    I'm fine thanks x I just tire easy x

    Did you manage to wash your hair ok?

    I don't see my problems as any worse than anybody elses...a problem is a problem no matter what it is.

    I did manage my hair... a bit of a palava (sp?) but feel much better now that it is done:)

    Make sure you get lots of rest.

    Just going to catch up with Waterloo Rd on BBCi player:D

    Have a good day

    Oh my goodness, something that we all do all the time!!

    I'm surprised with the many variations of shoes I have that I haven't done something like that before now.

    EE

    I know ! I never wear high heels any more as I can no longer walk in them and worry that I will break my ankle;) . What was I wearing... a flat pair of mules:D. Mind you I am so clumsy I am surprised that I have got to the ripe age of 45 withoout breaking anything.:) Well apart from a finger .. . but that was not my fault.. someone slammed a train door shut on my hand:eek: but that is another story.

    Don't stay in lurkdome;)

    Could you not persuade your OH to do your hair? It's amazing how many simple things become a huge nightmare isn't in when you can't use something.

    Hope you manage to get your hours done but don't push yourself as it won't help your recovery - but I understand the stress re recovery - take it easy x

    Quick update as have not been on for a few days.

    Went back to hospital yesterday . Plaster was removed and I have now wearing a lovely knee length black boot:eek::eek:

    Bought a lovely dress for the Communion on Sunday . It is black and white so matches the boot !!:rotfl:

    Not even going to start on my finances :o I am managing to do a few hours work every day ... but not enough:(

    Hope you are all ok

    Hmmm sounds attractive :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Glad you've had the plaster off, is it making it a bit easier to get about now?

    Finances.....what are they? I would suggest you sunbathe in the garden but you are going to get one big white patch on your leg!

    Hi IMD,

    Still struggling to get about as when the boot is on it is effectively like a plaster. At least I can take it off to have a bath:).

    Hope the Communion service is easy for you, and that the boot is a bit more practical than the plastercast was.

    Hi EE

    Oh sweetie - I've been wrapped up in a silly cold/moving house/general chaos and not noticed your poor foot

    Poor you! xxx

    Take care of yourself
