Working through the pain....

Well we are having some rum weather aren't we. I have had a busy few days. My son has skyped me and told me he is coming home tomorrow due to his back. He has also said that when his girlfriend can get of and after she has been home to romania to see her family she is coming to stay here with us. Well that posed a bit of a problem as now grace has left home again,we have a empty bedroom. So last friday we went to a place called second chance to see if we can get a bed. In the end we came away with a double bed headboard,two armchairs and unit to put in the bedroom and a table and six chairs. Now there are only the two of us we don't need such a big table. Then this morning having been down here since 5am,i have since put the washing in and the table i have given a good polish and done the bit that goes in the middle as well and got the chairs ready to go as well.

My health hasn't been good, don't know if i put anything in my last blog ,but the nurse at the hospital has put me back on steroids for two weeks as i am in so much pain. I had just got off the damn things as well,which annoys me as well. My fingers are getting worse and my feet and ankles are not too clever either. I have lost a stone in weight and you would think losing some weight would help,but alas not as yet. I think i need a body transplant for a real good body then i would be fine.I can't post photos of the snow on here,but if you look on my f/book page you will see them.

Well all my lovely friends on here i wish you all a lovely snowy day and i hope that the snow has been kind to you. Take care. Sylvia.xxx

Wow Sylvi you have been busy! It sounds as if your son's girlfriend will be thrilled with the room, she's lucky that you've been so thoughtful and resourceful! Im so sorry you're in so much pain still, i wouldn't worry about having to go back on the bloomin steroids, they will help and help to get you more comfortable. Im about to embark on a final sort through before the boys come bk from uni for Easter, it's so hard to not do stuff and try to rest and sometimes you just have to go for it and get stuck in although you pay for it! Best to keep putting this RA in it's place though when we can and not letting it win! I think though that it might be relax time for you this afternoon, gentle hugs xx

Yes it wiill be relaxation time after lunch.The quilts and pillows are down from the loft(no i didn't) and they are being aired as we speak. One of the covers/throws on the chairs is being washed as Grace and her flatmate want these two chairs and when the first one is done the other one will go in the machine too.They will then go in the gareage overnight ready to go to hers tomorrow. You take care.xxx

Well you did well there Sylvia, I love those kind of shops. But hey behave yourself my lovely, the polishing can wait if your feeling rough. Hopefully not long now Sylvia till your a 'biological woman'

I'm a bit jealous of you all at the mo, I love snow but not seen it since we came to Aus lol. I know it can cause probs but I do miss it. The heat and humidity can get a bit appressive at times.

Sending gentle hugs. Love Janet xxx
