Was a nice crisp day
« All my troubles seemed so far away »
But last night my back started to play
And it looks « it’s here to stay »
🧚♀️💤🌙🍀🎶☀️💐⚽️🥅👯♀️💕
Why did I wake up with the Beatles in my head?
It must be Sunday 😉
Lots of love, and comfort, warmth and healing sun..
Did I give you that music playlist before or another?
youtube.com/playlist?list=P...
I need to update my taste I think..
Take care xx
Fran
Sorry about your back and thanks for the good wishes......I just wish the warm and healing sun would reappear from behind the thick grey cloud blanket which has been hanging around for days.
I managed to hurt my hip and leg after a too vigorous session on the exercise bike.....I am waiting for the results of an X-ray to see if it's bone, muscle or nerve damage. Can't walk without squawking in pain and now trying a meditation for pain relief.
Best wishes to you and Bea and your very dapper cat.
Thanks Knitter,
The back in fact is those one or two lung cysts I must have burst due to residual air or something..so it has to heal..
Wow sorry you hurt yourself, hope you didn’t damage yourself too seriously! 😢
Best wishes to you xx
Nothing wrong with your taste Fran and hope your back feels better soon.
Sending love and healing. Xxxxx ❤️💕💖😘
Thanks Carole 🤗💐💕
Thank you Fran..a bit of music is what I've been missing 💗. I hope your back eases today for you. Thinking of you xxx
Glad to see you back, Anne 😘 How are things going for you? I’m sure music will lift your spirits whatever, hopefully anyway 🎸🎺🎼🎧🥁 Lots of love, Penny 💕🌹💗💐
Hi Penny I know I haven't been on in a while...I've been having a terrible time and got rushed in hospital and had emergency surgery on Thursday with a ruptured mass near my fallopian tube. They removed the tube, mass and had a load of internal bleeding to sort and I've been ever so ill. Still in hospital trying to stabilise am on morphine and various drips 😕. Haven't been well enough to post tbh. Never rains but it pours eh. Hope things are ok with you though 💕 xx
Oh no! I’m so so sorry to hear you’ve had such awful trouble. You poor girl, you’re really going through so much just now. And there I was thinking we’d give you a bit of quiet with your girls while you strengthened. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through such a terrible time. I can only imagine what you’ve been through. I do hope things have finally stabilised and you can soon start to move forward again.
Sending you tons of love 💕💕💕 and a very gentle hug. Will be thinking of you and willing you on, Penny xxx 🌹
Thanks Penny yes its been very tough. Perhaps today will be a better day. Thanks for the kind message x
A better day 🧚🏻♀️ 🤞sweetheart xx
Definitely a better day, a better year all round for you and the girls darling 💐🧚♀️💕🎶💓
Went to the pool this morning stretching in the water done me good. Take care Anne xx
Good I'm glad it's.feeling a little.better.😊 x
Thank you Anne 💓
Good morning, Fran 🌺 You’ll have us all soothed, or dancing 👯♀️👯♀️ very soon. Thank you for your playlist...very thoughtful! It includes some favourites of mine too. Yesterday 🥀🎸 🎼
I managed a walk yesterday.....exercise is a real gap in my health regime at the moment, I know. I think trying to move house has blotted out almost all other thoughts and intentions. I would like to be nearer to some of my family 🤱🏻🙋🏼♀️👫👨👩👧👦 though can’t move too far from my mother 👵🏻
I do hope your back improves soon....it could be a measure of the stress you’re feeling just now?? But it may be time for an X-ray?? Or have you covered that one? Have a lovely Sunday anyway.
Penny 🌺🦋💐
Morning Penny! 💃🏻💃🏻
Glad you managed a walk..I managed 30mn in the pool. It left me totally sleepy! I am still waking up early 4.30/5 am..fell asleep again when Aria was missing me at 6.30 for breakfast and started miaowing at my door!! 😃
Yes exercise is hard going, you make a start, you have an ailment of some sort and slip back then you have to pick up the pieces again, build up the energy again, get into the rythm..🙃
I understand your dilemma about moving house, finding the right distance as well so you are not on the road constantly like I was, it wore me out. Just the idea of going down to Mum’s again is wearing me out. She was talking about it last night on the phone. I said I can’t give you a date yet, I must bury Dad first and that’s a mystery date plus the emotional involvement, honestly I don’t know how I will be.
When I see how much the last few weeks have taken out of me, I am not looking forward to going anywhere at all..but I can’t tell her that..
No he didn’t want to do an xray that day, it is improving so he has made the right call..
Think of yourself my dear Penny is my personal advice xx
Fran
I’m always ready to take your advice, Fran, but life’s not easy. Reminds me of the saying: ‘Who said life was easy??’
I think your Dad’s funeral will begin to settle your mind once it’s eventually over. Closure doesn’t even come close till then. You’ve had a long time to keep your thoughts on his death. I moved to a different place, gradually, after my father’s funeral...which was emotionally traumatic, but you somehow cope. After the funeral was over, I gradually mentally began to live in a happier place in my father’s life, before old age and illness, an easier place to be. Like mine, your Dad had lived to a good age....it’s the natural order of things. Younger, more tragic deaths are harder to come to terms with. Of course you’ll always remember and miss your Dad but it will become more settled, more like a friend in your mind. Those are my thoughts anyway.
Let your Mum wait for you for a while...with phone calls sometimes, she’ll cope. You are a good daughter but, as we have said on here, we need to consider our own needs as well. We can’t just go on giving without loving ourselves too. Hope I’m not depressing you!
Your swim sounds like excellent exercise and refreshment. I have not walked today, except after a drive to the shops. My mother uses ibuprofen cream under a tubigrip to deal with recurring pain in her forearm after breaking her wrist a year ago. Somehow she’d whittled down to just one tubigrip and it was getting a bit crisp as the cream built up and dried. Sorry! So a trip to Boots was needed....then a visit to change it. That was the afternoon gone really.
Night night for now, Fran. Hope you sleep well after your swim, and hope your team won....mine plays tomorrow evening ⚽️ !
Penny 💕🌹💗👯♀️
No you are not depressing me.. I would have closed that door after the first funeral here but now I cannot have to go through another one and not knowing when exactly doesn’t help. I know things will settle down with time but I’m not looking forward to a second funeral. I could have done without it but I will have to go through it.
Probably will need another Spa last minute holiday after that 😃 before I go down to Mum’s.
Your ibruprofen and tubigrip story makes me think of my glycerin suppositories story on her birthday but we won’t get into that. Your Mum is apparently depending on you for her care or scare so no surprise you are questioning the move etc..
Yes PSG won 0-1., not great but Nantes to opposing team is coached by Ranieri, he knew how to welcome us😉
Saw you are playing Stoke.. good luck 🍀
Sweet dancing dreams 💃🏻🎶💃🏻🎶
Fran xx
It does seem very difficult to have to cope with two funerals, and as you say, no control over the timing of the second one is unsettling to say the least. Can I ask why two??
Yes I’m definitely carer for my mother, along with my sister, but she lives even further than my 23 miles, and I have to say raises as many problems as she solves! Ha! We have a brother but he lives four hours away and rarely visits. She does have four carer visits a day, so that helps a lot. I seem to be having a moan...apologies!
I’m glad your team won...puts a spring in your step! The Liverpool/Man City match was an exciting game today....we’ve been waiting for City to trip up, though they’re pretty secure at the top of the league. Yes, Stoke for us tomorrow 🤞.
I’ll try sleeping next...the estate agent is coming over tomorrow to share a rethink on the house sale....sounds like a price reduction to me!
Goodnight, Fran, hope you relax with your herbal tea. I’m listening to my air purifier buzzing away. I keep it on for a couple of hours each night...seems to help my breathing, and the sound is quite comforting...my nightly friend!! Ha! Penny 💃🕺🏼
Two funerals because Dad wanted his ashes to be in his wife’s tomb, next to hers in Paris, so I filed the paperwork and am waiting..My brother, her son, had it planned for January 29th, but I don’t know if we will make that date.
I understand, I had all those comings and goings before he had the colostomy then had to live with a pouch, it got too difficult for him to stay at home. He needed 24h care.
I saw the Liverpool-Man City match, a thrashing for your rivals 😃
How strange I have the estate agent at 3.30pm tomorrow coming to price Dad’s flat because I am keeping it, and I have to give my brothers their share. I have been living here for a while and I can’t be bothered moving anymore.
4.41 am I slept on and off.
I have to book for a thorax CT scan this morning, my two-year check-up, seems appropriate now with the pains I have to get it done.
Time to meditate 😉
Have a better day my friend Penny 💃🏻🎶💓
First things first...my team WON. Didn’t see anything of the game but followed it online.... around watching the surgeons on BBC2. I’m amazed again at what they can do 😳!!
Hope you’ve had at least an ok day. My estate agent believes that no secure sale after over 30 viewers is merely bad luck...takes some believing. We have sold four times but has fallen through each time, and is off the market for six weeks or so each time. 🤨🤨No price reduction advised, as offers received v close. So on we go...!! I hope your estate agent advised a very reasonable valuation. You’ve got so much to settle before you can relax. Poor Fran 💕
Wishing you a gentle relaxed night, with sleep where it happens. Nighty night 🦋🧚🏻♀️😴 🧚🏻♂️ Penny xx
Great Penny!! Glad your team won!!
I’ll try to watch the surgeons on BBCiplayer, thanks for that.
The estate agent visited but has to study all the paperwork first. He said it will take two weeks.
Not like in England you are lucky to find a buyer here, people don’t move.
This evening apparently we should have an answer for the death certificate.
I have to collect my prescription for the thorax ct scan today and see when I have a date. Then I will know a bit more..
Yes all at once as usual but I take it in my stride you know between herbal teas and nespressos 😂
Have a good day Penny xx
Hi Fran 😀 if you’re lookingon iplayer,the full title is Surgeons: At the edge of life. I have to close my eyes from time to time but very interning, and heart warming, watching their tremendous successes.
Your agent makes things sound like very slow motionin Switzerland, and another dragged out anxietyfor you. Yes, keep on with the herbal teas and nesspressos in between times, and I’ll do the same. About to have my morning G&B cocoa now. Then a catch up sort of day, bank accounts, ironing, that sort of thing!! Hope you get your CT date without too much of a wait. I’m on a very thin reply box here now, so,please send us another pic to get us going again! Have a lovely-ish day 👯♀️👯♀️💕 Px
Okidoki I will xx Fran
Happy,Taste is timeless and you either have it or you don't and in your case you have it in abundance,now meditate your back pain away and have a nice day ..
