morning all, big hugs to everyone, there seem to be so many suffering pain, and illness just now.
my mum is ok, obviously still healing and finding things difficult, as she isnt as strong and mobile as she was, but i keep telling her to rest, and in time she will be back to her old self.
suffering from arthritis pain myself, so i know how your feeling ginnyknit, its horrible isnt it, have you tried morphine or fentanyl patches?
council just been and fitted me a handrail in my shower this morning, so this evening i'll be able to shower safely, without the fear of slipping or falling.
had a wonderful shopping day yesterday, with a friend that i've only recently met, and bought myself some lovely clothes handbgd and matching purse, so feeling quiet relaxed and happy for a change.
pippa the cruise soundsljust what you and your DH need after all his treatment, hope you both have a fabulous time

Lots of love to all those struggling with health problems ... Hope you all begin to feel a bit brighter soon.
Poppa . Lots of love for your cruise.

I have been inspired to start a blanket in bright colours for the African project on Loving hands and it really is uplifting. So bright and cheerful.

Hi everyone from someone who is still recovering from a rotten chesty cough; the antibiotics are woking but a bit too slowly for me. Thanks for the hugs and the good wishes.

Shaz - I am so pleased that your mum is recovering well.

Pippa - hope OH is doing well.

Ginnyknit - hope your OH is doing well, too.

Family-wise for me, my BIL is not doing so well and the general medical opinion is that the cancer is spreading more rapidly now so it's a scary time for us all, especially for him and my dear sister, Jane. The jaundice is starting to come back, too, so the stent is not working so well now. He is due to have another CT scan this week.They have just moved house with the help of their three strapping sons, who took care of all the heavy stuff, and I'm hoping it's just the strain of moving that has made him feel less well, so I am keeping everything crossed.

My Mum has been feeling really down and the matron at the home thinks her mind wants to give in but her body doesn't. The doctor put her on antibiotics but they made her so low-spirited that she was only on them for four days. Since she came off them, she is a bit happier, but I really think she has lost the will to carry on now that she is no longer independent. It's so sad but she really couldn't look after herself, so she really does need to be where she is now. My not-so-nice sister is back there again, and Mum always seems more unsettled and agitated when she's around so I just wish she would leave her be. I'm not going to intefere unless she starts upsetting Jane again. I feel as if I am on standby now and need to be ready to go back in a hurry if needs be. It's a very worrying time for the family right now.

On the plus side, I have a new batch of work to do - compiling the content for a new website for someone about SAD (the winter blues), which is really interesting because there's a lot of research to do.

The weather has been pretty gloomy -we had rain for about two weeks but that's stopped and the sun has even put in an appearance over the last two days, although it's getting colder.

Anyway, I'd better go and get some work done. I will do the update later today or tomorrow.

Hugs to you all and especially those in need.

isom - hope you got on ok at work yesterday - was thinking of you xx

shaz - good to hear youve had a good shopping trip and that mum is improving xx

pippa - was so pleased to hear that you are going on a cruise - if my MIL and FILs explanation of the food on board which is "non-stop" is anything to go by Im hoping this will put a bit of weight on dear OH and that lovely warm sun will do you both the world of good - ive never known so much food me consumed (unless its just my MIL .................:rotfl: say no more .............) xx

ginnyknit - hoping that the Doctor has given you something to help and you are feeling a bit better xx

Two male pheasants have been fighting in the garden this morning - Ive parcelled up Lou's parcel (at last) and thats going in the next couple of days and "hopefully" if hubby is home on Saturday he can take the parcels Ive been promising to send for weeks to PO.

Hugs to all - it seems so very tough for all of us at the moment and the weather and time of year does not help do my thoughts and love to all of you xx

PS chalky - your messages do make me chuckle - hope you and hubby are ok in Spain xxx
