Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th June, 2024.

26th June, 2024.

It’s official: yesterday was Tuesday, and today is Wednesday!

And … ?

I’ve managed to have a phone appointment with my GP.

We’ve managed to sort out a few things.

Seemingly?

The low blood pressure is partly due to the diabetes: but being amplified by the heat.

Hence the blurred vision and dizzy spells.

They’ve seriously stressed keeping hydrated: especially in this hot spell.

They’ve also confirmed a mental health referral has been made: but could take until 2025 to turn up.

It’s important, rather than urgent: so I’m not too concerned.

But, obviously?   And as far as I’m concerned?   The sooner the better.

As an additional point … ?

I’ve ALSO been prescribed Mounjaro: as a replacement for the Ozempic I’m using.

Hopefully?

There’s plenty of this stuff!

A song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        How about Door-essa’s, Debbi?   Door-arinas?   No, hang on, a Door-arina would be a Royal Russian female Door, wouldn’t she?

        Oh, did I mention I’ve picked up a copy of The Celestial Toymaker, one of the re-animated Hartnell stories??   It could be interesting … 

‡        It sounds like the sub-contractors might have delivered to the wrong address, Olga!   That happens a lot, here, as the buildings are very similar.   I’ll end up with stuff for over the road, they’ll end up with stuff for here, and both of us will end up with stuff for the flat two buildings down!   And I think some of the drivers are more used to Cyrillic script, rather than Latin!

        Well … we’ve got a remedy for the blood pressure, Olga§: but yes, dizzy spells and slightly blurred vision have been involved.   The fact I’ve kept bottled water in the ’fridge, helps, there!   And my medication’s changed, again: this time I’ve got Mounjaro.   How long it will be, before this runs out, I don’t know.

        Pass my regards to your mother for me, please, Olga: it sounds like she’s got a lot on the go!

§        Apparently?   Standing on my toes for a few minutes also helps: it gets the blood circulating, apparently.
