Zombie's Journey - A Wedding, A Final Christmas and Planning for a Wake

[IamtheZombie]

Previous thread is HERE

ZombieLad gets married today. Hats on and champagne at the ready!

A week today he and ZombieLass arrive to spend Christmas with me. It will be the Best. Christmas. Ever.

There have been no miracles so my remaining days keep ticking away. Life is for living. Death is not to be feared. Wakes are for celebrating.

Please join me.

Another sleepless night.

Somerville, I too have lurked on some of your threads and hope you have a lovely wedding with no hassle and no nastiness Fid, you really are rising above it if you can cope with your ex behaving like that! An excellent example of fortitude in the face of fuckwittery

Zombie, it's great to hear that you are getting the help you need from all corners. All the negative stuff that gets bandied around about the NHS is horrible to read. My DM worked as a SRN for years and taught me only good things about it, so it's lovely to know that it still works for people the way it should.

Somer have a lovely Christmas and wedding.

Unborn I wrap the presents on Christmas Eve.

Zombie I think you have a valid excuse for not doing Christmas shopping, I'm sure the ZKids will just be happy to see you.

ikl, those strides are a bit, erm, red. Red is so not my colour. I suit yellow better...

Another delurker here... ask for chocolate flavoured Movical on prescription. It's great mixed with milk.

Z - hope your hectic day passes easily and Somer, good luck with nuptials....

One yellow pair coming up Doctor

Happy Merry wedding Somer - enjoy your day.

Zombie - hope all goes well today & parcel is exciting. Rest, rest & more rest. You ramble, moan & rant as much as you like. The phalanx is all ears & shoulders. Wait. That makes us look weird. You know what I mean. Lots of luck for today.

Good luck with all your tasks today zombie! May the angels lift you over each hurdle you face today 🌺🌸🌺🌸

I'm fascinated by the potential contents of this mysterious parcel.

Somer, wishing you a lovely Christmas, happy wedding day and a very very happy life with Lovely

I love all the suggestions for Movicol et al cocktails

Zombie, presents, schmesents. Surely Christmas is all about being with loved ones?
I have no idea how I am going to wrap our presents as the older DSs now go to bed later than I want to...

I'm home. Remarkably I managed to do everything on my "running around like a headless chicken" list.

I changed my morphine patch after my shower. 1 x 12 off and 2 x 12 on.

Ultrasound. I had a very nice doctor perform the ultrasound. He obviously saw lots of cancer but nothing that requires any sort of intervention at this point. Bile ducts are open. Kidneys look OK. As I had been unable to have anything by mouth (save for the 5 ml of Oramorph I took at 07.00 am and just enough sips of water to keep my mouth from turning into the Sahara Desert), I headed straight for the League of Friends shop afterwards where I scoffed a jam doughnut and cup of coffee. I had also taken all my other meds with me so I took them then.

Sainsburys. Not the most fun I've ever had but I managed to shuffle my way around and obtain sufficient food to get us all through tomorrow and Saturday lunch time. As expected, the checkout queues were enormous but the lady behind me overheard me tell one of the supervisors that I would need help with packing. She immediately offered to help. Between us it all went very, very smoothly. I had over £50 worth of Nectar points so I went ahead and used all of it against the bill. I reckoned they weren't going to be of much use in the afterlife.

Car was filled and is much happier with a full tummy.

Sorting office. LARGE parcel collected. I've not opened it yet. I may do it tomorrow or I may take it along to the in-laws to open on Christmas Day. Decisions, decisions.

By this time it was 1.30 pm and the GP surgery was closed for lunch. I went to a cafe and had a cup of coffee to kill some time. I walked across to the surgery just after 2.00 pm and collected the (rather large) bottle of Oramorph and the 25 mcg morphine patches.

Shortly after I arrived home, one of my solicitors rang and we chatted for just over half an hour.

I hereby declare that I have done enough for today; I have had a further 10 ml of Orapmorh, prepared a hot water bottle and I am now putting my feet up and relaxing. I've bloody earned it.

Too right you've earned it. Wow. That's some going. Rest up for Friday.

" I had over £50 worth of Nectar points so I went ahead and used all of it against the bill. I reckoned they weren't going to be of much use in the afterlife."
I hate to break it to you but they've just opened a giant sainsburys.
You sound like you've had a very busy day. Hope that rest includes chocolates and maybe wine?

Bloody right you've earned a rest now Zombie. Here's to a restful night, movin' where things need moving and a pain free Christmas.

OMG, I am exhausted reading that list off accomplishments!
Feet up, hot drink, cake and later something to go nicely with the Oramorph
Is it one more sleep now to Zlad's arrival??

Crikey. I'm exhausted reading that list and I'm not even on meds!

A large parcel? You have a great deal of willpower, woman. I'd be stuck in there already.

Blinking heck lass, I'm comparatively healthy and that day would do for me.

Enjoy your hot water bottle and your feet up.

On the food front, when ZLad is about to nip to the shops, raspberries are good, as are the little pots of custard and the rice pudding pots.

Definitely SuperZombie pleased everything went smoothly

You've done massively well today - time to put the feet up I think!

Zombie you are one amazing lady! While you are resting, we the phalanx are donning pretty skirts and hats zooming on my private jet to Heathrow , singing high on a hill sits the amazing zombie!!!! We will bring the zombie kids home to you! 😘😘

Bloody hell Z, that's very busy, productive day.

Are you sure there weren't any other little meds sneaked in to help?!
Hmm?
I'd have needed something extra to steam through all that with such aplomb

I had over £50 worth of Nectar points so I went ahead and used all of it against the bill. I reckoned they weren't going to be of much use in the afterlife.

:o That is brilliant. :o

Good god Zombie, you have had a day of it. I thought I had had a busy day, but I haven't been tearing about the place like you. I don't know actually how you do it all. Good to use up your nectar points, saves a bit of cash for another time. I imagine you will be able to zonk out tonight unless you can't sleep for excitement !!

The phalanx is all ears and shoulders

Blimey zombie! I'm more of a long time lurker and very seldom poster but that deserves coming out of obscurity for. Go you, get some rest before the arrivals come.

Glad you managed to squeeze so much into your day. I hope your Sainsburys car park isn't as badly designed as mine; it took me longer getting in, parked and out again than it did doing the actual shopping!

Hope you're getting some rest in preparation for your VIZ Very Important Zombies
