Dear soop I think you are right and that it is time for the other surgery to be done. Hopefully at the same time you can get the other meds checked out and possibly changed for something you can tolerate better. You are doing so well and are wise to get all the things that are bothering you sorted so that you won't get dragged down too low. 
Himself has graduated to walking with a stick and was like a dog with two tails - and then he stopped being cautious and overdid it with the result that he couldn't wear his leg at all. Then he tried to stand on our wobbly bathroom scales on his one leg without any support and surprise, surprise he fell straight on to the stump. I am afraid that was the point at which I lost it. 
Shouldn't have, I know, because we both had a fright. If he damages it badly there could be very serious consequences and he knows that but suddenly he is feeling he can do absolutely anything even to the point he forgets he no longer has a leg to balance himself on. I am so pleased he feels so well and is so positive but it does need to be balanced out with caution. 
As for me I am so desperately tired. It seems that as Himself gets better daily I am going down the swanny and have been feeling unable to function all week with no energy at all - not even to come into the kitchen!
We really need a holiday but ..... how? There are so many things we need to consider as he uses his wheelchair every day and not many places are wheelchair accessible and self catering is definitely not an option. It just seems like another problem to tackle. 
Never mind DD arrives today for a (too) short visit which is lovely and we are determined to enjoy and make the most of it. 
Lovely photos - much enjoyed! Welcome to all newbies and love to old friends. TOYA xx
Tara Good girl 
Ooops! The match starts at 6:30. There was I thinking that it was a 2:30 kick off.
Wishing you a pleasant journey to see your girls, Alygran
Charleyg How is Tara?. Brodie didn't visit last night. I've a feeling that he'll turn up over the weekend.
I have a wee amount of ironing to do as I watch the rugby match this afternoon. I shall be rooting for Glasgow Warriors...naturally. 
That's enough of my woes. No more mention of such personal buggerations concerning moi for a very long time.
granniequeenie Your photographs are stunning. Birds and flowers...Nature at her best. 
Feelingmyage You have made me smile. Good luck with that phonecall and, whatever you do, don't let anyone step on your big boots.
ann You are doing the right thing in taking care of your joints. A little exercise can improve one's mobility no end. It's also good to hear that you have the companionship of a like-mined friend.
Good morning to you lovely lot.
A special warm welcome to Avor2 and thank you for the delightful photograph and summary of your life style. We always say...the more, the merrier. Enjoy your weekend.
dragonfly I can only imagine how you must be feeling as you patiently wait for your treatment to proceed to the next stage.
My diagnosis and surgery happened so fast I hardly had time to think about too much other than getting in and out of hospital.
I was 100% confident from the word go. I came home and felt marvellous and upbeat. After the Zoledronic acid infusion, the pain in my bones became a big issue. Then I had to take hormone tabs to curtail my natural levels of oestrogen. I feel totally washed out. What's more, the anterior posterior prolapse (that would have been corrected with surgery , had I not had the mastectomy) is so much worse. I am drained. So many wees during the night. Up to half a dozen, mean I wake up as tired as when I took to my bed. Add to that, the recurring UTI's and buggerations are compounded.
I apologise for sounding off. It's not what I intended to do. Far from it. However, it has helped to let off pent-up emotions. Thank you for being there.
Welcome to everyone new! Hope you enjoy this tranquil and supportive space as much as I do.
morethan2 it was good to read an update on your dil, she is an amazingly strong young woman.
Love the hairdo maw, hope the Ocado man did too!
No wonder you feel a bit flat at times dragonfly, “hanging about” in limbo land whether in a physical or emotional sense can be so wearing.
greyduster i was interested to hear about your visit to Hardwick Hall. We’ve stayed very near there a few times but not managed to visit it yet...maybe next time.
We've had a good day with our family visitors, my bil and his wife - not always the easiest to rub along with! We visited some local gardens which seemed to tick the boxes for them both. It’s always beautiful there and never fails to please us so was glad they enjoyed it too. As well as the beautiful flowers which are always a delight we enjoyed watching a robin and a blackbird chilling out and cooling off. Then when we came back to the house I spotted a woodpecker passing by and lingering for a moment on our bird feeder in the garden, I do hope he comes back again tomorrow!
Hello avor, welcome.
Exactly that nannyt, it explains how a simple explanation of a simple wish (like ‘don’t cut my fringe’) can have such an unexpected outcome
Night all. Sleep tight.
Hello you people, I am new, hope it is ok for me to join you all. Have been reading up on the forums, and am loving it. I Live in Essex with DH and our 2 dogs, we have 2 DS's and 2 DILs and 2 GGD's (hope I am getting all my acronyms right) one lives in Somerset the others in Portugal, do you think they are trying to tell us something??!!?? (just noticed we have everything in twos) DS just came of out hospital after the third operation he has had in 2 years, lets hope life will be a little bit better now. Looking to downsize to a bungalow as I find it hard to get up and down stairs with my arthritis (they never said it would be like this)! just lost our buyer so back to square one. So I will enjoy my garden whilst I still have it. and I look forward to popping into the soop kitchen to see you all. Good night for now. ps pic of myself and DH enjoying the sun
