Lyn

                           

 

First I would like to say my hand is better from the scalding I accidentally gave it ~ there is just one very small blister that just will not heal ~ but that is not painful now ~

I have not had a lot of time on my computer as Lyn had been really poorly ~ we had to get the Paramedics out to her three times ~ on the third visit they sent her to see a Doctor at the hospital ~ who contacted her own Doctor ~ who has now put her on the priority list ~ so hopefully they will bring her operation forward ~ I do hope so ~ it is dreadful seeing your own daughter in pain and feel helpless to take that pain away ~

Most of my time at the moment is devoted to her so if I am not about know that I am thinking about you ~ and missing you

 

very short break

                        

 

We went shopping in Fakenham last Tuesday (and NO I didn't go to the Chocolate factory:o)

went to finish our Christmas shopping ~ then went for a cup of coffee ~ Tom Lyn and myself ~ Tom and I queued ~ coffee placed on tray  ~ then I touched the tray and somehow I managed to knock all three cups of boiling coffee over my right hand ~

Felt really stupid as the young cashier rushed  to my aid ~ getting a cold cloth to wrap round my hand ~ which had turned a brilliant red ~ Lyn got a bowl of cold water and there I sat with with my hand in this water as I drank another cup of coffee which Tom fetched ~

So I am giving my hand a rest will be back in a couple of days ~ will be about on the computer but not typing

 

Bits of that and bits of this

 

             

Just looked at the date of my last entry into my journal ~ I cannot believe that amount of time has elapsed since I last wrote here ~

December 6th Lyn went to see her consultant and was told her operation would be done within the next 5 months  ~ maybe earlier ~ if there is a cancellation ~ time will tell ~ she is coping well that is the main thing ~

Lyn went to Babysit the other Saturday night when Tom and Cress went to London to celebrate a family members Pearl wedding anniversary  ~ we forgot to take anything out of the freezer for Sunday lunch ~ so we cheated just a little bit ~ there is a butchers just down the road that opens Sunday and sell ready cooked meat ~ gravy included ~ we bought a joint of beef and it was cooked to perfection (May do that again:o)

Earlier this month my Great Niece gave birth to a little girl ~ Eliza Ruby ~ havn't met her yet but will be doing that very soon ~ "that makes me a Great Great Auntie :o)"

Have been keeping up with reading journals I like to know what is going on in JLand ~ I hope anyone with health problems soon feel better  ~ there does seems to be a lot of bugs going round ~

I am looking forward to Christmas it is a time of the year I love ~ getting together with other family members ~ missing terribly those who are no longer with us but always remembering them with love and affection ~

Have been out and about Christmas shopping ~ that is just about finished ~ went to Fakenham and yes I did visit the Chocolate Factory again !!!!! ~ I should weigh a Tonne but unfortunately I do not put weight on easily ~ it really is just as hard as trying to lose weight ~

Odds and ends

                         

The Rainbows were taken after a storm yesterday ~ it made such a beautiful picture ~

Lyn is doing OK meds keeping pain at bay and I am thankful for that :o) She said to say thankyou for your concern ~

We have a small brick shed just to the left side in the back garden where we keep the BBQ and other odds and ends ~it has been taken over by a Robin ~ Tom wanted to go in there yesterday but Mr Robin screached and screamed and flapped his wings telling him to go away ~ we leave the door open all the time so he can spend these wet and cold Winter nights in the warm :o)

Another cute little poem :o)

The Lost Dr. Suese Poem

"I Love my Job"

I love my job, I love the pay!

I love it more and more each day.

I love my boss, he is the best!

I love his boss, and all the rest.

I love my office and it's location, I hate to have to go on vacation.

I love my furniture, drab and grey, and piles of paper that grow each day,

I think my job is really swell, there's nothing else I love so well.

I love to work among my peers, I love their leers, and jeers and sneers,

I love my computer and it's software:

I hug it often though it won't care. I love each program and every file,

I'd love them more if they worked for a while.

I'm happy to be here. I am. I am.

I'm the happiest slave of the firm, I am.

I love this work, I love these chores.

I love the meetings with deadly bores.

I love my job ~ I'll say it again ~ I even love those friendly men.

Those friendly men who've come today.

In clean white coats to take me away !!!!!

another update

                

Lyn has an appointment to see the consultant in December ~ and hopefully won't have to wait too long after that ~ We can only wait and hope

At least she isn't in constant pain and has some pethidine the Doctor gave her just in case she needs them

I cannot resist the Cocolate Factory and have lots of goodies if anyone calls this Halloween~ last year we only had one little visitor and he went away laden with goodies

Isn't "Pudding Pie Alley" a lovely name for a little tucked away passageway  ~

Third attempt ~ Update

 

                        

Lyn went to Cromer Hospital on Monday and had her scan ~ they found she has Gall Stones ~ the consultant told her they will have to be removed ~

She had been home for a couple of hours and her Doctor telephoned saying the Hospital had contacted him and he would be making arrangements for her to go into hospital ~ how and when that will be is anyones guess ~ I hope it won't be too long but you can never tell ~

I am trying to catch up ~ but time is going faster than I can run ~ I have been very remiss with my blog entries but hope to be able to get back in the swing of it soon ~

My week spent with my Sister Joy was just great ~ it was lovely being able to spend time together ~

I looked after her cats as well of which she has four ~ feeding time was just great they each have a different coloured feeding bowl and they know which one is their own ~ there is Lucky ~ Dennis ~ Snuggles and Bubbles ~ Bubbles had a stroke a while back and is a bit vacant at times but he still knows which feeding bowl is his ~ someone told me cats don't see colour ~ but I have my doubts about that !!!!!

The picture of the little black kitten is an ornament Tim brought back for me from Italy it is made of fur and is so realistic I even gave him a name "Midnight" and he has these little bright shiny green eyes :o) ~ they said they saw him and he reminded them of Me :o)

 

 

Just a short entry to say I am back home ~ had a wonderful week with my Sister ~ have a bit of a crisis here at the moment as Lyn has been diagnosed with Kidney Stones and is in a great deal of pain ~ waiting to hear from her Doctor as to the next move re: Admittance to hospital ~ so if I don't make an entry for a few days please forgive me ~ will be back as and when I can
