Just to keep doing what I'm doing, walking, talking, taking my meds, getting enough sleep. All the stuff that you tell me to do.
I'm seriously proud of you for going to leave a message asking her to call you. That is so positive.
Do you want to tell us what's going on for you?
Pain, tiredness, a grumpy teenager, a stubborn father. Nothing really.
That is something, a lot of somethings....,
Sounds like a lot to me too...
Doesn’t sound like nothing
My back and knees are very sore. I have tried to get a gp appointment, but they are backed up for ages.
I'm sorry about that love, are you doing things to be gentle with them? No scrubbing the floors etc......
I'm so sore that I can hardly walk to the bathroom.
Are you taking all your painkillers? Do you think you should call the doctor?
I agree, definitely get seen lovely. You shouldn't be in that much pain.
Both Gerry and Aisling are on holiday this week. I don't think I'll be around much.
Enjoy your week together
Have fun! Hope you have a great week!
We had a lovely week together. We didn't do a lot but I think I relaxed more this week, than I have in ages. Yesterday, my sisters and I went to the Marion shrine of Knock. We had a very nice morning, where we did a bit of praying and attended mass. It was so nice to be able to spend time with them. The time went too fast.
In the afternoon Aisling and I went for our now traditional spin. We were late leaving so we didn't get home again until almost 9. But we didn't have anything to get up for this morning, so we were able to have a lie-in.
Welcome back!! Feels like you’ve been gone forever. Glad you had a great week. Had a mini pilgrimage this morning eh? How was it? Not as busy as usual I would imagine due to the pandemic.
Sounds like a lovely time with your sisters :)
Sounds like you've had a wonderful time! I'm so glad to see that you have!
I love that you've started this outing with Ais - special time to make memories...
I am thinking of going to Achill island for our next spin. There is a beautiful beach called Reem beach to the north of the island. Trouble is, we were both bored today. Not that that's a bad thing, but I'm thinking of taking the trip tomorrow. Should I keep it as our Sunday thing and find something else to do tomorrow?
Why not take two trips out this week? Tomorrow and Sunday?
Oh I love Achill Island. Go for it. Nothing beats a wee day out.
Hunni, you could go for a trip out every day if you wanted to! The world is your lobster ( :) ) and so you don't have to follow a set pattern...
Take as many trips as you like Magie you don't have to have a set pattern if you don't want you're a free agent.
Morning hunnipie, what did you decide in the end?
We were in Galway.
The letter I wrote to the ice cream business has had a result. I received a five Euro voucher in the post this morning.
YAY! Hooray! Free Ice Cream!
Did you have fun in Galway?
Yes. Aisling had jeans to return to Primark, so we went there and I managed to spend another 50 Euro. Her friends would like a beach day next week. They were waiting to see if one mum could bring them. The poor woman has 3 other kids who are still in national school therefore not on holiday yet. Plus she works outside the home too. I told Ais to tell them that I would bring them. Ais didn't want to ask me because we are going to tayto park theme park next week too. I explained that my job was to look after her, and bring her where she wanted to go, within reason. I can buy them all a free ice cream!
Aww! That's so lovely that she thought of you like that! I think she'll love that you're doing that and getting them ice cream too! :) You two have such a great relationship! How are you feeling atm love?
I'm up and down. But I'm still here and still fighting.
What a sweetheart your little girl is - but then she obviously takes after her mum!
I'm so proud of you love. Are you still in touch with Bridget? How are your joint pains?
Bridget calls once a week. I'm sore almost every morning getting up and I take painkillers every 4 hours to keep myself moving.
I will be chief taxi driver next week. Achill is still on the menu for Sunday (although, maybe not this week), Ais and 3 friends would like a lift to the beach on Monday, and we are going to tayto park on Thursday. That's a lot of miles to cover, so I might leave Achill until later in the summer.
Have you spoken to your Dr about the soreness and pain?
It's really good that you're trying to listen and pace a bit with all that driving too love. That's hugely positive...
We went to the beach today. It was absolutely freezing. The girls were great. They are all so polite. It was a pleasure to spend time with them.
I am happy you had great time. I am sorry for you having pain, wish there was some magic trick to help you. I have a dear friend who was recently diagnosed with chronical pain and continuous inflammation in her central nerve system. It had a fancy name that I forgot, but looking at her being in constant agony is heart breaking. Wish there was a way to swipe that pain away. Are you getting medication that actually helps to keep that pain away? Or are you trying to manage with something not that effective?
Freezing? I wish I was there with you instead of sweltering here! So glad you had a lovely time!
What's on the plan for tomorrow?
What have you been up to today?
I'm very sore and tired today. It's not surprising because I drove over 400km yesterday and took 20,000 steps. (Almost). We were in Tayto park which is the only theme park in Ireland. We left home at 7.30 yesterday morning and got home around 7 last evening. Ais and her friend had a blast, and I enjoyed myself very much too. The only problem is that it is a very long day.
I've made an appointment to see my GP about my pain levels. The first appointment I could get is for Thursday week 1st July. If I need one sooner I have to ring in the morning and see if there are any cancellations.
