Thanks Cait and louby - the only way is up! Had a very unfortunate experience earlier this week...I was standing in our pharmacy, minding my own business, but was very aware of a young woman with severe special needs, she was accompanied by two carers, she was making some quite alarming noises, but as I said I was minding my own business and not looking at her, suddenly she launched herself at me, scratching at my arms and body, her carers were not as quick as her...I am unhurt, but what a bloomin' shock, when the carers managed to get her off me I completely forgot about my poorly knee as I quickly made my way around the pharmacy and positioned myself behind a guy who was built like a brick outhouse! Her carers were really apologetic, but my word, they need to speed up their reactions methinks... In other, and much better news - have two 'granddogs' for the day tomorrow - whoop!

Good morning - 'tis Friday! How is everyone? I now have a whole new diagnosis for my knee - this makes so much more sense - I couldn't see that it was a 'torn meniscus' as it didn't happen suddenly, rather it started at the beginning of December and gradually got worse...new diagnosis is pes anserinus - so just different exercises and rest and time to heal, I am grateful to the physio for his comment "this is going to be a long job", that sounds a bit odd but it stops all the 'oh it might be better today' thoughts - anyway, it's really nothing in the grand scheme of things, lots of people would pay to have my problems... Hope the weekend is kind to all x
-
Crikey - I hope not - no mention of any operation for me at this time... Your knee sounds so painful - I so hope that you get some proper help very soon - I know that you have your xray next week x
-
Thanks for your kind thoughts louby Oh no - poor little girl How is your daughter now?
-
Hello 'tis Friday again - how is everyone doing? Lots of news here! I had my knee appointment on Monday - it would seem that I have a 'torn meniscus' (cartilage) - I am doing my exercises religiously and following orders about 'staying off it' as much as possible - I think it's improving - back for another appointment next Monday That's not the 'big' news though... Mr S has been given the go ahead for lung reduction surgery - phew - such a long wait, but obviously we understand that everyone is waiting too - he has to complete eight weeks of 'rehabilitation' (physio) beforehand to give him the best chance of a successful outcome, and, of course, keep himself well in the meantime... Hope that the weekend is kind to all x

Ah that will be it 🤣
-
Have had my blood test result and am breathing a big sigh of relief...when I went for the repeated kidney function, I asked the lovely nurse what it was all about - she looked at the screen and said "I can't really tell you except that I can see your (something) level was 29 and it should be between 1 and 20" - that felt a bit worrying, but anyway the great news is that it was all normal this time - whoop!
-
Oh no so sorry that your daughter has Covid - as Panders asked has she contacted her midwife? I really hope that you don't succumb - I will keep everything crossed for you Yay to the bus pass and pension - I haven't applied for a bus pass - should do that really, our bus service is dire here though...
-
Arrrgh parking tickets are painful Hope you had a lovely catch up
-
Good morning all - 'tis Friday Trying really hard to find something positive to say...er, um, er...🙃 Oh I know - the sun is shining - yay! Knee continues to give me grief, had my follow up blood test for kidney function on Wednesday so should get news on that soon, muscular skeletal appointment on Monday... How is your knee zigzag? Hope that the weekend is kind to all x
-
Hello I have been retired for just over a year now so not sure if I am the best person to advice - however, I would contact your LA as a starting point - wishing you luck with this venture
-
Whoa young Froglet you have had a big week - no wonder you need to rest your eyes 🤣
-
Oh louby douby - a new grandson in the near future - I am green with envy - do hope that our daughter has a 'good' delivery! I recognise what you are saying about staying on at preschool until your granddaughter leaves - I was in the same position with my youngest grandson - I felt that I was letting him down - but, you know what, he was just fine!
-
Well done lovely zigzag - it is indeed Friday again! So pleased that you now have an xray in the offing... I also try my hardest to avoid anything 'medical' but constant pain and no real answer is just no good at all - I am speaking for both of us here! My appointment with the physio/muscular skeletal team has been postponed (no real surprise there) it will hopefully happen on Monday 23rd - I really hope that they offer a scan, I'm not really happy with the vague "it's not osteoarthritis so possibly you have torn something". I made a huge mistake on Wednesday, I decided that I would walk to my hairdresser appointment it is something like a mile round trip and I was sure that wouldn't do any 'damage' - how wrong was I, knee was absolute agony yesterday, all my own fault I had been told to "keep off it"...anyway, it is a bit easier today and I plan a very restful day Knit and Natter continues to be great fun, I am so pleased that I bit the bullet and set it up. Had a chat with the lovely lady that took my pre-school on when I retired - so sad to hear from her about all of the settings that are closing due to the poor funding levels, obviously made far worse by the cost of living crisis. Onwards and upwards - hope that the weekend is kind to all x

Ooops sorry I must learn to read! 🙃 I thought you were off to get some sun!
-
Mexico - how lovely - enjoy my lovely black and white furry friend!
-
I know - I am not going to think about it 🤦♀️🤣 My lovely DIL is driving her up (train strikes), she is also taking some of her friends from down here - no idea how they will get home again...
-
We had such a lovely time celebrating our granddaughters 21st birthday - it's so good that both sides of the family get on really well, I was thinking that there were 4 generations present - eldest 94, youngest just 2... She has gone back up to her Uni town today to celebrate with her friends!
-
Oh zigzag you poor thing - such a long time with no diagnosis... I am longing for spring/summer too
-
What do you mean 'at our age' - i am only 23 (I wish) 🤣
-
Good morning - 'tis Friday How is everyone? My knee continues to give me grief - xray results ruled out osteoarthritis which was a relief but I'm not any closer to finding out what is actually going on - will be referred to physio/muscular skeletal team, a steroid injection was talked about - bring it on... Bloods taken on Wednesday - need to repeat as there was a question over kidney function Crikey - I feel like I am falling to bits and I don't like it! On a much more positive note - we are looking forward to a family celebration for eldest granddaughter Take care all and hope that you all have a lovely weekend x

Oops - I'm late on parade today - 'tis Friday! Young Froglet - I think Cait's lamp idea is a good one - worth a try anyway Cait - I love the Gingerbread Man! Zigzag - so pleased that you managed a Peaceful and happy Christmas x We had a lovely two days with our sons and their families - so special after the last two Christmas' have been interrupted by Covid - 2020 Boris put paid to our plans when he cancelled Christmas for us in Kent on 23rd December and 2021 youngest son's wife had Covid so that was that for our usual Boxing Day gathering I have been/am somewhat incapacitated by a very painful and swollen left knee - Christmas Eve found me at our local hospital having it x-rayed...have just rung our GP surgery to see if the results are in - long story short they are but it requires a conversation with Dr to discuss the result, this scheduled for next Wednesday - I did try to persuade the receptionist to give me some idea what is going on but to no avail...looking on the bright side it's a good excuse to get on with my crochet lap blankets for the Foodbank, I have been told to keep it elevated as much as possible... Wishing you all a very happy and healthy New Year xxx
-
Oh young Froglet you poor thing - sending gentle hugs to you x
-
