Hi Yvonne I wish . ? my cold has got worse even my eyes hurt and keep running what with that an my cough.I am dreading going to bed tonight.
I had some cards come and with them enclosed were letters I now have 12 to answer and dont feel like doing anything. I had a nice one from my last Scout Group their leader sent me a card and a letter telling me all they had acheived during the past year it is so nice to keep up with them,It was their 75th anniversary this year and I could not go as i was away.
I had an email from my son he wasnt feeling well. I said he must have caught this cold off of me he was here at weekend seeing to my DVD digital.
Then My daughter emailed me my son in law had his scan on Monday and he goes back to the hospital to get the results to see if they managed to get rid of the cancer after the big op naturally we are all worried about it.? I asked her did she get pn at her check up from the doctors.
Mum dont ask was the reply to that email.
She has bad news. her blood pressure has shot through the roof and they doubled her pills. her thyroids were not good so they upped those as well.she is dibetic that was higher than it should be and she had put on a little more weight.. she said to him so I am in a bad way, ?he said you could say that.. but your be alright so long as you take more care. she said he wrote her new perscription outl. she told him nothing is going right in the family. Megan is having to have a big operation in June next year. her brother had, two teeth out monday Megan and Ryans Dad was ill he has tonsillitis I said do you think they have forgotten their are others about

Rita

yvonne i dont think any one is back from shoping yet
thay must still have some money to spend lol

Afternoon everyone

thanks for the cards Marilyn and Mo, I haven't got anyone's home address.

Enjoy yourself in Norwich Marilyn

How are feeling Rita, has your cold gone

I went out for Christmas dinner on Monday evening with my fellow dinner ladies and playground assistants, it was very nice, we had a good gossipand a few laughs, got chucked out at eleven when 'time' was called

Son put the tree up and decorated it yesterday, he likes doing that, he says I put too much on and it looks tacky so I left him to it, he's done a good job, looks lovely

it's been raining today

hope you are all well

good after nonn all

iv been dossing all morning
its a dull dingy day here today and boaring

Dermot ask at your nearest Abbey they have good Habits.

Linda your father has done well then with all the trouble he has had. my
Father died in 2001 he was 92 nearly 93 and had not had many illnesses in his life a couple of accidents in his job then he had lung cancer and that was what killed him .
I think your Parents will be better off in a retirment home it must be such a worry to you and the family, there they will have someone with them to be at hand for them in emergencies.
We have wood doctors here at the moment trimming back the trees.our trees have a presavation order on them . and they have to get permission by the council if they need trimming or cutting back.

I had to laugh if the health and Safety man was here he would tell this guy off. watching the Health and Safety man on Tv last night gave me a laugh as ill as I felt . if he had his way we would have no tree lights. no baubles on the trees as dogs or small children might swollow them?
no Christmas crackers as the bang inside is an explosive and could cause a fire. no turkey to go in the oven as it is heavy getting it out and the fat being hot might burn you.it went on and on even to placing a star or fairy at the top of the tree. it is Safety going over the top.

I was looking at some photos this morning old ones and there is one of my Gan (my mothers Mum ) in a portrait photo with her two sisters all dressed up in their kilts the photo must be very old.as Gran was born in 1887 and this was before she got married.

I need a cup of coffee now.

take care.

Rita

I find it very difficult to get into a good habit.

Rita
No they just said his medication wasn't right so have changed it again. Only did taht abot 6 weeks ago just before their anniversary if you remember as he was in hospital then too.
I don't even know what he is on now !!!
His health problems are wide ranging, he has enphesyma(Sp) from working in the painter decorator trade = breathing in dust from laed paint, asbestos from artex, wood chip paper etc. and of course smoking until 25 years ago!!
Then there were his heart problems, heart attack 25 years ago, double heart bypass, nearly 2 years ago, stent, defibulator and something to regulate arythmia !!!
He has asthma too.
So it is amazing that he is still with us, a marvel of a very good health service to be sure.
Mum has a bad spine after years of pain and treatment, she no longer walks anywhere, and Dad of course can no longer push her wheel chair.
She had breast cancer about 12 years ago, but survived and now the dementia. Oh nearly forgot the diabetes, now insulin dependant and caused a heart valve problem from one of her tablets. She like you has warfarin and the regular blood tests for that.
They have a stannah stair lift to their flat, but hardly get out now unless it is for hospital appointments.
But they are still together and support each other so what more can we ask for.

Take care and hope you soon get over this horrible cough you have got

Linda :o) XxX

Night Night Marilyn, have a safe journey tomorrow.

I am of to my bed soon as well, so I will say good night god bless everyone. Mo xxx

Linda I am sorry to hear of your OH's knee problems. It's good that dad is home again. Perhaps mum will be able to settle a little bit now.
It's so hard having to face the facts, that our parents need a care home.
I went through so much guilt over my mum, but I could not cope,and she was becoming a danger to herself,and all the other people in the sheltered housing where she lived.

I'm off to bed now , I'll speak when I'm wired up in Norwich maybe a couple of days time.

Night everyone.... xx

YEP .....LOL, and I should know Marilyn, senior moments dont ya know.
