    Molly is getting over her op really well. I took her out with me this afternoon rather than leave her at home without her buster collar on, and she was fine. I carried her as I went to look around the auction and into the bank, and took her into Pets @ Home to choose a nice new collar and lead for her. I have put the collar on her and will fit the buster collar to it for overnight ;)

    I'd taken a photo of her next to a paperback book just after I got her home, so will take a similar photo tomorrow and post it, to show how she has grown, though she is still smaller than Bess :D

    Hi hun
    Good news that Molly is getting over her op so well, she must be feeling OK as she's "playing" with her collar :eek:. Looking forward to seeing some new pics of her :D

    Sounds as though you've been busy again today, hope today's been OK.

    (((hugs)))

  • I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, and that of other people loosing loved ones to cancer.

    I'm often reading at this time. My DH was fighting it for a second time and was doing well on chemo but then suffered an accute illness and had no resistance so he caught a bug in hospital and died in March. Several health professionals are hinting for me to make a complaint but I don't know, it will not help me to move on, so for now I have left it. I do need to question the care but not just yet perhaps.

    I see that I'm not the only one taking time to sort clothes. I'm not too bad a taking the ones he didn't wear often to charity shops (best suits, etc) but everyday is still a no no. As for throwing anything of his in the recycling (socks/pants) well I can't do that either so I have several bags just sitting here for now. They alternate between the car, the utility and the hall - but never quite get further. I need to ask someone to take them away but don't want to put that on anyone else.

    As for watching the Olympics, I just want it to be over. He was a coach for an Olympic sport and it is just too close to home. I just keep imagining what he would have said about all the results so I'm avoiding. He was so looking forward to it all.

    I agree to doing as much 'paperwork' in the first weeks 'numb' stage. I got more done that week than any time since. Auto-pilot! Aftershave is a good idea. One of my hardest things was changing the bed for the first time. I've no idea why but it just felt all wrong and took me ages.

    Sorry to ramble

    Just popping my head around the door to say `happy weekend` everyone.

    I have been lurking mostly this week as today is my sons wedding and its been so busy!

    Susan you are doing so brilliantly Sweetheart and sounds like you and the girls have settled back into a routine. I hope you manage to catch up with your friends at the carboot too.

    Welcome puppywalker...your post had me in tears so here is a gentle (((HUG))) from me too. We are all here if you need a chat, rant or maybe even just someone to say `hello`. Life is so hard at times and someone once said to me that we must just take a day, an hour and sometimes even just a minute at a time.

    Well my thoughts strangely are mixed today. I am so thrilled than my son and his GF are tying the knot this afternoon however last night I filled in these divorce papers again...all 3 copies by hand:eek: ( I did them before but had no forward address to serve them)...this time I`m over 5 years separation so will go straight through. Feels odd that I am dealing with both ends of the spectrum.

    Anyway...off to make myself look presentable...already admiring my nice red shiny nails as I type this...I never wear nail polish and I have decided that I really must make the effort more often.

    Anyway...eeeeek is it that time already!!!

    Angiexx
