Awake and up all night

Revealed with aplomb!

Oh dear why does OH feel down? Is it coming face to face with his current situation?

Has he expressed how he feels about meeting others?

Hopefully when he had had a bit of think during his lie down he may see it as something he could give a go.

How are you? We are still waiting for Scooterless to go for procedure. Stressy had to leave him to go to his dental appointment and now of course food is on the agenda.

Awe Parkinson's pal is here and said how he fell when out with dog and took him 5 mins to get up as no one around.

Right on cue, I took Stressy's dog out and fell too! Don't even know how but landed in grass so have survived with only a thrum in duff elbow arm.

Kettle on

Best wishes to Scooterless! Hope he's all tucked up now in his bed xxx

Hi Uki and more thanks hon.

I'm pleased to report that after a couple of hours' kip OH was much better and even laughed at some goon on the telly. I've recently woken up and rejoined the land of the living - you can't beat a good sleep. I don't need to tell anyone here but stress doesn't half take it out of you.

Anyway, stressless now and gearing up to make our tea, so you and yours get some of that fab Scottish air inside yourselves. 

Loads of love our kid xxx

Thanks so much Julie.

It was OH's 2 monthly ENT clinic where they check for signs of lumps and bumps around his neck area and have a good poke around his neck stoma. It's almost as stressful as waiting for results as we never know if something's lurking unless they find it. Not today, thank goodness.

We can relax for a while now hon, and football's on tonight - not cricket or rugby so I like

Hope you get some relaxing time in too, sweetheart xxx

Thank you Daisy ️ 

OH was a different man altogether after his nap hon - I'll be encouraging him to get more in  

Have a lovely evening sweetie xxx

Evening Shimmer  

I wish you'd be more careful when walking the hounds else that flipping boot might be on the other foot!

OH knows he's got no options about going to the new group as his team mooted and I've demanded, so it's a done deal. He'll get there hon, I'm confident of that.

Well it's our teatime now so food's got top priority. Does that remind you of someone?

Let us know how Scooterless is when you have time pet, but don't be wearing yourself out.

Big hugs xxx

Hi there to all. Thanks for all the good wishes for Scooterless. He has only just arrived on the ward after his procedure, but is awake.

Stressy and Parkinson's pal have gone up to see him. Stressy of course planning to lecture him on forgetting his water bottle and having no bottled water in his house, despite me saying he needs a smiley face

Don't know yet why the procedure took time or was just done late in day.

Thanks

So glad OH has perked up. Maybe the group will work as the major difference is no difference at all, so it's 'no voice AND????'

I should think folk in general don't challenge OH re not beeing sociable or feeling sorry for self. 

Just about no one challenges Stressy. Not wanting to be the one that pulls the pin I sort of understand but when he is careering towards a cliff edge, I wish folk would have the confidence and courage to throw a few boulders to act as speed bumps. Yes messy but it's going to be messy anyway.

Ooh that's quite enough of that.

What did you do for tea? Earlier I made some leek, potato, mushroom, sweet corn soup.

I will try to stop throwing myself on the ground when walking dogs... or at all

Cheers

Snippet update. Scooterless still has drainage bag but is scheduled for a another procedure in the next few weeks. I assume to look at the kidney situation.

Cheers

Evening again Shims

G️ood news on the Scooterless front and I hope he'll be able to cope with Stressy, aka Nurse Ratchet, demanding this, that and the other. Seriously, I wish the chap well for whatever lies ahead.

Yes, folk are pretty good in general about not getting annoyed with OH but he has encountered impatience from the odd taxi driver; that's mainly down to how long it takes him and Walter to prise himself out of their cars. They're probably bricking it the passenger door's at peril from getting torn off by passing motorists. If anyone was ever silly enough to get aggressive with him they've not met me - I'm his highly trained attack dog.

OH has 'met' a couple of larys in the past but conversation was zero, yes, and to be honest they were as reticent and eye avoiding as he is. The ones I've approached off the bat have been very willing to converse in any way they can or their OH's have done it for them.

Your tea must have been really tasty Shimmer, but I took the other route and did ham salad sarnies. When you call round again just eject the ham. Next door's cat is always on our doorstep.

You simmer down and relax too, hon xxx
