Hi everyone,
Here's the new thread for October.
Good to see someone is doing well after surgery or unexpected treatment. Hope you will get stronger day by day. Glad to report that my legs are carrying me again and hopefully the rest will get back to some form of normality asap. Have a good weekend, big hug and love from
Angie and Lilly xx
Hi Angie, sorry you’ve had another stay in hospital. Enjoy the pampering from your daughter xx
Good day
I have just received from a message from Eddie too. He is recovering from an operation and is poorly. Everything crossed he is making a recovery and can have chemo soon.
Angie sorry to hear you are in hospital again. Really hope you can stay out of it and recovery nicely at home with Lily and your daughter.
Mr TVman oh no diarrhoea sounds horrendous. Is it a bacteria or virus infection ? Hope your medication is helping. Make sure you are well hydrated with electrolytes.
Siverback: let you team know re ulcers. Maybe they can reduce the dose a little and make it much more tolerable. I normally use biotene toothpaste as it does not contain SLS which may irritate the gum. Difflam mouthwash numb the mouth may also helps a bit too.
KrsiPy sometimes the gas from the operation can cause shoulder pain so hopefully yours will dissipate soon.
I am doing well. Virginia creepers here are turning red too. Enjoying a good walk around and seeing the autumn colours.
Take care x
Have a most wonderful time! Don’t forget post lots of photos especially all the good food here xx
Wish him well from me please when you next write

Good morning. Well a canary update. My boy Rip likes sleeping in the little nest at night. problem is there is only one. So Beth lets him sleep in it for a bit and then sits and pecks his head until he gets out. She has left a red sore on his head. I have now bought another one so they can both sleep peacefully. Talk about hen pecked.

Hi
Poor Rip, getting pecked on by Beth. I am glad they have a nest each now. Went to have lunch and catch up with some friends. I have ordered some flowers but the DPD delivery guy drop it somewhere completely random. I eventually located the door on the photo, but it is a door to some dodge alleyway and the flowers are gone. So annoying!
