Hello,, everyone! Just thought I'd pop in and say 'Hello!' as i've been really busy lately and not getting much chance to look in at the Forum. I sometimes get chance to read but not much time to respond - only to very few!
I had COVID again a few weeks ago which has left me with an aversion to certain foods and smells and also a phantom smell that hits my senses from time to time. It smells like poo! I've read on line that this is a known side effect and so it will hopefully go!
Apart from that, all is well and life is good!
We're loving having our new cat, Socks, to keep us company. She's an absolute joy and we're so glad we agreed to take her on. She turns out to be nearly 15 - not 12 as we were first told, but she's still got plenty of energy to get out in the garden and chase the leaves! She can jump up onto the 6ft fence and has explored the highest levels in our bungalow. She's very loving and has become a 'lap cat'. Thanks again to Don who has taken on two 'second hand' cats in recent years and has written about them so beautifully and in such a loving way that he inspired us to have Socks.
We've been busy with the roof leaking in the conservatory; dealing with the insurance company re my iron dropping onto the lounge carpet and leaving a very visible imprint; spending hours on the phone to Vodafone who have, after nearly two years, finally arranged an engineer who was able to fix our land line and also, have finally corrected the incorrect phone number that was linked to account; we've had some unexpected lunches out with family and old friends; there have been umpteen health related visits (dentist, One You weightloss , optician, blood test) and problems with my last medication request that was inadvertantly rejected by the locum doctor instead of it being authorised (it took days to sort out and I was panicking as was running out of meds!).
Now, it's the run up to Christmas and there are more lunches planned plus the Breathe Easy Christmas party, Flower Club Christmas meeting, WI Christmas meeting, Austin 7 club Christmas party ... Oh, we're SO lucky, but I'm already exhausted!
I'm thankful that, this year, my husband and I are both well enough to look forward to all these carry ons after having years of 'may be'.
Since starting Azithromycin three times a week in January, I haven't looked back. Apart from COVID, I have stayed really well - not ONE chest infection this year! Also, I haven't fallen backwards since March and the vertigo SEEMS to have left me at last.
Nine years ago, I thought my life as I knew it was over. Now I have it back and I'm loving it!
I hope that many others are able to enjoy as much improvement in their condition as I have. I'm still not able to walk far or fast, but the scooter deals with that problem! I can breathe again and that's worth millions!!
xx Moy
Busy and shattered!
