Three weeks and counting.......

[sylvi]

Good morning everyone on a wet and windy Sunday morning. Well what a few days i have had and i don't really know where to start. Well i know minced beef doesn't agree with me. I know my fibro is still there giving me trouble,i get awfully exhausted still,but i am a work in progress so i might be able to get a hang on this awful disease yet. My ra in my fingers are still sore. Otherwise regarding the op i am still losing weight and the scars are healing nicely. Another week and i go into the third stage of my recovery which means i can eat some normal food,not sure what yet as i haven't got there.

Friday night i had to call an ambulance to my hubby as he had pains in his chest that resembled a heart attack. While all this was going on he had a panic attack as well,so i went down the hospital in the ambulance with him. Our son came from work to be with me and to drive us home. It turns out that the hiatus hernia was causing the pain round his heart. The doctor finally convinced my hubby that his heart was fine and it was this hernia that was causing all his problems thank goodness. We didn't get home until nearly 10pm so it was bath and bed for us both.

Saturday and we both slept fairly well and hubby went down the allotment. I got my big scooter out and went to get some milk with the intention of going down the allotment to see if he was alright. Didn't happen as i got to the store and got the milk i found i had a puncture. so had to ring him to come and help me. While waiting for him i thought i would go into one of the charity shops we have in the village. I enquired about a price of a xmas tree on the table and got told it wasn't for sale,whereby i said you should have a not for sale sign on it, and i got some verbal of the man in there and i told him stuff this and started to walk out where he told me.... wait for it...... i was barred from coming in the shop again. I told him to """" off and stormed out and went and sat down to wait for hubby. He came and took me home and went back to inflate it and got my daughter to bring it home so he could fix it. When i got home i just burst out crying from the stress of it all that morning and from last night as i was so worried about my hubby. I have to laugh do you know anyone who has ever been barred from a charity shop.........

Hugs to you all.xxxxxx

I would have paid five pounds for that tree as it was a wind up one,but i have caused a stir when i pout it on my f/book page a friend of mine was so cross she shared it because someone from that shop stole her decoration from her front door last year and had the nerve to put it on her own front door,and then some one else shared it as well. Some charity shops don't deserve to be open if they treat their customers like that.xxxxx

[Deejojo in reply to sylvi]

No they don't Hun it's disgusting xx

Sorry you have been having such a stressful few days @Sylvi

But you made me chuckle about getting kicked out of a charity shop!

What sort of charity would do that?

😉 🌹 😃

Sylvi, you've made our morning, my other half and I are in stitches laughing about your charity shop adventure! So funny (well not for you at the time) being banned from a charity shop - you couldn't make it up, what a horrible man.

Sylvi, do you realise you have a WAIST in your latest photo!!!!!!! Lucky you.

Don't think the damp horrible weather does much for our creaky bodies, I know it's supposed the mild but it's damp as well.

[sylvi in reply to Fruitandnutcase]

I am glad i made you all laugh,i must admit it makes me chuckle now. All the times i went into a pub underage and never got kicked out and at 60yrs old i get barred from a charity shop.

Its not much of a waist yet,but thank you for noticing.xx

[nomoreheels]

I can see the headlines "Incredible shrinking woman barred from charity shop". Honestly, they don't deserve your custom do they?!

I hope you're feeling a bit better now, your h too. You did the right thing getting it checked out, must have been frightening for you at the time.x

[sylvi in reply to nomoreheels]

It was and i sat doing a wordsearch with my son so as hubby didn't see how worried i was. i think that was why i broke down and cried yesterday morning when we got home.xxxxx

PS. love the headline you posted darling.xxx

[Fruitandnutcase]

Just had a thought - hope the charity shop wasn't Age Concern or Help the Aged😉

[sylvi in reply to Fruitandnutcase]

No it was "global care" charity shop. The ladies in age concern wouldn't treat people like that and they would have a sign if it was not for sale.xxx

[cathie]

That sounds like quite a nightmare! I'm glad you're so active though.

Good morning my variegated rebel friend! Barred from a charity store! (giggling) Sounds like you've had a hell of a day. That 'work in progress' piece doesn't always come easily, does it? Some part of me is still waiting for the magic word that makes it all as it should be, or the magic eraser that will just delete the bits that I don't want. Ah well, at least we're in it together, yes? xxx

Bats

[sylvi in reply to Azabat]

Bats darling from one rebel to another we are in this fight togather gal.xxxx

[lainee]

Sorry for your stress xx and hubby having bad time but Sylv the last bit made me laugh out loud so thanks for that xxx

[girlmode]

hi sylvi

I voluntary worked each Saturday afternoon in a local charity shop and I would like to apologise for the terrible way you were treated. there is no excuse for such service even in charity shops the customer must be treated with respect.

concerning being barred im sure a senior worker will over rule this but you probably wont want to shop there again anyway.

on a lighter note a story to tell the grandchildren when they are older having such a rebel grandma.

best wishes to you and hubby

[Tinat3]

Sorry Sylvi but your story about the charity shop did make me laugh!

No I've never known anyone barred from a charity shop lol! It just goes to show though with our conditions, when we're tired, in pain and stressed how it all comes to a sudden head and out it all comes in various forms.

I hope that you are having a better day today and thank god you're husband is ok. Big hugs to you both xxx

[carotopgal]

I know that was so scary about your husband. And it's only natural to have a melt down after something like that! I can't believe the shop keeper was so rude to you!! You are right, if it isn't for sale, put a sign on it. How hard is that to do?? Your nerves are just on edge from everything that has gone on lately, and sometimes a good cry is what is needed. But on a happier note, I'm so glad that you are still losing. You've done so wonderfully through all of this! Be gentle with yourself and here's a big hug from me!

[sylvi in reply to carotopgal]

Thank you darling, i am laughing about it now,all the time i used to drink and go into pubs underage i was never banned, Not many people you know have been banned from a charity shop. Something to share with your friends when you need a laugh darling.xxxxx

[GingerNinja72]

Just read your post Sylvi, you sound just like my mum although she hasn't actually been banned from any charity shops yet...well none she's admitted to haha. Hope all is well with you today, thanks for making me smile x

[sylvi in reply to GingerNinja72]

I am happy to have amde you laugh darling.xxxxx
