    Enjoy 🥂
    Great that DD is back safe, and that your local refurb seems good. Tell them to put big outdoor covering and heaters in while they're in the first flush of improvements!

    I'm glad the news is good about DD. Yes - times have certainly changed with regard to the speed you are discharged from hospital these days.  It's the same with having a baby. They seem to chuck you out poste haste after delivery these days. When I had DD in the early 70s they kept me in for a whole week. I didn't have any complications - that was standard then!
    Your comment about the dog, eating out and food made me chuckle!😂

    Glad DD is home OK after her OP.

    Our dog loves going out with us. He loves all of the attention he gets. He is good when there is food on the table though, he just lies under the table. Probably in the hope that someone will drop something 🤣🤣🤣

    That's strange. I had codeine when I was discharged. Perhaps she can phone her dr and see if she can get prescribed something x

    Starting afresh.

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

    Great you got the planter, will Fred Head's brother be getting a name too? 😁

    Poor DD, that's so shoddy. Is she also taking ibuprofen? As with the paracetamol it probably won't help hugely but anything to take the edge off, and the double combo might help more..
