Hank William's song (Flippantly Plagiarised)
By: Mike Waters Date: July 21, 2024, 12:51 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I dreamed that the great judgement morning had dawned
And that 'Donald' the trumpet was born
I dreamed that the nations had gathered
To judgement before his white throne
And oh, with what weeping and wailing
As they each were told of their fate
They cried for the rocks and the mountains
They prayed, but their prayer was too late

I'm not comfortable socialising any more. I can barely walk,
I've become incontinent, can't remember anything, I've lost my
dentures and no idea where, desperately in need of a hair cut,
and can barely dress myself.
Christine is also sinking fast.
And I too have no idea of what I was trying to convey re
'Change'.
Just passing the time pointlessly. >:( ??? :'(

Oh Mike I am so sorry, sounds as if you could do with a bit of
support physically. Is Christine getting any carers come in, can
you speak to your GP about getting some help.

I daren't speak to my GP for fear he might pronounce me unfit to
drive.
That would be 'the end' for me, just have to hope that me
driving doesn't lead to 'the end' for someone else.

I am really not sure what to say in response to that Mike, red
flags are flying - an expression we used in the care home if
concerns were raised.
Not sure it’s right to list all the things you mentioned and
then relay that last message about driving. Wouldn’t it be
better to actually take the chance and let others decide if you
are safe. Seeking help may actually get you medical help that
may improve what you are coping with physically.
Sorry Mike, although I am sympathetic, I don’t agree with your
attitude - it doesn’t help Christine, or you and not to mention
anyone that may be impacted if you are unfit to drive .

Having a fighting spirit is not a bad thing Mike, however it can
also be pride or stubbornness. In and of itself if it impacts
you not getting the help, then only you lose out. However if you
yourself know that getting into your car is risky, and only you
truly know that, but it is what you have implied, then you
honestly need to think about whether it is right to just do it
regardless of potential risk.
Yesterday a young girl lost her whole family in a car wreck, so
at the age of 11years old she has to deal with that…….one lapse
of judgement on someone’s part ( there was a motorcycle involved
and two other people also died )
There are other ways to get out, taxis or hiring a carer who
drives- they will take you out and you have companionship as
well.

I am not meaning to come across as being harsh Mike , if you
were my dad and he was relaying the same info I would feel under
obligation to do something. It’s actually placed a burden on my
conscience and I am now stuck with that because there is little
I can do apart from speak out.
Getting older is hard, trust me I understand the grief and pain
that goes with losing independence bit by bit. I am at the
beginning of that journey , also I have never been a driver so I
have always had to find other ways to get around. I will say no
more about it xxx
