Thank you Sylvia <3

At the moment it is excrutiatingly painful :-(

I thought I was doing well as I managed to get a soft pair of shoes on but the moment I stood up and my toe touched the side of the shoe I had to take it off again.

I think I have an old pair of slippers somewhere I will dig them out in a little while and cut the side out so that nothing touches - that should do the trick I hope, then I can just about manage to hobble just using my heel :-\

You might just have to do as little as possible .... moving only for necessary things like going to the loo or to bed. A least for the next couple of days.


Can your OH do any cooking???


Have you got any painkillers you can take?

Don't worry Sylvia - I will be good and hubby will do anything that is needed :-)

I am sure it will be O.K. to hobble on if I can get the slippers sorted

Wonder breakfast Sylvs.....thank you........yummy.


Poor Dea.......the advice given you is sound stuff and I can't add anything to it. I can, however, make you a nice cup of coffee and make sure that you don't move too far. I'll carry a tray over with your meal on it. <3



Lovely day, could do with some horticultural advice on the dark side.

See you later ~~~~

Thank you Cynthia - that is very thoughtful of you <3 <3

I found some lovely comfy cotton beach shoes and have cut the side out so at least I can manage a hobble now :-)

Grand-daughter won't be pleased though as they are one of her favourite pairs of my 'dressing up' shoes that she likes to totter about in :-(

Ouch

Dea I know that is painful as I have broken my little toe twice.


The first time was when I chased the milkman round the cot and I caught the toe on the leg of the cot.

( I needed to pay him.)

A was 6 months old. My toe was sticking out at 90 degrees so had to go to the hospital.

I had to use crutches.

Walking on crutches and carrying 6 month old is not easy.

I did it again when V was 6 months old.

Did not bother with crutches.

I was very careful when J and S reached 6 months.

I found I was ok if I kept it flat but if I twitched it was agony.

Ooo LK - I hope I don't do it twice - once is enough!!! :-D

Did the milkman give you a lift to the hospital? - I bet it took a long time as those milk floats are SO slow ;-) :-D

Dea Xxx

Welsh speaker/translator required??

Looks as though it may be sorted Det......otherwise I would have alerted our Viv but she has gone somewhere I fink.



I am a little confused LK. Chasing the milkman round the cot????? ooooerrrr.



Hope the pain soon goes Dea.........take it easy.



Nice day today but the wind was cold..........brrrrr......

You did not join us for lunch Det - You would have been very welcome !!!

Dea Xxx

That's kind of you Dea. Thank you.

If there is any left I might snaffle some for the evening meal ;-)

I can recommend the Chicken Karage as a 'take-away ' eaten cold ! - a little hoi sin dip makes it truly wonderful !!!

Dea Xxx

I will make you the starter we had for lunch to go with it ! - Portobello mushrooms, drenched with olive oil and baked in the oven, then topped with goats cheese and lots of pepper and put under the grill - served on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce drizzled with the olive oil and mushroom dressing......................

Enjoy !!!

Dea Xxx

He rang the doorbell and I needed to pay him Cynthia.

SO - you didn't actually chase him around the cot then - you chased around the cot to get to him ?????

That does sound a little better LK !!! ;-) :-D

Dea Xxx

Evening all :-D

Hi Det........'tis nice to see you. :-D


LK? - I'll believe you! ;-)


Nice weekend Gins?

Dea

Can I not leave you alone for just one day! Hope the dinky is feeling better


Nice weekend thanks Cyns although I have had pain in my left wrist for about a week and driving all those miles has seen my wrist swell up to twice the size :-S

I guess I need R.I.C.E
