Hahaha,it's harder than you think until you get used to it.

You'll be okay.

I know it's hard when you're stuck in the house all the time,especially when you're in pain. You get depressed and tired,don't want to bother with anything.

How old are your Children. I know that you said you only have contact with 1. You said That it's either her way or no way. That's not much good for your self esteem.

Try and think Positive. Things will get better for you. It all takes time, just wait until you feel confident on your Scooter and you'll be zooming along. But Take Care and Stay Safe. 😊👍💜🌈 💚

Hey that Scooter is your Freedom.

If you bumped into your Daughter while you were on your Scooter,she should be proud of you for trying to get your independence back, not ashamed of you.

Don't zoom away,be proud of how you're trying to get your life back together.

She should be ashamed of herself for not bothering to get back to you.

I know it's easier said than done,but I wouldn't even bother to WhatsApp her. Treat her the same as she is treating you. That's what I would do anyway. But it's up to you really.

I'm so sorry that your Family have made Life difficult for you.

Have you got any Friends that could come and visit you. Safe Distances of course,until all this Virus business have been sorted out.

Gotta go Pat ,pain is getting really bad. Gotta take my medication.

Take Care and look after yourself.

Glo.xx 🤗 💜🌈 💚.

Hi

How are you feeling tonight?

I've been reading your posts to Glo and I do really feel for you. I'm so sorry you you have not spoken to anyone. You can pm me anytime you like day or night, I only have an hour or less sleep per night due to pain. So as you can see I would hear my phone. Where do you live if you don't mind me asking? All my love Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗🌈💜

Nanasboys in reply to Hidden3 years ago

Hiya Pat, sorry I couldn't answer you straight away. I've been in a hell of a lot of pain.

Nope, i don't mind you speaking to me again at all. We are all here to help each other. One day I might just be asking you for your advice.

Hey that's good news,your Neighbour's Daughter giving you a haircut. Feels like you're in 7th Heaven now does it.

Someone to talk to and having a haircut. I understand about the pain in your back from having to sit on your Walker .

When i was younger i had Long Hair and used to do it in all different styles. But as i got Older I started to go shorter and shorter. Now I'll have a No 3 blade. My hair at the moment is shoulder length, because I haven't been able to sit long enough for my Hubby to cut ( or shave ) it for me.

But it's driving me nuts now,so im just gonna have to grin and bear it.

I get really depressed about not being able to do the things I used to do and being stuck in the house all the time except for Hospital or Doctors visits.

Until 9 years ago I was very active.

My Hubby and I have retired now.

We have 3 Wonderful,Loving Sons.

I Loved Travelling, even been to Graceland's with a Friend of mine.

My Hubby wouldn't go with me because the year before I went to Graceland's we went to Florida with one of our Sons and his Wife. Of course it was a long Flight. My Hubby said he'd never go on a flight as long as that again. So that's why I went with my Friend. It was absolutely amazing. We had a

Wonderful Time.

I remember one holiday my Hubby and I had in Morocco. We were going on a Short Safari. But I fell off the bloody Camel 🐪🐫 and ended up in hospital. I dislocated my fingers and

injured the bottom of my Spine.

I can remember telling my Hubby,

DON'T let them put me to sleep..

We had the interpreter with us and I ended up having to be sorted out by having a Local Anaesthetic. Good job we were nearly at the end of our holiday. I couldn't go in the water, or do any kind of activity after that.

I used to make Wedding Cakes. I made our Sons Wedding Cakes,then started to make them and got paid for them. I miss doing that. 💦💦💦

I got interested in gardening. Then started to enter Garden Competions ( and won some ).I eventually started to go around with the Judges and had Lunch in the Mayor's Parlour..I became Trustee of the Bettws in Bloom community Building. Went to Dumfries with the Mayor and another 2 of the Committee Trustees.

When we were in the presentation room in the building in Dumfries.

The Lights dimmed ,The curtains went back and the Camera rolled.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing on the screen,but I just shouted out.

( Oh Shit, that's my garden )

The first picture on the screen was one of my garden,with one of the Irish judges posing, by one of my hanging baskets. I had a photo at home of the same picture,but i didn't know that it was going to be shown here. Everyone went very quiet when I swore. I felt like crawling under the table..But then everyone started to clap and congratulate me.

PHEW. It was absolutely brilliant.

I miss all of this so much. I have a cry most days,especially in the Winter.

The Summer is not so bad.

The pain is with me every day, I was going in hospital for Abdominal Surgery just before this horrendous Coronavirus kicked off. But it had to be postponed until the Virus have eased up. I hope that it doesn't take too long before it's gone.

But I think that it's gonna be with us for a while yet. I think that it's gonna be a long haul. Hahaha .

Like this message to you Pat .

Take Care and look after yourself.

Feel free to speak to any of us anytime. Glo.xx 😊🌈🌞🌹🌈🌞

I think we are so alike but living with pain is not a good thing it takes over your life they have decided to put me on liquid morphine and 12 hrs relish tablets they last about 8 and they only take the edge off what I would give to have 1 pain free day do you even having your husband to take you out I bet you think should I because you know how much pain you are going to be in where I live is 22 little flats and I live on the ground floor 1 and the man above me well enough said we share a small area I've tried to make it nice and bought some really nice pots but couldn't manage the flowers so bought silk ones to make it look nice I like to see nice gardens they always seem to make me smile to neighbours have made theirs really nice when all this stupid thing is over I don't care about the pain I'm going to try and make it look nicer because I can see what I have done out of my kitchen window I don't have any happy memories about holidays when I was married but when I got devoured I went on a Thomson cruise and I loved it and their ships are not posh which is a good thing because I'm not posh what do you do most days

Good Morning Pat, I'm sorry I had to finish my last message abruptly,i had to charge my phone up.

I've been up for hours as well,but my head and body are still asleep due to sleeping tablets. Im only small as well, I'm 4ft 11ins and weight

7st 7lb. I only weighed 6 st when I came home from hospital.

Yes I got what I wanted from Ford's, along with a few extra bruises. 🤗

We got a Ford Transit Tourinio Connect. It's a dark blue but when you look at it in different lighting there's a sort of sparkle in it.

It's really lovely,nice and big. We can get my wheelchair, 3 wheeler trolley and my electric Scooter in there and still have plenty of room.

No I'm not Posh, but I do like nice things What I have to say i just come out and say it. But without being offensive to anyone.

I spend the 1st few hours after getting up laying on the settee. Then I have a bath to try to loosen my leg muscles up. Even having a bath is painful. Then when the weather is nice my Hubby usually puts the Lounger out on the Patio for me under the Gazebo, in the Shade.

Then if i can, i try to have a go at putting my plants in the Pots.

My Hubby sometimes helps me down to the Greenhouse,because I've got a lot of young plug plants down there that has to be watered.

My Hubby tends to over water everything. He haven't got a clue about plants or gardening. But he does his best, Love Him.

I take a lot of tablets. I don't like it,but i have to because of so many numerous health problems

Hahaha,I've done it again. I touched the Reply Button before I had finished messageing you. 🤔

Im always doing it. 😉.

Yes i take a lot of medication.

Have already taken 12 tablets this morning. Ill be taking another 4 at 1pm , then another 6 at 5 pm.

Before I go to bed i take another 6 tablets. I also use an Anora when I get up in the morning, it helps me to breathe easier. I also use a Nebulizer and i use Ventolin. I use my Trinitrate Spray under my tongue when I get bad chest pains The Spray does help the chest pains,but it gives me a Mega headache.

I won't use Oramorphe because it doesn't help my pain. It just makes me feel so giddy and sick.

Yes Pat,PM messages are private.

Only you and the Person that you are talking to can see it, nobody else.

Gotta go now. I am so stiff.

Message me whenever you like,

especially when your Scooter arrives. Hahaha.

Just think. If we lived we could go out on our Scooters together.

Oh Heaven Forbid.🙏 Can you imagine that. 🚦🚑.

Gjkas in reply to Hidden3 years ago

Hahaha,i know Lynne. We're both accident prone..I know that you had a laugh about me on my Scooter.

John and our Karl couldn't help me when I hit the door. They were both too busy crying laughing. HUH.

I just told Pat something else that happened to me when I was on holiday with John in Morocco.

Youll probably have a laugh about it.

I fell off a b....y Camel 🐪 and ended up in hospital for a day. Had Discolated Fingers and injured the bottom of my Spine. I kept saying to John ( Don't let them put me to sleep ).🛌But they sorted my fingers out with a Local Anaesthetic.

There's so many things that I could tell you about.

You know the big High rise hotel's that they have in America, where you can see the lifts from the outside of the building. Well i got stuck in one of them, when I was in Memphis with my Friend. I was on my own when it got stuck. Oh talk about Panic. I was practically hysterical by the time they got me out. Although it was only a few minutes. To me it was like eternity.

Then when we were in Turkey I was in the water and a huge wave came and took the top of my bikini. But as if that wasn't enough, another big wave came and took the bottom 👙as well. My bikini had ties at each side.

B.Thut I only tied them in a bow .I should have knotted them really.

There was a group of young Turks sat on the wall watching what was going on. I was screaming for John to come and get me. He eventually heard me and guessed what had happened. He came out in the water with a Towel to wrap around me. He

said ( Glo you've got nothing on. )

He thought that I'd only lost my top.

He didn't know until he got up to me that I was Naked. Hahaha. 😂😁🤣

He had a shock. I was Skinny Dipping, but not by choice. I was so embarrassed when I came out of the water. The Turkish Lads were just laughing and clapping. But I couldn't get away from there quick enough.

I was Naked under that towel which was soaking wet where John had to bring it out in the water for me..

Ill tell you one another day Lynne,about a motorbike.

Hope you can have a good night tonight Lynne and a real good day

tomorrow. Love ❤ & Hugs Gloxxxxxxx ❤ 💚 🌈 💜 ❤ 💚 🌈

Hiya again Pat. Yes im getting your text messages okay.

I don't know how to set up the PM messages.

Lynne is the best one to ask how to do it. She sends me a PM and then I can answer her back. It's completely Private. This is a really good Forum and so is the BLT one. They have really helped me out and made things a little easier for me to cope with. It can do the same for you.

Gotta go now Pat. Stay Safe. Glo.xx.
