Sorry misty I didn't word that very well πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ ...I was referring to the bit about our own kids my youngest turns 18 next month .I'm ok thank you plodding on picked up some crochet for the first time this year.fatigue and pins and needles have been really bad but seen daughter and grandchildren for first time since Aug .How's the foot ? I hope it's continuing to heal and you are behaving and not over doing it xxxx

misty14β€’ in reply toSpanielmadlady

Haha!. Well worded spanielmadlady and i took you literally!. πŸ˜€Is it your son whose art was so good and you showed us a few weeks ago?. Hope he enjoys his birthday and lovely you've seen other family now after such a long time!. That must have been so special.

Well done with the crocheting as its not easy to do.

Foot has healed really well thanks for asking as ive been very good and obeyed instructions!.

Ive suddenly developed nerve symptoms and pain in the same foot in a different place!. Luckily ive got my op review with surgeon this week so i can ask him!. They did warn me i could develop a neuroma which this could be!. 🀞 they can help it.

Im also waiting for my right leg injection treatment so am in a lot of pain!.

Do have a good week and keep safe. Xx

Thank you spanielmadlady for your lovely reply and good wishes for thursday. The Orthapods said they can 'fix ' this problem if it is a neuroma which i think it is. Its very painful!. Your special birthday present sounds lovely so would be lovely seeing photos of that and your crocheting. It really helps lift us all on forum.

I do hope all your family can visit and you all have a lovely time.

Its fantastic how you learnt crocheting and im glad you find it easier than knitting.

Have a good week. Xx

Thank you cecily, I'm glad it was another hit!. Pain is strong but I'm glad I've got op review at hospital this week. How is your knee?. You must be up to the time by now that they gave you?.

Have a good week lovely. Keep safe. Xx

CecilyParsleyβ€’ in reply tomisty14

I am sorry about the pain. Sad isn’t it that the first thought on waking is what hurts today?πŸ™„. I am a bit concerned about my leg . If I stand for more than 15-20 minutes I get really bad electric shock type pains in my knee. I went out for the first time on Friday other than the hospital and just walking for a few minutes back and fire the loo I seem to have pulled the hamstring again. It is three months next week so I really think I need some help with it to get more mobile. Good luck with your review. Please let me know how you get on xxx

misty14β€’ in reply toCecilyParsley

Hi cecily, that doesn't sound good at all. I agree with you re time for an assessment, but you had to find out how much you can do. Im really sorry lovely. Its so horrid being like this.

Im hoping the hospital ring this week for my right leg injections too. Ive had a really bad pain day today. Trouble is theres no accounting for it!. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Take care and good luck for your appt. Ill let u know how mine goes. XxπŸ₯❀πŸ₯🀞❀

Lovely pic Misty. Weather quite cold here in south of Scotland - had to put the heating on every evening for the last week. But sun is shining this morning with the promise of a good day.🀞 Just about to leave home for our 5 day break in north of Scotland. Packed some so warm clothing just in case. Hope all is well with you Misty. I’ll be in touch once we arrive in Strathpeffer.

Another lovely pic Misty πŸ€— thank u. The look on mother goose face says it all for me!! It reminds me of when my first daughter was born..it was a very long labour (36hrs) n I was off my head on gas n air n pethidine!! When she was delivered she didn't cry..she just sneezed! 😹

When they gave her to me my first thought was OMG she's so tiny...how am I gonna keep her alive? Obviously I knew I was pregnant..we'd decorated the nursery n had all the baby stuff but when she was placed in my arms I just felt overwhelmed!!

Needless to say she did survive n she's now 33!! 😹 I remember celebrating her first birthday with relish..so relieved that I'd got her through the first year!!

Thank you again Misty..you've bought back happy memories!! 🌈😽😽Xx

misty14β€’ in reply toKrazykat26

Im glad krazykat that this week's pic brought back lovely memories for you. It struck me too how attentive mother goose is in the pic and i even thought it c ould maybe could win an award?.

Did you go on to have other lovely gosling's or was one enough?.

Do hope you have a good week krazykat.

Hey lovely . I wish I could help you find that mojo of yours πŸ˜’.. I do know what you mean though πŸ™„. Lovely story about 36 hour labour πŸ˜‚.. I remember watching my niece being born (she’s 16 soon ) .. I’m so glad I watched the birth it’s something I’ll never forget ❀️. You must have been exhausted ?! Sending you a nice healing hug πŸ€— as I’m sure some of the body parts will need it . Take care and be kind to yourself xxx 😻🐴

Aw thank u Tiggy πŸ€— I know it's here somewhere..my mojo that is!! This whole Lupie buisness can be so tiring at times can't it? Maybe I should do a rant post n get it off my chest? πŸ€”How lovely that u got to be present when your niece was born!! I was present at my first grandsons birth too..17yrs ago now..n that was extra special coz I wasn't the one doing the grunting n 'calling the midwife' (my daughter used quite a few sweary words when she was in labour 🀬🀬🀬😹)

Thanks for the πŸ€— much appreciated..πŸ’œn πŸ€—to u too lovely 🌈😽😽xx

You DEFO need to do a rant post angel πŸ‘Ό because a good rant not only makes you feel better but also everyone else who feels the same 😊❀️. Yes it’s all so blooming exhausting and sometimes you just think β€œ can I not just get a break here please πŸ˜”?”

That must of been so special to see your grandson being born and I think it’s something everyone should see as it’s a miracle !

You put a rant on when you’re ready .. have a lovely day and let’s hope something nice happens today . Thank you for replying 🐴🐴😻❀️xxxx πŸ€—

Krazykat26 profile image
Krazykat26β€’ in reply toHorsewhisper

That's sweet of u to say HW πŸ€— thank u πŸ’œI couldn't respond to your recent post either coz of similarities in my own situation..gathering extra diagnosis is not something that should happen to us cutaneous lupies or so I've been led to believe..yet here I am!! Disappointed doesn't even touch it..I don't even really know what I'm feeling right now tbh?!?! πŸ™† Your post resonated with me n I was going to reply with a positive story but I just couldn't get it together..that's when I realised I'd misplaced my mojo..I've not lost it..I know it's here somewhere!!

Am thinking now I'll post a rant n get it off my chest coz this will probably help me move through it n we can have a laugh about it..which always helps, in my case anyway.

Hope that you're ok HW and have settled on the new dose of pred n that you've managed to climb those ladders πŸ˜‰πŸŒˆπŸ˜½πŸ˜½xx

Horsewhisper profile image
Horsewhisperβ€’ in reply toKrazykat26

Dearest KK - lovely to hear from you, and I think, there might be a tiny inkling of mojo present? So glad it is not lost! So sorry to hear about another diagnosis - as tough as we are and so used to dusting ourselves down after picking ourselves up, it doesn’t get any easier does it? I sometimes feel like a palm tree being bent double in a hurricane, I don’t actually fall over but sure do suffer a battering! 🌴 πŸ’¨ β›ˆ

Have a rant if you feel like it and if I can laugh with you in the appropriate places , then hopefully that will help! New dose of Pred has given me a bit of extra energy to climb those ladders, so I am enjoying that, but not the 4 am wakenings! Take care of yourself KK and hopefully hear from you soon horse 🐎 πŸ¦„β­οΈπŸ€—πŸ˜˜πŸ€—

misty14β€’ in reply toHorsewhisper

Hi horse whisper, glad the steroids are helping you find your mojo again!. It's tough as you say we keep getting new stuff to deal with. It's been the story of my long medical journey so I really do understand.

I just wanted to ask are you taking the pred at breakfast time as that's the best time to take them to mitigate the insomnia effects?.

Keep climbing the ladder and you will get to the top. Xx

Horsewhisper profile image
Horsewhisperβ€’ in reply tomisty14

Thanks Misty - yes carrying on clambering, the only way is up after all! I do take Pred in the morning just after brekkie, I think the jump from 9 mg to 15 mg was a little shock to the system and hence the return to early morning wakenings; anything below 12 mg I seem to have a relatively normal night’s sleep - so looking forward to the taper! Thanks for your kind d words as ever bd hope you are doing ok? πŸ˜˜πŸ€—πŸ˜˜

Too warm today for walking far, so we are resting in the cool of the hotel after a walk around a wee Loch this morning and before heading off for a shorter walk this afternoon. That’s good news your new mattress is coming on Thursday. I hope it will encourage good sleep and thus the gathering of the number of spoons you need to put up a post. 🀞 Until then try to keep smiling Doll. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜xxx

Things that help me get my mojo back…..new knickers, a foot massage if you can tolerate it, a rummage in the charity shops, watching Friends, the smell of greenhouse tomatoes, overblown rose petals on the lawn, a nice journal to make notes in, making fairy wands with my grandchildren (any under 7’s will do), sitting quietly in church or your special place, a new lipstick, warm fluffy socks and knowing others care πŸ§¦πŸŒΉπŸ…πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈ πŸ“• πŸ’„ πŸ‘£ β›ͺ️ πŸŽ₯
