.....for me it would be not having to get up to pee 3 times a night.

To Algieswife and Bellanonna my sympathy. I am there in a different way and how I envy friends and neighbours who are always out and about and holidaying. At this time in our lives we should be doing the same but circumstances say different. flowers

I so agree with you AlgeswifeVal. X

A full nights sleep for me too. Then perhaps I wouldn't hate myself for not wanting to get up in the morning.
flowers for everyone on here.

To have a healthy husband and not to see him suffer then we both can have normal lives

What sort of joints do you mean?

20:20 vision. Even better if I can have a refund on what not having it has cost me over the years - I'd be off round the world smile

Rhonab don't give up you can do it?

I have a number of health problems, but this thread has made me think. I'm getting some physio for my tendonitis and I honestly think if that could be better it would make a big difference. I love walking and I haven't been able to walk much for nearly two years. I'm really going to work on getting it better.

A consistently decent sleeping pattern and a better behaved digestive system would enrich my life no end!

Yes, I'm in the "wish I had the confidence to drive" group. I used to, when I was younger, but for various reasons I've lost all my confidence. Haven't driven for at least 15 years.

NonnaW Wed 10-Feb-16 12:41:57

Like several others - sleep. Tried all the usual suggestions, nothing works.

annsixty Wed 10-Feb-16 12:11:53

Oh no they are not,they are wonderful.?

I would also like to sleep better, but my main thing would be to pass my driving test ... at the advanced age of 57! Currently waiting for my second attempt but it's not for ages unless I can find a cancellation. Would be great to be able to drive along to my wee craft group, walking group etc when the weather is too bad for cycling/walking without needing the husband to take me. ?

I am like you mumbledore I am terrified of water on my face. I can't even wash my hair facing the shower, my head has to be right back. We have stayed in villas with their own pool where I have vowed to beat it even wearing armbands but as soon as I have water up to my chest I can't breathe and have to get out. It is so illogical.

TerriBull Wed 10-Feb-16 09:44:20

To cease tossing and turning and feeling overly hot, just to go back to getting a full night's undisturbed sleep would be wonderful.

Things are getting better round here. DH slept through all the coughing last night. sunshine

mumbledore Wed 10-Feb-16 09:08:57

I would love to be able to swim, I have spent a fortune over the years on lessons, even tried hypnotherapy but can't get past my fears. I know how to swim and can swim in the baby pool but can't transfer to the bigger pool even though the shallow water is only about 4cm deeper than the baby pool

To have a pain free day. I can't remember the last time that was. I am constantly on pain killers, spray stuff, heat pad anything to make it feel better.

Poor you Shrimp. I've been through that thin skin period due to steroids but recently as I've been tapering the dosage, the bruising and grazing have gone.

annodomini Tue 09-Feb-16 15:04:10

To live within an easy drive of my family.

Jalima Tue 09-Feb-16 13:19:37

I do sympathise Shrimp, my MIL had to take steroids and her skin thinned and she was forever knocking herself and bruising or ripping it. Then it can't be stitched either. DH keeps hoping he doesn't have to take steroids as his mother did for a bad chest.

Shrimp Tue 09-Feb-16 09:40:17

I hesitate to mention anything when I see the problems that some have on this page. But I WOULD like the skin I had 20 years ago - all the steroids have made mine paper thin and it bruises or rips at the slightest knock these days. Quite tedious.

To be able to eat a proper meal

Central heating.
