Morning skezier, how goes things today? DD

skezier

Mornin All,

It did go down overnight but as soon as I stood up they ballooned again. The right one isn't as big the left one is at least as big as yesterday......

I guess the opposite works on the return as it goes on the outward thing, they tell me the left side gets better oxygen cus its the nearest to the pump out from the heart so I guess the vein side will be in reverse?

Long as I keep the legs up..... there down juts now as I can't type with them in the way......

I see the rumo on the 20th, he will know what this is really about and brings me back to how much does the drip help v/s how much does it cause......

Hey Wonky I really hope you find it gets out of your system quicker than that! I sort of think you might need a bit more than residual drug? See they talk about residual drug so much and be honest I kinda think they just don't know! As an effective treatment neither your drug or mine has a very long lasting time, otherwise we wouldn't have to have it so often.... hang on to that and I so hope you get a huge improvement soon. xx

Rose..... we got rain today so its ok xx

The Loons and Wally are here again Iris..... I can't quite see what they are up to but Haz is with them so ...... He really will teach them all 3 bad manners...... xx

Oh Marion I shall try the pillows under the mattress rather than blocks cus its not a nice angle to sleep at is it? It is easier to just have the legs raised I think. Part from anything else the head sleepers would be happier not at an angle as well xx

Hi Annie,

Mine are most reassured to know your cat doesn't give you days off... they were a bit shocked for a second that she might I got someone dong the sheep today and yesterday so that helps as driving will also make them balloon again..... if it says raining then I wont be bale to do Thursday's sale if it doesn't..... shall have to see. xx

Hi DD and Toni,

Hope your both okish today and Toni the poem has become something else now. xx

I really must find a way of having these things up but still be able to use the pc... oh shouldn't have told you us now you might know it I am resting them or not :shock:

More hugs to you Cris (((((( )))))). Dont know how easy it is for you to get the rest you need but guess it is near impossible.

Hi Elizabeth,

Its not easy but I am trying... well guess you all knew that already :oops: :oops:

I just been out to do the chickens dinner and its a balancing act between resting these legs and keeping the bones moving......

Glad you and Lucy ok and sending a ((( ))) and a bucket of hopes, Cris xx

Hi DD,

Tell you thy come up the min I stick them down... so glad I see the rumo soon. Hey got the us for the gall stones next month as well so maybe that's got something to do with it? Naw it vasculitis I think.... something they have often warned me about.... Not through the drip but one of these things that go under the 'you'd have trouble if' things.....

Will stick en back up soon.... just got to bleach the floors.... do the trays,.... try and get some of the mud to go back into the fields xx

Hi Tilly,

I ok flower, juts at the mo time on my hands makes me fret a bit... that dam sister last week... no matter how much we talked it out (and I am not totally sure about that bit) some of it has come back to bite me so am going to find the mp3 and thump what remains of my brain into submission ((( ))) and a cuddle from Primmy in the antler costume xx

Hiya Cris, I've not been around much and have just attempted to catch up with this post. You've really been through the mill, haven't you, but still retained that sense of humour! You are a real inspiration, you really are and I am sure it will all have been worth it.

Take care,

Hey Barbara you snuck in....

There is a plus side, always is really..... I am healing at last, I have a huge swollen toe or 2 but they are now pink instead of blue and I am feeling less wished today (kept falling asleep again yesterday).

Its all connected you know...... They just need to find out what to The arms are recovering and doing less means the wrists are less swollen and back n the tablets means I don't hurt as much bone wise..... Leaving you a ((((( ))))) and thanks for always being there xx

Cris,

Our Neville knows he's onto a good thing with my daughter who dotes on him - she'd have him sleeping in her room if she could! Send them up here, and he'll sort them out!

Hi Lois,

............... They are on their way xx

dorcas

Hi flower

Pink toes?...you're doing good girl...let's hope that the swelling and pain all settles and the enforced rest and meds ease things for you.

I just want to send you special one off wally (((hugs))) cause I thinks you are one great lady.

Iris xxx

annie_mial

Yep - if the toes are pink, the drip has worked and if the rest is less painful the enforced rest is definitely working.

I know what you mean about time on your hands, petal........it's raining like hell here and has been since lunchtime so I can't get outside and I am wandering restlessly round the place like a pregnant cow. Can't settle to anything.

Will have to just sit at the window and watch the rain........

Love
Annie

Hi cris

just catching up on your progress today.

Glad you are resting with feet up between your hectic chores.

The weather mustn't be good anywhere. Dull Dark and Damp here,
It can't even be bothered to rain.

Sending hugs to you ((((())))). you are a real inspiration. I should also clean the floors but it will wait till tomorrow.

Hi Cris

Thanks for the message and the cuddle from Primmy. She looks just fab in the antlers doesn't she? I do understand why last week's awful experience is still with you Cris and don't know what I can say to cheer you up - other than "hooray for pink toes" eh?

And I agree with JuliePF and everyone else who has said it on this thread - your courage and resilience is amazing and you ARE an inspiration.

Hope the MP3 pounding has helped! I really must go on t'interweb and try and find some of that music you and DD listen to and see what I'm missing!!!!

Sending you ((()))s and a "neigh" for Primmy.

Lots love Tillyxx

tilly, hun, I think you would be horrified! It's noisy and bouncy and I cannot imagine it being to your taste - mind you, I got the floppy hat thing wrong! I do, however, recommend as a taster 'I Remember'. Gorgeous, gets me dancing. I seem to remember a certain D Bellamy enjoying that one too!

skezier, keep those legs raised as much as you can: although it appears to be a side effect of the drip, as soon as they are vertical and with weight on they will balloon again, so please, for once - do as you are told and rest! You need to get this sorted so you can be there for the assorted fauna for which you care. You can't look after them if you yourself are crocked. You had a shocking week last week, be kind to yourself this week, please, and do the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM - otherwise I will kidnap the Davids again. DD

Hi Annie,

Pink toes are a novelty.... Its pooled a bit though here an there cus of this itis thing..... Proved a point though, one is a good inch smaller now and the other... well its not as tight! I hope its a quick reaction but wouldn't mind an ultra sound again.....

Hope your rain has stopped now? ours has moved into the gloom of twilight too soon.... ((( ))) xx

Hi Julie,

Its quietly going in the right direction... but... i still have a bit of evening duties to do..... Slipper-Boy (who has claimed another slipper this week :roll: ) has came in with the dirtiest clothes he could find I don't ask for black tie but this is abit much ((( ))) xx

Hi Tilly,
She does look lovely doesn't she? It really does suit her actually.....

Its ok really just the sister was quite blunt and matter of fact over stuff I really think she over stepped her mark... she did apologies, and so did I, but.... It will dislodge cus this one

Hi Elizabeth,

I shall be fine flower.... few days from now this leg thing will be history and I will have made up the blood to fill all the dilated holes and well don't you go worrying... in some ways to have to keep dong things helps... I did have a bit of a lie in today and have taken on bored Nearly saying a lie down might help.... so.... tomorrow i shall see what i can do to make this go away and then find out if this is likely to happen again....

Hope you all had a decent day there? ((())) Cris xx

Hey Cris

Wow - pink toes - that's brilliant.

Glad to hear that the bit of rest and relaxation is helping - although I can appreciate that you're not used to having time on your hands!!


Take care

hi Marion,

I have 2 toes that are a huge problem and I am going to ask the rumo again if they could be removed..... he said last time it wasn't quite time but well.... lost one and these 2 look as if they might go the same way..... I kinda think it would be better if they weren't there...... Don't know but except for after the drip they are really bad and don't let up too much. Going to have to do a list for the rumo.....

Hope your coping with the extra hours still? (((( )))) fr you from me, slurps from the mud covered thing on the settee and a coupe of skaco's for the girls. xx

Hi Rita,

I think I might see if I can get a bit of a holiday soon..... I think a total rest up would help eh?

Its only Iloprost but I seem to get a lo of side effects now ..... mind the sickness and headache I have had from the beginning but its just this midline thing...... I just never get one and the nurses take it a bit personally if they can't get one in...... Then I get moaned at it seems....

You know what its like flower, well I hope you don't but knowing the way things are ... I feel very vulnerable, i get called difficult, i feel less relaxed, they miss the vein of go through it usually and then I get the difficult thing.... I can' help it but I know I become over sensitive and well the drip is better with the right mind set.... Sorry where did all that come from :roll:

Lovely to see you and sending you a ((((( ))))) and a hope all is well? Cris xx

HI Cris
