Hi folks.
Just wanted to let you know I'm finally starting to improve.
I think the depo injection is kicking in at last.
Plus this weather helps my joints ease up.
I actually went for a short stroll today :D
I've mainly been sitting our I'm the garden though.
Sorry I've not been online much but assume I've been there for any and all pocket duties.
Got lots we have to do before we go on our hols on saturday, so I might not be around much till then either.
However, if they have free wifi I'll be online at some point through the holiday in Spain.

Best wishes to everyone :D

    That is good news mate, keep up the positive thinking and I am sure you will be 'fit' to travel. Pace yourself beforehand tho - don't go and blast it all away by doing summat silly: I know what you're like. :wink: DD

    I haven't been erm... Erm... Bits of weeding in the garden when I told a pal I'd be having a snooze :oops:
    I'm resting now, and I'm sure Janet won't let me be too silly..

    Just been to the docs, got some diazepam for my trip..
    I'm a happy chappy, now I know I can rest easy on the journey.

    Thanks folks :D

    great news Tony that the injection has finally started to work, :D

    try not to overdo it (I know that's hard when you're feeling quite good) as you want to be at your best when you are on holiday :wink:

    love Julie PF x

    I'm very, very pleased for you, Tony, just don't get carried away while you're in Spain.

    Hasta la vista, amigo. (In translation, for the Mods, 'See you later, friend.')
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    well, the rain had finally hit here, and boy could I feel it on it's way lol..
    My steroid injection has been great so far, hope it lasts forever.. Yeah right :roll:
    For two days on the trot me and Janet have been for short and slow walks, it's hurt but I don't care, at least there is a reason for it hurting.. I've also relented recently and increased my fentanyl patch back up to fifty.. I think those and the nice weather have enabled me to do at least something after months of being laid up.. Joints are sore, but I'm happy that my muscles ache if that makes sense...
    My hands, wrists and elbows are doing ok.. I'm a happy boy and it's all just in time for the holiday.
    We are expecting more rain tomorrow so things might not be as good as the past few days but at least I managed what I could.

    I've been to the docs and got some diazepam for the coach trip, no way I could manage it without them, even with stopping over in le frog land.. :D

    Thanks to everyone for the support.. It's a huge help.

    Hey Tony,

    just to wish you 'bon voyage' and to say hope you have a great break away.

    What does Ra think of all this? I do hope you've laid in plenty of stocks of the fresh salmon, rump steak and double cream so that he is able to keep his appetite going whilst you abandon him!

    Have a wonderful time and enjoy the sun.
