lw, sorry - hope you feeling better today. I do find flat coke handy for upset tummy, or rehydration salts when you start to feel a little better? Peppermint tea can help too. Give Molls a cuddle for me.

Thanks; she'll accept all cuddles.:D

I'm a lot better, ta muchly, I think it was just one of those stupid 24-hour things. Peppermint tea is wonderful I think. And plain cream crackers for when I can start coping with a little food again.

LW - I hope you had a good Lammas/Lughnasadh, do you know, it came and went without me even realising :eek: which goes to show how out of it I have been.

Thanks, we enjoyed it, and Molly was here with us, which was a bonus. I'd made Birsay biscuits and a quiche and a cherry pie, and we picked a scooter-basket-full of cherry plums when we took Molly for a walk.
Mr LW ended up jamming them on Sunday cos I wasn't well enough, bless him.

I hope you can get your meds/procedures/pain clinic appointment sorted out soon, it's nothing short of torture, what ou're going through lately from the sound of it.

Btw, Mr LW has a Round Tuit on his desk...... doesn't seem to help much, though.:D

BZ I guess you'll probably have seen the fang farrier by now. I hope you've got something organised to get you sorted out.

How's the underwear shopping going? (Says she who's been putting off underwear shopping for the longest time!)

Pcl How's Whitney today? Poor little lass; it's difficult to explain to them why you're taking them to the vet, isn't it?

LOL Typical - Mr LW just rang me and everything else I was going to say has now gone clean out of my head. :rotfl:

Oh well, it'll come back if it was important.....:D

lw she is upstairs hiding and sulking. hopefully next time she will go back to deciding the trip and jabs are worth it, she relaxed somewhat when she realised i wasnt leaving her there this time.

Trialia

*crashes*

srsly. dog-tired. didn't get any sleep last night either. but, saw the pain management consultant this morning, and he has decided that we need me to build up more of a tolerance to Lyrica so I don't get the bad daytime-sleepy side-effect. I may, however, scream like a banshee if I start gaining weight from it again - it's hard enough for me to lose weight without that added. *sigh* Anyway, he's also sent a request to my doc for me to be prescribed a muscle-relaxant-!!!-anaesthetic that they use in the maxillofacial clinic for TMJ pain, and hope that will work.

*Grabs earplugs in preparation for Banshee-like screams*.

Oh Trialia, I hope they can get your meds sorted out. How do you go about building up a tolerance?Wouldn't that make the meds less effective? The muscle relaxant/anaesthetic thingy sounds hopeful - good luck with it

purplecatlover

hope it gets sorted tria and oyu manage to catch up on some rest today.

Thanks for the link Unity, dd told me about it yesterday but I'd forgotten to check her site. It's such a shame that some idiot posted it on the net and ruined it for her fans, maybe one day she'll decided to start again.

cwta Im sorry about your Dad, and understand how upsetting it must have been for you. (((hugs)))

pcl I hope Whitney recovers soon. My aunt put a collar with a bell on her cat hoping it would warn birds so he couldn't catch them.....it didnt work

lw Glad your feeling better now

Trailia Ive had to stop taking Lyrica because despite being on the highest dose I had started getting nerve pain breaking through again and I couldn't cope with the fatigue and muscle twitches that I got with it. Id put on half a stone while I was on it, but lost it within 2 weeks of stopping it. If it had been still working I would have kept taking it despite the added problems. I hope the muscle relaxant helps.

DD's taking me to visit Dad in hospital tomorrow, as he's been moved to one thats over an hours drive away and its too far for me to drive, he's still trying to recover from the op he had 2 weeks ago, but he had 2 major ops in a few weeks so it's going to take time I suppose. Im looking forward to seeing him.

raeh

hello all :hello: thought id say hi as i dont seem to pop in often now

I hope everyone under the weather is feeling better soon

unity i started reading midnight sun from that same link a while back, someone told me about the book so i just googled it. Its odd reading the same book again? from a different perspective and my eyes dont follow the words well online and if i scrolled too quickly i jumped 10 pages :rolleyes: i might start it again though this afternoon as i did enjoy what I had read.

Sharon well done on finishing the quilt, im another one that would love to see it when you have the time if you are happy to show us

cwta I hope things are ok with your dad the rest of the time his wife is away as well i know its apologies and remorse until the next time :rolleyes: dont let it drag you down too much x

pcl i hope whitney is much better now, i hate that sound of an animal puking as i know il have to search for where they are hehe. Glad your leak is sorted, i would panic about things like that.

LW glad you are feeling better today

sue I hope you are ok how was the hair do?? i could do with having my layered again at the back but she made a bit of a mess last time cutting layers in the sides too and i said i wanted it one length

im off for a lay down now as im still knackered from yesterday as we went school shoe shopping :eek: never a pleasant experience lol

LameWolf

Suep best wishes for your dad, hope he's feeling a bit better.

Nice to see you Raeh. Sooner you than me with the shoe shopping. I hate doing that for myself, let alone if I had children to have to do it for!

Goodness you have all been chatty. bz You seriously need some decent medical professionals in your area - what a pain in the butt! I think I would have been tempted to return the X-Rays to the Dentist in the post *g*

Quiet day here with Dad who is very sheepish about yesterday - so long as that stops him drinking again, I'm all for it. Staying for an early dinner with him tonight and then will go home again.
Pal is building me a raised bed in the back garden for me to grow veggies in (stop me if I've told you this before) so I may delight you with piccies of how garden has changed. I'm quite excited at the prospect.
Hugs to everyone.
