Well the new year is here and nothing has changed. This morning i had to rush hubby to the doctors as his Hiatus Hernia was playing up and we got him sorted out. Then i walked round town as we needed a few things. Headed back to the car and could hardly walk so hubby took over the driving and drove me home,bless him. Since being home i have boxed up some Christmas lights ready to go back in the loft,but i don't have the energy to do anything. I wanted to polish the lounge after the decorations were taken down,but i couldn't do it. So i am sitting here resting again,my feet are red hot and my right shoulder is sore as well as my fingers on the right hand. Last week i had a mega meltdown and i sobbed and sobbed until there were no tears left in me. It certainly helped me though i felt very drained for the rest of the day. I have felt brighter since then,but there were a few tears this afternoon as i felt so down and sore and frustrated. My hubby hasn't been well and i can't help him in any way. I hate what these illnesses do to me.
I am not too bad though and i wish you a painfree week. xxxxx

Hi Sylvi, Give yourself some time off from jobs today, maybe you might just feel bit more up to things tomorrow!! Sorry hubby is poorly, hope he's getting a rest also. I have been feeling very down lately, what with the terrible weather, illness of hubby and myself suffering such pain. So we decided to get in car and drive over to daughters about 10 miles away. We had a lovely day with her and our grandson, who goes back to school tomorrow. It cheered me up no end and grandson coming to stay overnight Friday, which is usually good fun. He wants to make bread this weekend, I have told him I can't do the kneading, my hands too bad, he says he will take care of that!! Should be interesting and probably very messy.
Our daughter is getting married again this year, got engaged last week, so it gives me something to look forward to.
Hope you have a relaxing evening and you and hubby feel better soon, lynda xx
Oh I am so sorry to hear all this..I enjoy all your Facebook stuff..yes, this is a nasty complaint but the more I read on here the luckier I feel...so many are worse than I. I'm sending you lots of warm wishes and hopes that you find some respite soon. Maryx
Hi Sylvie, yes I know where you're coming from re: red hot feet...I get that at night when they feel so inflamed and burning.....!
It does help though to get it out of your system sometimes....I hope you are feeling OK now....housework chores can wait....I do a little job each day now rather than kill myself with one big blitz....I hate it though when I see jobs that need doing but I just have to tell myself "pace yourself girl"!
Hi Sylvia just to say thinking of you...I always think a good bubble as I would say...helps for some reason...these days I can cry when close family even ask how I am...we have a lot to put up with...hope you and hubby have a better day tomm...sending you big hugs Nicola xxx
Yes i know he is brilliant,but nothing will get done this morning as i have a doctors appointment this morning so that is this morning written off. Also i have been down here half the night as well so i will probally have a sleep this afternoon too.xxx
I thought you had been quiet on the Western Front! Sorry to hear Bob's illness has flared up again. It's tough when they are bad as well, makes you feel helpless as they are always there for us. Now both of you take it easy for the next couple of days. Remember the fable of the Hare and Tortoise, the tortoise always wins! Sending big hugs xxx
Happy new year my darling,And it is lovely to hear from you.Hubby has been pretty bad and he is recovering and you know what its like with hiatus hernias they take their time in settling down. I have been to the drs this morning about my medication being upped and no the dr hasn't got the letter from the hospital yet would you believe. I saw the consultant on the 18th december and the letter still hasn't got to the drs.You would think with computers it would have been there in a matter of hours,but no its not. Now my rant is over hope your both well ? xxxx
If they get sent to India like ours do for typing then it's any wonder! Hubby has had a cough and cold since Boxing Day, will be returning to work tomorrow. Me am ok at present. xxx
Happy New Year to you and your hubby Silvi. I really hope things get better for you both. It's always a good thing to open the taps and have a good cry, I do it sometimes too and apart from having a red face and squinty eyes afterwards I always feel a whole lot better for it.
I must tell you a little story which lifted my heart and soul the other day : We had some workman outside our bungalow the other day digging a great hole in the road so that a fractured water pipe could be mended. The boss man knocked at our door to ask if my husband would be going off to dialysis that day, (he had been pre-warned). I was having a bad day my self and was struggling to walk, which he obviously noticed.
Later on in the day I came home from doing a bit of shopping and had to park some way down the road and hobble home on my sticks. This boss man chappy stopped me and said " I'll never moan about having a cold or some trivial thing ever again, and he continued by saying, you and your husband have got so much to complain about and yet you are both cheerful". I said to him, "just enjoy your own good health for as long as you can because no one really knows what's around the corner". He said "I certainly will do just that from today onwards". It's uplifting when someone notices your struggles and pays you a compliment. What a nice man
