    Perhaps they have been winning too much and its carlings way of restricting them.!!!!!

    There were problems over the weekend with our phones but they have all restarted ok today and retained all the previous vouchers etc,I must admit I still have a few to claim and was worried that if I reset the app they might be lost

    The vets have rung.My cat is ok.He's had a thyroidectomy and 5 teeth removed.It wasn't without risk because he's 17.

    Thanks for all the good wishes.
    I've got to pick him up at 5.30.

    Tweets .I'm glad your ds hasn't got to have an operation but I expect it will be a struggle managing with both arms in plaster.

    savvy...Good news:j

    I'm a little in awe of this tweets and know nothing about how restrictive a cast can be let alone 2 ....but is your son going to need help with basic things or is there quite a bit of movement having both arms in plaster?
    Without getting too personal...what about things like washing and shaving and even things like cooking...or has he got someone who will help him.
    I'm intrigued on this one and my mind is thinking of the negatives I guess rather than the positives...but I've never had to deal with plaster casts before so don't have a clue

    hope mum gets the news she needs too....

    He said he needed to shave tonight . DS is lucky he doesn't need to shave every day. Said he will have to get some plastic bag sleeve things from somewhere like boots so he can have his showers.

    He seems to have coped so far with plastic casts on . I know his GF will have stayed some of the time but not all of the time.

    I did say are you ok for food and cooking and he said yes he ok.

    I did wonder about toilet :o but he must be coping ;) :cool:

    He works on pc at work so says he can manage that and when he rang me I asked if he had phone on loudspeaker and answer was don't be silly mum I am walking down the street its at my ear. After couple mins he said he would have to go his arm was aching :(

    Sounds like me he will go into work unless he physically cant he said he was annoyed he missed going in today.

    We need someone who have had plaster casts and to tell us if they coped lol.

    Tweets, I do feel for your DS.

    I had my left arm in plaster from fingertips to elbow for 6 weeks after breaking a bone in my hand, and my arm was in a sling. Before they plastered it I asked to go to loo, not because I needed to but because I knew it would take some figuring out later on, and I would need time on my side! Then I made them wait again while I took my cardigan off as I knew it would be very difficult afterwards.

    Washing and dressing was difficult and I lived in easy pull-on joggers and polo shirts for the entire duration. DD was a teen and she very kindly washed my hair once but after that I said never again and told her not to go into nursing... :rotfl:.

    I managed a bath with my arm raised in the air throughout, and I had a bath every day once I got it worked out. Took ages and drying took longer but I managed.

    But even so, I couldn't work, couldn't drive, couldn't shop, and I even burst into tears once after someone brought my shopping and I couldn't cope with freezer drawers and a self-closing door with only one hand trying to put it all away.

    Nightmare, and that was just with one arm out of action.

    I do hope your DS has friends nearby to give him some help in the weeks ahead. x
