I'm not a gynacologist but I'll have a look

Jane, my MIL had Glaucoma and although she ignored it (!!) her sight inevitably, was bad at the end of her life (she was 93!!) but not completely gone. Ian has been told that he has to keep a check on his sight and that provided it is spotted early on glaucoma is easily treatable and not something to get too worried about. Hope this has reassured you. I'm sure if they suspect glaucoma you will get an appointment very soon. Nothing much else to report, back still jippy, keep taking the tablets!! Old lady over the road (100!!) has been taken back into hospital, she only came home three weeks ago!! Can't believe she'll be back, surely time for the Residential Home?! we shall see!

David ! you silly billy lol
Liz I think if there is a long wait for appointments I will look at private.I think loosing sight would be one of my worst nightmares.I will try not to think about it until I get an appointment.

Well the gas man got caught with some problem and couldn't get here.Now it will be saturday morning.
Chris and Hannah due home any moment now ,so I better go and check on the food
18.56...................Ooops ,they are here lol

I was a bit naughty and opened the referral letter.Well I needed to see what it said lol.I have had some weird symptoms with eyes and dizziness over the last couple of years,especially when driving on motorways and night driving,plus feeling like I am all woozy when walking.Some of you might remember me going for tests on my sight and ears.I just wonder if that is when the problem started and recently have had gooey eyes.

Change of subject now ....Am I right in thinking there used to be a comic with a sunday paper.My parents used to get the Sunday Express and I seem to remember looking forward to a comic each week.Just a couple of pages.
Dishing up Spag Bol now.Must go and get Chris his pinny lol.He always makes a mess down his front !!

Daughter no 1 and Sofia gone home now, daughter decided she would be brave and stay at home tonight instead of sleeping at my house, wants to keep Sofia in her own bed.
SIL gone to a hotel in Sterling been at a works conference all day and is staying overnight at the hotel, will be the first time daughter has slept on her own, I have said if she wants me or wants to come down and stay here after all, she can just ring.

i am going now for a relaxing bath. and then to bed. Jane I hope all is ok with your eyesight,

my parents got the Sunday post, at the weekend and I don't think it had it had any magazines in it but I loved it for the page with Orr Wullie cartoon story. When I was little I always got a Orr Wullie Annual for christmas.

wishing everyone a goodnight.
catch up tomorrow
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I can't remember what cartoony things were in that paper,but just know as soon as Dad got home with the paper I grabbed it lol
I am off now .Sleep well everyone.Sweet dreams...............Talking of dreams .Last night I was scrubbing out a toilet lolol...with a toothbrush!!!! I wonder what I will be doing tonight.
Night Night xx

I'd a paper round before and after school,
Was always well up on the head lines.

Never bought a comic. Used to read the ones I'd to deliver.

Morning David ,you early bird.
I did a paper round.I have a feeling it was saturday and sunday.My friend Anne would often come with me and we would scrump apples on the way round and put them in my paper bag.Then we would go down to the woods and sit on an old tree trunk that had fallen over the stream and scoff ourselves silly.Then often ended up with gripey tummies lol

Another very mild day here but not as sunny as yesterday.I am off to get a couple of tickets for next weeks wednesday film at the Cinema.Its better to get them ahead as if it is on a small screen I can't always get an aisle seat,and I do like my aisle seat.

Hope you are all getting fit and well .Frank I hope your week is going well.

Morning dull and drizzly here. When will it ever stop.

Jane if you do have glaucoma in any mild form your children would get free eye tests. just thought I should let you know but Chris may have already told you.

I do wish this weather would clear up as I am getting fed up with not being able to put my washing out. It is warmer but still the ground is so wet.

10.45

I am afraid I have to ask you all not to forward me emails anymore please.

My OH says I am not to open any of them. They arrive at my pooter with so many email address attached it is causing problems with my anti virus. Especially the ones you have to forward to so many people.

Thanks Mel

Sunny bright day here, no major problems with the anibiotics I'm taking for my sinusitis, but I am haveing a lot of gunge down the back of my throat which is to be expected yuck !!!!

Shirl, can you help me , I have been in touch with a gentleman in Canada on GR who has kindly been doing some research on an Ancestor of mine who died in this mans town, this man has found the death index of my ancestor on the webb and says I can order the death cert for 50 Canadian dollars. Can you tell me how much is that in pound sterling I think it could be about £30 or more. Am I right!!!!!!!.

David, I love your sence of humour !!!!

Hi all, Things seem to be settling down, even though we are not speaking alot, It helps having Lewis here. He goes back this evening, so see what tomorrow brings.

Jane you must keep an EYE on your eyes. The boys grandfather had that, and the both get free eye tests every year. Will have to keep an eys on Lewis as it runs in the family, so i am told.

Sorry Mel, I sent a couple this morning, I'll take you off my list. after I have posted.

We are off for a Chinese lunch in a few minutes. Eat at much as you like £7.40 and £4.40 for Lewis. If we can get away with it.

Glad Ian, is showing progress Liz, Hope he is soon up and running around.

Lovely spring day yesterday, Lewis and I went up the field for him to play with his football. Overcast again today.

Hi Frank,

It's good Lewis is enjoying his stay with you and I know you are also enjoying having him.

I did do the quiz Frank and scored 25.

12.34

Just had two of todays eggs boiled for my lunch. they were lovely...................................................

It's still raining here and dos'nt look like it is going to give up.

13.23

You must all be busy.

15.56

Not much to report from here today, weather miserable but not cold. Taxed the car (!) this a m, and this p.m brushed and combed Millie. 'Back' a bit grotty,, but no worse, more stiff than anything else. You're right guys about the free eye tests, Ian hasn't paid for a test for Donkeys Years on account of MIL's glaucoma, so that at least is something useful!!! Ian goes from strenth to strength, it's quite amazing how he has suddenly picked up! Just the 'continence' problem; get that licked,and we're home and dry (forgive the pun!!) Macaroni Cheese tonight, nice and easy!!!

I'm back.After going to the cinema to buy tickets I went to Tes** to get Fitz a jar of Capers,ended up spending another 20 odd quid myself lol.Have just been down at his house for the last 3 hours talking family history and all sorts.
What have I got done today? ....Nothing !!
Mel can I still send photos?
Frank ,I hope things work out when Lewis has gone.Just try and keep things low key and as calm as possible.You don't want another major blow up.
I had a flipping good laugh at one of those emails lol
Well I need to get a chivvy on and sort out something for dinner.

16.12

We've got Sheep Sh*t pie tonight.

Glad the back's a bit better Liz. Good about Ian too, hope he is soon more leak free!!! Bless him.

They don't like being unwell do they, these men.

Off up the shop now.

Chris has made me promise not to go looking up Glaucoma stuff on the pooter today.I got a bit tearful last night lol.It is just the not knowing at the moment.
It has just started raining here ,and looking a bit miserable.
