Hurrah! Am so pleased for you. What time are you going to get your cast removed?

bellavita · 11/09/2008 08:16

for you sleeping - that is a milestone achieved.

i feel a little lighter today having had more than 3 hrs sleep.well were hoping to leave here around 9.30 but j has gone back to sleep so i think we could be delayed.
yes am wondering the combination of my tablet a hot drink and just watching the telly had any bearing on me drifting off to sleep or if my body had just decided enough was enough.so i will do it again tonight and see if i can make it do it again.

I'm so sorry I forgot to mention the repair kit for the blanket. Actually it was a very dark blue with stars on it. Glad you got some sleep last night. I'll be out a bit today and this evening but will try and check in from time to time.
Best of luck with the cast.

thumbwitch · 11/09/2008 09:11

good luck - hope your arm isn't too skanky!

needsupport · 11/09/2008 12:38

DutchOma · 11/09/2008 13:08

bellavita · 11/09/2008 15:19

Well, I left two of my fingers in the car door when I got to work , so not feeling my best and the chef had to get the first aid kit out as the door had cut them.

I still had to clean the flippin big chiller out though!

needsupport · 11/09/2008 16:12

oh bellavita that sounds really painful
hope your alright!

bellavita · 11/09/2008 16:20

just feeling very sorry for myself - so sorry that we just might have to have fish n chips from the chippy for tea

how has your day been?

needsupport · 11/09/2008 16:38

fish and chips sounds like a good idea!are you badly bruised aswell and more to the point how did you leave your fingers in the door!

day is going good.j is in a good mood although was a bit stroppy on the way home because he was tired.it does feel strange to have two arms again and found myself doing one handed toilet trip earlier because i forgot i had two proper hands again.
im doing bath time later but am still going to need mum to insert and remove the monster for now incase i drop himbetter safe than sorry

Afternoon NS
sounds like things are brighter..
2 arms are handy for so many things - congratulations on getting yours back.
back later have to make tea for the boys. jjx

bellavita · 11/09/2008 17:47

not sure if badly bruised because I have got huge plasters on! They are throbbing though.

differentID · 11/09/2008 18:44

hello, glad you had a good day- I bet your arm felt like it was floating at first! Enjoy bath time!

needsupport · 11/09/2008 19:49

today has been ok
feels a bit weird and itchy but was good to get back to bathtime properly.even if i got very wet!
homestart comes tomorrow so am gearing myself up for that now.

differentID · 11/09/2008 20:07

fab news- are you feeling a bit more like yourself? You sound it.

needsupport · 11/09/2008 20:13

do not feel like a complete basketcase tonight

MatNanPlus · 11/09/2008 20:17
