Sorry 'cutie pics' missed last week but i needed a break. Hopefully, its back with a bang with this grey seal pup on a nature reserve in Lincolnshire.
Between November and December the adults return to give birth and this year there were 968 fluffy new arrivals like this one. I do hope you agree they are cute!. I love seal pups as i love their faces.
With the news and weather being so difficult i thought we could all do with a good news story like this.
Keep warm, safe and well.

P.s, got my much needed podiatry tel appt on monday and found out im 3rd on waiting list for Endo appt so wouldnt be too long. π€. Many thanx for all your support, its much appreciated. X

That is soooo cute π₯° π¦ Baby seals are adorable.
No need to apologise for missing last week. If you need a break then you should take one. So glad that you had your podiatry phone consultation and are only 3rd on the list. Fingers crossed you will be seen really soon π€π»
I had my pelvic x-ray done on Tuesday. Results will take at least two weeks π Still suffering from really bad hip pain. My GP has prescribed Lidocaine pain patches and also medication for the ulcers I am getting. Hopefully everything will help what itβs meant too!
Stay safe and hope you have a good week Xx π¦ πͺ¨
Thanx ge for your lovely message. Im glad you've had your hips xrayed as your in such a lot of pain. π€for the results. Any questions you may have re the lidocaine pain patches please ask as i use them regularly. They have helped my leg nerve pain so i hope they help you.
Ive got my podiatry appt tomorrow( mon). Ive got adrenal insufficiency so im waiting for an endocrinology appt to come thru. Shouldnt be too long as 3rd on waiting list and its an expanding dept.
I will update next week and glad you will get your results before xmas. Take care. Xxβ€πβ€π€
Glad you liked him dianne, its the eyes that get me too!. Its lovely thinking of all those pups!. Thanx so much for your lovely messages. You got onto those cards quickly as they arrived. So glad they did as you'd paid for them.
π€for strictly results. I will be in touch during the week.
Take care and i hope you feel better this week. Big hugs. β€πβ€π€πβ€ππ
Hi Misty I also love the little pups faces, they remind me of my sons little French bulldog . Iβm so glad your 3rd on the waiting list so hopefully very soon you will be seen, Iβm also glad your feeling abit better this week - lots of love π
Thank you so much svfarmer for your lovely messages of support. Im so pleased you liked the seals. Its their eyes that get me too. They're so adorable. Lovely reminder of your son's dog. Im pleased im talking to podiatry tomorrow too.
Do hope you have a good week. Its starting to get busier with xmas rush!. Hope Bea and Mira are doing well. Xxπ€β€πΆπ€Xx
Beautiful. The baby seals are so adorable. I hope that your week off helped you Misty? Great news about the Podiatry and Endo appointments. You need help bless you.Please let us know how you get on Monday. Xxx
Many thanx cecily for your good wishes and supportive mesdage. Yes i did feel better for a break, caught up on other messages. Its a busy time of year. Hope you enjoyed Strictly and π€for the results tonight. Such an emotional show!.
How is your knee doing?. Do take care and ill update next sat. Keep safe. Xxβ€π€π€β€π€
Oh yes I loved, loved, loved Strictly. Best semi final ever. John and Jo Jo made me cry but Rose and Gio βs Argentine Tango gave me goosebumps. Omg it was amazing. Who do you think will leave? So gutted for anyone who does leave. Personally I think it will be Rhys. AJβs dress was fabulous. I could not have enjoyed it more.No falls this week which is a bonus xxx
I agree with you cecily re Rhys this week!. It was the highest scored semi ever i think . Im keeping π€ for rose and gio tonight. Well done no falls. Xx
Thanx so much pumpkin for your lovely message. So pleased you liked the seals.
I don't feel very well at the mo because ive just had my flu jab and its bringing out a lot of adrenal symptoms . Hopefully it will improve but ive got to be so careful.
Then last nights message about vaccinating the nation has dampened my spirits re having appt's in Jan. Trouble is we just don't know what will happen over Xmas?.
Hopefully my podiatry appt tonight will be positive.
Sending healing hugs to your foot. Have a good, safe week. Xxπ€β€π€
Lovely pic Misty π€and a wonderful story!! Who'd have thought that all this has happened in Lincolnshire!! Amazing!! I hope that endo see you as soon as possible..π€you're being prioritised. ππ½π½Xx
Thanx so much krazykat for your lovely wishes. Hope you get another dermy appt soon too. Its awful waiting when in need isnt it?. π€Yes, its lovely thinking about all the new life tha5s happening around us. Helps us thru the tough parts i hope.
Keep safe and i hope you have a good week. Xxπ€β€π€π€
Hi misty, another beautiful creature, those eyes would break your heart β€οΈ Good luck tomorrow, i hope you make some progress ππΌππΌππΌππΌππΌ
Im just watch results on strictly, Saturday was AMAZING, Iβve never seen the judges so excited π. Rose was wonderful yet again, what a tango !!! I was watching it by myself and i was clapping and cheering at the end π€£π€£.
Take care , will be thinking about you for tomorrow, best wishes xxxxxxππΌππΌπ₯°π€π€ππβοΈπ
Thanx weathervane for your lovelymessage and for thinking of me. Your very kind.
I LOVED Strictly on Sat, rose and gio's dances were so worthy of the final weren't they ?. Also, though they've never had so many 10's given out in the Semi's so they were all so close. Its a shame Rhys went but id have said that whoever it was. A.j did step up better. Can't wait for Final , what a treat in store!. Sad its ending though!. πͺ.
My podiatry appt was a bit of reality about my foot. The steroid injection should have lasted longer 6-12 months ideally. He can't do another for 2 months at least and wondered about a steroid guided one from surgeon. Theres also an op but thats way in future because of wait!. He's writing to my pain consultant instead as she said my leg injections might help my foot as its all nerve.
Funnily enough i rang them earlier yesterday and im on the list provisionally for 14th Feb for leg. Don't think she can do both together, don't really know. Shes not really around till Jan now anyway and we just don't know about appts with this variant and mass vaccination now do we?. I was thinking of your Retuximab.
Hope you have a safe and happy week and ill think of you dancing up and down on Sat . I bet it will be so emotional. I will cry if rose and gio win. Xxβ€πβ€π€π
Thats awful you have to wait so long for another steroid injection π. Ive had guided injections in my hip and spine and they did work well as more targeted. The 14thof February is a long way away, π€π»you might get a cancellation. Its hard to know what way hospital appointments are going to be with the rising numbers, its so worrying!!
Strictly is the only ray of light at the moment, roll on Saturday, I canβt wait!!!
Thanx weathervane for your lovely message. Its all change with my pain appt's now. Ive been pushed out to march thru a misunderstanding but have secured a tel appt with my pain consultant in jan 21st to talk about treating leg and foot. Don't know if they can be done together!. She will have had podiatry letter by then!.
Its something to hang onto and is more likely to happen as long as she doesnt get covid seriously!. Its really scary now whats happening isnt it?. Troubke is we just don't know what appts will go ahead or not and its very wearing isnt it?. Bet your worried about getting retuximab end dec?. We're rationing watching the news and what we do. I expect you both are too.
I too have had those guided steroid injections into hips very successfully but i chose not to pursue that because of my steroid risks due to adrenal problem. I need that appt now. At least ive got options of treatment for the future if needed.
I can't wait for Strictly either , it will be such a joy hopefully and emotional. I may well vote for 1st time because i want rose and gio to win!. Do you vote?. If they do win there won't be a dry eye in the ballroom or our lounge!. Ha!. π
Take extra care weathervane and keep safe. I shall think of you watching Strictly. π€. Best wishes. Xxπ€β€ππ€πβ€π€ππβ€π€ππ
Mum, although looking so tired, has eyes stuck on her baby. All so happy.Lovely cute picture Misty. All the best with pod. appt tomorrow, and with endo. appt.ππ
Thanx caracara for your lovely message and good wishes. So glad you liked the pic. I haven't lost my touch for them, then. π
I don't feel so confident about getting appt's now because of the bojo message last night. Hopefully be ok for podiatry one later. It doesnt help us waiting and wondering and we've had to do it for a long time now.
Thanx so much for your lovely message. So glad you love the pics. Do post your cutest christmas card. Lovely idea. We could all join in and cheer us all up.
Podiatry was a reality phone call tonight but im getting lots of offers of help for this dastardly foot. Will keep you all posted.
Hope things look up for your foot and you do get useful help. Let us know how things go. It is a lonely business just having phone appointments and nobody actually examining..
I had GP catch up just now on phone re: repeat bloods that I had privately, because surgery could not do....sometimes reality does not match what makes sense, and I just end up feeling lost, and like I'm on another planet...
Glad you liked it olderkitten. You might like my christmas pic coming soon. How is your foot now after your op?. Recovered well i hope. Keep safe and well. Xxβ€πβ€
Hi Misty14, my foot surgery didn't go well and I ended up having a second surgery called revision which (fingers crossed) so far so good. The first one ended up with broken screw and bone, very painful so with second surgery Dr removed the 2 screws and put a plate and 2 smaller screws in different place for support and it's better as far as pain goes but always swollen and I have to keep the boot on except for showering and use a walker to keep as much pressure off of it as possible when walking and elevated when sitting. I've been sitting way too long as my butt hurts so using different pillows to help. My cat loves that I sit in recliner with blanket and pillows and feet up it makes for a very cozy napping spot, she gets annoyed when I need to get up...it's very disturbing to her. We finally have a cold rainy day and a reason to use the fireplace so both of girls are in front in their beds enjoying it. My dog is chihuahua and rat terrier mix that we adopted from the pound 14 years ago, she's so cute and spoiled, her name is Lucy and my cat was found outside by my son Ray who decided he needed to rescue her, she was a tough little one who wanted no part of people, he kept her in a room with food and water and the dreaded litter box and figured she'd come around sooner or later and she did but when he had to take her to be spayed she sprayed him π so he showered and tried again and she sprayed him again π so he went just the way he was all stinky and after all of that he thought I should have her...I didn't want another one as I just lost my Bailey girl to cancer but there she was. It took a while for both of us to warm up to each other but we did. My son named her after his favorite football team's mascot, Penn State college Nittany Lions, I really didn't like it but...the veterinarian loved it because it was different so Nittany it is. Sorry for going on so long. Thank you for asking about my surgery. I hope your feeling well and getting the help you need and of course trying to safe from the omicron Corona virus that won't stop. Take care π
Im so sorry your foot surgery went so wrong and you had to have a revision olderkitten. You must be so fed up with it but im glad it seems better now. Long may that continue.
Its lovely reading stories like this and how you and your husband have developed this special bond now with your rescue dog nittany. Takes a long time doesnt it but so special that you both persevered with him. ?.
I bet over the years your husband has brought home some interesting animals being a vet.
Ive still got my trapped nerve in my foot after my surgery so im hoping for help from the pain clinic in jan with it. It is a nightmare for us being so curtailed, can you walk on yours yet?.
I can but not far and then i really feel it. Do hope you have a happy, safe, painfree christmas as possible olderkitten and all the best for a good recovery in 2022. Xxπβ€π€π
Many thanx stiff for your lovely message. Glad you liked the seal. I think you might like my christmas one this weekend. Merry xmas and hopefully a safer , healthier year for you all too. Xxπ€β€π€
