More troubles aka Bloodspill III

On Monday I was all ready to go to work. The neck was sore but it was loads better then last week. But any proper activity was not meant for me that day. The nose bleed started again (8:45) and 10 am I was still bleeding. Pretty or not I stuck 2 vaginal tampons into my nose (they immediatelly soaked with blood), put a bowl under my chin and took the car keys! Thanks God I have an automatic gearbox! When I was at the lights or somewhere other drivers can see me, I slightly covered my nose with hand so that no one can see. A driver with vaginal tampons in her nose! Call the papers!

My Mum took me to D.L.O., who stuck (in a very violent way) some other type of tampons into my nose (which actually stopped the bleeding) and sent me to a hospital. But hospital D.L.O. made a conclusion that the tamponade is nicely done and I should come on Wednesday so that she can take it out. Awesome! Another 2 days in bed! Awesome! I could not breathe via nose as both holes were stuffed with some shit. Awesome! And I looked as if somebody rammed me. Awesome! Constantly thirsty. Awesome!

On Wednesday she took the tampons out and instructed me with proper care. I will go there in 3 weeks so that she can burn the bad vessels to prevent them from bleeding. No more slaughtering in 2011:-)

Up and Down

I had a dream on Wednesday. It is not that important what it was about, just the end of it.
I though that I might go to pee so I sighed, streched my body and all of sudden I heard (more precisely - I felt) a click at the back of my neck. At that moment I woke up. Misery! I couldn't move as my neck was blocked and every move was a terrible pain. Ddesperate situation. After several minutes I somehow managed to find a way to get out of bed and I crawled to the doctor's. Nothing is bad as it seems so I got one pain-killing shot, the chiropractor/doctor worked on my spine (ouch, that was not a pleasant moment), I got some drugs and chiropractic sessions. I relaxed for 3 days, off work, and the cervical collar also helps - my head doesn't dangle from one side to the other:-). It is ok to dangle only in yes-no direction:-D. I will be fit for Christmas. Amen!

Nightmare Before Christmas

This is not going to be about Tim Burton but about a real life story. Unbelievable story, almost a thriller.
Some time in the spring of 2010 a man came to my grandparents' door and explained that they might have cheaper electricity if they signed his paper. They signed. Not long after that, grandfather realised that he did a stupid thing and called me. So I took some serious actions: I called the company to ask how I can cancell the contract and then I wrote an official letter cancelling the contract. Grandfather was scolded for what he did and also we besought him not to sign anything for any stanger that might come to their door. He also received a confirmation letter from the "new" company, which cancelled the contract. We were so relieved!
Nevertheless, this was not the happy ending yet. First warning arrived in September. My grandfather received a letter from his usual provider announcing that his current contract has expired and someone is coming to dismount the electricity gauge he possesses. This alarmed us so I called the company, explained what happened and everything was fine again. Happy end!

Last week I went to see my grandparents again and grandfather announced that he signed a contact again! This time not only for a new electricity provider but for a gas provider! too! I almost got a heart attack. After some serious reproches and nerve-wracking shouting on my grandfather I confiscated the new contract to study it. Shame on me - I was really shouting on him. The guy told them that they will have cheaper electricity and gas but still, they will be supplied by their usual providers (but the payment will go to his company) and that they will be able to save some money. Wow! As if the savings of 3% would matter!
Me and Dad studied their offer - apparently no reasonable saving was guaranteed and it looked like huge troubles. So I produced a new letter of cancellation and sent it to the new company. on Monday. To make sure nothing goes wrong I first called he gas provider to tell him problems are on the way. I was told by a nice lady that we have to wait for the confirmation of cancellation and then send it to the gas company and the electricity provider too. Damn! So grandfather is condemned to waiting for the confirmation of cancellation and to hoping it won't take more than 3 months.
Does it sound like a fairy tale to you? It is not a fairy tale! True story. Tell your friends. Watch your grandparents!

Comfy

My bedroom is a nicer place to sleep in now. I finally bought a carpet (of beige colour), which replaced a 25-year old carpet (yuck!). Morevover, new chest of drawers, some furniture shuffling and clean window brough fresh wind of change into my sleeping kingdom. The overwhelming and fresh smell of novelty cheered me up in the time before Christmas. So which part of the flat is next? I wish I could rebuilt the kitchen but I can't unless I buy my own flat. Which is very unlikely.
