SKEZIER - CRIS. NOT TOTALLY LWA,BUT......

Good evening to all of you.

I am posting to let you know that our friend Cris has a nasty week ahead of her this week coming tomorrow starting morning.

I should really post on chit chat, but I am sure you will all forgive me (this not being totally arthritis related), as this is where she normally 'hangs out' these days.

Those of you who have known Cris a while will know taht every 4 months or so (longer if she can get away with it!) Cris has to have a yukky infusion every day for a week as a day patient.

You may notice tomorrow morning a dragging and scraping sound? Listen carefully and you will hear it.....it is the sound of the chains dragging along the floor as she prepares to leave for the hospital

.

Unfortunately first of all she has to have a line inserted and this is not easy as our Cris is a delicate soul and her veins can be somewhat elusive.....this makes a certain

nasty

takes this as an insult to her nursing ability :roll:

Finally once wired up Cris can settle down to watch tv

and sleep

until the nasty substance starts to make her feel really poorly :sad:

Each day it makes her feel worse and each day it gets harder to go in. All animals still have to be fed and watered as per usual.

I wish we were able to be there 'in real life' to help her, but we do 'our bit' here trying to cheer her along and support her and it really DOES help. My voodoo doll is pretty well finished I just need some hair from the nurse (and pixyandfairies' drawing pins)and Chris7 and Minky have their lump hammers ready

.

Iris and Wonky and myself will be on hand doing our personal assistant duties letting you all know how she is.

The conseqence of not having this treatment is too serious to be an option.

So.....can we all do our best to support Cris in her hour (five days) of need

No need to ask really it's what we do best.

Thanks guys

Love

toni xx

GOOD LUCK CRIS

(((((()))))s for a very brave lady. You have been through an incredibly difficult week---only you know exactly how terrible.
Wish you had help with the animals and could just cuddle and talk to them instead of having to do all that heavy work this evening and at the weekend.
You could do with a lie-in and breakfast in bed. However I think you probably enjoy parts of your early mornings especially now they are lighter.
Best wishes for the weekend,
Puffin

Tis a very stormy night.....

Sheep's are funny tonight, bit sulky cus of yesterday and her ladyship wasn't even sure if she ate choc chip cookies.... she sort of does she thinks but it was hard work... sulky sheep is a joke really

just don;t tell her

I have cancelled tomorrows sale, i am so wished and i mean wished as well.....

Plan is to have a bit of a lie in if the employers will allow it and then just coast the day as best i can once I have been to the grain store for some feeds and more hay.

Puffin now a days I do have to get someone to help with the real heavy stuff but he wont do the hooves or shear and Stamps is in need of a but of one and a lot of the hooves. (she still has her tail and it needs to be clipped off again)

I will see how bad I feel tomorrow and then either do it then or wait till i have had the acupuncture and hurt less

Not sure that is why they give it me but........

Got a lumbar support in the pipe line, not for all the time but for when it needs a bit of help and it might help with shearing...... what to do about the useless hands and wrists though.....

Maybe the drip will help with that one, its possible a bit of extra circulation can help with some of this endless flare the bones are so happy being in..... well tis possible

Got to say its very windy but warmer this end, Louise and I must get them bellows working..... I have slacked off them for a while now and this is going in the wrong direction to bring sun

Miss l Legs needs to lend me a day on the belows cus she normally gets the sun back..... threes is a challenge for her eh?!

Right the re-teadration is nearly complete and the hand is much less sore... did hit my knee with the sheeps water bowl... doesn't sound much does it but its actually a 2 handled steel 2'6" diameter jam pot

Yep it hurt!

Hope you all have a decent night and again thank you.

I shall be wished as hell for 7-10 days and then be normal! That's not a bad feeling and no the toes are still a deep red but they are not black and purple so big improvement and its still working and widening and will for a bit yet...... Its good at its job just so horrible going in.... less you have to have it when i will lie to you

Louise think about you too flower. leaving you a ((((( ))))) and a hope things pick up for you.

Love and hugs to you all Cris xxx

Morning gorgeous, I hope you were able to get some decent rest despite the weather and that you, please, take things as easy as you can today. Do the minimum that you can and get plenty of rest in between each bout of doing the minimum. You have to give this stuff its best chance and you know it's worth it, so be kind to yourself, keep safe (I think the wind has dropped a little here, I hope it has with you) and I am thinking of you, very very much.

Morning cris

Just popped on to wish you well.
I am so glad that week is over for you .....until the next time anyway.
Hope you can now have a good few months where you feel a little better.

We have high winds here too, But we are quite sheltered where I am.
Hope you managed to sleep and today as DD says try to do as little as possible.

Take care, sending my usual hugs (((((()))))))) and a pot of tea.
Love julie x

Hi Cris, so once again the grim week of treatment has come to an end and you have the rumo appointment etc in the pipeline. Hope the side effects abate quickly and the benefits start to kick in. I'm sure the girls will forgive you and just be glad to have you back and feeling a bit more yourself again.

Hi Cris

Just popping in to send a few buckets of energy and a hope that you feel less 'wished' soon. What a lovely word, but not one we like to hear too much.

Am sure you do need to recharge the batteries a little and am relieved to hear you didn't attempt the sale today. Really hope you do feel some benefits soon and that all the other hurty bits are encouraged to ease off too. Well we can hope! We could always threaten them with a bit of voodoo?

Hope you taking it as easy as you can today and I will even allow a bit of armchairing today, you surely deserve that small concession. Hang in there.
love and restful hugs ((( )))
Chris

ps yep we had the awful storms last night too. Me living in a corner gets the tail end of the tornados so found half a tree and someone elses' recycle box on me front porch today! :shock: Fortunately me shed roof is still hanging on though.

dreamdaisy

Still thinking of you. DD

Hi Cris,
I do hope you have managed a few snoozes today. I am chuffed that you are getting a lumber support, I am sure it will help you.
Everything is nicely flooded here but the wind has dropped thank goodness. It has not been a nice welcome to the world for the new lambs in the next door field. :sad:
Not so sure about the orange blood though. Now if you had said blue well.......a curtsy would have been the order of the day.

Where are your gloves lady?
Many hugs always,
Lv, Ix

Morning skezier, I hope you had as good a day as possible yesterday and that you are feeling a little better/brighter today. The wind has almost gone here, it's much calmer than yesterday and very mild. I am not sure what your plans are but I hope some rest will be involved at some point! I am thinking of you. DD

Hi All,

Sorry i couldn't get the dongle to work at all... even threatening it didn't help last night....

its not been the best of days cus i seem to have taken the feeling of being wished to whole new levels this time. Still the temperature has stabilized.. except for a bit too high here and there

Maybe i have yet to get the handle of this hyperthermious thing eh?!

The last drip effected both the pregabalin and the veins so I got bad side effects and vasculitis so this one has been kinda as so far except for itchy veins on the ones that collapsed I am much better than last time... but the endless cold is now on a 3 day re-infection thing.....

Very tired but glad that's all cus well 5 days of feeling that ill is so nice to get rid of

Hope you are all doing ok and will shove this through before the dongle forgets its sole purpose in life!

You all take care and will improve at getting back to you, promise.

Thanks again, love and some ((((( )))))) Cris xxx

Oh I its not the best weather to be born into is it? we got high winds and cold gloom and they come out of 101 degrees into this.... Bless them they don't half sound worried in their bleats.......

My neighbour has taken hers in to lamb but the last batch are all out now and they do look fed up in between eating and sleeping.

Yep the back brace might help... could be handy for shearing and hooves as well

Hope the mtx is being kind to you? xx
