Tuesday 28 August. I decided the wise thing to do was cancel all activities/appointments this week. So rebooted chiropodist, physio, cancelled all Aqua and swimming. I'm walking minimum distances, or at least trying to. Hubby thinks I should up my colchicine dosage. It's difficult, though...

I used the there - here, a place, their - heir, belonging to, the explain the difference to eldest grandson. The other one - they're, I told him just to remember "attack of the apostrophes." It's a contraction of they are. You're correct, though. It's a nightmare language.

The joys (NOT) of gout foot! When I first used this on the flare-up over a year ago, they recommended putting it in the freezer. Big mistake! I was close to being scraped off the ceiling. This time, it went in the fridge. Must more pleasant on the inflammation. I made the mistake of going to get...

My departed brother went to Thailand twice a year with his golfing friends. Yes, he tried durian fruit but described the smell as rotting flesh! I wondered how he knew the odour of rotting flesh? Monday 27 August. I am now into a full-blown gout flare -up. It is just the big toe on my left...

That's a tricky one when it's 50/50. All you can do is, as you said, ask lots of questions and weigh up the odds. Best of luck xx

I had a simpler decision to make with my surgery on my spine. Consultant told me that with the surgery, I would not be totally cured, but I should show improvement over 2 years. Without surgery, I'd be confined to a wheelchair within 5 years, and I wouldn't get out of it again. It was a bit of a...

I was like that, too @Antje77 . I dozed quietly for 45 mins. The nurse dealing with me said that she didn't know what I was on or was doing, but could I please come back and teach everyone else! I had just been taught relaxation techniques during my stressful working life. I just applied them to...

I'm with @Annb on this @Antje77, plenty water and scrambled eggs with a bit toast. Plenty rest as well. S&D is horrid. Hope you feel sufficiently recovered for the MRI tomorrow.

Today 17 August. Niece is stuck on Uist. Her ferry was cancelled and she can't get back until Monday now. She tells me it's a two ferry job again to reach the mainland. Thankfully, she's in an excellent B&B who do treat her like one of the family. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with pate...

Technology is still causing issues. O2 decided esim cards were a good thing rather than the plastic. You get instructions on screen during set up it says. Easy to follow it says. No it isn't! The instructions didn't pop up for my transfer at all. Fortunately, I was able to get service by moving...

I feel for you. We both went to the vet with ours when she was suffering with kidney failure. She was 18y 6m, a great age for a cat. Like you it was very peaceful, stroking and talking. Years ago now but seems like yesterday. [emoji50]‍[emoji100]

I often dream about foods and I can taste them in the dreams! Oddly, they often include foods I don't like (and have never liked). Then I awake with the taste in my mouth. The reason I know how they taste us that I've always given things a try (some more than once) just to make sure I don't like...

My niece is still frequenting South Uist for work. She's there every second week. I think the B&B she's living in are regarding her as a friend she's there that often! She had to take two ferries over this time as hers was cancelled. She's there at the moment. Not sure when she's back. She's...

I'm back! I changed my mobile (I access it on my mobile) and I've been going through the nightmare of signing into everything again. They have this smart switch to transfer apps etc. Why it doesn't transfer passwords I don't know. I'll get settled back later. Schools are back so life returns...

I had one in the back garden that vanished after 3 years. Obviously, it didn't like the habitat!
