    HI All

    a wonky Wonky reporting for PA duties :roll: :roll:

    things are not too brill for our Cris today, she's got the cold big time it seems, and she's spent most of today under the duvet (HOpefully not the chewed up one :shock: didn't know about that one!!!)

    She asked me to say thanks for every one of the messages, and that she can't tell you how the bones are really, since she's feeling so full of the cold yet again :roll:

    I've been assured that she's doing only the very minimal duties and retreating whenever possible to the warmth and comfort of the duvet. The miserable cold and wet hasn't helped. I did send littlelegs down to help out with evening duties, but I'm not sure (from the state of her on her return) that there was much 'helping' being done!

    hugs from Cris to you all ((()))

    oh this sodding cold...... its excelled its self this time.... spent all night feeling very feverish and then for that added bonus the fear or disquiet building to panic here an there all night....

    i have an over active imagination and honestly was so spooked all night i didn't really sleep till dawn and daylight :roll: tonight i have the light on cus its not all together left me all day... that sort of creeping fear thing..... should b able to stop it in its tracks but if i relax its still there.....

    guess i am not 100% by a long way eh?!

    cus i was awake most the night i was late waking up once the dawn arrived and well the plus side i got warmer and also the pins and needles are def less today... wont push it too far mind....

    did manage to sort out the hen house today as well but must have a go at her ladyship's feet.... but couldn't today as the cut in half thing makes bending to that degree too hard to do when you already feel sort of frightened....

    crazy kind of 24 hours eh?! :lol:

    thanks Wonky for the pa'ing and i know you said you would d some later and hope your not too cross with me....

    laving thanks an hugs to you all. Cris xxx

    After much thought I have decided that we should maybe set up a forum Quarantine area for those who should really not be worrying about posting stuff, either in the forum or in PMs, just concentrating on recovery. Skezier, you'd be top of the list. Please don't make that poor neck of yours - or any other bits - worse by feeling you must reply to us all. Just look after yourself for once. ((((( )))))


    Sticky that is a great idea, maybe post it on the forum so others can offer there support and are aware..xx

    ????? Oh Traluvie, my decorating days ended about 30 years ago. Skezier, the quarantine place will be a magic one where you can alter every little bit - colour, furniture, furnishings or have a totally outdoor one - just by the power of thought and instantly. Different people can be there together and it will be different for each of them - just how they want it.

    Mind you, I see you've escaped again, skezier, wild child that you are! I hope you're on the up, my love, but please go easy on yourself. Please?
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi Cris,
    I hope you had a better night’s sleep last night and the night lights helped. Keep Haz and co near you (as if you could stop them) and all will be well. :grin:

    Love the new decorations by the way lots of glitter I see!!! :lol:

    You take things slowly as promised and I hope the bloods come back improved for you.

    Hugs as always,

    Cris, I hope you are a little better this afternoon. Fever can make your imagination work overtime. I have slept with all the lights on at times, so I know how it feels. The dark nights don't help.

    I am sending a heated duvet to keep you warmand Izzy to protect you, she will cuddle up next to you and keep you safe. :grin:

    Big (((hugs)))

    hi Val, Sticky, I, and Suzy,

    well saw the gp today... understand why they wont operate at last :roll: knew all along really but needed it to be spelt out to loose that last bit of hope.....

    anyway the doc is writing to the ot i see next month (the appointment has come through at last :grin: 7th of dec) to see if they can come up with a neck and back brace......

    you have no idea how hard that is... for me.... its such a backward move....

    i have spent the last 30 years making the muscles as strong and even as i can.... its carried me this far and instead of thinking i have done well i am thinking i have actually given up.....

    feel so upset to lose that last bit o hope..... don't ask me why but i just feel i have lost the battle at last.

    maybe not the war cus i some stubborn maid!

    anyway i know about braces ..... before i had the decompression i was in one and couldn't do anything except stay upright.... it came over the hips and right up... big thick metal thing that i hated! i loathed it, detested it, ell you get the idea. after the op i had a light weight one for about 3 months before i threw it away and now....

    well it might be light weight eh?!

    the neck hasn't ever been caged and it don't like the collar so that will be more interesting... hey why not just stick me in a suit of armour and be done with it :lol: about as much mobility :lol: mind wouldn't like to fall in it :lol:

    she got blood out but it had to dragged out and i heard it kicking and screaming so getting a line in the week of hell will be even more rough cus since the phlebitis and the infection the veins in my arms are shift....

    Val i hope you got some sleep though as well as doing guard duty? it worked though and i was ok and slept well enough to wake in half light :grin: leaving you a ((((( ))))) and a cuppa xx

    Sticky hah! escaped again :lol: hey once i have my own specially fitted straight jacket i might be less able to get out of quarantine :lol::lol:

    guess its time Slurps got you a cuppa..... Haz is in his sit and acting like a mad thing so you have been warned.... hope you ok? xx

    I hey got to have glitter :lol: you remember when we pimped Page's splints? (Hi Sharon :grin: ) we going to have to pimp the contraption they are talking about sticking me in...... i vote flames and an axle grinder :lol::lol: really is such a backward move....

    can't shake that one you know.

    Sid and the manky drake are up for the dinner invite and might chuck in a badger or 2 if they don;t stop rooting up my fields :lol: now where is my book on how to make heffalump traps.....

    hope your doing k and the mtx thing is sorted and not had to go any higher? xx

    Suzy on the heated duvet... i nearly got one but then thinking about Haz's fetish of duvet shredding i got a bog standard over blanket... its a bit temperamental now a days though..... so .... i wonder if i got the duvet is it better maybe than the blanket?

    i have at least 2 and a blanket with a top anti dog devise so he could only chew it if he really got stuck in and he would 'dead' before he got that far :lol: i still haven't forgiven him for the feathers yet.....

    leaving a sachet for Izzy and hugs of course. xx

    sorry abut the earlier rant..... i got the dummy back in for now but it is hard to except this much set back to someone so fiercely committed to fighting it all the way...... the sheep need me and i need than so the back and neck will still find its not all their own way! hugs and love Cris xxx

    hi Suzy, Val and Sal

    thanks for being there... really am a bit down about this how ever stupid that is..... see i know its stupid :lol: they been telling me the necks beyond help for 5 years i think and yet..... :roll:

    its a bit better knowing you l will kick me up the back end as and when :wink:

    Suzy i think your words are good and Izzy and you have helped so much so don't put your self down! flower the site has many examples of how good your words are at helping and supporting folks.....

    thanks for the extra strength again flower... mine is a bit swamped at the min but a lot of that is the constant pain thing which is bad in all bits of you but for me the neck pain is the worst cus you can't rest it without cutting your head off :lol:

    leaving a hug for you and a little tin of gourmet pate for Izzy..... hope she likes that? xx

    Val ti kinda all thats left to try and the gp did say she doesn't know if such a brace as i need exists but someone might have a few ideas we just need to find out is it ot or someone else.

    i just have very bad memories of the last time i was in one... bit like being trust up like a turkey i imagine but this one could well be different and the neck one will certainly not be like my old back ones..... hell i hope they don't decide to do an all in one :lol:

    sulking a bit i just quietly say i shall keep the muscles no matter what :wink:

    hope you get a decent night flowr and leaving tea and a hug for when ever you wake up xx

    Sal its good to see you and hope your doing ok? hope the eyes are ok as well? i saw a coupe of post you have done today and will go check up on how your doing.

    had a long haul with this last neck dummy spit and well its not really going to back down in a hurry if at all which i find annoying.... or something :wink: its all to do with the fatigue and armchair duties....

    one wont stop the other has to :wink:

    tis good to see you and thanks flower. hugs and a cuppa with a tin of gourmet as well. xx

    Cris, where would we be without hope? It's kept you going and will do so again. The human mind is an amazing thing and you will come to terms with your situation but I don't deny how hard it is.

    I'm ok hun. Between anti tnfs, waiting for a chest clinic appt. The fatigue has hit me like a ton of bricks, had forgotten what it was like! The will is there but the energy isn't. Yesterday I slept in the afternoon and still felt exhausted. Always think am getting 'ill' again but of course it is the usual thing. Upped the steroids and they help with the pain but nothing else.
    C'est la vie! I need to deal with it!!
    much love
    xx
