Hello, thank you all for your kind messeges; things have been going as well as expected and a lot of progress seemed to be coverd. Then, they had an unexpected call from the hospital; the timeing couldn't have been worse. Brian's 87 year old father, who has recently been addmitted into a nursing home, has just had a major stroke , and it is touch and go whether he'll be able to pull through. He is in the large, local hospital, which isn't far for them to visit, but is the last thing that Brian needed to cope with. It dosen't seem fare that yet anoter medical problem has hit them. Oh well, thats life and things are never really fair, so we just have to hope for everyone's sake that things don't drag on too long, for everybody's sake!
My arthritis is quite achey at the moment. I have to go to the
health centre for a blood test tomorrow!
Love Suexxx

    I'm not surprised you're feeling stiff and achey, Sue. It'd be surprising if you weren't given all you've been going through. I'm also sorry about the latest bit of bad news. Please try to rest up a bit and I hope the blood test is OK.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi Sue

    it never rains but it pours :roll:

    Your poor Brian.

    he must be beside himself with worry 87 years ans a major stroke. Mind you as you know some people really bounce back after a stroke let's hope he is one of those. Fingers crossed :wink:

    You take care your extra aches could be being exacerbated by worry.

    Love

    Hi, Thank you for the replies. Things are settling a bit for my niece, but her elderly father in law has had a serious stroke and is not expeted to pull through. Can you believe it? I know it's never a good time to have an elderly perent ill, but this timeing couldn't be worse, still at least its happened whilst Brian is getting councelling, so hopefully they will help him through.

    I've got over my UTI, no symptoms but have to give another, as they've found an infection, but need to check I've had the right antibiotic - it seems to be gone though, thank goodness. :wink:
    Love Suexxx
