Yawn Yawn, Wakey WAKEY...!! 2015

Good morning everyone,

It's finally got to the day to say a proper cheerio to MIL ... A difficult one but one that has to be done so there's no getting out of it...

Take it easy everyone and take care

 

Good morning everyone,

Loli, our thoughts will be with you today, hope it all goes well. God bless.

Shiney, glad you are slowly getting back on your feet, so to speak! Take it easy.

WOO, hope all is well in your world and you are not overdoing things.
Eve, hope your shoulder and arm are now on the mend and Honey is back on form.
Zigs, hope all is well down there with you too.

Have a good day everyone, stay safe, dry and warm and above all well.
God bless.

 

Afternoon all

Had a couple of days in Eastbourne visiting my Dad and sorting out his care provision as it had all gone pear shaped. He'd had a review the week before and they'd reduced his care visits from 4 to 3 a day, which was fine, but the stupid social worker cancelled ALL his carers instead of just the mid afternoon one and my Dad had no support at all for a week. My poor sister was getting the run around from everyone and trying to see to my Dad in the meantime but she's not well herself and doesn't need that stress. Thankfully I've managed to get the visits re-instated though at the moment it's just twice a day as they can't fit in the third one yet. He pays for the service too, so we'll be checking the invoices carefully and making sure he's not getting charged for something he's not getting.

In better news Honey has had her stitches out and enjoying running around a bit more. Cooper has done something to his foot though so Richard has just popped to the vet with him. Honey is having a strop because her brother has dared to go off in the car without her, little madam. Dogs, don't you just love them

My arm and shoulder are definitely getting better, thank you to all who asked. Bit achey from all the driving over the past few days, but I have quite a bit more mobility. The physio I was going to see has selfishly gone on holiday this week just as I'd geared myself up to being tortured - how very dare she . So I'll start next week instead.

Hope today went as well as these things can, Loli. Must be exhausting for you and Mr Loli, coping with this as well as looking after the family. Hope you get some time to yourself tomorrow.

Sorry to hear your foot is still so bad Moyra. Did you find out what caused it?

Pleased you're on the mend Shiney, and that Mrs Shiney is making sure you don't overdo things.

Hope everyone else is well - have a nice peaceful afternoon and evening

 

Gout, Eve, brought on by too heavy a diet of tomatoes. And now I think because of the paracetamol and ibuprofen I have taken it must be affecting my kidneys as I suffer with CKD3 and should try to keep off these painkillers. I think this is causing my ankles and legs to swell.

 

Oh Moyra, how awful for you. Bad enough having the problem without being able to treat the symptoms because of your kidney problems. I've heard drinking apple cider vinegar diluted in warm water can help if you want to come off the ibuprofen.

 

Good morning everyone,
Pleased to report my ankle is much better this morning, just hope I am not speaking too soon but I intend to take Amber out for a little walk in a short while once it is fully light!

Hope everything went ok for you yesterday Loli and you gave your MIL a good send off.

Shiney, hope you are on the mend.

Eve, hope you got Cooper's foot sorted out at the vet and glad you were able to sort out your dads care.

WOO and Zigs, hope all is well in your worlds.

Have a good day all, take care, stay safe, dry and warm and above all well.
God Bless.

 

Morning all

Dreary and drizzly here today. Rain is getting heavier as I type so doesn't look like I'll get out in the garden today. Might sow some seeds in the conservatory instead.

Glad your foot is a bit better Moyra, hope it coped with taking Amber for her walk.

Sounds like an interesting walk round your garden Shiney. I can get to the Open Day this year then I can see it for myself.

Cooper's foot is fine. He'd pulled one of his nails out but it came away cleanly and should grow back with no problems. He's a bit accident prone is my little clown.

Sending good thoughts to Loli, hoping yesterday went well.

Have a great day everyone.

 

Morning early people

Not very nice here at the moment Won't be much digging today.

Have a good day everyone and mind that polar vortex

 

Dull, dark,dreary, windy and wet here,
utterly wretched,
