Mary if you are looking in I hope your ankle feels a bit easier, keep on keeping it up and let others run round after you.
I got your e-mail and had a look at the house, it's lovely, can imagine you all running round in it, lol.

I am just hoping Mary can get some rest before her surgery next Monday and afterwards soon so everything settles and heals ok. It's a good thing she won't have the worry of the dogs and trainer at the house for that period of time too, will give her more time to get well before they all descent on her.

I will keep you posted on the news of Mary as and when I get it, sometimes I have to check with her what parts of my mails I can put on here so takes time, and then if I am not around to nudge it no one checks back for the wee small hours of my threads etc.

Hi Liz, I do but my fingers are very bad just now. I got an e-mail off Mary last week but not been able to answer it yet. If you are looking in Mary, I will answer when I can, I miss you and really feel for you just now so sending big hugs.

FURTHER UPDATE FROM MARY - feeling a bit fragile, but today the dogs have been stalled till March 19th for a variety of reasons, so that gives a few more weeks to finish raising the funds. One dog is completely paid up,the other has some left.


Our poor Mary! At least the dogs won't be there this month while she is recovering from her surgery. Just hope she and Colleen can manage while M. is less able bodied than usual, might mean she is getting some sort of rest hopefully, so she will feel better later on when her wrist and ankle heal.

I don't know how she is keeping up with messages so if some people have had some returned she may not be able to deal with many at the mo.

I will keep you posted

Big hugs for you if you are reading this Mary

UPDATE FROM MARY ON FRIDAY.
Ive really done it this time. Fell down the last few stairs from C's upstairs flat yesterday morning. Shook myself up badly but it seems I have torn the ligaments in my left ankle and am subjected to a 'air boot brace'("just"$200.) for several weeks. Told it will take several weeks to months to heal. I actually thought it was broken - sore to touch, very swollen and discoloured. Damn and double damn. Can't do anything simply the doc said he hopes the rest of my retirement goes more smoothly than the first 2 weeks have LOL. My wrist surgery is booked for Feb 22nd and the dogs are due to arrive on the 23rd. he wants me to ssue crutches but with this big clod-hopper boot I would be totally unbalanced (more than usual) and increased risk of further injury. For now it must be elevated and minimal weight bearing. miniMary is having a group of her friends for a party here tonight, they are going to see a film in town after having a pizza supper here, then a few are sleeping over till tomorrow. Think I may sleep upstairs, quieter and I can keep my leg up without being in the middle of them all.
Oh I am such a klutz, the prob which made me fall I think is two-fold, first as usual I was probably moving too quickly. Secondly the steps aren't all the same size, some are very much narrower than others so one has to watch one's step and I was rushing at top speed.
Please send me a hug I am feeling sorry for myself . . .



I mailed Mary to ask if she wanted this up, and had further news.... see next post

ahh mary hope everything goes ok and gets a lot better for you, surprising what life throws at you, what dogs are you getting they sound very expensive, i know how much comfort they can give xxxx love puss xx

Thank you Liz.
It was lovely chatting to you and I went to sleep very happy with something different to think about. I don't get out much folks... ha ha ha

So happy to hear that Mary and her wee family are okay.
I have had a couple of e-mails returned and began to worry about you Mary.
We do think about you a lot and miss your 'newsy' threads... that is, when I come on the computer. I have neglected it a bit lately.

Love Deanna XX

Mary and I have talked before a couple of times, when we first got to know each other and that was wayyyyyy back lol Seems I have known her for ages - just wish I could afford to call her more often - o.h. will have a fit when he checks his phone account, mingy git! He has loaned me his mobile sometimes as he has cheap calls to USA etc on it to stay in touch with his son over there but every time I have asked lately he is either out of credit, or the battery needs charging. I bought him the phone and didn't realise it wasn't very good at holding the charge, he didn't mention it for ages so it was out of guarantee when he said and too late to do anything.

Mary is great fun and was so happy to chat - I think it cheered her up.

Lizx

Thanks Liz, was just wondering how Mary and co were getting on.
How exiting about the service dogs arriving soon. and so nice that you had a good chat together

Isn't Mary the nicest person Liz. Pleased you got to talk to her.

4.35am and I had some mails from Mary, she was feeling rough with her cold so I decided o.h. could afford the phone bill for me to give her a quick call. Colleen answered and Mary was flabbergasted to be told I was on the phone lol, we had a super chat and I hope I cheered Mary and she certainly cheered me.

Life is going to be hectic when the dogs arrive and the trainer will be staying at the motel up the road and coming round every day for a week to help settle the dogs and get everyone used to handling them and fitting the harnesses etc etc.
i hope they turn out to be exactly what is needed to keep the children safer and a little more independent too.

Great to chinwag Mary, and hope we can do it again soon

love
Lizxxx

Will let her know folks are thinking about her.

Lizx

Thanks for this Liz, it's lovely to hear from Mary and about how the children are doing. I'm so pleased the dogs are arriving soon, I would love to hear about the first meetings in their new home.
Would you pass on my love to Mary Liz, and say we miss her the next time you speak.
