My health

I am going through a rough time of it latterly. I broke my ankle in May and after six weeks the plaster came off and i was put in a boot for support. Well now it is killing me. I am sitting here with a bag of peas on it at the moment.

The heat and humidity has been playing havoc with my RA as well. That has been so painful i haven't known where to put myself just latterly. The extremes of the heat crease me up every time.I am sitting here on a glorious day with the curtains pulled shut and sitting on my recliner resting.

On a good note,my son and his wife have moved out and got themselves a little place of their own. They have rented a lovely ground floor flat. It is ideal for their needs. Our house seems quieter and tidier as well. I don't miss my son leaving the toilet seat up all the time. LOL. Hubby has been down the allotment and came back with so much vege we would never be able to eat it all.

So here is a lovely hug for all of you and is anyone is suffering take two hugs.xxxxxx

Hi Sylvi - so sorry you never seem to get any respite from pain. The sun is even out up here now and I have my young niece visiting us so we have a house full of teenagers leaving toilet seats up or locked in the bathroom having hour long showers so there's no hot water left for me or my hubby! Take care and I hope this recovering leg does actually recover properly sometime very soon. Twitchy x

Christine i have spent the afternoon down the hospital with my ankle. It was so swollen and sore. The good news there is no infection in it. I was so close to being admitted into hospital as they had put the wristband for admitting me. It is still sore,but they are giving me some painkillers to pick up tomorrow and they gave me some tramadol to tide me over tonight.xxx

Oh my darling i do hope you get a raise you deserve it as you have worked hard for it. I will be fine darling don't worry my lovely.xxx

Gentle hugs to you Sylvi, this heat is too much !! I am also sat inside, blinds closed, fans on etc. we've also had glut of veggies and fruit, given loads away. We have had pounds of strawberries, I made 6 jars of jam last week. I did not really feel up to doing it but then I remembered how nice it is to open a jar in the middle of winter, cheers me up then, so I made the effort. I expect you are missing your son and his wife, I howled for weeks when our youngest moved out, mind you, I would not have any of my three back now. Funny thing is, I love having our 11 yr old grandson to stay, he makes me laugh and cheers me up no end !!

Hope your ankle gives you some relief soon, hugs, lynda x
