Muddy_Walker said:How are you doing Dusty?Hi,MW,I am reasonably OK,just depressed and lethargic,my B12 jab is due in 2 weeks,hopefully it will give me some get up and go. At the moment I cant bring my self to do anythingI have to help Mr Dusty now,and then it will take all morning doing the dinner. Rump steak. I will try to get back this afternoon with updates. Each day has dragged this month,we have both been rather depressed,and are now going to bed by 9 pm,but the nights are getting lighter,clocks go forward this weekend,and hope we buck up a bit.All sorts of news,but I have to go for now. See you all later.5

Hope the B12 jab helps a bit more this time, dusty. Maybe the extra sunlight will help you feel more like going outside for some vit D too. Chin up, pet!

I'll see if I can do better tomorrow.Tried to phone today to make an appointment for my B12 jab on 3rd April,but there was only a message saying for 2 days the surgery was shut all day for staff training! Whaaa?. I never know what to expect from my surgery,its gone so weird these days ,but closing down for staff training is a new one on me.!Message said call 111 for any help or info,and 999 in an emergency.

Not sure if you'll see this dusty. I've been wondering how things are with you and yours.I tried to find you through the Poor Health thread but a lot of threads seem to have been closed I hoe you're managing to get the B12 jabs when needed.I think the last time I saw a post from you Mr Dusty was very worried about his daughter in Africa so I hope things are ok.I'm not surprised Beanie is now a Forum Ambassador she seems to have a talent for keeping track of everyone. I'm considering making a new Poor Health thread as it's a while since that's been very active.I was looking at GMNs House belonging to an habitual smoker thread last night. Went to read it again this morning as one of her replies was from a long time poster on the Poor Health threads ande I've been wondering if she is ok.I miss your poems they brought back lots of memories of my childhood and school days.Take care I hope things are better for you all.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
There but for fortune go you and I.7
