AWAKE.........

Oh dear,...such a shame those taxis put their prices up...wow thats dreadful....I had some taxi drivers (they were old grumps-I hasten to add not ALL taxi men are like that!)who refused to take me home from my weekly shop,just after my op.(I wasn’t meant to carry heavy bags)I told my brother and he said it was because it was a small fair.

They didnt know anout my DIEP and I wasn’t about to tell them.

Invisible to them...but not to me!!xxx

I’ve just spoken to a lovely BCN who did my dressings last week and she said if I can get to the hospital just ask for her and she will come and sort me out.i expected to have to wait until next week or tomorrow at the very earliest.not risking walking to and from tram stops as very icy here and I’m clumsy enough at the best of times so off in s taxi which will hopefully be a lot less than £40!!

Hope you managed to sleep LondonLass, with that problem off your back, despite the residual sadness xxx

What a nightmare , so sorry you had to put up with that; last thing you needed so soon postop. Hope your wound heals normally now. Are you attending Christie or somewhere else for the surgery f/u ? 

My counsellor could not get out of her road yesterday, so we skyped. Was quite glad I did not have to go out. Made it to choir pm as the snow had started melting and it is only round the corner. I put old stockings over my boots to avoid slips. Went for a walk today locally and the stockings seemed to help, even though it was icy. Can't stand being stuck in the house, even though I'm terrified of falling.

Hope to go to Tai Chi and the choir on Monday ? see you there if you have recovered from your hospital journeys xxx

Hi,....so glad you haven’t slipped.Have you any of those claw-y things which attach to the undersides of your footwear?

I gave mine tothe lady who takes me to Ch as she has the beginnings of MS ,(for when she takes her dog walking,..)but unfortunately I need some now!!

I am not sure where they are purchased from?I got mine on a day trip out to a different town....

so glad you enjoyed Matthew Bourne’s Ballet...did you see moomythere??xx(have to ask...)

Violetsniff got mine from Amazon xxx

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm in this very cold weather! We have a little dusting of snow in Exeter! Be interesting to see if it's still here in the morning! 

Well as I am still Wide Awake, even though I have been drowsy all afternoon/evening! I thought it was a very good chance to say............

, you have become a VERY Special Friend to me and I am so grateful for all the love and support you have given me. I hope today is a day full of fun and laughter, with lots of treats and surprises! You are one VERY VERY Special Lady who I am honoured to call My Friend! 

Happy Birthday My Lovely xxxxxxx

And what's better than 1 Birthday message ..........

Well 2 of course! 

You deserve so much more! Xxxxx

Oh wait one second, I nearly forgot........

The Cake! 

Now I know you wouldn't want a huge fuss so I just made a little cake!!! Nothing too grand! 

Oh and a certain little chap has been so excited all day waiting for the clock to pass midnight. He's got a little something for you and he wrapped it himself......

He loves his Aunty Love and Hugs from LP xxxxxx
