hello caz, hope you get your ankle sorted why cant they sort pain, i think the world would be a happier place, mind you mine is under fair controll just gets worse if ive not paced myself, it was such a good thing i learned at the pain management clinic i ended up doing hardly any house work lol.

i have a scan for 10 am to look at gall bladder and things

so im going to have a nice bath soon and a early night.

i was talking to joyce the other day poor love you could tell she was hhurting but you always manage to laugh out loud when having a conversation with her.

hello everyone xx :-D

Hi Girls, sorry not to have been on here for several days but what with one thing and another I haven't been able to. Last Thursday I had my first appointment with the Counsellor......it went well, I was happy to be able to talk to her again......I have another seven sessions, so hopefully I will feel a lot better by then.

Friday my cousin, her daughter and granddaughter came over to us for the day, so we took them out for lunch.it was lovely to see them all, and to catch up with each others news.

Then on Saturday morning I pulled a muscle in my back it's been very painful so I haven't been able to do very much at all, not even been be able to sit at the computer. It still isn't right but at least I can now sit at the computer for a short while.



Puss, nice to see you on here, as Mo said, this is a lovely happy and friendly thread, where we are all here to help each other when we need it and we all also enoy a good laugh.
Is it tomorrow you have your scan for gall stones? Hope all goes well for you.

Huia, like Mo I haven't heard of chocolate hot cross buns either, as far as I know we only have the traditional ones here in the UK.


Linda, sorry that you are suffering quite a lot with vertigo lately. I hope that you will feel better very soon.


Caz, I'm sorry to hear that your ankle is still very painful.....I hope that the hospital will soon be able to sort out the problem for you.



Mo, we would all be much better off financially if we didn't have to run a car, wouldn't we? As you said. we wouldn't be able to manage without a car though. I just hope that Alun will still be able to drive for many years to come.lol!!


Sylvia, hope all is well with you, OH and your family.


Joyce, hope you are OK. It will be nice when you get your chair lift in on Thurday.Hope it will all go according to plan.


Well girls must have a cuppa now so will speak to you all tomorrow.

Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Oooh look, I disappear for a while, and I miss everybody, thats just my luck isn't it.

Caz, I am sorry to hear you are still getting that rotten pain in your ankle. You are on pain killers arn't you love, so I wonder why they are not helping you with this situation. I just wish I could wave me magic wand and make everything alright for you, but I know thats not going to happen, so I will send you ((((((((((HUGS)))))))) instead.

Good luck with the scan Puss, let us know how you get on. We will be thinking of you love.
Talking of our playing darts. Both Roly and I have played for donkeys years, and we always play together in the pairs.
We play on the Kent board, a doubles board, and on thursdays I play on a treble board. Both totally different games, but great fun.

Hi ya Sallie,
I am pleased that you are seeing the counsellor at long last. You were so much better after your last session with her, and I'm sure the results will be the same as last time.
It sounds like we are all in the wars at the moment. How on earth did you manage to pull the muscle in your back. Not to much gardening I hope. Thats normally my downfall, when I see a weed, I have to pull it up, and then suffer afterwards. I try to remember to bend my knees, but it's easy to forget isn't it.

Thank you all for the news on Joyce. Fingers crossed that the fitting of the chair lift goes well. It will give Joyce a bit more independance wont it.

Going to my bed now, I am shattered, so I will say goodnight god bless, speak to you all tomorrow. Love Mo xxx

Mo, I am extremely cautious when using the circular saw, but still have the cordless phone nearby in case of accident. My dad lost 1and 1/2 fingers on his saw and Phil lost the tip of one finger, so I know how they can bite.

The choc hot cross bun doesnt have spices in it, it is just a rich chocolate flavoured soft bun, with a few fruit in and a cross on top. I wish they would make them all year (minus the cross of course). I keep some in the freezer and if I am going out for the day I take one out, split it and spread with marg, and I can have it for my lunch.

Re pain, a recent article in our paper said that heart attack patients who are given morphine for the pain are less likely to survive than those who dont have it. Apparently the pain sends out a message and some stem cells are recruited to the heart to repair the damaged bit. Presumably the same thing applies with pain in other parts of the body. I usually suffer pain in silence unless it is extreme, then I might take a panadol or some such.

Huia.

Hi all
xxx


we had lovely sunny weather, and quite warm, for the whole weeknd, but then it turned cloudy on Tuesdya morning. Rain is forecasst for Wednesday.


The family got 10 cm SNOW on Easter Sunday morning :-D



I will be away Thursday and Friday .............. our close friend turns 80 on Thursday, so we are going to the Island to be with him. Unfortunately, his dementia is getting worse ............ he's now like a small child, knows it is his birthday and how old he is BUT ..........................



take care everyone

Hello everyone,


Mo, I pulled the muscle in my back just by coughing and moving very, very slightly. I've had this cough for a few weeks, after having the virus that I picked up 7weeks ago. Goodness knows where Jennie, Michael, Alun and myself picked it up from, but I do know that although it's a lot better than it's been, it's taking it's time to clear competely.

Do you still play darts on a Thursday night? I'm sure you have already told me, but have forgotten what you you said.......it must be old age, my memory isn't as good as it use to be.lol!!



Puss, how did you get on with your scan today? I hope that it went well and with nothing to worry about.



Sylvia, if I remember rightly, I'm sure that you once told us that your daughter lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I didn't realise that there was a cemetry there where some of the victims of the Titanic are buried. I expect you knew about it and maybe even visited it.



Caz, hope your ankle is feeling a bit easier today and you are not in so much pain. I also loved to do jigsaws, but it's a good few years since I've done one.
My friends husband spends a good bit of the weekend doing them......he's addicted to them, I think.lol!!



Ann, Joyce, Marie and Linda, hope you are all okay.




Having problems with Error message again. Just as I was coming to the end of this post I thought I had lost it when the usual Error message came up, even though I hadn't pressed submit it had posted on here......thank goodness, I was pleased that I didn't have to do it all again.



Well ladies, I must go and make the dinner now, so will speak to you all later.


Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello all, I seem to not have been on here for a couple of days sorry. So busy coping with these new teeth of OH's that I don't know where I am Lol!!! Have managed to make a few cards which I took to the CRUK shop this morning. OH went to golf so I went into town on my own for a change. Amazing how much more quickly I can get around town on my own.

Caz, my daughter did loads of jigsaws while recovering from her op, all 1000 piece ones. I suppose at least they have told you it is going to take a long time for your ankle to heal, better than fobbing you off with this and that medication.

Sylvia, ooh, that is a lot of snow for April, still I am sure theya re used to it and prepared. I hope your friend can enjoy his birthday on his level, sad for the rest of you who remember him as he was though.

Puss, nice to see you on here. Hope the scan went OK.

Mo, I have not got a clue about darts, can't throw them, can't play. It is very strange if I ever try to throw them my fingers just seem to freeze and the dart won't leave my hand!! Weird I am :-D

Huia, I wouldn't know what to do with a circular saw and have no intention of learning. The idea of you wealding one, I am in awe!!

Sallie, hope you get on ok with the counsellor and that you soon start to feel better. :-) :-)

Good evening everyone,
I like the rest of you am wondering how Puss got on at her scan today. Lets hope she's o.k, and that we hear something very soon from her.

Ah Sylvia, bless your friend. It must be so hard seeing him like this, especially as he was such a learned man before.
Is his wife still alive I have forgotten, you have probably told us, but I am such a scatter brain.
And will you be having a bit of a party for him?

Sallie, that cough following the virus, is a right beast to get rid off. And I believe it's an air born virus, and lots of people caught it.
Have you been getting Alun to rub your back in with an embrocation like deep heat or something on those lines. Mind you, thats if you are allowed to use that type of thing,as not everybody can if they are on certain medications.
Yes honey I still play darts on Thursdays, and still on Mondays at the moment. We only have about three more games left for the Mondays, before the season ends.
I am still getting the error message as well. But what is really annoying is, that I have deleted myself from some threads that I had added to, the written message has gone, but the threads themsleves have not gone from my threads, but what I added HAS gone.

Ann, has your T had problems with his new teeth then. Roly will still not wear his new ones, even though the dentist ground some of off them to make them more comfortable. He's a stubborn old Bu**er, and says that they feel uncomfortable.
I love to go shopping on my own, but like you, dont get much of an opportunity to do so.
Roly is not exactly a shopperholic, and cant wait to get out of shops. I'm sure he's scared stiff that I am going to max his cards out, silly boy, I would use my own, I couldn't put up with his nagging at me if I did that. lol
I do need a days shopping soon, to buy some bits for my holiday next month. Not that we are going abroad, but I might need some more winter clothes for this country, the way our weather is lately.

Huia, let us know if you are still all in one piece love.

I am going for now, but will pop back later to see if there is any news from Puss. Byeeee

thankyou ALL for the lovely welcome

Scan went ok, results in 10 days , all she said was there looked nothing serious, but doctor may want to run some more tests RE liver function.

sallie i hope your back will be ok and thanks, just couldnt think why i hadnt seen this thread before,

im going up and down this thread trying to remember names and what to add to the right name, so bare with me if i ask how your neck is when its your foot hurting lol

hello caz, have i seen you somewhere before,, lol

thanks for thinking of me mo xx :-D

Oh thank goodness, you are back Puss.
Now comes the big wait for you, but if they say that they see nothing serious, then try not to worry yourself to much. They WILL get you sorted out, by hook or by crook love.
Don't worry yourself about remembering our names, it will all come to you sooner or later.
I know most of our friends names, but still get myself confused at times.
Mind you I do the same with my grandchildren, they are never sure who the heck I am talking to half the time, coz I get their names muddled so often.
Right I can go to my bed knowing that all is well.
Night god bless one and all, speak to you tomorrow sometime. Love Mo xxx

Puss, fingers crossed for good results then.

Mo T is having a bit of trouble getting used to the teeth, He had a bit ground off yesterday and they seem much better today. His gums are sore of course so it won't be comfortable until they heal, but he is persevering.

Mo, yes Alun has been rubbing some deep heat onto my back for me and I must say it certainly helps with the pain.
I know quite a few people that have had the same virus and have taken a long time to feel really better again.



Ann, hope T will get use to his new teeth soon. Years ago one of my uncles could wear his teeth all day but would always take them out to eat his food.lol!! How on earth he managed to do that, I don't know.



Puss, thanks for letting us know about your scan. Try not to worry about the results as I'm sure that they will be OK.



Well girls I'll say goodnight now , speak to you all again tomorrow.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello all. Just popping in to let Mo know that I am still in one piece. I will be visiting Phil after lunch, and then having a meeting with the people there who will tell me how Phil is! Well, they give me a doc's report and that sort of thing. It happens every 6 months I think.

Salli . i kind of on a even keel, i got very low last november and had snough of the pain, then moving to smaller then staying put, it just got too much plus i was trying to look after my mum, who is very well and only 63 but isnt coping with the death of my s dad, doc alterd some tablets of mine, so only very rarely do i feel low, and if i do its only lack of sleep, so im very lucky.

i see the gyne next week as to wether there is going to be any treatmentfrom the biopsies, but i do know the surrounding tissue is healthy and normal, so i havent to worry on that/

im really sorry that some of you have pain and OHs with pain, ive just used my husbands tens mach on my shoulders as ive been sat making bracelets all night lol aches, terrible .

Take care everyone and I hope you all have a lovely day.



Love, Sallie.xxx
