Well the strict sofa rest didn't go to plan this morning at all as i was woken by the dogs early and as i knew Billy had had enough i didn't want to wake him just to see to the dogs,so i did it,i fed them,made myself breakfast and sorted out laundry and by that time he got up.We had a chat about the kids etc and he admitted he hates the way they speak to me and appear not to care then when he says anything to them about it i get on at him,I'm going to have to let him speak to the kids when he feels he needs to but as Ive been on my own for so long with them and been a big softer i find it hard. My mum called and asked if i fancied going out for some shopping with her and at first i said yes but by the time id showered i knew i wouldn't be able to trail round shops,so back into pj's and on the sofa which suited me fine. Ive had several cups or peppermint tea today to see if it eases my stomach but nothings helping at the moment and if anything i look swollen on one side so I'm guessing its back to the hospital on Monday morning.
My uncle that was admitted on Friday is not needing to go on dialysis,they think he has had a virus which had attacked his kidneys but thankfully his kidney function is returning to normal and if continues to do so he will be home at the beginning of next week,lucky him.
My friends wee girl with the blood clot is on the mend slowly as well,she is on 3 iv antibiotics and warfarin daily but will get home next week on the understanding her mum takes her to the sick kids daily,a bit of a trail but I'm sure she will feel much better being at home with family and friends around her.
I still hate the new site,mostly the forums and haven't used them since it all changed over,i only come on to read blogs and write my own,however Ive noticed not all the people who were about before have managed to make the change over which I'm sad about,i wonder how they are and what they are now doing for support,bring back the old forums at least.
I'm planning on taking the younger two kids to an indoor rock climbing place with my mum tomorrow as there are over 70 places in Edinburgh which are free this weekend and are giving trial sessions on rock climbing so that should be fun,i wanted to go to the local funeral home which is open and a posh house in Edinburgh which has a massive glass extension,and the forensic labs in a police station,but we will see how it goes,knowing me ill go one place and be shattered!
