May I join you all again? I have missed the tough thread a great deal these past weeks but have needed a break. I won't be drawn into any negativity so rest assured I will continue to post about my OS ways and interact positively with like minded people on here.

I would like to say hello to Pops. It must be about a year since you last posted on the tough thread. I have been reading your blog a little through the year. You've been plodding along just fine huh?

Friend did a Hopi ear candle tonight for me, seems to have helped quite a bit. Showers did nothing, pharmacist told me to stop cleaning out my ears!

Anyway, hopefully, by tomorrow the Hopi will have done it's stuff and I should be feeling better - thanks for the kind words and advice

I spent a good twenty minutes hanging out, nattering over a real garden fence this morning. The Collie took me for a walk and wound up dragging me over to the fence to see the woman in the garden. First time I've ever seen him standing paws up on the fence! He even made friends with cat who lived there.


I only have 18 inches of snow left on the back lawn. It's warm, well over 5C today but they are forecasting snow on the weekend. I really loathe that four letter word.


My sore shoulder isn't getting any better and now the dr is muttering rotator cuff injury at me. I like to think he's wrong as I've worked with too many nurses not much older than me, who have wound up leaving due to the injury.


I'm too young to be put out to pasture and collect disability pay But on the other hand I might be able to get a duty to accommodate line where there is no lifting.


I swear this last two weeks, it's been like every patient has wanted to hang onto my shoulder or expects to be lifted up off a stretcher. Come on people, you've had cataract surgery, how do you get up from a bed at home, that's how you get up from a stretcher.

Evening fencers. Welcome back to Pops and Fuddle. Hope your ankle heals quickly Mrs VP. Sorry to anyone I've missed but this thread moves really quickly and I can't keep up.

Have had a really busy but productive day at the paid stuff. Am off now for a few days. Am doing Mother's Day with DS and his fiancee tomorrow and lots of other plans for the weekend with DH.

Mrs VP....having spent 8 weeks on crutches after my hip replacement I can sympathise, but take care.

Welcome back Pops and Fuddle

Wondercollie, hope that your shoulder mends soon.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. The funny thing is that the day before I fell and broke my ankle I was at a Falls Prevention Convention .

Read that out to hubby, since generally if I'm warned about something I'll end up having it happen .

Need to get the flat cleaned up today. A much bigger job than it sounds, with plaster dust, the odd paint bit and so forth. Really wish I had a hand with it, or at least someone to gee me on, but all hands are otherwise occupied.

Fuddle Hi, hope all is well with you. Plodding is the word. Been OK but a little hiccup going on at present but think its kind've sorted. Not great but not as bad as feared(I think)

Rainy-Days Well washing of ears and but I hope you weren't pushing those cotton buds on sticks down your ear "ole" Good hear you are feeling better.


shanks77 How kind to be welcomed back from(I nearly said a newbie):Dbut you know what I mean.


Ditto FairyPrincessk Knit Witch and Silvasava another thumbs up cherry juice and strawberries I won't complain about eating or drinking either;)


ivyleaf I don't know... McCulloch is pretty quick on her trike, been a good friend. Was watching a St Patrick's music show with her on Tuesday afternoon before nipping off for a comedy night seeing Count Arthur Strong. One of my better days. Actually Saturday night was exceptional a Brass Band concert with three of the best and the second half they appeared as one.


I could've done with a mobility scooter that day(not that I could've ridden to Durham and back)but getting between home and the bus stops at the start/end of the journey proved harder than I expected.
