    ruby positive vibes for little dog x

    donnygal that is lovely x

    marie try not to worry x x

    molly i hope that you are ok x

    we had a massive thunderstorm with hail this afternoon just as we left the hospital, we were both soaked to the skin by the time we got back to the car :(

    more bad news, just been told i have myopic macular degeneration and cataracts in both eyes, but because it is early days not much can be done, it is a wait and see sort of thing, pardon the pun........ i am only 55 :(
    have to go back in 9 months for another check up.

    must admit to having a little cry when we got back and i have a southern comfort in front of me now. it just feels like my body has given up on me with everything that has been going on for the last couple of years feels like i am a female jonah :(

    really annoyed at the young registrar i saw who decided that he could bully me about my weight and i should go swimming twice a week and go on a diet and excercise blah blah blah all very well if you have the money and are healthy and i have vowed never to diet again after forty years of yoyo dieting.
    anyway !!!!!! has that got to do with my eyes :mad: then he grabbed my operated hand to move it. bloody hell i gave out a shout :eek:
    hope i don't have to see him again :mad:
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
