Hi Michelle,

She will be a min before she is able to post but its all gong well and the biggest 'problem' she has with posting is her fused wrist isn't so good at typing. It does sound very hopeful and t rare cus its fairly new isn't it? I have told her you re waiting for one and she will tell you all about it as soon as she is able. I told her not to rush though cus its very early days for her at the mo.

Hope your are ok today as well? We go a bit of sun and no clouds ((( ))) Cris x

Hi All,

She just text me and had a good night. Sends her love and hugs to you all and has her arm elevated above her heart level. She was sick this morning so was very lucky yesterday eh?!

I will pass on the messages later and she said she is being spoiled at the mo, still think she has earned that!

Lynn hope I missed your sheets today I did fly over Legs's place but not sure if I remembered to leave a card..... a few others as well (what am I dong excepting the blame for pigeon calling cards.... anyway I got sea gulls..... bit like flying elephants

You all have a good day and I know how much this support is helping Iris so thank you all form me and I know her

Hope everyone has a reasonable day. ((( ))) to you all Cris xx

Hi Iris and Cris

So pleased it's all over and you're home again, hope you're into daytime TV or have plenty of DVDs to watch/mags/books to read.

Choccy is the order of the day with lashings of tea/coffee/wine/beer/gin or whatever takes your fancy.

Apparently there's a website called 'Be My Butler' where you can hire a nice young man just wearing skin tight trousers and a bowtie to tend to your every need. I'm thinking we could have a whip round on the Forum to get you one .....only thing is, make sure if he speaks English with a French accent that DD doesn't find out otherwise you won't get rid of her :shock:

Luv Legs XX

PS Cris, I did see a pigeon fly over earlier and it was wearing wellies ....was that you by any chance? :?

annie_mial

Hi Iris, if you are looking in, Cris if you are not...............hope the nausea has stopped and you are feeling more the thing today. A night in your own bed often works wonders!

Also hope the spoiling is continuing, you can't have too much at a time like this.

Cris, glad you are a pigeon........we've got flippin' great seagulls shrieking about today................I've been wearing a hat and I'm not even thinking about looking up...............I haven't been the same since one got me in Brixham 10 years ago.

You take it easy Cris, you've been doing a lot these past few days. Hope the nurse was able to suggest an anti sickness tablet for the nausea.
Brilliant news that you are home Iris. Hope you be a good patient now that you're in your own place. Do let your Sister and Family help now won't you and get lots of rest.

Speedy

Hi Trisher

What a fabulous bouquet!! Iris will love them..

Hi Iris

Hope you are OK - I guess these early days will be very tough for you, but I'm really hoping the future benefits will far outweigh the current pain.


Hi Cris

'm envious of you with all your lovely animals.. hard work (and lack of sleep) I know, but nothing like a new 'baby' to make the world seem a better place...



Marion

Hi Rita,

She didn't offer anything bar see the gp so if it keeps on I shall make an appointment for next week. Hope your doing ok and Iris sends her love and a ((( ))) to you. Hey don't you go oer doing it either. ((( ))) Cris xx

Hi Speedy,

He is actually a nice little chap, legs already straight and very bold.....Just her idea of foaling leaves a bit to be desired Hope you and S have a good weekend.

They are three quarters done but I just don't seem to have that final push as yet but not been too well so guess that's why? xx

Hi Marian,

Its not a bad way of life really 3 have foaled so far with one more to go..... Their owner has a feral mare.... she is feral as well but getting better and she will be foaling probably in a couple of weeks. Hey I intend to spend between now and then sleeping

I hope your doing ok? Its a hard slog sometimes isn't it but you will get there soon I hope. A ((( ))) and what are you like at sitting up with a feral mare Cris x

Hi All,

Have flown up and knocked on the window but couldn't in as yet. I am late cus i had a late night so have left the messages and flowers and will let you know later. She did send love and hugs to you all last night and i may not have told you as I was a bit side tracked.

I hope the sun is in your bit of the UK and leaving some ((( )))'s for all that need and for those that don't as well. You all have a good day. Cris xx

speedalong

Hi Iris - hope you haven't been in touch because you are resting ... visitors for too long can be tiring in the early days. As long as you have stopped chucking up and the pain meds are making things tolerable.

Speedy


Hi Cris - I hope she turns out a better Mum than she was at foaling. Was it her first? In your experience do they get better at it?

Re the sheep - sounds like you are getting through the shearing somehow ... although physically it must be a killer - it must be a relief too.

S is tired and unpredictable today ... hoping this is just because he is tired and not because he is sickening for something. This is when life gets complicated ... he is no good at working out what''s wrong - and I have to rely on analysing his behaviour and symptoms .. a bit like you have to with your guests!! We gave athletics training a miss today - too risky - but a shame as he needs a fair amount of exercise for his general wellbeing ... Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Speedy

Hi Cris

I would be in my element sitting up with a feral mare! If only I didn't live hundreds of miles away from you I would be over like a flash...

Hi All,

Just herd from her, she is ok but her arm is hurting and she is very bruised still. She said her pain control is holding it but bless her she hasn't been able to use the lap top yet.

She asked to say she is missing you all and well she will be back as soon as she is able. I still think a voice activated one is the answer..... Bless her she is bored but being well looked after and at least this way she is still in touch with all cus I should have worried my self sick.

Oh do you lie the bells I have round my legs so she can hear me fly in?

You all take care and Iris sends her love. xx

Hope your ok and thank you so much for the name cus it suits him xx

Hi All,

I know how much it helps to get support when your cut off from it so will make sure she gets all the messages.

She has her plaster changed soon (I think that will really help actually) and they will have a look at it and her physio is arranged and also the ot have helped but she said she hasn' been able to loo at the lap top as yet.

Will keep you posted, Luv the pigeon in the nice cap, jacket and with the lovely sachel (so big to carry all the hugs and good wishes in) and not forgetting the lovely bells on my feet xx

Iris if you do look in (((((((((( )))))))))) xxx
