Advice kinda needed......

skezier

Hi Joan,

Its certainly making its present felt today.... The slipped foal finished it off I think.... That's another reason I am sad but I kinda think she may have another one in there.... Twins would account for the slip eh?

I see the pain doc in June but they tend to leave the lumber alone... they tell me its gone way beyond their help.... I am on the scrapheap Joan and the only thing she does now is supportive therapy... but she might be able to do something... I will ask her cus she is very helpful.

Hope you and Sue have a good Easter and will send you some pics on the way out as well. ((((( ))))) and a bucket of stamina with a hammer in it and a police escort down the 303 Cris xx

oh blimey cris you poor love.

sorry the flippin discs are making you feel rubbish and the back too.
I guess you should leave the posts till another day but I expect you want them doing sooner rather than later.

I am sorry you are so down at the moment, a lot of it is frustration I guess too. You have lots to do and can't get it done. Wish I had a wand you could borrow.

Hope you get a good nights sleep and tomorrow you feel a tad (word from our weather women on tv :roll: ) better .

Stay strong......sending hugs ((((((((()))))))))) and positive vibes to you.

Always thinking of you
Love juliepf x

Cris,
i just want to wish you s happy easter and hope your are taking it a bit easier today
i had a good laugh at Barbara's vision of you cuddling a sheep in bed :shock: was it a full size one...
Maddie says she is available for duty should you need her (she thinks she is a sheep dog which is weird as she is a westie she has watched all the episodes of One man and his Dog i have a picture to prove it)

I hope you back settles down a bit although digging posts probably doesn't help

Can i come to your rave I promise to jazz up my crutch for the night.
i would ask to join the body boarding but there would be reports of a beach whale if i did. mind the thought of seeing me struggle to get up even made me laugh.

we all have down days and you certainly have enough to warrent one but i hope all the posts are helping to cheer "ewe" up.

Tracey (kisses from Maddie)

Hi Cris ~ wind is a bit cold today :sad: but love the sun.

sorry things still not good ~ not gettin any better for you ~ but sure you can beat it but the battle gets harder everytime

things not good today ~ been doing to much over the last few days ~ lots of pain and fatigue today ~ in bed this afternoon but still feel horrid
am tring to sort things out with OH ~ but will be a battle just like 'arthur'

i wake up every morning and say what is today going to be like ~ then the pain hits me and i know what its going to be like ~ a struggle up a very long and steep hill

what i cant understand is how i look forward to going to bed as i know what the mornings will bring :?:

Hi Julie,

Your right a decent bit of kip will help. The back went into hyper drive and I really am sick of it but then ant we all?!

Hope you had a decent day there and leaving you a ((((( )))))and a saffron cake with cream... tis good stuff if yo like it

The sooner I do the posts the sooner I can get the roof and frame up.... that's when it gets easy cus its just a case of nailing on the planks Oh and making them windows they can look out of as well Twill be very like the one I did for them there.... but.... a few bits have changed as it kinda needed improvements.... my vets say i didn't build them a shed... I built them a Wendy house Well Wendy house mark 2 will be a slow job but Bre can't be moved till she is a bit more settled so its ok.....

Coffee and another hug Julie. xx

Hi Tracey,

Course you can come to the rave... I would love one you know

Yep it did happen once....... she was a big adult sheep..... Wish as a lamb used to use the cat flap.... as she grew she couldn't but never really believed that....At nine months I was woken by this huge bag and commotion in the kitchen and found Wish spinning about with half the door on her back, head through the flap screaming she had a predator on her back.....

Got it off her calmed her down and ranted at her for the door and got her back out. Barricaded the door up with the available debris and went back to bed ...... was woken by Ilk pulling the pillow.... Then she jumped up on the bed and pined me down.....

I was there till I was rescued in the morning Spent what was left of the night with Ilk either snoring gentle or cud chewing..... She was 85kl when she was put down and a lot bigger back them.... oh it so hurt and there was nothing I could do.....

Oh and have never had a cat flap since

((((( ))))) to you and a chew stick for Maddie. xx


Hi Louise,

It was some cool wind eh?! Cold tonight as well now. Got the blanket warming the bed up and that will mean fighting for space..... with the cats and Slurp who creeps o it when I am asleep....

Oh Maid what is the answer to the fatigue thing? It hits me on the A30 so often and I did have to get a mate to drive home once time cus i was going to fall asleep....

Out of all the things this bone shift does the fatigue is the hardest cus you can't fight it and right there with you no matter how well i sleep I wake worn out.

Keep trying with your oh flower... its hard sometimes to get guys to talk to you. They are more reserved than women eh?

I do so hope you can get it sorted I really do.

When do you see doc H again? Keep a diary of pain and symptoms and maybe it will help to get him to thin of something to try? He is always willing to try and for that both of us must be glad eh?

leaving you a ((((( ))))) a warmer wind and the triples are the icecream shop next to the greengrocers and they are incredible... but very filling Cris xxx

Morning cris

Wendy house sounds good to me, sheep arent that tall

Hope you are feeling better today and are able to tackle the posts.

Thanks for cake and coffee Just gonna make another. (drink too much of it, must be addicted, havent got a beer belly got a coffee belly)

You take care
Hug and a coffee
Love Juliepf x

skezier

Hi Julie,

Oh there are much worse things to be addicted to You want another

Couldn't move again this morning so the posts are on hold for now but might have a go at the sheep fence if I can lift the pounder into the car....Got some friends coming to see them and its a bit like armageddon just now fence wise as the battery was low and I forgot the charged one so the fence failed and in went the cattle again..... Another reason to get them home... though they can't get in the shed and windows are at present wired up so Bre can't try and jump out.....

Hope your doing ok there and have a good Easter Monday ((((( )))))) and another coffee cus you got to have something Cris xx

Hi Cris
Happy Easter!Just a quick line, sorry you have all this pain again, I am on the search for some magic juice - wouldn't it be great a guzzle of it and pain disappears.
Off to work soon, but thoughtI would just let you know you arein my thoughts - you work so hard and in such pain - youre an inspiration to us all
Sending hugs to top the bucket up and Truda sends a lick as well!
Take care now
Cath

Hi Cris,
Oh lovey I'm so sorry you're in so much pain, if the pain clinic can't help with the lumbar is there anything else they can recommend? Keep asking they can't leave you like this.
My ribs are screeching this morning, I only got a few hours sleep as I'm so sore it feels like I should be black and blue all over them :sad: Nevermind, it won't last, and I'm expecting to 'decorate' the cast this evening with Orla's help he he
Take care Cris, rest up when you can Xxxx
Ps Breagh is gorgeous Xxx

Hello Cris,

Just to let you know I got the pics and she is indeed beautiful.

I am sorry you are in so much pain. I just wish some cure would come along and we would be free to live our lives.

Barbara's post about her dream made me laugh but it's not a bad idea!

Hugs
Elizabeth and Lucy loved pics too and sends her love

Hi Cath,

Oh I ma not so much an inspiration as a fool flower I just wont let it win cus I can't see that its part of me... its not and never will be..... so when I hurt it i kinda don't realize I hurt me :roll:

Besides its so bad now that it would take the rest of my life of me if it could.... I can't do that so we have a war.... Tis bee a long stale mate but me and it have renewed hostilities again and will have to see which backs down first......

I hope work goes ok for you flower and leaving a ((((( )))))) and a cuppa to go with you. Cris xx


Hi Poppy,

Sher is really sweet... very feral though and today she is having a collar on... got her a nice green one as none of my others have worn green and it would go with her face

How sad am I getting.....

What you think Blue booties next

Oh flower they stuck me on palliative care for the back years ago... be honest there isn't a lot they can do. Am already on 3 different pain killers and none of them weak and the only cure for it would be a replacement ...... Its juts it and I have lost the stale mate thing for a bit... one of us will back down and it may not know it but it will be the lumber that does

Glad Orla is going to get you re glittered now and how long for the results flower? leaving you sparkle, sequins and some reflective tape... she might find it useful ((((( ))))) xx


Hi Elizabeth,

Glad Lucy liked them to she is a real Shaun type isn't she? Long as she doesn't turn into Shirley.....

Hey a sheep on the bed really isn't all its cracked to be... promise Though Wish said if you would like to try she is on her way

Hope your knees are a tad better and leaving a ((((( ))))) and a hope flower. xx

Right I had better get my self fully dressed as just now I am some vision of beauty and can't go anywhere like this.... except round here cus with no neighbours its ok to.....

As I get madder as I gong to forget and go out like this......That could be the thought for the day but you never know I might have 2 thoughts if I am lucky......

dachshund

Hi Cris

Evening Cris

Sorry you have been feeling like the chick at the bottom of the pile. :sad: but pleased to hear that the deer is being "helpful" prompted into action by Miss L Legs!

And you say you could do with a sit on the garden bench? Well you do know don't you that the AC garden is magic and can be anywhere at all at any time. So you can just slip out of your door and be there, sitting on the bench in the sun, admiring the native cornish hedges, the burgeoning veg patch, with the deer (minus hammer) looking on.

Thinking of you lots.

Love and ((()))s

Cris there is no more room in my bed! hope she behaves and doesn't make your life difficult, I expect she will be following you about everywhere soon.

Hi Cris,
Well a lot of things have been going on at yours this week. Bre looks well and by the sound of things will fit in just fine. Wish will be glad of the company and maybe take her under her wing now. Sorry to hear the mare has lost her foal but as you say there may be another hiding there.
I was hoping the new bed with the back brace would have helped with the pain for you, but having to do all the post digging has taken things to a whole new level. I see bully and co have been up to their tricks again. How many animals can you fit into a Wendy house?????? :shock:
We have spent most of our time getting the garden back into shape, got some veg coming on now and had rhubarb and ice cream for tea. It looks like it’s going to be a good year for berries.
Hugs as always,
Lv, Ix

Hi Joan, Tilly, Elizabeth, Lynn and I,

Not so bad today and met up with some friends and they came and met Breagh...... who wasn't sure she wanted to be met

Mind one of them is strong and Wish was lame and not so happy so i gave her one of Gotleys pain jabs that she didn't get to have but.... the needle came off so she had to have the other one. and then my friend turned her as she was being silly and I am not so able today and I did her feet... she was still lame though so the vet will be seeing her and my worries have trebled cus i can not under any circumstance cope with that one! Not now, not so soon and not her,........ still it may not be that bad fora bit......

Bre is now wearing a collar.. he was very strong cus she was having none of it.....

She hasn't got the green one she has a very nice purple on e and it goes so well with her face I really am a sad sheep owner......

Hi Joan,

Right will get these posts in and he frame on and then... we hammer... and hammer.... and hammer... Hey I can do the top ones you any good at the low ones ((((( ))))) to you and Sue xx

Hi Tilly,

Oh flower i could do with a sit there and the deer doesn't need hammer and nor do I and miraculously the shed would be built in there eh? With Wish lame like this its more important to get them home but what Bre will make f it I don't know.. she does like looking through the windows and she is fascinated but not so keen on humans... well there has never been a reason for her to be eh?

We tamed the deer didn't we.... Cuppa for you on the bench and thanks for reminding me its always there/ ((((( ))))) xx

Hi Elizabeth,

She said its ok she will just sleep on you lambs climb on their mums backs sometimes and well mine think I am mummy and have that's what made Ilk sleep on me cus she didn't know big sheep didn't do it Or there again... Ilk had humour so many be she did know

It will take a bit of time but Bre will get better... she will... oh she will! ((((( ))))) xx

Hi Lynn,

Saw on another thread your not been too good so leaving you a get well draft, an anti flare draft (I drink them all the time but the jury is out as to do they work....) and a sleep well draft.

Hope tomorrow will be better fro you ((((( ))))) xx

Hi I your late tonight flowr and I hope your ok?

Oh you can get 4 cattle and 4 sheep one but not the human cus then the cattle panic..... Creep to the window and just get out and they do.... I never knew I could be so scary.......

Oh flower my lumber is just shift at the mo... I know I am not helping it but tis never going to stop so you just have to work through or round it but it was good to have help today it really was.

The back brace does help a bit and the new bed helps alot as since I have had both I have not woken paralyzed so that's a good thing eh?

Hope your doing ok with the mtx increase? 25 jabs are being kind to me this week but am so wished but that might not be the mtx

Hey how many animals can you fit in your oven

leaving you a ((((( ))))) and hope you get some sleep. xx

tillytop

Thanks for the cuppa Cris! Re the shed - we can get the hunky guys from the garden onto it! Why didn't we think of that before!

Sorry Wish is lame but do try your best not to worry about "what ifs" Cris. I have everything crossed that the vet can help when he sees her. I'm sure that Bre looks gorgeous in the new purple collar. I can just picture her, peering in the window at you! As you say, we tamed the deer so I reckon Bre will be a doddle in comparison

Thinking of you.

Love and ((()))s

Hi Cris ~ quick question ~ you on preg?? if so does it make you put on weight?? have put on fair bit since xmas and had tests to see if everyting else is ok and it is ~ so doc thinks it must be the preg

But I cant cope with putting on anymore ~ have a walking stick now cause my knee hurts ~(

am due to see DrH in june ~ not sure what he is going to do or say ~ I am praying that he doesnt suggest going back on methx ~ it made me feel so nausas last time ~ stuck it for 16months and the thought of it makes me want to cry ~ have told him this though.

hugs and love ~ warm sun back again for few days so hope you are enjoying it?

Hi Cris

Just calling in to say hi and hope the back eases off a little for you. I know the work schedule is kicking off for you if only those hammers were a little easier to swing! :roll:

I'm likin Breagh already, a sheep with attitude but hope she doesn't use it against you. Hope Wish is ok soon, I have my fingers permanently crossed for you and your brood. As do so many of us.

Been a bit awol lately :oops: so will leave a container of strength and bone healer along with the obligatory bestest fudge.
Hang in there flower. ((( )))

Hi Tilly, Joan, Loise, Chris and all,

It 5 posts now and taking shape.... its really taking shape and now I have incentive......

Its wonky (sorry wonky Miss l Legs has got the top straight but we can't level the floor.....) And it will always look like it was made by some fool who is challenged so much bone wise but it s going to work and its going to be a half decent thing when its done.... I have to believe that

The neck gave a belt just now and everything has gone wonderfully numb... numb I can live with Pins and needles are a bit repetitive but over all its all swollen but not hurting.... it will.....

Tilly the lads haven't turned up yet... hey maybe they did but the vision of me in a vest was too much for them... least i didn't borrow a friend flowery shorts.....

Will sit in the garden and leave you a cuppa ion the bench as soon as I got the last 3 posts up... I am really into it now cus it looks like a shed should at last and I have done the hard posts.... except one more end one..... Hugs and tea, and hopes, and wishes....

Oh Wish has the vet coming tomorrow and she will have a full mot bloods and all.....m the lameness Gotleys injection has helped with but we need a management plan and I would rather use corta vet than jump to the heavy ones...... we shall see...

For an added joke she is giving bre the once over... anyone up for sheep diving cus we choose a monster More Hugs Tilly. xx

Joan you got that hammer cus we going to nail the frame up before concreting the posts now... that way it will all fit! We will get this done now flower as long as my bones can hold for a week....

Mule isn't in foal, I am certain now so that's good cus as you know twins are very difficult.... Leaving you tea and a ((((( ))))) and a bucket of nails.... xx

Louise Oh flower I am putting on weight any way now a days... For me its the payback of years of seige dieting and yoyoing up and down.... I must get a hold of it though but its getting harder and harder to get it off.....

I not sure in my case its the pregabs? I guess it might be but with me its a lot to do comfort eating and the fact our national food is so fattening eh?

I hope things are okish for you? Hey I see doc h in June as well..... I see him at B though. I don't know what he will do with me, either let me stay n 25 mtx or do as he threatened and stick me on palliative and 20.....

He and another doc H have to decide about making a permanent line in as well... hell that one is a bit scary if i am honest....

leaving you a ((((( ))))) and a coffee and yep the sun... I am well into the 'does the mtx make me blotch' exercise.....and you know what ... it might hang in their maid. ((((( ))))) again xx

Chris Oh she had attitude..... She does use it to but she is still the not so proud owner of a lovely purple collar... and I know a bit about spin the sheep

With the vet giving her the once over tomorrow.... well... could be interesting so thanks for the energy..... I really will need it!

Hope your doing ok and yep the shelves are filling with F's and F's Shame you can't have a % of the sales eh?

Leaving a tanker load of ((((( ))))) and a hope that your okish and just hang in there./ Love and another ((((( ))))) This lot cus mummy fell asleep xx

Right back to the posts.... only 3 to go and it really is a sense of achievement ...... I wasn't sure I could and well still haven't cus the posts are just the start

Leaving a bucket of hugs for all that need them. xx

tillytop

Hey Cris - I'm well impressed with progress on the shed! Sorry the lads didn't turn up - they probably ended up stopping at the pub for a "quick half" on the way. Will have to have strong words with them. Mind you, sounds as if you are doing a brilliant job without them - wonky floor or not!

Really hope the vet visit goes well tomorrow Cris. Will be thinking of you.

As for the sheep diviing - well I'm up for it but not sure I won't be scared of monster sheep when it comes to it!

Garden is lovely today - cuppa on bench for you when you're ready.

Love and ((()))s,

Hey Cris

Haven't you done well with that shed building despite no help from the promised lads. :roll:

It will make such a difference to have your gals nearer but I do wish you weren't having to do this all on your own!

Sending you some iced lemonade cause the sun has strength behind it, and a cautionary word not to overdo it :!: you still in those lovely shorts?

Thanks Tilly, I am sure they will turn up and it's already wonky so it don't matter if they worse for ware

Still really numb.... can't really feel the skin all the way down my back.... how much payback have I bought

Be moaning later but for now..... long as the legs hold me and the arms work I shall get back to it.... the Deer is ready with his hammer cus we are going to frame it with in an hour.... I love optimism Tea and trams? (((((( ))))) Cris xx

Hi Iris,

Tis so good to see you and leaving you a tanker of strength and hope and a knee draft... and you want some of this wonderful numb stuff?

You know I have learned ... they don't need to be 25" in... they only need to be around 18 and then cut the pole to length.... took me 2 poles to work that one out..... :oops:

Oh the shorts..... as good as the duck in pink slippers

I know I am over doing it flower but Wish has worried me and bre needs taming... if I can..... and that would all be helped by bringing them home eh? besides i got a lamb in mind......

Possibly in Bre..... :shock: something the vet does need to check.... cus that's why she was being made mutton and she has been covered......Mind he will also have ultra sounded her...

There is some strength in that sun flower and the experiment is coming along nicely..... I did think earlier that the shorts needed to be cut down a bit more and the vest needed to go.. now that really would be a scary vision

So good to see you and leaving a ton of ((( )))'s and a very nice strawberry tasting draft of extra strength knee go.... I wish eh... xxx
