    I’m glad it was noted that you are still unwell and shouldn’t be working 👍 OMG to the vet bill so far, can most of this be recovered via insurance? We watched Little Fires Everywhere it was good, a slow burner (pardon the pun) but really enjoyed it. Keeping everything crossed for B 🤞xx

    Most of the vet bill will be recovered so long as my insurance company pay up, I have to pay £99 excess and 20% of the bill because of her age and that should be it
    I was hooked on Little Fires and just had to watch the whole thing to find out what happened  😀
    We are having trouble stopping B from jumping up and down from the settee 😳I left her downstairs in her bed when I went to bed today and closed the stair gate so she wouldn't go upstairs then DD came in and said B was on her bed, she had climbed through the side of the stairs, we have horizontal bannisters so she can climb through 🙀I've blocked it off now. I'm not sure if she has been out for a poop yet though, but then she hasn't had a lot to eat just some chicken, I'm going to try her with some of her food tomorrow

  • I haven't seen little fires, but her wagging her tails is obviously a good sign. Shows she seems happy. x

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x

    I’m glad B is doing well 👍 My dog sleeps on and often in my bed at the bottom if she’s cold - at least she keeps my feet warm 🤣

    B is actually probably doing better than me at the moment😀I've had her bed on the floor next to my bed for the last couple of nights and she has slept in there without moving all night, the  only problem is that J the cat then comes in and gets comfy on my bed with me, I wouldn't mind but he gets up and mooches around in the night and it wake me up, he also fidgets, I can't shut him out though because he will just meow and scratch at the door all night 
    😂😂 at your dog sleeping in the bottom of your bed,saves buying a furry hot water bottle

    Thanks 😊she is definitely determined, DD is at work now and B is lying outside her door,I'm not sure if it's DD she wants or the new comfy memory foam mattress she bought recently 😀

  • Work up at 6am today by DD getting ready for work, I got up to let B out for a wee and went back to bed and I didn't wake up again until 10.30. I've put a load of washing in which has just finished but the sky has gone very black so I don't know whether to peg it out or not, it was lovely and sunny when I got up, I also need to stroll slowly to the shop because I've run out of bread but I will leave that until later
    Ive got hold of my surgery again and explained my symptoms and she has booked me an appointment for Friday to see someone if I'm still not better,she did tell me to phone in the morning at 8.30 for an emergency appointment if I felt like I needed one before then or to phone 111 if it was urgent. My cough has gone back to a dry cough which is mostly not there unless I talk, when I talk I get breathless and then the cough comes back, I actually feel a bit more human and have a bit more energy but just need my breathing to get back to normal now, I've had this since the 23rd of August and it's getting annoying now, I've got things I want to do. I also must phone work today to give them the good news 😳
    B is doing well,she seems quite perky this morning and there's been lots of tail wagging going on ,I took her for a very slow wander up the road last night and she was ok with that, she's only allowed a ten minute walk on the lead until her post op check,this is good because I can't walk that far or very fast either ,we looked like a right pair of invalids wobbling up the road .i must also phone the vet because she has to go back for her post op check ten days after her op, her op was done at a different branch to the one where we normally go and it's a bus plus a ten minute walk away so I'm hoping I can go to my branch which is a five minute bus journey. I also need to pay the excess and co payment for treatment so far 🙀
