A thought for you Liz.......... are you prepared for the first "trial run"??

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Scozz, the op was done purely for practical purposes, nothing to do with me!!!!!

LOL is this delicate sensitive caring lady, the same one that hit someone with a bunch of keys a while back?


Bob ;-)

Bob, are you talking about me? Bunch of keys doesn't ring a bell

The patient had a restful day Monday, altho is suffering the sensitivity problem mentioned. I am keeping well away, lol, I did manage a trip out yesterday afternoon leaving him watching tv, and treated myself to a wonderful bouquet of flowers reduced from £10 to £2.50 in Tesco, a stargazer lily, two fragrant pale pink peonies, pink carnations, white chrysanths, and three pink gerberas. I put them in with the other bunch I got reduced on Friday, lilac irises,3 white roses, 4 pink roses, and they look gorgeous, all for £3.50!!! thanks Tescos!

Am planning another escape later today and if the weather stays as lovely as it was yesterday, will suggest a trip out on Thursday or Friday so I don't have to cook lol

Thanks for all advice and support.

He told me yesterday that before he went in he had a premonition he wouldn't live through the anaesthetic and was terrified, so was surprised to come round and find the op was over and he was still in the land of the living! I could have told him he was under more threat from me after the op if he hadn't behaved yesterday, after Sunday's fiasco!

Well we got through the week without me killing o.h. or him doing anything really silly. He did try to do too much on a couple of occasions but paid later feeling tired. He is planning on returning to work later today, but with someone with him to do heavy work and him doing the small stuff or advising.

We had a day out at the coast on Thursday when it was lovely and warm, I had to do all the driving but enjoyed the sea air and sunshine.

Just glad the op is over and done with and healing seems to be going well.

He was cheered by the fact that he finally got the settlement from the insurance company after his accident a year ago that caused our holiday to be cancelled. Now we can arrange something else and hope that goes to plan. Plenty of money to pay for a nice break, he got about £3000 for the pain and hassle of the injury etc and all his lost earnings and such paid out too.

Just hope we can have a calm and uneventful time in future, no more accidents or dramas or ops!

Thanks for the support folks,

Lizx

These things all seem to go on for ages ...then suddenly,light at the end of the tunnel.

thanks Brenda, have my day at hospital in mid July to think about now.

I have the beginnings of glaucoma in my right eye so have to go back for hourly pressure tests from 8am to 5pm. Hopefully will just be drops and check ups to keep things under control. Thank you to my optician for flagging up the problem.

Hope things are going ok for you Brenda, and you are still enjoying entertaining the elderly!!

Hi Liz, Glad to hear that things are coming out well , and that O H's "ole Man" is getting better!

Like that Liz...entertaining the elderly!!
Think we're older than some we entertain?
Thursday afternoon we are there again at their party with the mayor etc for the 3 rd anniversary of opening.
I have enlisted a roadie.....a chap I have been taking to see the band we go to.He is only 53,was a carer for his mum and dad for 20 yrs but it has left him with depression,so am trying to get him feel his self worth by helping us load the instruments etc.
You would laugh when I take 4 plus me in my small car..have to find the slimmest to go in the back and put their coats in the boot...causes some laughs though.
I have a hospital appt in July for a follow up colonoscopy...it's the prep I don't like!!,but think its good that they keep things in check.
Good luck with eye appt.

Liz, I have had glaucoma for quite a few years now. I didn't have hourly pressure tests. I do have eyedrops to use to keep it under control.

Huia, this day of testing is only to confirm the situation and see how far it's progressed, it shouldn't happen too often but my cousin who also has glaucoma just has to be checked every 6 months, and uses drops (daily I think) If it hadn't been caught in time it would have meant tunnel vision and then blindness. There is the beginning of a cataract in the other eye. I love to read and am glad to be driving so would hate to have further problems stopping me reading or driving or watching tv etc, our sight is so precious isn't it?

Brenda, good luck with your colonoscopy and hope your new roadie enjoys making new friends as he helps you with your band.

Entertaining the elderly is what my late Uncle by marriage used to say when he took his organ out to residential homes and sheltered housing complexes to play and sing along to, he was older than all of them, bless him!

Bob, thanks, have replied.


O.h. bussed to work on Tuesday at 1pm, and I remembered to pick him up at 10pm, will do the same today and tomorrow so I can have car and get out and about while he is at work. Just as long as I don't leave him standing outside work at the end of his shift.
