Hello.
Am in bed, I got dc some toast this morning and that finished me off for the day. I am trying to wean myself off the opiates and this morning I was under the duvet, wearing a jumper and covered in goosebumps. Do you think it was cold Turkey? I shall have to take some if I want to get up but am presently quite happy with my Mum downstairs fielding the children's wants and needs and a cleaning company that my brother announced he'd booked and paid for, 6 hours this week and six hours next. Obviously there isn't six hours cleaning that needs doing in my house so I might space them out a bit to keep me going over the next week or two.
Oggs, I am due back in hospital on Thursday for my injection. They couldn't do it there as it needs two consultants, one to do the guiding X ray and one to do the jabbing so the timetabling is quite tight and there are 500 people in front of me.
There were some very batty old ladies on the wards with me and some frequent commode using ones too, I'll say no more. However I met some interesting people including a delightful, sharp as a pin and funny 95 year old who I will go and see in her old people's home when she's better. I felt enormously blessed while I was in there with my sucession of visitors, phonecalls, enquiries via dh and text messages. The three other women were made widows much too early along with other tragedies - one 50 year old ish lady had only recntly lost her husband, was unfortunatly childless and suffering from Parkinsons had been made redundant. She didn't tell me until later and realised she'd been leaving the ward when DH came so there was no hand holding after that.
Anyway I have realised how lucky I am so you will never hear me moan again!
How are you both finding the holidays? How are things for you Lyra?
