Excellent Gemmary . Big hurdle to overcome and a step forward on your recovery .
stoatlord hoping it’s a kind Autumn and you can get to the park to read once more .
I am predicting a rise in thermal underwear this year for our garages and carports . My husband said we could set up a gazebo for Christmas, could you imagine us the length and breadth of this country trying to make Christmas work !!
Hope one special grand daughter has a good time at school and your daughter at her new job New chapters in both their lives .
Take care everyone ,

Thank you!!!
As for Christmas, please universe, I hope things have improved by then! I haven't had a Christmas for two years, being either in hospital, or ill enough I probably SHOULD have been in hospital. Not seen my family since Easter 2017.
However, my partner is hopefully coming to stay this weekend. The relief is enormous!
Robin.
Oh that’s good news . Have a great weekend ! Hope the weather is good for you too!
BBQ Turkey will be happening if required but it will definitely be happening. .
Hoping this will be a special one for you ! You definitely need a good one away from all hospitals.

Hi Gemmary and seaspirit44 hope you both got on ok and resting now .
We had a lot of rain here today . However my garage now has a little two seater sofa and my sister and I had a little catch up in there with the door open . It was absolutely fine . I had my wee garden chair and the chat was good !
Tomorrow it’s a long walk with friends . It’s an exciting life but it’s safe !
Take care ,

Covid test done, very well organised at Hosp, in and out very quickly. Always exhausted coming back from Hosp, memories.
Love the idea of a sofa in your garage. Ours is full of junk. Half of it was taken to make a new kitchen when we had the extension, and we are not sorted yet.
Enjoy your walk and stay safe.
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
Morning court, hope you enjoy your walk, might try a short one myself. seaspirit44 really glad you felt safe at hospital.
My day was mostly spent reading a book at the hospital! Allocated a chair for the day, wearing a mask all the time. So felt ok. History, bloods, then a chat with consultant when the results were back, sent for chest xray. They were happy there were no clots on lungs, so put on (anti) water retention meds to see if that helped the breathing. Awaiting a recall for a 72hour ECG trace. I am happy , obviously, there are no clots, and will see what happens. Hopefully onwards and upwards.
Have a good day all, and be careful out there!
