That's great news Paula. Xx
I’ve rediscovered muscles I forgot I had this morning ;) but it’s a good feeling
OOO I've heard so many good things about it. I can't wait to hear about it!
How are you doing love?
Any of my crafty friends fancy this?

Pacing day?
Sorry, we cross posted. Going to the cinema but otherwise it’s a quiet day

Hmm, another group were saying that they had enough... But seems good if it's on the BBC news site!
That tends to be my benchmark too
1917 was incredible, harrowing, awesome, harrowing, brilliant. Oh, and I mention harrowing? What a horrible, horrible war
OldMike
21-01-20, 04:12 PM
Not my sort of movie by the sounds of it, though I suppose it is okay to highlight how horrible war is lest we forget.
Wow you're back working and swimming again Paula you really are inspirational :)
Sounds incredible. It's definitely on my to watch list.
(panda)(panda) I am glad to read you are doing better. Sorry for not sending the hugs sooner.
How are you today gorgeous?
I had a rough night - woke up yelling again. And couldn’t move to get more comfortable, I was stuck on my side. So I’m tired and sore. I had planned to go for a swim today but decided that probably wasn’t wise ...... and poor Si has had to go to work on a very disturbed night. Resting day, today
Which "bit" was causing pain? I'm glad you're listening to your body and resting...
My knee was screaming at me. My body is still adjusting to no morphine and me doing much more, I expect. No one said this would be easy ;)
(panda) You're awesome. I'm so glad you are listening to your body though lovely...

OldMike
22-01-20, 03:01 PM
Paula you are doing so much maybe you need to dial back things a little.
I totally agree with the others you are amazing, you've come off morphine and are doing much much more, so a rest day is called for or else I'll call Angie who has a plentiful supply of kippers and you wouldn't want that would you ;)
No, I’m not dialling back - having my life back is way too important. I’m not going to look for more challenges just yet though

Yep, slept through thankfully - Si had to wake me at 7.45 :) I’m off for a swim in a bit

Well done superwoman. Enjoy your swim. x
Did swimming and exercises for 20 minutes then 10 mins easing my sore muscles in the jacuzzi ;).
Very, very excited right now - I’ve got Wimbledon tickets on centre court, 2nd week!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Paula you are going in leaps and bounds xx

23-01-20, 08:32 PM
I think you are amazing!!
Wimbledon tickets? OOO in case you struggle with parking, you can park at my house and get the train to Wimbledon - less than 30 mins straight line ;)
I'm so proud of you! What're up to tomorrow?
Sounds like a fun packed week sweetie xx
OO enjoy yoga today lovely.
Rock Choir was amazing. I love singing and I haven’t laughed that hard in forever :)

You have had a wonderful week. What's on the agenda for the weekend? Resting, pacing??
I’ll try to get a swim in, I’ve got an appointment at the opticians and my frame has just arrived for my cross stitch so I’ll try to get that done :)
magie06
24-01-20, 03:12 PM
I hope you don't think you'll get a full cross stitch done in a w/e?
No lol, I want to frame it in the weekend (properly - not just stick in in the frame itms)
magie06
24-01-20, 03:32 PM
That makes complete sense. I received a new project in the post this morning and I can't wait to get started. Every thing else can wait.
I think it's going to be stunning! And a swim?
I’ve just offered up the picture to the frame and it really is stunning! And I realised it’s the first big project I’ve done that I’m keeping :)
Yep, I’m planning on a swim, probably Sunday as I’ve got to go to town tomorrow for the opticians and *shudder* deal with the crowds lol
Good for you! Are you enjoying swimming? How is your knee dealing with it?
I’m loving swimming - I was always a water baby. My knee is feeling it but I can already feel, with the yoga too, how much stronger I’m getting :)
I love water too! I'm so proud of you for pushing yourself - just don't overdo it love.
I'm another that is proud of you xx
Work today, had a good time but absolutely shattered now. And Polo’s not well - he refused his walk with the dog walker, isn’t eating and just generally lethargic :(
Oh no, poor Polo! Hope it's just the change with you going out, rather than anything serious...
Are you resting tonight? What about tomorrow?
No, he’s properly poorly, poor baby
Tomorrow I’m having a french manicure, then resting
Oh poor baby...
Enjoy the manicure lovely....
Morning lovely, how's Polo this morning? How are you?
Polo’s much the same. Every window near him is open because he stinks! He’s so lethargic ;(
Oh hunni that's so sad... Marc's Mum's dog was similar and went to the vet - turns out she needed her anal glands expressed.....Could it be something that simple?
I don’t know. I wanted to make an appointment with the vets but Si has said to wait til he gets home so he can see how he is...... but he’s not himself

Thank you, hunni
You won’t be able to edit until we’ve got to know you a bit better - not anything against you, it just means we can protect against nasty scammers ;). I’ve merged your posts for you :)
In other news, I closed my eyes for 5 minutes after lunch, and woke up at 5.30! I obviously needed the rest .....
Strugglingmum
28-01-20, 06:56 PM
Poor guy. Sending you both hugs(panda)
You obviously did need the rest. Could you possibly be overdoing things?
As long as I allow days like today where I could rest/sleep if I needed it, I’ll be fine. On that note, tomorrow I’m going for a swim, meeting my friend for lunch and going to Housegroup .....
I’ve just been going through the harmonies for Rock Choir - Super Trouper and it seems like my voice has dropped. I’ve been in the soprano section but I’m definitely now an upper alto. So now I’ve got to learn new harmonies - but at least I can actually reach all the notes! (giggle)
Jaquaia
28-01-20, 08:14 PM
I have absolutely no idea what you just said...
I think I understand Paula. You are doing lots and breaking new ground. Paula you are achieving lots so there will be the inevitable set backs. Paula you are going to need rest days and you seem to factor those in. Well done xx
Thank you EJ, that means a lot
I hope the swim is going to be great.
How is Polo doing?
Polo is a lot brighter this morning. Si and I managed to get him to go for a short walk late last night and, without going into details, he’s definitely got an upset tummy....
Yay for a brighter Polo!
I'm so glad you're enjoying Rock Choir!
How was the swim? Lunch? House group?
Swim was lovely, lunch was even better. Housegroup tonight lol. I’ve also got some keys cut, picked up my new contact lenses and put my cross stitch up on the wall :)
We need pics of the cross stitch on the wall!
Sounds like a mega busy day.... What've you got on tomorrow?
Just rock choir in the evening
Lol yeah, I’m taking my lead from the boss lady ;)
Yuck, I’m working tomorrow morning and, as I need the car and want to get a swim in, I’m taking Si to the train station at 7am, going for a swim then and going straight to work for 8.45 ......
I’m very excited though - I’ve got my second follow up at Bath next month so Si and I have decided to book into a city centre hotel and make a long weekend of it :)
Are you pushing it a bit hard with taking Si, swimming and work all in one day?
Hooray for the long weekend in Bath! It's been years since I was there, it's a beautiful city - or it was lol
Years since I went to Bath too. I hope you enjoy it xx
Si’s taking Jess’s car so that’s one thing less. Swimming energises me tbh
As for Bath, I’ve loved it for years and spending a month there, though seems like it should be enough, definitely wasn’t :)
You sound so positive still. I'm so pleased for you and even more proud of you!
Si changing my planned timetable for this morning obviously threw me - I’ve turned up for work an hour early d’oh (rofl). Still, now sitting in Costa with a coffee ;)
(rofl) Oops! Still planning on swimming later?
Definitely not myself. Yesterday I had no energy and couldn’t focus on anything. Today, I went for a swim but only managed 10 minutes before I was absolutely exhausted......
I had a lucky break, though. I was just about to leave the pool when I realised my wedding ring had disappeared - and was very, very worried it’d come off in the pool. Reception took the details and rung just as I was nearly home - it’d been found in the changing rooms (whew)
So glad you found it!!!
Maybe you need a rest this afternoon?
Yeah, I am. I’m not going to Housegroup tonight either
I know how hard it is to cancel things... How's the resting gone?
I’ve managed to do a little research for work. So at least today hasn’t been a complete washout but I’m so tired, it’s definitely a treacle sort of day ....
I hate those days.. (panda)

Polo’s poorly again :( so we’re keeping a close eye on him because there’s a nasty bug going round.
I’m off to meet my ex MILand ex SIL for coffee later and, assuming Polo doesn’t need to go to the vets, I’m got Rock Choir tonight (so I’ll be practising Super Trouper for the rest of the da6. ))

06-02-20, 11:08 AM
It really sounds like you are enjoying rock choir.
I wish I was coming - too far away. Sounds like an excellent way to beat the blues xx
So glad you're loving it!
Poor Polo!
Yeah, change of plans. He’s been really sick s9 I’ve got to take him to the vets. So no coffee, and Rock Choir may not be on the cards depending on what happens with him. My poor boy :(

Oh no. I am hoping for the best.
Well, hes at the vets for a couple of hours on a drip- he’s having anti sickness drugs, painkillers and they’re running bloods. He’s also lost 2.5 kg in a couple of weeks. Top of the tree re potential diagnoses are, a tummy bug, pancreatitis or his kidneys are failing. So we shall see how he goes

Is there any news? Poor Polo!
He’s home but he’s really not well so Si’s going to stay with him tonight and we see how he is in the morning
How's Polo? How did he go overnight?
He’s very quiet and his tummy is obviously sore but he’s calmer than yesterday so we’re just going to wait for the bloods and go from there
Aww, you having a snuggle with Polo day?
Si’s home so I don’t get a look in ;). I had a hair appt and yoga booked in and Si’s told me to go to them rather than hanging around for the vet to call
The bloods aren’t back yet but he’s got to have his cannula out so we’ve made an apt with the vet at 5.30 to talk it over. I have to admit I’m struggling - Si keeps saying he’ll be ok but I’m so worried.
Still, because their house is being decorated, we’ve got Katie and Dom staying wit us for the weekend :)
Hope it's good news re Polo...
Enjoy your time with Katie and Dom.
So, he’s perked up a big, eaten a few mouthfuls of chicken. The vet is happy that he’s not quite as sore in the tummy. We only have some bloods back, the pancreatitis is due tomorrow. Hopefully, he’s over the worst
Strugglingmum
07-02-20, 10:58 PM
That sounds good. Hope he continues to improve. X
How's he doing today? How are you all?
He’s still very tired but has been barking at Si so he’s definitely on the mend .:)
OldMike
08-02-20, 02:33 PM
I thought greyhounds were too laid back to bother with barking ;) I'm glad Polo is on the mend :)
Lol no although Polo didn’t bark for several months after we adopted him ;)
2 of ours don't bark. Moiya can't due to what happened to her, Willow can't due to brain injury... Crash however, more than makes up for it!
Hoorah for Polo barking! That's fabulous news!
Strugglingmum
08-02-20, 05:36 PM
Glad Polo is recovering. That's great news. (bear)
Oh (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear). Si’s had Jess in a state cause she’s really unhappy with work. Apparently she said she’s been coming home and crying. She’s really down......
So, Si has suggested she look at university and they’ve booked her on the Winchester open day.
It breaks my heart that she’s been so low and kept it to herself ;(
Aw poor baby! I thought she was happy? It's so hard that she's been keeping it to herself... (panda)(bear)(bear)(panda)
I thought she was too. But that’s the way she’s always been.
Strugglingmum
08-02-20, 10:57 PM
at least she has opened up now and you can help her move forward. But yes, it's so hard when you realise they've been hiding it all. (bear)
She’s in good spirits this morning, despite a power cut and not being able to straighten her hair ;). Hopefully a weights been lifted.
We’ve heard from the vet, bloods are all ok but she’s said they’ve had a lot of dogs come in over the last 24 hours with vomiting so there’s obviously a bug going round. He’s a lot brighter this morning so hopefully he’s on the mend
I completely agree with SM. It's a really good thing that it's all come out now. At least she now able to tell you what's going on.... And neither of you are judging her, just supporting her with her next steps.
Jaquaia
09-02-20, 09:26 AM
It's good that she's told you.
But you and Si are a united force.... I know here the kids tell Marc and I different things, but they know that we will talk to each other about it too.... I know you'd want her to have told you first... Sorry she didn't. But, she's told someone and you and I know rationally that's the most important thing. But I totally get your feelings too... (bear) (panda)
Well, I may qualify for mum of the day (at least in one specific house in Hampshire). I found out that one of the ladies from church, who is going to the same Women’s Weekend as I am, has worked at Windsor Castle for over a decade. Given my youngest’s love of all things Royal and the history of the palaces, the Royal Family etc, I’ve messaged this lady to ask if I can pick her brains during the Weekend about how to have a career in that area! She’s come back to me and is happy to do that but also has promised tickets to visit and also at Hampton Court, any time we want. Jess is going to lurrrrve me (giggle)
In other news, I landed heavily on my knee yesterday while trying to get on the floor to do some yoga. And I’m in flare from my knee to my hip .....

Congratulations mum of the year!!!!

Given I hurt it while drunk in the first place, I think you’ve got a point. Nothing but marshmallows for me, ever again ;)
How's your knee? Are you resting today?
It’s ok atm but I am taking it easier today (says she having just cleared out half of the downstairs cupboard ......)
Why are you cleaning out cupboards whilst your knee has taken a bashing?
Because it needs doing.....
What today? Definitely by you?
i needed to move some stuff out of another room by Thursday, and am working tomorrow.
Hmm.......
How are you this evening love?
A little sore and currently debating whether a swim tomorrow will be beneficial or detrimental
Apart from working you mean? ;)
Yes, well I was hoping you could rest either side of that....

A little sore and currently debating whether a swim tomorrow will be beneficial or detrimental
A difficult one, swimming may help though refrain from diving off the high board (giggle)
I’m good, knee is getting better but I’m not going to swim today as my hip is still aching.
What a morning! Jess had a very minor accident (she’s not hurt which is the only thing that matters) and her car has ended up in a muddy ditch by the side of a country road. Si had the car so Katie had to leave work to pick her up. Green Flag won’t come out to pull it out of the ditch (apparently they only do technical repairs) so we have to get someone out to do it. And I’ve been on the phone to the police for what feels like half the morning to report it
Oh no! I'm glad she's OK, but you must have had such a fright!
I did, so did she, bless her. A lady stopped and sat with her for 10 minutes because she ‘had a daughter (Jess’s) age and would hope someone would stop for her if it came to it’. What a lovely lady!
Aww I did the same for a lovely young lady who crashed into the corner of our road a while back....
Hope the car's not too damaged love.
She’s fine, and they’ve got the car back :)
Strugglingmum
13-02-20, 09:01 PM
What a fright for you all! Glad Jess is ok. X
Hey you! You're quiet how are you?
I’m ok, got a sore throat and feeling a bit flat but I’m ok. I’ve got two eye hospital spots this morning :/ but also got yoga later so that should cheer me up
Oh lovely, I'm sorry you're feeling rubbish...
Yoga was great and, after ‘waking up’ my leg muscles using a band (don’t ask) I was able to walk a few steps unaided!
Eye appointment was a mixed bag - he reckons it’ll be years before my cataracts are an issue, my tests were fine but my optic nerves are still as swollen as they were in December, despite doubling the meds dose. So they’ll continue monitoring until neurology tell them different (oh and it was suggested I lose weight, again)
Unaided? That's amazing! Well done love!
Sorry about the eye appointment..
OldMike
21-02-20, 08:13 PM
Using a band, I know you said don't ask but I'm intrigued, say no more some things are best not to know ;)
I've got cataracts too (though I wouldn't know) but the optician said it it'll be years if ever before anything needs doing, in other words the grim reaper will call me in before anything needs doing, I thought thanks for making my day (giggle)
I'm glad you're enjoying your yoga Paula.
Ok the band..... it’s a long strap type thing that hooks underneath the foot and is then pulled tight against the leg and held against the butt-ock as a sort of sling. Then walk. Easy ;)
I’ve been asleep most of the evening, definitely a hint of man flu going on
That sounds dignified and elegant... ;)
Glad you got some sleep!
dignified and elegant is my motto (giggle)

Yep I’m resting, in fact my sofa is taking on the shape of my bum (rofl). Si and Jess came home from the uni open day with flowers for me so I’m feeling very loved and looked after. I’m off to bed very soon
Aww! How did the uni open day go?

Snotty, croaky. Desperately hoping I improve today as tomorrow is the first day of a 7 week course at the church which I’ve been looking forward to
OldMike
24-02-20, 10:19 AM
Another day of pampering is on the cards (bear) (panda)
OO What's the course you're going to be doing?
It’s called Uncover John and, as you might expect, studies John’s Gospel. I’m really looking forward to it.
I’ve also contacted Moore College in Australia who are now doing an online course in the theology studies I did years ago. They’ve accepted my previous certificates By the Good Book College as evidence I’ve done their courses and I can now do the 2nd level of their qualifications. I had to stop before as they weren’t offering the courses online.
Sounds really interesting. Well done you xx
That's awesome. Are you doing these for self study or to go towards a degree or something?
The John one is just a church study group. The Moore college is a very well respected theological course worldwide and can lead to all sorts - but I’m doing it because I want to :)
That's cool! You're doing so many more things now - is that since dropping the morphine and being more active? - Is it a direct result from Bath?
Yes and yes. Good isn’t it? ;)
Jaquaia
24-02-20, 09:28 PM
It's bloody brilliant!!!
Oooooo I’ve enrolled in the theology course and start 1 April!!
That's amazing. You're really doing so much more now! Getting out and about and getting your life back on track!
Hey you! How was Mum? Anton and Erin?
I had an amazing day yesterday! We spent hours roaming around an antiques centre, had lunch together and last night was awesome! My hand still hurts from clapping, I practically lost my voice and my ribs and jaw aches from laughing :). And it was so lovely to have the day with mum
That sounds wonderful! I'm so glad you had a good day! Mum must be blown away with your massive increased mobility etc?
:) I’m very lucky in that my parents have always been blown away with my achievements, big or small. And yes, I do know how rare that can be.
That's awesome. I love the comments you get from your parents on FB - esp your Mum who is always telling you how much she loves you and how proud of you she is...
A friend posted this on fb. Totally me today!

No colour? You're going to embrace the grey?

Grey/white hair is beautiful, you'll look great I'm sure (nod)
No colour? You're going to embrace the grey?
That’s the plan ;)
Darling you could be wearing nothing but a bin bag and you'd still look absolutely amazing! You'll rock the silver!
It’s going to be a slow process, my hairs got so many colours in it so today I’m now a dark blond sort of colour, next time it’ll be a couple of shades darker, and then, hopefully, it won’t be too obvious I’m growing the grey out.
Went to see the nurse for blood test today and had worked myself up to asking for help losing weight. It didn’t quite go according to plan. The nurse said I’d have to go to reception to get info on weight loss support. It was very busy so I quietly asked the 12 year old skinny girl on reception, and she didn’t seem to get that I was not keen on broadcasting this to everyone cos she told me at what felt like a shout that they suggested weightwatchers or the dr could refer me to a gym. So, mortified, I mumbled something about doing exercise already and left. Oh and my blood pressures up again.......
I’ve signed up with weightwatchers
Oooo that's a horrible experience at the drs! (panda)(bear)(panda)(bear)
Yesterday and today I’ve been to the dentist. I have gum disease which, the hygienist told me today, is because my various medications are severely drying my mouth out. So, I’ve got to have a regime of brushing my teeth for 4 minutes, mouthwash (at £8 a pop) mid morning and mid afternoon and not spitting out toothpaste - yuck. I’ve also got to have another bridge. Si and I had a dust up last night because he didn’t get how my weight, my teeth and just general health stuff is severely affecting my self confidence at the moment. I cried a lot and shouted a lot. I’m just fed up with it all

I am becoming very long in the tooth due to gum disease which no amount of brushing and glossing seems to cure. it's a real pain.
Thank you, girls. Suzi, I decided that, as I’ve had a tough and busy week, have a busy day tomorrow, and have been taking Si to the train station at 7am every day this week, that I’m not going to Rock Choir tonight - I need the rest
I'm so pour of you for making the decision to put your health first and rest... What have you got on tomorrow? Anything that can be postponed if needed?
Did you and Si sort out your argument last night?
Tomorrow I’m visiting my friend whose just had a horrible treatment to try to ‘fix’ her CRPS in her foot - she lives alone so needs the company atm. Then there’s yoga (which will be good for me).
Si told me so many lovely things last night but he also said I should have told him I was struggling. He said that for someone who’s so open and honest, He couldn’t believe I was holding it all in..... so today, after the hygienist, I rang him at work and told him how (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear)ed off I was about it and dared him to complain ;)
I'm so glad that you talked to him - and he's right. Stop holding it in!!!
Make sure with everything tomorrow you build in some you time please! :)
I’m humbled and honoured - our curate who runs the Women’s Weekend (which is this weekend) has just asked me to lead the Sunday morning session :)

Woo hoo that's brilliant (party)
Oh that's fab! What are you doing in that session?
My role will be:
“So the main purpose is to prepare us to hear God’s word. And so it means welcoming people, introducing songs (I have chosen Amazing Grace and Who has held the oceans in his hands) , asking someone to read the Bible passage (Genesis 42:1-24; 44:1-45:9), interviewing someone (I’ll let you know who) and praying for the session and as we hear God’s word.”

That's wonderful. I'm still in awe at how far you have come since Bath. Not only are you able to actually attend the weekend, but you are taking part in leading. You are amazing. X
That's really interesting! I'm so proud of you!
So, Jess has just landed in India with MIL after a very long flight ( actually 2 long flights lol) and is off shortly on their first tour. This may break her ;)
