Rubylady

I used to play against myself at scrabble I.e. play two hands. That doesn't take much energy! Maybe u could just turn a blind eye about the bits the cleaners forget? I've got very good at this! And my son post op has been topping up his limited menu with breakfast bars as he can't stand long enough to cook. Hang on in there we r all thinking of u.

Hi, we're having an early night tonight, on our way to bed now. Maggie's been poorly today, not been drinking for last couple of days properly so I've had to syringe water down her as she's been shaking. She's ate her tea and has just had a drink herself so it seems like she's feeling better now. I've had her at the side of me all day.

Considering maybe giving car back to motobility and getting one of my own, smaller one which would go through the gates to be off the road, plus I don't use it a great deal really so it's a lot of money to pay for occasional useage. What do others think? It's going to be off the road for three months anyway, that's nearly a grand paying out for nothing.

Hopefully we can get out tomorrow on Mark "The Beast" mobility scooter! Get some fresh air and stop us going cabin crazy! I hope it's nice where you all are and you have a great Sunday. Love and hugs from me and Maggie Xxx?‍???<Mark!

Why not give car back and use money you would have spent for taxis? You can then make up mind about new car when you're back to health.

Yes I agree with Pittcity about sending your car back and using taxis until you feel much stronger to make a decision. Mobility cars are great but if there not used on a regular basis then it could be looked at as a waste of your money.

Bad day today. Maggie still not well, friend came over to see what we should do with her but she rallied a little so left taking her to the vets today. She said to phone her tomorrow if I need her. I'd be lost without the support of friends, all of you on here, my friends. Thank you. Back really sore, in a lot of pain today.

I'll ring Motobility tomorrow and see what they say over the car. I do wish that I had someone here to share things with and, at times like this, hand it over to someone else. I've ran things for 16 years now as a single mum/person but I'm a bit worn out, need someone to care and share responsibility. I've had to be responsible since I was about 11/12 years old. I want a chest to lay my head on, but not like the ex husband, he had a chest, obviously, but he had no backbone to take charge and I still had to be the responsible one. I'm probably just tired as Maggie had me up in the night. X

Sorry to hear that Ruby. I hope you have a better night tonight and that Maggie continues to improve. I wish we all lived near you and could take it in turns to come and cheer you up. Better day tomorrow hopefully. X

Ruby hope you are feeling a bit brighter today. Sore backs are a buggeration aren't they? Anyone lucky enough not to have back problems can't imagine the pain and discomfort they cause. Hope Maggie has improved too x

Currently sat in A & E, after falling while having a bath a few days ago. My ribs around my side are purple and very sore so came to get checked over but, as it's Friday/Saturday it's busy. Plus the woman next to me keeps laughing and shaking the seats!

If I'm not called soon then I'm going home, I'm getting very tired and I need to sleep. They won't do anything anyway for a cracked rib.

I'm going to wrap myself in cotton wool! Xxx

Sorry to hear that Ruby, hope it doesn't affect your admission on Tuesday.

Good idea to get yourself checked our Ruby. How painful that must be. Just what you didn't need right now.
I think all hospitals must use the same supplier for their waiting room seats as I often notice that horrible shaking, often transmitted from someone further along the row. Hope you are home by now having been checked over, and that your planned admission is still on. X

Checked OUT

What happened, ruby, were you able to sit out the wait? If not please go back today, should be quieter during the day, best to get checked out. Don't risk anything and, just be careful out there . I'm probably the only one who watched Hill Street Blues and remembers that catch phrase .

Hope you will soon be more comfortable Ruby.

I loved Hill St Blues. Especially the theme tune.

best wishes Ruby

- thinking of you Ruby - hope you got checked at A&E x

Sending good wishes and positive thoughts.

Pleased it's not just me, pensionpat, also loved the theme tune, great programme .

Hi Ruby, I've been busy for a few days so not seen this thread. I hope you are ok - let us, or at least your Auntie Ann know what's happening.

Hi Ruby. Just caught up. Family here for the weekend. I do hope they saw you soon in A&E and that hopefully you only have bad bruising and not cracked ribs. I hope it's not as hot where you are too. Our outside thermometer registered nearly 30 in the shade here in Norfolk. Too hot. Visiting dogs (hairy Cockers) can't be trimmed for another couple of weeks and the old one is really suffering. Not off his food though he can't break the habit of a life time. I do hope you and Maggie are coping ok.

rubylady

Oh dear oh dear oh dear rubylady! I am so sorry to read about your trip to A&E. Has someone checked you over by now and ascertained the extent of the damage? You must be worried about it delaying your operation. I do hope it goes ahead ok this time and that you'll soon be leaping around again.

By the way, did you know that one in four frogs is a leap frog?

Love and a very gentle (((hug)))

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't posted for a bit, been quite down waiting, feeling anxious and just want all this over now.

I didn't stay the other night, at half two I was exhausted and it looked likely to be another two hours or so to be seen. The sister did say it just looked bruised and not broken and I can breathe without pain there. There were also police bringing a couple of people in and, being on my own, felt quite vulnerable so wanted to be home. If I do have pain I will go back this week when it's quieter.

Aunt Ann has phoned today, asking how I am but also told me about the book she has won for being so caring to me. Thank you to all who nominated her, she is a wonderful, caring, generous lady with a heart of gold who has thankfully taken me under her protective wing and makes me feel loved and cared for. I hope we will remain related for many years to come. I knew nothing of this competition or the street party, I hope you all had a lovely time. ?

My car has been returned today to Motobility, I'm not well enough to drive now and won't be for months so might as well save the money for now.

I'll try to come on more, all of you take care, lots of love Xxx

Thanks for visiting Ruby. You must be right pee'd off now. We are glad that your AuntieAnn is being so caring but we'd expect no other from her. We all care for you too and she is our proxy.

Thinking of you ruby. . X
