Lyn had to be at the hospital this morning at 7.15 ~ she was told last night they didn't think she would have her operation until later today ~ at least not until after 2pm. ~ but the person booked in earlier apparently was algergic to latex  so Lyn took her place ~ so she was in the operating theatre really early Tom telephoned me at about 9.15 giving me this good news.   

He called again about 2 1/2 later to say she was back on the Ward very sleepy but OK ~ they did do Keyhole surgery and with every bit of luck and no complications she will be able to come home to~night ~ (Bringing the Gall Stones with her) ~ :o)

Thankyou for all your good wishes for her I really do appreciate them and I know she does as well ~

 

                                   

This and That

                                 

Tomorrow Lyn goes to the Hospital for her pre assessment checkup and next Tuesday she will be in to have her operation ~ it seems an eternity since she got her date and I know she will be glad to get it behind her

~

Me I'm doing OK ~ glad Lyn let you know I had an accident ~ I havn't been able to type very much ~ certainly not as much as I would like ~ and havn't been able to drive so Tom has been driving my car rather than letting it stand idle ~ and he and Lyn take me anywhere I need to go~

As for the accident I went to see my Doctor and because the bruising was so bad he thought I had broken something and sent me off to the hospital ~ The Nurse at the surgery did attend to the cut on my arm ~ well I am glad to say I didn't break any bones ~ I bruised my shoulder and back and cut my arm ~ my right knee was black and blue ~ and I had a real good Black eye ~ which is now a nice shade of purple ~ the bruising is slowly fading ~ so hopefully it won't be too long before I am back driving ~ I certainly didn't feel ill through all of this just very very sore ~

At the hospital while waiting to see a Doctor this Big man came in with his wife and plonked himself down on the chair next to me he missed hitting my shoulder by inches ~ I think I would have hit him had he made contact with me :o)  well if I didn't I think Lyn would have ~

 

 

MUM

Hello there ...this is Lyn , Allys daughter . I am just writing a short note to let you know that my mum had a really nasty fall and spend most of yesterday at Hospital being X Rayed. She has a lovely black eye an awful injury to her shoulder (hence l am writing this as she cannot move her right arm )also a badly cut wrist and a very swollen right knee....when she does something she makes a good job of it !!!!!! I am looking after her at the moment what with mum and her painkillers and me with mine we make a right pair. Anyway Mum will be reading your blogs but will not be able to comment for a few days.

Take Care

Love

Lyn

bits and pieces

                  

I just had to pop in before the calendar shows March you know how quickly time flys by ~ it only seems like yesterday we were celebrating the New Year ~ and now it is the 1st of February ~

Lyn has her appointment for her surgery it is March 4th which is just a month away ~ she is living quite happily taking pethidine she say's it makes her feel like she dosn't have a care in the world ~ and it keeps the pain at bay ~

It is so unlike her so see her sitting still for more than 10 minutes at a time ~ BUT NICE TO SEE HER RELAXING FOR A CHANGE ~

Just looked outside the back door and it is snowing quite heavily

we have a bird in the Garden and I have no idea what it is ~ we are trying to get a picture of it which if we do I will send it along to you ~ and hopefully you will be able to tell me what it is ~ just in case it is rare we will keep the location to ourselves as I don't want a lot of Bird watchers invading the Garden ~ but of course you will be welcome ~ LOL

Had to smile at a conversation I had with my youngest Grandaughter Abbie

Abbie:  How do you spell Althea

me:         a  l  t  h  e  a

Abbie:    That is one of my names

me:         Thats my name too ~ showing Abbie a gold name tag

                Dick had made for me a long time ago

Abbie:      How weird is that Nan no one else in my school has    

                 that for a name ~ isn't it odd that you and me have

                 the same name

I will leave it to her Mum and Dad to explain that one to her LOL ~

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 ~
