They're so awesome! Just like you!
Thats so so sweet. Shows how much they care and love you. You are the best.
I’ve always known how strong, feisty and independent Jess is, and am so proud of her. But it’s only recently that she’s started showing me love and affection. It’s overwhelming in a very good way:)
Then bask in it and enjoy every second of it!

Bless her, she’s got 2 more nights of my cooking until Si gets back ;)
Darling, there's nothing wrong with saving her from that and just ordering in.....
How's you this morning love? Did Jess survive the shock of your cooking?
lol yes, she even ate half of it (rofl).
Today I shall mainly be cross stitching (when I can be bothered to get dressed). Katies coming over this afternoon to walk the dog and staying to watch Strictly (Blackpool(party)) with me
(rofl)
Sounds like a good day is planned.
I think it's a testament to how awesome you are that your girls are wanting to spend time with you! They aren't doing it because they feel they have to, but because they want to... That's huge.
I'm glad you're pacing today.

I'm sure your cooking is spiffing Paula so less of the modesty :)
Hahaha Mike, no my cooking is not spiffing. I’m an absolutely appalling cook (rofl). Thankfully, I rarely get asked to do it now (in fact Katie took over duties tonight). I have actually burnt peas before ......
Jaquaia
16-11-19, 06:08 PM
My brother burnt fish fingers before...
That were still frozen on the inside...
I may take the proverbial, but until Marc had his breakdown I was a horrific cook. One of the first birthday's Marc and I were together I decided that as we had no money, I'd combine his favourite things and make him dinner. So I knew he liked madras, but we couldn't afford chicken, so he had a fishfinger madras, then a chocolate button trifle for pudding! HE still talks about it now, around 20 years later.....
Well done though, it means you don't have to cook as often!

*holds hand up* I've burnt peas before today I suppose I should say they were barbecued peas.
Morning love, how are you today?
I’m ok. Jess took Polo out without being nagged, Si’s home tonight (party) and I’m binge watching The Crown
Sounds like a good day planned sweetie x
I’m jittery tonight. Katie and Jess are both driving (in two cars) to pick Si, Katie’s dad and their friend up from Gatwick. So both my babies are on their way round the M25, in the dark, with no real clue where they’re going. And Jess is in a Fiat 500 so basically a tin can. I’ve told them all that I thought it was a bad idea, just to be told I was overreacting. They got a taxi there, why the hell couldn’t they get a taxi back?
They’ve arrived at Gatwick and I’m stupidly in tears with relief
Thats not stupid at all. You are a living mum that cares about all of them greatly. So its not stupid (panda)
You should have said! I'd have been a stop off point if they needed it, we're literally just inside the M25! Well done Girls. You've raised some strong independent women there! Definitely not stupid at all!
Well done to the girls, not stupid at all sweetie they are your babies you will naturally worry about them, as they drive to more places etc over time you will relax a bit xx
Did Si have a good time? Is it good to have him home?
He had a lovely time. It’s so lovely to have him home :)
Glad he enjoyed it hunni xx
Aww!! Glad he had a good time...
How's you today lovely? Are you reducing again this week?
No, I decided to delay it a week after not doing great last week. I do feel fine so I was toying with reducing today but decided my body probably needed a break
Sounds like a good idea. Give some time to adjust and level off a little bit.
It is great to hear you feel fine. I am going to keep my fingers crossed it will last.

Blimey love - you listening to your body? That's about time....
How has your day been? How are you feeling?
I’ve been cross stitching. I can see the final line ;). I’m ok, very tired and am dozing off if I do nothing for more than a couple of minutes, so I’m keeping busy
Is there a reason you do not want to have a small power nap?
Because one big symptom of my deteriorating mental health is me sleeping excessively during the day. So, unless I really do need it, I avoid power naps
Ok, I did not know that. If you mentioned it before I am, sorry I did not notice.
I do understand. I have the same. I can sleep and sleep. And most of the time its not a good idea for me either. But when I am feeling stressed or nervous Sometimes it helps to snooze.
Do you try to sleep on fixed times? I found that it helped me a great deal to have the same times for bed and waking up.
There’s no reason at all why you should know that ;)
I sleep well and deeply at night, so I have no need to sleep during the day. I just need to remind myself of that sometimes lol
OldMike
19-11-19, 07:14 PM
Sleeping during the day is a sign of old age so Paula that won't apply to you for many, many, many years :)

HEATING IS FIXED (party) but the boiler may need replacing soon :(
Awww hope the boiler lasts a bit longer for you sweetie its a pain when that happens x
Well, so far this month we’ve had to get the suspension fixed on Jess’s car, a new washing machine and the front door is being replaced next week. So we’re just relieved we didn’t need a new boiler today ....
Yeah. I think Si is permanently hyperventilating ;)

Well, we’re home! And had a lovely day. And, what was truly incredible and had me beaming from ear to ear was that, for the first time in over 7 years, I walked on a beach and paddled in the sea :)

:) my mum took the photo and sent it to me with the caption ‘just loved seeing your joy!’
It's such an amazing picture. Something I bet you didn't think you'd ever be doing again? Bath really has been fabulous for you.
How are you today?
Tired, sore, using the stairlift. But it was totally worth it. So, I’ve got the chores I need to do out of the way already and will spend the rest of the day chilling and cross stitching (I’m so near the end I can taste it, which always motivates me)

Still feeling rough. This is the first time (at a third of the original dose) that I’ve noticed a significant increase in pain too, so that’s not helping

It has to be. Today it’s a struggle but that’s coz I’m generally feeling crap. Hopefully it’ll get easier

Of course they were sparkly slippers ;)
Getting locked out in this weather is no fun.
Lol, Suzi, I didn’t want to make you laugh too hard ;)
I was in sparkly slippers, of course. I’d popped out to take a picture of the door to send to my mum.....
ROFL! So, you had your car keys and could hide in there? Or with a neighbour? Were you dressed or in pjs?
Hubby had the car, no neighbours (that I know) were in, I was dressed in a jumper and a skirt. It was frickin cold! Si rushed back from golf but I was out there 20 mins. I wouldn’t mind, but it wasn’t because I’d done something wrong (for a change)!
Oh no! I'm sorry for laughing earlier now....
Don’t be - I did preface the information with ‘do you want a laugh’ ;)
I do hope you are nice and warm now. Just reading this made me feel cold.
You did. Good. So I don't have to feel guilty!

Katie’s been over (yay) to clear out her bedroom (boo). Otherwise, quiet. Tomorrow, however, is CHRISTMAS TREE DAY (party)

Happy Christmas tree day to you too (party). I’m ok, have been watching the new War of the Worlds. It’s a different take but I’m liking it
We need to cath upon it in a bit ;)
How have the past few days been for you?
How are you doing lovely?
I’m fine, ta. Have been pottering doing chores today (and cross stitch - I’m sooo close to finishing it I can almost taste it). Tomorrow I’ve got an appt with the Neurologist - I’m hoping he’ll take me off the diuretics and discharge me but I doubt it as the eye doctor said my optic nerves are still a little swollen. Still, you never know
OO good luck with that!
How close to finishing are you?
Not far, I’ve got just part of a small area left but it’s difficult to put a time frame on it as cross stitch is so labour intensive, as you know. But I believe that, if I could do a couple of solid hours every day, I should get it done in the next couple of weeks. But that’s unlikely to happen. I’m hoping I can get it done by Christmas
It never ceases to amaze me how long it takes! - Or it does me!
Can you fit in an hour a day? Even in small parts?
Morning Sparkles, how are you today?
Day started well...... shopping g was delivered last night but I didn’t unpack it. My coffee wasn’t in it and I only realised this morning. NO COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!! I might just go back to bed ......
OldMike
04-12-19, 11:09 AM
Oh no, no coffee the world is due to end (giggle)
Mike, it’s a serious issue .... :P
Oh no! No coffee!!! Hope you've managed to get some!
I have instant and fresh ground so I don’t run out.

I’m a bit of a coffee snob and don’t drink instant anymore ;) I can only have 2 cups a day so prefer it to be fresh ground
Ok, so my neurology appointment didn’t go to plan. The dr decided to get an eye scan there and then and there’s increased swelling again. He’s going to talk to his colleague but said it’s likely I’ll have to increase my diuretic again.

Does increasing your diuretec effect more things? I never heard of it. And when will you hear about it?
I'm sorry gorgeous. I know it isn't what you wanted - but it is good that you're being looked after....
Does increasing your diuretec effect more things? I never heard of it. And when will you hear about it?
It does but only because it increases the effects of another health problem I have. I’ll get a letter in the post soon.
Ok, I may have understated my feelings. I’m bitterly disappointed and emotional. The dr did tell me a long time ago that it’s a lifelong condition for most people but, as I’d lost all the weight and I went into remission so quickly, I was sure I’d beaten it. Now, I’m probably going to have constant eye clinic and neurology input, the DVLA will never let me have a permanent driving licence and I could still be looking at a shunt in my future. And yes I know I’m catastrophising but it’s just how I’m feeling tonight
Jaquaia
04-12-19, 10:21 PM
That's completely understandable. Have you spoken to Si about it? (panda)

And we all love and care for you (bear) (panda)

How are you doing now lovely?
You're fab... Feel upset, angry and frustrated and talk to us - you don't have to be OK about this today, let it sink in and give yourself time to process it properly...
The neurologist did make me chuckle, though, he was stunned at my improvement with walking and said that it gives hope to all doctors that miracles can happen. Him and Si went off at one point to get some paperwork and apparently that was all he wanted to talk about (giggle). He also said (which was sweet) that, if anyone was going to have such a positive outcome, he’s not surprised it was me as I’ve got a great attitude
I’m ok, really, and I’m seeing my best friend later (and a Labrador/spaniel puppy called Isla) - which will be much needed therapy
Ahhh, puppy therapy - best therapy out there!
Glad you're doing something for self care today.

The others have put it very well. It's just being human that you're upset and angry about this diagnosis. But on the bright side, you're up, you're getting out and about and a cuddle with a puppy is just what this doctor ordered.
I have been thinking of you and hope you are ok.
I’m ok, I fell asleep on the sofa last night so Si sent me to bed at 8.30..... I’m in pain today so I’ve cancelled yoga but I’m going to a Christmas concert at St Peter’s church in Winchester tonight where my friend’s singing - it’s sold out so she worked really hard to get an additional ticket at short notice so Si could accompany me, so I’m absolutely going.

It was fab! My friend is in the Winchester Fusion Choir and they do regular concerts for charity.
I’ve spent the day on my iPad doing Christmas shopping. The only presents I’ve got to source are Si and Jess’s. but I’ve no idea what to get them so I’ve asked Si (I hate doing that as I like surprising people). Coincidentally, my eyes are blurry .....
We've got each other (although I might be buying Marc an internal door or a tin of paint) and Hazel's birthday present left to get ;) I *think* we know what we're going to get....
So, my leg has been in mini flare for a few days. It’s now in full throttle mode.
However! Strictly helped numb the pain :)
Strictly was fabulous!
Sorry about your leg - doing too much?
I’m not sure but it’ll pass. I’ve not helped myself by not doing my yoga the past few days so that’ll be happening today

How is your leg feeling today?
I’m ok. I’ve done my exercises and my mindfulness (which I missed Friday and was very irritable). I’ve cleaned Katie’s carpet where she used it to wipe excess makeup of her brushes ...... but it’s come up ok, and Si’s taken her bed out of the room. I’ve ordered a few bits for Jess’s stocking - it feels weird not doing one for Katie this year. I’d better go and get dressed now lol
Taking it easy :) I like it. Taking your time to get dressed.
What are you turning Katie's room into? Excess shoes and bags storage?
(rofl) no, into a tv/gaming room/spare bedroom. But Si has started talking about reworking the study into a dressing room :)
I dropped a rather large hint a while ago - I have a beautiful dressing table but end up doing my make up on the window sill to get the best light. So, I said that it’d be really handy if the table was put under the window, but that could only happen if the wardrobes are moved into another room ...... that was about 6 weeks ago - I know my husband and he has to take time to mull these things over ;)

I finished the cross stitch - just got to finish the backstitch ((which I hate doing but hey ho). It’s gorgeous:)
I’ve drooped another dose today which means that, for the first time, I’ll be going 24 hours between dose. This is the one I was most worried about...
Are we going to see the cross stitch?
Are you still worried? Or is it going well?
Well done for finishing! Can't wait to see it!
How's the reduction going so far?
I’ll show you all when I’ve done the backstitch.
I was feeling really, really sick all evening and night and I’ve got a headache this morning. Still, today a decorator is coming to give us a quote to paint the new tv room and the downstairs shower room :) I’m chuffed, I didn’t want Si to decorate the rooms as that’s not really his forte, but I thought he’d baulk at spending the money on getting someone to do it ;)
OO that sounds exciting!
How are you doing love? Do you have anti sickness meds? Peppermint or ginger biscuits are meant to help?
I can’t take anti sickness meds but I do have ginger tea. I’m ok, better than when I woke up - because I’ve had my morning dose of morphine I’m assuming

By ‘what’ I mean my more, erm, challenging characteristics. Being tough means I’m not always the easiest to live with (rofl). If I’m a princess, I’m definitely the one who complained about the pea in her bed!

I slept, SM, thank you. My head still hurts but today I’m going to a Christmas communion service at the church. I also need to finish writing Christmas cards
I do hope today will be brighter for you. And that going to church gives you some Joy.

Why would you not post this?
OK so Christmas carol service and that's it right? Rest please...
Because we all know why I feel crap and it’s boring ....
It was a lovely communion service - Book of Common Prayer (lots of thees and thous) and only 6 of us there - I was the youngest by about 3 decades ;). Just what I needed
Other than that, I shall be writing Christmas cards while watching tv and doing very little else
Well would you tell me its boring when I talk about how I feel the same way for days?
Whats going on with you is in no way boring. Its horrible you are feeling this way. But we do want to know about it. If only to send you a (panda). We care about you.

Mira has a very good point.............
Glad you enjoyed the service.
EJ yes it was 1662 - so peaceful :)
Mira, all of you - don’t you know I hate having my advice thrown back to me? (giggle). And, yes, you might have a point ....
I do know that :)
But what is there to do? You could stop giving advice (please dont). Or be happy we listen to you (inlove)
(rofl) You've thrown enough of my own back at me over the years! (rofl)
Yo Sparkles! How are you today?
Well, I’ve been up since 5.20, have done some washing, cleared up the kitchen, watched diy sos and separated the coppers from the silver coin in our change pot as they kept falling out - which really annoyed me this morning.
In totally unrelated news, I’ve made myself a camomile tea ...
Woah! Steady on, what's making you so hyper? Did you cry at DIY SOS?
No I didn’t cry :0
Yesterday, I stared at the tv most of the day as I had no motivation. Today ..,.,,, I’m putting it down to morphine but I am conscious of my erm need for mood stabilisers itms
YOU didn't cry at Diy sos? That's not like you....
You not feeling so good gorgeous? Anything I can do to help?
