You be careful tomorrow Mrs.
You be careful tomorrow Mrs.Had a nap due to a naughty lunch and now drowzy. Snow is not affecting us but hugs to those affected, ♡♡
Ice tomorrow for us. I need to go out. God help me.!
I'll leave it as late as possible. Mr ickihun and 3yr old in tow. I cannot walk fast anyway. Physio has me using crutch on other side now but no less painful. I will dose myself up with non- stop codeine to try and help. Fingers crossed. Taxi back thou.You be careful tomorrow Mrs.
Just take it steady though. Ron has his pip assessment tomorrow morning but they are doing it at the house . Which to me seems odd. Never heard of people having it done at home before. Mind you with the amount of pain he's in he can hardly move .I'll leave it as late as possible. Mr ickihun and 3yr old in tow. I cannot walk fast anyway.

If worse than normal defrosed ice will taxi both ways. Needs must.
Still got the hacking cough.How are you @tina_marie ?
My uncle had his at home and still receiving his payments so we are hoping he's ok.Just take it steady thou. Ron has his pip assessment tomorrow morning but they are doing it at the house .

Its a pig of a virus. I honestly thought I was choking to death. Are you over the worst?Still got the hacking cough.
Only seems to get worse at night . That's when chest feels tight.Its a pig of a virus. I honestly thought I was choking to death. Are you over the worst?
Are you propped up with pillows? I have sugar free covonia which really relieves the cough. I took ibuprofen but not suppose to with one of my other tablets but I was desperate for relief. Are you coping ok?Only seems to get worse at night . That's when chest feels tight.
Yep that does help cause Ron is sleeping down stairs I'm using his pillow as well as mine .Are you propped up with pillows? I have sugar free covonia which really relieves the cough. I took ibuprofen but not suppose to with one of my other tablets but I was desperate for relief. Are you coping ok?
Is it hot @Liam1955 ? You poor thing. Can you walk on it ok?Good Evening Folks.
I think I need to take out some sort of Insurance! I am a liability!!
I don't put the bedroom light on when I go to bed, because I am accused of being Noisy?
Well, I was this morning at 1.30am as I hit my Ankle Bone on the leg of the Scandinavian Pine Bed - and did I "curse"!!!!!
Within minutes my foot began to swell and hurt like crazy, there was no way I could go to bed, and reached for the Liquid Morphine.
R insisted we go to A & E and we did. We were there from 11am till 2.30pm. Had my Ankle/Foot X-Rayed and told it was not fractured, so just got it heavily strapped up with eradicated bandage. And they offered me for the pain Ibuprofen = as if that is going to work on me.. (I've got liquid Morphine to knock me out).
Just to keep the foot elevated and keep wriggling my toes, moving my foot in circular motions and was sent on my way.
Git to my appointment with Practise Diabetic Nurse and she suggested I increase my Insulin = not lightly, as I will put on weight. D.N is going to have a chat with my GP and she will ring me tomorrow if they (she and GP) come up with any ideas.
This is my foot = ankle bone normally is visible.I wondered if I have Cellulitis? The D.N even thought this?

Let your gp have a look hun. It may need something more than ibuprofen. Rest tomorrow then get gp to have a look. Call him if concerned tomorrow.It is absolutely Hot and Throbbing with pain, can't put weight on it, but got my walking stick and using it indoors and out. Somehow don't think I will have a good night's sleep, but I am shattered and crave for sleep.
Better to take it easy than risk a fall. You don't want any broken bones to contend with on top of everything else, honey! Big hugs xxxI'll leave it as late as possible.

It hangs around forever, doesn't it? But take heart hun - it WILL eventually go. I think I have mine on the run now, but it has taken over 2 months! Big hugs xxxStill got the hacking cough.
I know exactly how that feels!!My uncle had his at home and still receiving his payments so we are hoping he's ok.
I have to appeal my walking part. I'm going to make a video diary and get assistance to appeal. I haven't a clue what to do other than that. How do you prove pain and immobility? On the odd occasion the painkillers are effective but on the whole (the norm) I'm in pain and breathless.
I don't think I'm very good at admitting I'm not independant, its embarrassing, isn't it?
I've always been so self sufficient. I hate using taxis. I've always enjoyed walking all over this country and dragging a suitcase then hubby, then kids along. I cannot do it now. Taxi company loves me. I'm a fighter and never allowed anything to stop me. My wings have been clipped.
I think that's the hardest part, isn't it? But if you try and look at it as a temporary blip rather than the way life's going to be for the future, it makes it a little easier to handle. Even if it IS long-term or permanent - and you don't know that at this stage - the only thing you have to deal with is today.
