OS Daily Monday 22nd October

Hi everyone.

Dark and Dismal here. The Rev is in high panic mode now. She is going for her pre-op assessment tomorrow and thinks she may be going in quite soon. Unbelievable. She only saw the consultant last Monday. She is having calcium deposits removed from her shoulder tendons and while he has her opened up he is going to try to do something about the arthritis in her shoulder joints. Her right arm will be immobilised for a couple of weeks and fairly useless for a few weeks after that. She is practising trying to clean her teeth with the 'wrong' hand and reckons that it will take an hour or so to get into her clothes. Now she is trying to get everything ready for someone else to take over her duties. Getting weddings organised, and Memorial services and the like. Oh! It's going to be such fun.

I went through the lounge like a dose of salts this morning so that is fairly presentable. Jacket Potatoes, sausages and LO cauli-cheese for lunch, (Oh yes, I'm going to have to cut up her food for her,) but it will be something on toast for tea.

I never wanted to be a nurse, not even when I was a child, poor Rev, she doesn't know what she is in for. Even my children say that when they were ill I was wonderful for 24 hours, but after that they were expected to be better.

Halight: Poor old you. That is the most miserable pain. I had the same once and got some relief from soaking a cottonwool ball in neat TCP and ramming it into my mouth on to the offending tooth. It smarted at first but eventually the pain died down. Now, if I get the beginnings of an ulcer I dab on TCP and it does help.

RedRuby: I think I read once about mixing a soluble aspirin into shampoo when you wash your hair. Perhaps that was a cure for dandruff, but it just might help.

DG: How dreadful for your neighbours. My Best Friend's son, who was also my DS2's best friend, died of cancer at 31 and I was with her the whole way through so I know how devastating it is. At the funeral I've never seen so many young men in tears. I do feel for them.
Enjoy the sun!

I'm here procrastinating as usual. I'm supposed to be typing up the minutes of a meeting, but as you can see - I'm not.

Monnagran I'm just sticking my head round the door to offer my best wishes for the Rev. I do hope it all goes well for her.:o

Lovely mild day here, it seems to have flown as had a few errands to do on way to collect DGS2, so had to allow that time, plus extra in case I got caught in traffic ( narrow roads where you can't pass slow drivers) all done now, dinner eaten....roast pork with chilli sauce, mashed spuds and mashed carrots and swede, nice.

Made a chocolate cake on Saturday for DGS' birthday, used a recipe from a book I've had for years, stuck to recipe and it is like sugary goo, so not pleased, will be careful if I use any more of the recipes.

Hugs to all in pain for whatever reason....Halight especially as have yet to have worse pain than toothache....not impressed with that dentist.

Will soak fruit over next couple of days for Christmas pudding, last year's was really good but that is no guarantee that the same will be true of this years....use my mother's basic recipe and usually have a rummage in cupboards for anything else suitable to throw in....hence different outcome from year to year!

Heading for chair and footrest with knitting in a bit.

Have a good evening all

judi about 11 years ago I went to a school reunion at my old primary school I hadn't been there for well over 55 years.A complete stranger walked up to me and said very chattily
"Hello Jackie how are you you haven't changed a bit "
Now did she mean that I looked nearly 60 when I was 10 ?:) or had I really not changed that much :)apart from being twice the size at the very least as I was a skinny stick-like creature when I was a sprog :) and I'm more of a weeble-type now :)She knew me, but I hadn't a clue who this lady was with grey/white hair :) once she told me her name I remembered her as she was the only person I had ever met called Olive :)It was unnerving seeing chaps that I had gone to school with with no hair, and finding out how many had survived the preceding 58 years, and how many sadly had not I'm glad I went but I don't think I'd go again though.:):)
My shoe boxes are done and dusted, but the weather was just too nasty to venture out to the centre so thats a job for later in the week when its a bit drier.
Just off to make some dinner bangers and new potatos and baked beans that will warm me up a bit .I think my joints need oiling as I'm a dead ringer for a creaking gate today.
have a good evening everyone

Evening all

Halight - hope the toothpain goes asap, I had an abscess once, worst pain in the world
Monnagran - hope the rev gets on ok

I have no idea where today has gone! I did a Health & Safety work placement visit first thing so didn't get to office til 10am, bit of admin and lots of phonecalls. Big skip came lunchtime so I spent an hour flattening boxes and filling it up with all the rubbish from the move and then some NVQ work in the afternoon.

I had college tonight, but the tutor was full of a cold so we finished an hour early :j. Yesterday I made double veggie roast dinner so plated that up ready to have for tea, it tasted even yummier today

OS wise - dishes washed, LO dinner, bins put out, recycling sorted, need to put away laundry and maked packed lunch although I may leave lunch til tomorrow morning.

Have a good evening all
