I have got a hospital appointment on Tuesday for my hand.
I have strapped my middle finger to my forefinger rather than the ring finger because it was falling in the wrong angle and my joints were very swollen. I have had cold packs on it as much as I could today and done very little except look after the children.
When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.5 -

thorsoak said:Our new poster must have a lot of time on her hands - to read through 94 pages and then form opinions worth posting!I don't know how anyone who hasn't followed Ss since her first thread can really form a valid opinion on her life . It's just moments in time without the full background.I came to the thread recently and noticed our old friend WW was holding forth once more. I've reached the point where I'm past taking her opinions on board. i did the sensible thing and didn't respond.I recently posted that i had no issue with Biggest working at a suitable daistance in the cabin. Two of my adult offspring are Keyworkers and youngest is in the extremely vulnerable group but I'm not attacking Ss because she is being careful and following guidelines.If people want to have a go at anyone do it to those openly flouting their own guidelines. Neither Ss or any family member have driven hundreds of miles against the rules nor then driven a further 50 miles to test their eyesight with their young child in the car... If you're worried or angry aim for the right target not someone who is doing their best while also protecting those on the frontline.Hope all goes well on Tuesday Ss and your hand gets a chance to heal. Try to have a quieter day tomorrow and remember you don't need to constantly justify yourself to those who know you.sleep wellpollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

One of my cat boys is very poorly sadly.Is that Master J beanie? They bring us love and joy but boy do they break out hearts and the bank at times. Hope it doesn't mean another trip to the V E T.i just have the Grandcats at dds boyfriends now. I couldn;t bear to have another afre losing the cat of my heart.. Mind you he was run over so not illness or old age so I couldn't risk it happening again to another still in the prime of life. He survived feline Leukemia but a hit and run driver . Mine have always been rescues or random ones that turned up and stayed and everyone was a free spirit so not one to stay indoors all the time..Love and light to you and which ever mog it is. I could never sleep if they were poorly so hope you can nod off at some point and things look a bit better tomorrow.pollyx

Is he on pain relief beanie? We've been lucky to have a couple slip gently away. One never came indoors , she was poorly when she turned up in the back garden but would eat and drink outdoors. We got her to the vet and she was suffering from kidney failure . vet suggested bringing her back the next day but in the morning she just slipped away in her favurite sunny spot in the garden. I hope Master J will go gently. They do break our hearts but we remember each one with love and some good memories.i had a childhood cat that lived until 22 so hopefully Mr N will be around for some years yet.No words really beanie.love pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
