, more nasty letters on my doorstep about attendance no doubt. Matt decided that leaving at 7:30 this morning was a great idea and it was … had this morning been not Thursday. As it was, this is Thursday and he realised upon arrival in town that he doesn’t start college until 11 on Thursday so called daddy to come rescue him and, whilst at it, buy him breakfast at McDonalds! He was only at college for 1:30 so hardly worth me going home and I did have some shopping to do anyway so off I went to Tesco via anywhere I fancied to do some window shopping first! Got a call from the Healthy Department earlier, appears they have approved the funding for Jermaine to go for an assessment at the Chalfont Centre. This is only a first step. Once the assessment period is over (about 4 weeks) they then meet again to decide if they are going to fund his placement there. They may decide that they can find somewhere that they believe meets his needs better (read cheaper) so I hav...

Got the girls off to school, Matt had left already. Robin turned up around 9:30 and off we went to Sheffield to see Sue making good time on the way despite stopping for a drink on the way. Had a great time with Sue, had to tell her that her ageing PC is well past its sell by date and she needs a new one but it really is and she does so there! Got the freeview working, my first one so pleased with that … a good signal helps! Got her new digital camera up and running and demonstrated that and also got her new telephones working as well. We had lunch at the Meadowhall Centre and I ate way more than normal and am still totally stuffed now! Arrived home shattered at something like 9:30 again so a 12 hour day and poor Robin must have been even more knackered as he’s going through a bad patch right now and did all the driving with me dozing off for several miles on the way home. Daisy has managed to get up to 4 weeks grounding now because once again she has been telling lies and so blatant wi...

This morning I am taking Daisy to school to find out what is going on. Most of her friends seem to think there is a teacher training day today yet the school website says not. But then, it also mentions no other teacher training days that they have had this year and I know of at least three occasions when they have been closed. I am fed up with being single, it just doesn’t suit me. Not that there are any options or alternatives to that right now or for the foreseeable future. I’ve accepted and moved on from any idea that Martyn may wander down the relationship route, it’s never gonna happen, such is life, move on … so I did. Still, a guy that is not into casual sex that can’t find a relationship feels lonely. Of course, casual sex to me means sex with strangers, guys I barely know so it doesn’t mean no sex at all but even so, not going to make my life complete by any stretch of the imagination. I can own all the gadgets under the sun, the PDA, the sunbed, the PC the … whatever, it doe...

Half a dozen chavs beat up my son in a crowded town centre market earlier on today because he leapt to the defence of a gay friend. I am so terribly proud of him, the fact that the friend is gay is not really relevant, it’s that he is not afraid to stand up for what is right. Those Chavs best not let me near them ... not that I can do any more than Matt did and they'd probably beat me up to but I'd make a mess of some of them at least. As usual, no witnesses. The police asked Matt for a description of them, he said they wore baseball caps, their socks were on the outside of their Adidas track suits, there was Burberry somewhere, they were right handed and none of them had a brain that he was aware of ... seemed like a fair description to me. I have time on my hands … as was pointed out earlier, yet I have no idea what to do with it. I think I have got so used to not doing anything that it’s just easier now not to think of an alternative!

Carers never showed up this morning, ill apparently. Matt did most of the work before I got up so I am going to take him to college as he is obviously running late now then I am getting back on track, this one is not getting buggered! (the day that is, not me)

My plan for Sunday have died now as they did for Saturday for the same reason so I am stuck at home again. The kids mum has decided (again) that she is way too busy this weekend to have the kids so I have to stay here with them. Oh well, such is life I guess. I am going to try and fit in as much as I can tomorrow to give myself a break instead.

I asked matt to sort this morning out as I knew I was going to stay up a little later than normal and had today all planned out. What was going to happen was that I was going to get up around 10, have a nice long soak in the bath, get out and have a nice sunbed session listening to some adagio or other and then go out for a while possibly over to MK for a wander, meet Robin if he wasn’t busy and in the evening I was going to go out with friends after a nice roast dinner cooked by Matt to see Brokeback Mountain … yes, a truly lovely day. This is how it really went: I was woken up at 8 by daisy saying how Zoey couldn’t be arsed to get ready so had missed her bus, Daisy had been arguing with Zoey was now running late herself. Matt had got up at 7:45, too late to make sure Zoey got on her bus and after doing Jermaine had gone back to bed. This meant I had to get straight out of bed and drive both girls to school, no time to do anything except clean my teeth. On the way back me and Matt, wh...

Oh my, this will never do … I have just been so neglecting this blog What have I been up to then? Well, no flippin’ goat herds, that’s for sure. My contract with my isp v21 expires in a couple of weeks and I am going to switch providers, I simply don’t need the aggro I get off them and they are no where near as cheap as they once were. Most likely be switching to Demon. I am still not 100%, perhaps I should have settled for the mittens? Anyway, throat reasonably clear but I am still talking a little weird and cough now and then … I can live with that for now but will get it checked out if it carries on. Just found out yesterday that the guy investigating the social services complaint sends his report to them and they add their conclusion which seems totally pointless, they just as well write it themselves if they don’t have to accept anything in it. Things are finally moving on the placement for Jermaine to the Chalfont in Bucks. It turned out they sent their report to social services ...
