Yippee i am starting to feel brighter fingers crossed. I have walked round the close and the fresh feels great after being indoors for nearly all of the last month. I just hope and pray this lasts as i have been so fed up of feeling so ill. I am going out for an hour this morning to get a joint for Sunday lunch and when hubby picks me up i will rest for the rest of the day and i hope this is a new begining for me.xxxxxxx

Thank you Gigi71

Have rung chemist dressings are in todays delivery but they havent had time to unpack them yet-- gggrrrhh and she then told me the pharmacy was shut betweeni 1 and 2 for lunch..

So the earliest I could get my hands on these is 2 o'clock,and by the time we redo the dressings it will be 3 oclock,and wont have left the house by then so we wil will leave it until sunday now.Cant go tomorrow as husband is away tomorrow .Plans creaking at the seams I am afraid but we will go to the local pub for late tea so will have salvaged something .

Havent Started the biologics yet,Rheumy nurse rang to say funding had been agreed so thanks for reminding me I may just give her a ring to see where we are up to.

Thank you again for birthday wishes.

Enjoy your day anyway. Make it a Birthday weekend. ! Just took my neighbour for lunch, have kept away from her with this cold, as she is having chemo, thought I was much better, nosed blocked and kept coughing. Fingers crossed I am over the infectious stage. Will worry now for her. Good luck with the biologic's. Happy Birthday to you, squashed tomatoes and stew, bread and butter in the gutter, happy birthday to you.!!!!!xx 😘

Good news Silvi. Don't overdo it though, takes a lot out of you. I too am over my cold, the cough is taking longer. My doctor said could be a month or so. Enjoy your Sunday lunch. Hugs G. X

Good on you @sylvi for finally escaping and getting some much needed fresh air - although doing too much without realising is so easy to do,so please just stay in your jammies and do nothing for the rest of the day - you've earned it!!

I'm very lucky in that my parents are only one street away,and about 20 seconds in a car,so on the days that I feel rough,but not too rough to do that short drive then I'm out the door and off to mum's 😊 It may not seem like much,but just the action of having a quick wash and getting dressed into 'normal' clothes makes all the difference in the world when you've been locked away from the outside world for what seems like an eternity!! Although,I have been known to just throw a coat on over my jammies and put trainers on for driving in too.... it all depends on how I feel on that particular day,and how badly I'm craving company. Most of the time I usually just watch the dogs play together for an hour,or give her cats a cuddle instead of my own,but just that teeny bit of change has huge,positive effects for me - unless you've been through it you just can't explain to someone how great it feels.

Take care of yourself,but good to know you're on the mend xx

So pleased you are feeling better. I have also been unwell but mine very quickly turned to chest infection so 30mg steroids and very strong antibiotics seem to be doing the trick. Have yet to go out or to walk my little dog so a lovely neighbor has been doing that for me. I am hoping to be well enough to keep my hospital appointment next Tuesday to see when and what surgery is happening. Have a lovely weekend xx
