Hugs & love Wendells xxxx
longlungs in reply to
Hi Wendells ahh thank-you so much for caring everyone has been great.Dinner was fantastic doing a merry dance on my tastebuds lol!
Yes my Gertie came back a few weeks ago now it was her brakes,they said they had never experienced this before? Well there really is a first time for everything!But shes good to go and I cant wait to get back out there.My Bailey is not to keen on the lead at the min,a few weeks back Iwent over the park with the boys and when it was time to come back he would not budge noway hose.Sothe boys put him between my feet on Gertie and I held his lead so he couldnt just leap off if he fancied,he just leaned into my legs and just chilled quite happily till we got back,so crafty. 
Hows you and hubby doing Wendells what goes on down there in Aussie at the min?
Yes back feels quite good Im not pushing it though,but definitely getting there for sure
Keep well and be happy see you soon. Janexx
Hello Ll,
Now you're talking, I love nothing better than roast beef and Yorkshire puds you lucky person you,lol hope you enjoyed every mouth full. Now for this morning are you going for the full monty breakfast? With fried mushrooms black pudding fried bread crispy smoked bacon, irish sausage, healthy grilled tomatoes, baked beans and a couple of fried eggs!
I am really happy for you and welcome back, the sun is shining here so I'm going to sit in the garden and enjoy my breakfast now.
Take care
SSBD Peter
Hi Peter oh yes indeed I do love my roast and I did enjoy every mouthful,satisfied what I was looking for mmm! Having the full monty for brekkie is generally a weekend thing the only difference is we have tinned chopped tomatoes with an oxo and a spoon of sugar in which is how my dad used to do it mmm!good for fresh bread and butter to mop up with,oh stop it its only tuesday lol.
Do hope youve enjoyed your day the weather has been glorious here to,just to see the sun makes things just a little better all round.Keep well happy days my friend. Janexx
Morning Jane - how great it is to hear you are starting to feel better. Hope dinner was as good as it sounded! Lots of love TAD xx
longlungs in reply to
Hi TAD thank-you im feeling much better coming downstairs has really lifted me.Oh boy dinner was the bees knees,now im craving homemade steak n kidney pudding with mash and greens,will need to buy some kidney first though later in the week .Hope your well yourself Tad ?and hows that hubby of yours doing did I read he was a little under at the mo ?Onwards and upwards eh? Keepwell Janexx
So nice to hear from you again,you had us all worried, that dinner sounds great I am dribbling at the thought, you enjoy, build yourself up, take things slowly, lots love H.xx
Hi Heather how the devil are you?Im not to bad thank-you definitely heading in the right direction now thank goodness.Dinner was sublime do like my meat and two veg so to speak.Yes I too was drooling waiting for it to cook the smells mmm..Cant wait to get out on Gertie it seems like ages now since ive been out.What have you been up to recently?Stay well keep smiling Janexx
Good to hear you are feeling a bit better Jane. Hope you enjoyed your dinner x
longlungs in reply to
Thank-you coughalot yes im on the mend thankfully.Oh boy did I,they were the flavours I was wanting and it went down a treat.A simpler one tonight just spag bol,Ive got back into spaghetti lately did go right off it,Ihave changed recipe a little which is making the difference I think.All good hows you feeling at the moment?Hope your well Janexx
Longlungs, I'm glad you are out of bed.I know how difficult it is as I've spent 3 weeks in hospital and two under surveillance of the hospital to home scheme. I had lovely meals at the hospital, but I'm glad to put things in the oven too.
I read on the internet that turkey steaks contain protein the most - on top of beef or lamb! so I'm on turkey steaks at the moment!
Hi helingmic oh dear you've had a bad trot havnt you,are you getting better a little each day I do hope so.It does take a while doesnt it but we get there in the end by hook or by crook
You cant beat your own flavours can you,turkey is one of the few meats that i dont like,it would be the one thats higher in protein,I believe oh cant think of its name another big big bird thats very healthy and full of protein but have never tried it,is it the Ostrich? not sure.
It is great to be up and downstairs I must say ,feel part of the world again now.Im a little hurty this evening so will now be very careful.Please takecare of yourself helingmic,I love your humour in some of your posts really gets my giggler going.Bless you Janexx
Thank you,Jane 
I eat goat's cheese, but ostrich is not in my back garden!!!!
I have to admit I havnt given goats cheese a fair trial and because I dont know it which one would be good to try?No I have no Ostrich in my garden either Janexx
I mentioned goats' cheese because it is supposed to be better digested for those who cannot tolerate milk. I can tolerate milk, so I drink whole milk all the time. I cannot understand why so many people drink semi skimmed or worse skimmed! Milk is a builder up, of course, it contains fat, but we do need a little!
Yes its whole milk for us to helingmic skimmed milk not like milk at all in my book,but I know someone who doesnt tolerate fat coz of gall bladder problems actually loves the stuff.I dont get halumi cheese it makes my teeth squeak with very little flavour like salted bouncy rubber,my daughter eats pounds of the stuff theres no accounting for taste I guess Janexx
Hi Jayne glad your back hope you enjoy your Sunday lunch so lush I have pins and needles in my fingers so peeling and cutting up veg is difficult end up cutting myself and bleed for hours so I go to a local pub for a lunch they do a mean roast I pile my plate up with veg must look like a right pig. xx
Thank-you kindly onamission its good to be back I must say stuck in bed is no fun.Oooer no dont do any chopping thats not good at all do you have Raynaurds syndrome or trapped nerves ?Well thats handy your local doing a mean roast,they normally give you smallish plates when you can help yourself.Im not a big eater but love my food,cant eat large amounts now coz of tummy squashing the old lungoes but I dont do bad I also have quite a sweet tooth these days aswell.Stay well good to see you Janexx
Hi Jayne I think its a trapped nerve coming from my back the pins and needles also go up the fore arm to the elbow so I'm better off at my local and no washing up. xx
Ohh onamission are the docs doing anything about it?Completely get the local is best and no washing up im all for that. Janexx
When I really do not feel like cooking up the full monty or a real Sunday dinner I take myself off to hospital, their meals are fantastic value for money and are as good as a home cooked meal, and there is a Sunday carvery so I would challenge anybody to eat what you can put on your plate if you want to, you can even go back for seconds of veg', the gravy has chunks of beef in it to. Try it, cheap, clean, usually pretty close to home and convenient and the staff are always helpful and cheerful to.
Mine is James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
It cheered me up to see your positive post LL.So glad you have your appetite
back and things are looking roses again.Onward and upward Jane stay happy("-")D.
Hello FarmerD how lovely of you to say that has made my day thank-you. Yes Im on the up and up and the pain is getting less and less although a tad hurty tonight,I have some chinese oil that my son rubs in for me ,it stinks so we do it in the bathroom and i wear a mask till i cant smell it anymore it feels quite comforting. What about yourself are you keeping well ?Yes onwards and upwards always and keep smiling,again thank-you for your kind words Janexx
I,m ok thanks Jane,trying to think about the practicles of getting about,not wanting to be stuck indoors too much but struggling to get very far.Got my wheelchair last week but it,s all hills here so hard work but I,ll get there.Take care.
Im glad your ok FarmerD but understand your struggle with getting about,I hadnt been out for two years until last June/July I was awarded DLA or PIP as it is now ,I got a mobility scooter which ive fondly named Gertie,my life has transformed I have my independance again and have had a lot of fun along the way,I got mine through the motability scheme so there is nothing I need worry about.Would it be possible for you to get one at all? Janexx
A good appetite is a sign you are really on the up. Take care not to rush things xx
Hi Suzy hows you doing? Yes im back on the munch,theres not alot that takes my appetite I love food.Many many years ago I lost control of my life and became anorexic which gave me control so I thought but im pleased to say it only lasted a year I was young and daft and food won the day Im looking forward to some good days ahead we are just about through the worst of the cold now /I reckon and hope,gonna get some planting done this year I just love to pick my own veggies etc gives me a real buzz.Be happy stay well now Janexx
Doing OK thanks Jane. Bit tired tonight but health wise holding my own. Only had one infection in a year. I like eating home grown veg, but sadly not a gardener. Flowers only for me. I'm a lazy gardener. Hope you're right on the weather. Stay safe take care xx
How good is that Suzy hope you were laying across some wood when you said that
Im a fair weather gardener always have been regardless of lungs,also my youngest boy paved my whole garden about 7 years ago pre empting me not being able to dig and mow lawns and the boys being off and away,so I have pots of all sizes,infact the year before last I counted my pots coz I seemed forever buying soil,I had eighty something pots can you believe stupid woman Iam! so I have cut down now see you soon Janexx
That's great your appetite is on the increase jane , good sign your on the mend, also very courageous of you to say you struggled with anorexia , that was quite an achievement getting to grips with, I had a rather nice salmon pasta tonight and salad, I'm trying to get to grips with my eating , as I've lost grip if my tummy ! So glad your feeling better jane x x x
Oh medow that sounds very nice I think I would like that too very much infact.Yes I was pretty barking and bonkers for a while depression can be powerful .Ive learned an awful lot since then and dont twitch to much either lol.Im feeling fairly chipper I have to say thank-you medow and glad to be back on here again with friends.Goodluck with your eating plan,the tummy is where i carry my weight.Are we ever happy with ourselves nah theres always something.Keepwell and be happy im sensing your a bit flat at the mo? Janexx
Tad late here with my reply been a biz of late ...but glad to hear your on the up an tucking back into all your fav foods ....best wishes Wes
Hi Jane. HOW WONDERFUL to hear from you again, was a little worried where you had got too after such a long time. SO SORRY to hear you have not been well , was a little off myself last week with a flaire up, Antibiotics and sterioids for the last week or so, seems to have helped. I think about you often. You was the first person I spoke to on the site when I first Health Unlocked. So I suppose your a bit like a first girlfriend that one never forgets At that timeYou was trying to kick the habbit remember ??
I do I do almost 9months now would you believe.Im fine lungs are good at the min have been hit with a bit of depression but I think Im through the worst of it now.Have been doing decorating etc a bit at a time well the boys really I supervise its so frustrating when you cant do the job yourself anymore,never mind we will get there.Sorry to hear that you've not been well yourself do hope your meds have seen the infection off and your now feeling better?Its really nice to hear from you Malk didnt know I was your first you keep well now see you soon Janexx
