    Oh no, poor mar! I hope you feel much more like yourself in the morning. It sounds as if you were well looked-after in the hospital though?

    Having changed my password, I managed to get back on the old format after replying to a post. I was so relieved!

    The doc in A&E said it's ok for normal folk. but I did have huge doubts about it when I googled it. It's Zoledronic acid Fuds, for osteoporosis. Apparently. I should have listened to the voices lol but oh noo I decided to try it once. Meant to have it once a year for 3 years but I won't have it again.

    Mar - I have had to take similar medication for osteopenia but consultant said the Calcium & Vit D tabs were sufficient - glad I could stop the acid! Do hope you improve quickly & tell the RV to give you plenty of TLC and jelly babies.
    I got locked out too but 3000 odd days! Couldn't log in on my tablet so just come upstairs and changed PW and email address as it was out of date. Thought I'd be stuck with the new format forum but thank goodness still got the old familiar one with all my chums - phew!

  • Oh Mar... Sending feel better soon vibes your way! :lovethoug
    Rest up and recuperate as much as possible, for a good few days at least, it certainly knocks the stuffing out of you (& that's just being in hospital!) so please take care!

    So mar, you are not normal.

    I'm saying nothing.

    Let's hope today is more normal up at MSE Towers. I imagine that there is a new, rookie operator up there with a big L on their desk, who keeps pressing the wrong button and throwing the whole system into chaos.

    A bit colder this morning. I opened the door for Millie a couple of hours ago and she screeched to a halt and glared at me accusingly. I think it will be a lightning dash for me, up to the shop for my newspaper (I only get one at the weekend) and daily walk. Then it will be pottering around the house this morning and an afternoon curled up in my rocking chair being cosy.

    Whatever you are doing this weekend, keep warm.

    THOUGHT FOR TODAY (with mar in mind)

    Normality is a paved road: it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow. (Vincent van Gogh)

    Mar so sorry to hear of your trauma.

    I do hope you are much better now x

  • I hope Mar is feeling better today I happen to think normality is very overrated!

    Ok so I told you all i am helping my dd2 out with child care as she is training for her new job?

    Well the company that has employed her is one of the largest suppliers of sex toys in the world! This is not the same as being the supplier of the largest sex toys, there is a subtle difference.

    Fuds and anyone else of a nervous disposition may want to stop reading as I wouldn't want you upset by my depravity.

    So yesterday she bought home a couple of samples, ye gods and little fishes, since when did a sex toy need a usb connector and now I know why!
    Also none of the samples were made of the garish pink of yesteryear, they are all grey and chrome etc.
    Funniest of all is that this is the daughter who has always been a bit prudish with me, the other one shares everything.
    So to see my dd2 waving around sex toys and explaining their various attributes was quite an eye opener!
    Chin up, Titus out.

    Morning all. Hester, you've given me my first laugh of the day. Mar, hope you're feeling better today.

    I have been reading the forum for far too long this morning, I must get moving, decorating to do today.
    Spend less now, work less later.
