Also for some reason it is a little difficult to focus today. No idea why. Maybe because of the wind, because of the wind.So it is hard to focus and that's just too bad, too bad because I do want to be sophisticated and complex today. Maybe not be, but just sound like that, sound. So, complicated, to make complicated sentences, to have complicated ideas, to sound sophisticated. And I love this word 'sophisticated'. I know a lot about a lot of interesting, important things. I'm sophisticated.So let's not be simple, let's be complex and sophisticated, But how, how? Easy. That's an easy way, that's an easy way. It will make you sound sophisticated. Quite simple. That's an easy way WHICH makes you sound sophisticated. Much better, much much much more complex and sophisticated. Yeah, we can go on and on like that, At least I will try, because still not very focused, I'm not very focused today, WHICH is not very easy. Which, which is, which is not very easy. Okay so far so good. Now, I have a friend, I have a friend. She is very sophisticated. So, I have a friend WHO is very sophisticated. And she talks a lot. I have a friend WHO talks a lot. So this time, who, who talks a lot, who. Yeah, sounds very sophisticated, very.Okay, so today is Sunday, today is Sunday. I am very active on this day, usually. So, Sunday is the day WHEN I am very active, Sunday is the day when I am very active. Maybe not that very active, just active, let's leave it at that, active,And I usually have a family dinner, I usually have a family dinner. It is usually around 3pm. Early dinner, very early dinner. So, I have a family dinner, WHICH starts usually at around 3pm on a Sunday, on a Sunday. Does it sound sophisticated enough to you? Does it sound sophisticated? I am sure it does. Yeah, right. Okay, and... Oh I am looking outside, still windy. By the way, this wind is blowing from the west, from the west. So, that is the wind WHICH is blowing from the west.

• #86 LukeLikes「Off Day」

  Luke Likes 'Off Day'It's Sunday today, it's Sunday, it's beautiful, it's beautiful, but this wind, oh god, it is very, very windy. I don't know why, I have no idea. Well, how should I know? How should I know? So, what I do know, what I do know is that first, my plants don't like that, don't like that at all. And second, no tennis and no basketball outdoors today either. Life. Either way, either way, so anyway, either way, either way, I'm having a pretty good day, a pretty good day. It's summer and Sunday after all, after all, so I should not complain about anything, but sometimes everything should be fine, but for some reason, reason, for some reason, you don't feel all that well, all that well.Do you know this feeling? Do you know? Unfortunately, I do too, I do too. And I'm wondering, am I sick of something? Or what is wrong? What is the matter? What is wrong? Nothing hurts, nothing hurts. I don't get any symptoms, at least, I can't see any. But still, still, I'm having an off day. Do you know what an off day is? Well, exactly that, exactly that. It's not the best day for you. You are feeling a little down, maybe tired. You try one thing or another thing and you can't get any satisfaction. That is an off day. That's how I see it, that's how I see it.So, physically, you are alright, but mentally, mentally, so in your head, so to speak, mentally, you are not feeling okay, you are not feeling okay. What do you do then? What do you do? That's a good question.Medicine, take the meds. No, no, no, that's not what I recommend. Probably, probably, the answer is a little different for everybody. So, for me, that could definitely, definitely be doing sports, doing sports, especially outside, outdoors. Well, not today and damn it. That's okay, not that bad. So, when I do sports, I get really, really tired, but at the same time, at the same time, I can free my head of any problems I might have at the moment. And that's how I cope, I cope, so I manage on an off day, on an off day.Actually, I used to think that I love sports and I love to be active, but now, I'm sure that this is a coping strategy, a coping strategy that helps me more mentally, mentally than physically.That's incredible, really, and it's funny how it works. I'm sure this is not just me. My whole family, my whole family seems to function like that, and they are very, very like me, or I'm very like them. We cope in the same way, do sport. Not to keep fit, keep fit, but to feel better, feel better, on an off day especially, and I'm sure that other people do that too.One of my students, a very busy man, a businessman, a businessman, so a lot of things on his mind, which means a lot of problems, a lot of worries to think about. So he just started, started going to the gym regularly, regularly, regularly, and I saw him the day after that, and he was in such a pain, in such a pain, he could hardly walk because his muscles were so sore, painful, sore muscles.So I smiled and asked him, oh wow, you must feel horrible, you must feel horrible. So that's it for you, right? Are you kidding? Are you kidding?, he said. Can hardly walk, but never felt better, never felt better. And this is exactly what I mean. On an off day, just turn it on, turn it on. That's my medicine. Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!-------------------------------------------Intro/Outro Music By:Joakim Karud -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Longing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠License:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠

• #85 LukeLikes「Surgery」

  Luke Likes 'Surgery'Well, this is windy today. Oh my goodness. I thought I could play some basketball outside, outdoors, outside. But no, no, that's not going to happen. It is a little cold, sure, but also this is so annoying, annoying when you do that in the wind. So no, I'm not going to do that to myself today, maybe tomorrow.Anyway, anyway, I'm here, recording, recording, and I found out, I found out, well, nothing good, actually, nothing good. My friend is going to have a surgery, surgery.So in other words, in other words, she is going to go to a hospital and doctors are going to put her on the table, open her body and fix, fix her hip. Because this is a hip surgery.Do you know what a hip is? Hip, hip, hip, like hip hop. No, nothing to do with music this time. Nothing to do, nothing to do with music. This is the top of your leg, of your leg that connects to your waist. Yeah, this is as close as I can explain that. So we all have two hips, the left one and the right one.And the problem with her hip, the problem with her hip started quite a long time ago, I can remember that. So we can say she has a lot of issues, issues, so problems, issues with her hip. And first she felt uncomfortable, just uncomfortable, but then it became worse and worse so that she couldn't sleep at night. And that's a real issue when that happens.So what do you do? Well, first of all, you take painkillers, painkillers to kill the pain, to manage the pain. And this is what she did, what she tried. A lot actually, a lot. Didn't help much, didn't help much.So what else can you do? You can look for help. So she made a lot of appointments with a lot of doctors. She had a lot of tests on her hip and on her leg. Because it turns out, it turns out it is all connected. It's not a surprise actually that one issue is connected with another one. It's all connected.She also tried physiotherapy, physiotherapy, so treatment on your body from a physio, from a physio, like massage and special exercises. Didn't help, didn't help unfortunately. So finally, finally after all this time, she is sure she has to have a hip surgery. There is no other way. Yeah, that's what we can say here. No other way than a surgery. So she set the date, set the date and it will obviously take place at a hospital. It will not take a lot of time actually, around one, two hours maybe. Well, I'm not sure about that. But the day after that, after the surgery, she will have to start recovery, recovery, recovery time. So she will have to get back to normal, get back to normal. She will stay at a hospital for a few days and then another stage, so another step, another stage will start, the rehab, rehab stage. So it means she will try and move, move her leg a lot and after a few weeks, come back to her regular activities, regular, everyday life. Which is optimistic actually, because now she might be worried and she is, she tells me, she is in a lot of pain, in a lot of pain and she cannot live like that anymore.But after that time of surgery, recovery and rehab, she will start a new, a new, a new life and this is very uplifting, uplifting.So she must remember that, the good days are coming.Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!-------------------------------------------Intro/Outro Music By:Joakim Karud -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Longing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠License:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠

Let's play. So it is something you are, it is something you are when you are not feeling very well, and it is something a doctor can help you with. Do you know? Yeah, you are sick or ill, sick ill, or you have an illness or sickness. Alright, let's move on. It is something a doctor does, so not you this time. It is something a doctor does to help you, and it is something that a doctor does to find out what is wrong with you, medically, wrong medically, not mentally? Do you know? Yeah, examine, doctor examines you, examines. Alright. This time it is something you have, it is something you have to get treatment, so to get help from a doctor or a hospital, and it is something you pay for, it is something you pay for regularly. Yeah, sorry. Do you know? Yeah, this is your medical insurance, medical insurance. Alright, and now, it is something you really want, it is something you really want when you are not healthy, and it is something you hopefully, hopefully, finally do when you get better, you get better after an illness. Do you know? Yeah, you recover after an illness. Yes you do, yes you do. Alright, time for the next one. It is something you feel, and it is something you feel when something is not right with your body, and it is something you should talk about when you have an appointment with a doctor. Do you know? Yeah, they are your symptoms, your symptoms. I'm sorry, I'm getting sicker and sicker over here. Stay with me, stay with me. So this is something you can show to a chemist, chemist or pharmacist. It is something that sometimes, sometimes is on prescription, prescription from a doctor, and finally it is something that can have a long list, a long list of side effects, we don't want them, but yeah, they do, they do have long lists of side effects. Do you know? Yeah, it's medicine, medicine or meds. Not a big fan of those. Okay, a few more to go, a few more to go. It is something you feel, it is something you feel sort of in your head, and it is something you feel in your head sometimes when you feel weak and you want to sit down for a second. Do you know? Yeah, that's dizzy, dizzy, you feel dizzy. Funny word, funny English word, dizzy.Alright, so it is something you get, it is something you get when you are allergic, allergic, and it is something you get in case of, in case of emergency. Very serious, very serious situation.Do you know? Yeah, it's an injection, injection or a shot, shot also good. I mean not good, you know what I mean. Alright, here comes the last one, the last one. It is something you feel and it is something you feel and you really, really want to do something about that really, really, really bad. So it is something you feel, you want to do something about it and you want to scratch it, scratch it, scratch this because if you don't you feel like you're going to explode. Do you know? Yeah, it's itchy, itchy.

• #83 LukeLikes「Painless」

  Luke Likes 'Painless'Painless, without pain. Who doesn't want that? I do, I do, I do, yes please. Yeah, that would be nice, that would be nice, definitely ff we could live without pain. Maybe one day, but for now there are treatments, so there are some ways to get better, treatments. And thank God, thank God.So let's take a cold, for example. If you catch a cold you can always find some treatments. Well, first thing, first thing you should do is stay in bed, stay in bed, and get plenty of rest. That's for sure. And besides that, drink plenty of fluids, fluids, yeah. Well, I do sound like a professional medical help. I am not, definitely I am not. But that is what I would do. Seems reasonable, reasonable.And in case of fever, if you run a fever, so you have a high body temperature, maybe take an aspirin. And for runny nose, runny nose, don't forget about the tissues, tissues. That's all you can do here. But overall, not that serious, not that serious.Not as serious as injuring your leg, for example. Injuring your leg might be a little more tricky, tricky to treat. So first of all, if there is a swelling, I would put some ice on it, put some ice, Ice, ice, ice pack on it to keep it cool, keep it cool. Yeah, that would definitely help the swelling. You could also try and rub in some ointment, ointment. And it's definitely good to avoid, avoid exercise if you injure your leg.But if that doesn't help, well, it's time to see a doctor and run some tests. Probably you should have an x-ray, x-ray, and then see what's next, what's next. And then it gets really serious. Well, it might, it might, it doesn't have to, obviously. Hope, let's hope for the best, let's hope for the best. Let's hope it is not broken, it is not broken. And let's hope you don't have to put it in a cast, in a plaster cast.Yeah, and what if you feel exhausted, very, very tired. All the time, that seems like a complex issue, complex, so complicated problem, difficult problem. Well, obviously you need plenty of rest and plenty of good sleep, good quality sleep. Not that easy for me, actually. Perhaps, perhaps, so maybe, perhaps it's the diet. So you should follow a specific diet. You should definitely not forget about regular exercise. And if that doesn't help, maybe run some tests. And see a specialist, see a specialist, and that's the way to go.And finally, what to do if you cut your hand, in the kitchen, for example, while cooking, while cooking. Happens to everyone, happens to everyone. Well, you need to stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding, so stop the blood from coming out. So if it's small, you can put on a small bandaid, bandaid, or plaster, a plaster, a bandaid, or bandage it, bandage it. Anyone can do that.Not everyone can put on the stitches if the cut is very serious, you get that at the hospital. Don't try and do that yourself. That's a no-no. And maybe a painkiller, painkiller, to help and manage, manage the pain. But if not, well, call an ambulance, call ambulance, and go to hospital.There is no way around it, no way around it then. Sorry. We do want it to be painless, painless, don't we?Yeah, let's keep it this way.Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!-------------------------------------------Intro/Outro Music By:Joakim Karud -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Longing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠License:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠
