    Just so's you know I'm still thinking about you....and wishing stuff could be different.

    Thanks for the ropes. It makes it a bit tricky supping my tea but, hey, where there's a will....

    ....some drought we are having... even Haz wouldn't stay out in this! Rain and more rain and thunder as well....

    Had a bad day yesterday... updated the blog for both me and Alba and sid its like walking through a marsh... it is you know, every foot step is hard and you have to think what your feet are doing.....

    Does anyone else find them selves having to think '[pick your feet up and step forward'? Its like its no longer an involuntary thing and every step is painful just now.

    The doctor did ring last night.... late as well.... Thats a good doc eh?

    Anyway they are changing the metoclopramide for cyclizine... had that before and it does work with other problems I was then having and I don;t remember any side effects but the gord may not like them...

    A 2 week trial to see if that would let me take the 20mg oxy's.....

    Thats a bit of good news eh?! The 20 does work but the sickness is atrocious.... had a dog called that once :wink: He was as well :lol:

    Have updated the blog and Alba's bt has a pic of how big she has got :D Its all at

    http://skezier.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/arthritis-alba-and-all/

    If your interested. had a bit of a moan though... bad day yesterday to say the least. Tis hard sometimes isn;t it?

    I do try and keep positive but the pain is not a good friend at all eh?!

    I took the pregabs and the oxy's together last night.... they said not to but the combination meant I slept better! Alba has lodged a formal complaint as she didn't get her first bottle till 8.30 :shock: :shock: and afer that I went back to bed and slept again... I am just so tired.....

    Still she ate most her creep food (cus I was late I think) and that will help get that rumen working and hard feeds will mean less bottles :D

    Two goals them :lol: be able to dope out t the 20 and get Alb's on hard feed :lol::lol:

    Sorry I didn't get back yesterday I was just so tired but the pregabs means I was awake enough to moan on the blog... though I did up date Alba's bit as well.....

    This knee is massive, locking up, tight and grinding.... roll on the x-ray and i wonder what it will show :lol::lol::lol: Good isn;t it when all we are doing is seeing how bad its got :lol:

    Mind it might b something a tkr will sort.... I wonder if I can get on the list cus it wont go through the rumo :D:D:D

    Never thought he would become this unmovable us he is a nice guy... he must stop talking about me in such a negative way thogu... going to have to talk to him ......

    Will practice my assertiveness on the horses owner.... mind Toni (Oh she ia a treasure and has got hold of a 2nd hand rollater fr me :D Cus its mind it can be used in the fields here and so will help!!!) has come up with an idea about the water ..... hope it will work as well.....

    have dragged in a tea bucket so one for all of you as well as a ((((( ))))) for them that want and them that don't. I am struggling a bit just now but there is some hope with the new pills eh?!

    You al stay warm, dry if you have this weather and cool if you got sun. Love and more thanks Cris xxx

    Dear Cris

    I am sorry to hear that yesterday was an especially bad day for you. YES, I have to think about putting one foot in front of the other when walking outside. :roll: I tripped when out yesterday and nearly fell...... I was pushing my bike and hardly dare to think what could have happened as I was on a busy, narrow corner and I was very near the kerb. IF I had fallen it could have been into the road. :o :shock: That gave me another wake up call to not take my mind off my feet when walking .... but of course one does.

    I shall be in touch, my lovely, a reply is most overdue on my part. :oops: You are most certainly in my thoughts. We have had lots of rain today and although we need it around these parts, nothing is as easy when working out in the damp and rain and even very heavy rain like it was yesterday here. I have updated myself with your blog and Alba is so cute. You have done so well being her mum. :D

    Lots of love
    Elna x

    I don't usually need to think but, unless it's eg a hospital floor which is totally level, I do have to watch where I'm putting my feet all the time. One unforeseen stone or cobble send me wobbling out of control.

    I do wish they could do something for your poor back. I know backs, unlike hips and knees, aren't easily sorted but things are so tough for you.

    I wish I could send something more useful than a few of these (((((())))) but I'm right out of ideas just now. And a smidgen or two of love.

    Hi Elna,

    Replies are never late my friend s no worries. The last fall will have shaken you up a lot so just go easy for a bit longer yet but interesting about you also having to remember to pick up your feet. Wonder if its a neck thing?

    I really do have to think about it every step I take....

    Alba is a absolute treasure and i am so glad she came to me... I knew the first time I picked her up she and I had bonded, funny isn't it? She used to look like she could have been inside Wish when she stood next to her but really she has grown and still sweet with loads of scritch places on her neck and shoulder.

    Elna she has made me get up and keep going as the back is so bad just now all i really want to do is curl up and cry... hell it don;t half hurt but Alba has done me such a huge favour eh?

    Bre has got tamer as well with all the visits I now make to the shed.... mind she does also like stealing Alba's food and I get temped to shut the door on her ..... not a nice mummy :lol::lol::lol:

    Never will. You go steady my friend. Love and a ((((( ))))) xx

    Hi Sticky,

    A hug is worth a lot when your struggling I promise you. I fear slippery looking floors now and I more shuffle than walk.... I really have just got huge back pain for now and its not backing off either... maybe I can finsd a way of not trying to turn over in my sleep.. that's whats upsetting it as it ens up being laid on cus I can;t turn and that kicks it off... the neck, well thats just relentless but the lumber should be burning out and yet its worse than ever....

    Its those nerves that are unimportant eh?! I wish they would or could do something.

    Right your tea is with Slurps and Alba has you a sarnie and a blanket she wove her self from her sisters hair..... He has the costume on so has some ((((( ))))) and a bounce xx

    Thanks Rose,

    Alba has put in a request that I don;t keep her waiting.. think Wish wrote it as its in copperplate and I am sure Alba couldn't have learnt to do that this quick.... :lol::lol:

    You get a good night and I only got one more feed to go....

    ((((( )))))'s coming back to you and a hope tomorrow will be a better day for you as well. Cris xx

    Talking of picking up your feet... just gone over the electric fence, got a foot caught and bang straight down on the knee.... might have done some good actually after the initial sick making leg useless pain wore off its not half as hurty......

    was that the cure... hey now it has reason to swell! :lol::lol::lol:

    Cris, please forgive me for not being around too much lately.

    I know what you mean about the knee. They just won't do mine either but it's just so bad now. The last tests and scans shows there is no cartridge left and there is ligament damage and yet I'm still too young!

    The picking up your feet thing I think is the hips and knees not bending properly as you walk (or try to step over electric fencing). I have nearly done the same and just managed to stop myself going fully bum over boobs thanks to one of the horses lovely bum and tail. Just as well they are used to me stumbling about and dropping crutches and things lol

    The acupuncture on my knee did help a bit but it doesn't last long. Can you give it a go?

    Give all the animals a hug from me and a big hug to you too, along with a good ole cuppa to warm the cockles.

    Hi Fol's

    No apology ever needed flower we all have times when we don't or can't post or pm.

    The lodgers were nowhere near the fence sadly otherwise a tail or bum might have been available... though as there are only the two 3 year olds and the two 2 year lds here just now I don't know what they would have done had I done that to them...... kinda thinking best not try :lol::lol:

    A good kicking might not be what i need just now... i think Flo would kick but Primmy possibly wouldn't... Blossom would think I was a predator and Ivy... well her brain cell is in the chicken unless Legs has it again..... :wink:

    Hope your okish and leaving you a refill from the bucket and a ((((( ))))) xx

    Hey watching Alba out in the paddock with her two sisters and she is not looking for me too badly..... eating a bit of grass as well but you know something her legs have grown over night... she really wasn't this leggy yesterday!

    I hurt from head to toe... must get that script made up and try the new tablets eh? Will have ti get fully dressed for that and just now... well it took me over 2 hours to get the socks and boots on so the rest I have kinda left but must do soon and get that script.... kinda important eh?!

    The back and neck... Not a good day.

    Got a bit of sun though :D You all have a reasonable day. Cris xxx

    Hi Elizabeth,

    we had a magic wand on the forum... Iris got it but I broke it turning my ex into this small worm like frog thing :lol::lol:

    I am a bit less sore than yesterday and also a lot more careful negotiating the electric fence....

    Got the new tablets and will take them a couple of days before I try the 20mg's but with luck that will all help cus I am so sick of pain..... I know aren't we all?

    ((((( ))))) and tea my friend and thanks for the bigger font, the eyes are not so good again..... I hate the optic neuritis as well :roll: Cris xx

    oh some pics of this lot now as well,

    Just dropping into your thread Cris to say thankyou so much for posting on mine when you are struggling so much. You and Your "menagerie" have been doing a wonderful job keeping me company in my black pit and I am very grateful! Deer et all now on the way back to you with the everlasting tea flask, extra large CDM (securely padlocked out of reach of the deer) and lots of ((()))s.

    Hi Tilly,

    he is a heller for stealing CDM isn't he? I fancy that's Wish's teaching :wink:

    I must go do evening duties but before I go I promise me and these are always there for you no matter how rough I feel flower. You hang in there and the Deer will return later... he is gong to help me get Alba crated again as she has been out and about all day and Wish has a placard saying 'Cage the Lamb' now..... she gets used as a stand by toy and climbing frame :lol:

    More hugs and hopes my friend Cris xx

    Leaving you a big mug of tea, several packets of biscuits (so's you at least get one or two) and few more of these (((()))) Take care, my friend.
