Hi speedalong, I know it's the end of term and you are rushed off your feet (metaphorically speaking) but I hope all is well. Did any equipment turn up - I hae me doots (as they say in Wales). Anyhoo, it's virtually the holiday now, so I hope you do get the chance for a good rest over the Christmas break. I also hope that S is keeping healthy. DD

    Hi Speedy

    Just leaving some energy spoons and much needed rest up vibes for you. The children will have no doubt been a tad over excited with the end of term!! and Santa due soon. x:D I hope the equipment has arrived ready for next term if it hasn't already :roll: and that you do have a good break over Christmas.
    take care ((( )))

    Hi Speedy,

    Well end of term can be hectic. We saw Daniels last Christmas play at his special needs school and i am a bit choked. He got the giggles for his bit of speech-no surprises there!
    I do hope that you can have some time to recover from going back to work and being with S. Have you managed to sort for Christmas? Maybe you have gone from hectic work to hectic shopping!
    Take care and I hope you will have all your equipment sorted for next term otherwise you are going to exacerbate the hip pain. We don't want that,

    Best wishes
    Elizabeth

    Hi to DD, Barbara, Chris, Elizabeth, Marion, Julie and Toni - you kind and caring people,
    PHEW!! School has finished! No more early get-ups and no more chores that have to be done before you go to bed, no matter what!!

    The last couple of weeks have been a real struggle - juggling work (and all the additional tasks that Christmas in school entails- whole school play, special dinner, parties, trips etc) with lots of liaising with professionals re S plus late online shopping for presies, plus evening school work etc My joints aren't keen on the cold and damp so they have been complaining a bit too.

    On Monday I was meant to having a remedial massage, but was so tired and sore I had a holistic one instead - which was lovely!

    On Tuesday I started physio for my work related hip and back pain - the physio was great. She was very supportive and thought I had achieved good range of movement. She manipulated my back which seems to have helped, but warned I could go every week and she would sort out my back and then work would set it off again ... and emphasised how I need to discuss again with my head about working with bigger children ... I have lots of new exercises to do, but have been too kn*ckered to attempt them yet.

    At the end of the day my perching stool (kind of a desk chair which can be set with the seat at an angle) arrived today - my boss was quick to bring it down and claim back his desk chair! Quite what he thought I would sit on until it was unpacked and adjusted etc I don't know. Still waiting for the comfy desk chair to come.

    Well, need to catch up on everyone else's posts ...

    Love to you all.

    Speedy
    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Hi Speedy,

    Nice to see you :grin::grin:

    Glad your nearly to the holidays or have just started them depending on what your school is doing? Tis good to know you get a bit of a rest though still going flat out cus of the time of year I shouldn't wonder.

    Good they brought the chair straight down and glad the physio was helpful. I kinder wonder about massages sometimes but its the undressing bit that puts me off... I am turning into t hippo and best left covered :lol::lol::lol:

    Be gentle to your self if you can flower. ((((( ))))) and hope S is looking forward to Christmas? Cris xx

    Wow! You have been busy and isn't it bl**dy typical, the chair you have been needing so badly turns up on virtually the last day of term: bl**dy ineffective man, can't/won't do what he's suppposed to do when he's suposed to do it. Twerp. anyhoo, the pressure is kinda off now, so kick back and relax (hah!) and enjoy the run-up to Christmas - you staying at home or off to see rellies? DD
