Previous thread is HERE

ZombieLad gets married today. Hats on and champagne at the ready!

A week today he and ZombieLass arrive to spend Christmas with me. It will be the Best. Christmas. Ever.

There have been no miracles so my remaining days keep ticking away. Life is for living. Death is not to be feared. Wakes are for celebrating.

Please join me.

I feel like I won the lottery.

Today's post brought not 1 but 2 parcels.

Parcel 1 had magic medicine.

Parcel 2 had an Amazon Echo - a present from my friends in New Jersey. (She's the one who flew over to spend Easter with me last year.)

Pain? What pain?

Wow Zombie, that is great news. Have you made a cake or had some fresh air ?

MrsMozart · 30/12/2016 15:27

Yay the medicine and the new gadget!

BathshebaNewYearStone · 30/12/2016 15:28

Yay! I can't imagine how lovely it must feel to be pain free. Xmas Grin

Wolfiefan · 30/12/2016 15:41

Yay for both the parcels. Fantastic news.

cozietoesie · 30/12/2016 16:01

Being pain free is like having a special holiday. I'm very pleased for you. Smile

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/12/2016 16:10

Hooray for the Royal Mail!!

UnbornMortificadoAtChristmas · 30/12/2016 16:14

Yay for magic medicine! Didn't know you could receive it in the post Shock

So so pleased your pain free Smile

JsOtherHalf · 30/12/2016 16:15

If you can afford them, get as many add ons for the Echo as you can manage eg switches for electric blanket, lamps, tv, etc You could also look into remote door opening?

Susiesoap7 · 30/12/2016 16:28

Fantastic to hear you are pain free Flowers

I imagine you're feeling pretty good in lots of ways!

Actually, a dim, distant memory tells me that the new medicine might eliminate the need for Movicol too Grin double whammy Grin

Echo looks like a great toy, I wonder if "Alexa" could be pursuaded to administer the medicine?

PotOfYoghurt · 30/12/2016 17:21

Hooray for a doubly great day!

PacificDogwod · 30/12/2016 18:21

Yay to No Pain and becoming an Echo Expert Smile

Just caught up - it must have been such a wrench to see Zlass and Zlad go; I really feely for you. Sounds like they had a great stay, you enjoyed it most of the time and your friends came through with sorting out transport when you were not feeling up to it.

OhTheRoses · 30/12/2016 18:40

Dearest Zombie. Oh such lovely news. And here are your virtual flowers bought from a familiar once oft trod.

OhTheRoses · 30/12/2016 18:57

Hmm fid - wonders how it got there, puts hands in pockets and hums. Now that I cannot help with.

Lizsmum · 30/12/2016 19:26

Delurking to say what a great person you sound Zombie. I'm so glad you've got your magic medicine. Hope it does all you need.

UnbornMortificadoAtChristmas · 30/12/2016 20:08

Zombie not to nag but have you got that water infection checked out?

I realised typing that, that I'm defiantly turning into my mam Blush

startingtheengine · 30/12/2016 21:10

Zombie glad your magic medicine has arrived and it is doing the job. Hope you have a restful night.

Allalonenow · 30/12/2016 21:13

Hope that new medicine is doing the trick Zombie.
A brand new gizmo is always fun, hope Alexa isn't giving you any cheek back.

I remember a voice recognition demo where the demonstrator asked for a pizza order that he would collect later that night. Back from the voice box came the comment "I have booked you two rail tickets to Milwaukee for Tuesday 19th. Xmas Grin
You've had some fab parcels, hope you got something nice in the Mumsnetter of the House box too.

Very sweet dreams Zombie

Dancinghorses36 · 30/12/2016 21:20

Zombie you posted on my first post today and I just wanted to say I have followed your story and you are such a lovey and courageous person Flowers

iklboodolphRedNoseReindeer · 30/12/2016 21:22

Yay for Zombie's Magic Medicine! Sleep well.

We've just watched Inside Out. I'm now a hot, snivelling, snot dribbling mess. DH isn't much better. Damn you, Pixar!!

Susiesoap7 · 30/12/2016 21:23

Sssh! If we don't hear from zombie I bet she is dancing in the garden with the fairies before she flops into bed 😛😛
