Good Morning Saturday

Pelvic floor exercises won’t help DH ( sadly) but thank you Aggie and others. He is waiting for an op for an enlarged prostate and now has a huge (4.5cm) bladder stone caused by retention if urine, caused by the long time he has waited ( and continues to wait ) to have the prostate op . He’s in a lot of pain but can’t have any procedures involving anaesthetic for several months yet. I feel a touch bitter that if he has had the prostate op when he should have none of this crap might have happened .

Good morning from a bright sunny Essex. Was looking forward to a night home yesterday and was all relaxed, watching TV on sofa with a mulled wine when there was a power cut! Only 57houses affected but couldn't tell when it would come on again. Luckily I found my torch and a few battery Xmas lights stayed on. So nothing for it but an early night and kindle by torchlight(mine is quite old!) Was worried about Xmas food in fridge/freezer and also mobile phone dying as battery was very low. Oh how we rely on all these things. Well up at 8am and still no power so tea with saucepan boiled water. Didn't like the house so quiet as my radio is always on but was slowly getting used of it when at the 10.30 all back on. Then had to go around setting clocks, timers etc and back to normal life. We do take all this for granted but am so appreciating everything now!
Hope Mr Gillybob continues to improve at home and Gillybobs is well enough to cook and enjoy Xmas dinner together.?That sunshine is definitely around the cornerxxxx

Happy anniversary Dragonfly

A very late good morning from County Durham.

Food shop completed now without any hassle and have fridge, freezer and cupboards brimming for the big day. Only 12 to feed this year so that will be fun!

Highlight of today will be GD 2's Christmas Show where we shall see her perform her gymnastic routines that have been occupying most of her days after school and weekends in readiness. She is an amazing little athlete at only 7, and is working within a group of much older girls. DD is certainly going to have a problem in the future deciding between ballet and gymnastics as the training demanded for both is beginning to get serious.

Great to hear your DH is making good progress Gilly, and I do hope your tooth pain eases soon. Wishing the coming year is going to be a much better one for you both.

Have a good day all. X

Good morning from Glasgow. It has stopped raining and a bit brighter since you called in this morning Marydoll. What an awful experience, stuck in a loo! ? getting to any loo nowadays can be a bit of a panic stations for me these days?. TMI!

Happy anniversary Dragonfly?

Welcome vinasol

As you can see by the late hour, the sleeping tabs are working well, a bit too well but I will continue in the hope my sleep pattern gets back to normal?

Good grief gilly. Your DH appears to be coming on in leaps since returning home to your care. Fabulous news but I only wish you didn’t still have to suffer with such a painful mouth. I do admire your can do attitude. Wishing you both strength as you go on.

Really pleased it is winter solstice and now, spring is just around the corner. In my head anyway?????

Enjoy your day all and hoping those with troubles see a chink of light in the tunnel
