Rita,

What a bloody nightmare. Nothing worse than not sleeping.

I really do hope you get the medication fixed out and get a bit of peace at night.

It's terrible being up in the wee sma hours when everything is quiet. The mind can race away with crazy thoughts.

Hang in there Rita.........and give those Docs a load of verbal when you do see them.

Tea or Coffee

Porridge or Cereals. Scrambled Eggs, Toast. Bacon Roll.

Morning all.

Breakfast ready.

Busy day ahead. Getting an early start.

Have a good day ya all !

That you Stephen I am still awake and at my witsend what to do next.?

I think I will be very careful at what tablets I take now. I would not wish anyone to go through what I am.

time for aother cup of tea.

I'M VERY WELL THANK YOU.

There is nothing the matter with me
I’m as healthy as can be.

I have arthritis in both my knees
and when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.

My pulse is weak and my blood is thin
but I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.

Arch supports I have for my feet
or I wouldn’t be able to be on the street.

Sleep is denied me night after night
but every morning I find I’m alright.

My memory is failing, my head’s in a spin
but I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.

The moral is this, as my tail I unfold
that for you and for me, who are growing old.

It’s better to say I’m fine, with a grin,
then to let folks know the shape we are in.

How did I know that my youth was all spent?
well – ‘my get up and go’ just got up and went.

But I really don’t mind when I think with a grin
of all the great places my feet have been in.

Old age is golden; I’ve heard it said,
but sometimes I wonder as I get into bed.

With my ears in the drawer, my teeth in a cup,
my eyes on the table until I get up.

E’re sleep overtakes me, I say to myself?’.
‘Is there anything else I could lay on the shelf?’.

When I was young, my slippers were red,
I could kick my heels right over my head;

When I was older my slippers were blue,
but still I could dance the whole night through.

Now I am old my slippers are black,
I walk to the stove and puff my way back.

I get up each morning and dust of my wits,
and pick up the paper and read the ‘Obits’;

If my name is still missing I know I’m not dead,
so I have a good breakfast and go back to bed.

Morning all, frosty here this morning, but the sun is out so looks like another lovely day.
Rita, so sorry you didn't sleep, maybe you can manage a nap during the day.
Why not go back and see your GP, tell him that you need to get medication sorted as you cant put up with this any longer, it is making life miserable for you.
Like the poem Dermot, made me laugh but thinking about it a lot of it applies to me.
Stephen, thanks for breakfast, can I have scrambled egg and toast please.

Hope everyone has a good day today, enjoy whatever you are doing.
Go with God and in good health.

the sun is shirning here but it is cold

just debating weather to go shoping
i need bread and milk and some veggy
im cooking a nice leg of lamb for dinner that cost £15
daughter want half with me

why dus meat have to be so exspenive

Hi Shelly, leg of lamb, that sounds like a real tasty lunch for you and your family, do you have room for one more?
I cant understand why meat has to be so expensive, cos the farmers dont get a good price for it, so someone is makinmg a nice profit.

Hope you enjoy your lamb Shelly.
Enjoy your day.

Beautiful day here sunny and WARM.
Rita i'm so sorry your ears are still bothering you, it must be dreadful and not being able to sleep must make it worse for you.
Dermot, very funny.
Hope you are all well

Hi Everyone ...

Poor Rita....I think you said you were going to see a ENT consultant a few weeks ago
did you Rita ?
In the mean time I would go back to see your GP and tell him that you cant take any more its depressing you , maybe bring your appointment quicker .
I have had Tinnitus too not as bad as you have mentioned Rita, as I have had 15 ear operations and now and again it comes back its like an orchestra in my ears.....but my advice would be to cut out Caffeine & salt for now and get ENT consultant to give you a hearing aid as that will block most of the Tinnitus as it will make everything else around you louder from the hearing aid ....
Your medication could well be giving you that Tinnitus .....so doctors it is RITA.

Anyone else need Dr Bean ?????? LOL


I have just got up and havent had my walk yet I dont feel like it today so I'm skipping outside instead !

Shelly ....I would love some of that lamb ...hmm can smell that Mint from here ..come to think of it I cant say I have ever seen lamb in the USA .... hmm next time I go out out I'll see if i can find it.

Stevey .....I'll have the Porridge please ......thank you ..

Cath ...glad Gav is making progress

I got a chicken curry for dinner ,but that's a long way off as I haven't had my lunch yet !

I think Pat would like some of my Curry....wouldn't you Pat ?

Marilyn,

Stevey ! I have not been called that for years
A friend always called me that. His last words to me were....' Hope I don't see you for a long time, Stevey boy' Meant in the nicest possible way. We'll meet on the big mountain in the sky......In a looooooooong time I hope.

Catherine,
Glad to read that your brother is making progress.

Maddie......Still got your cough ?

Soon be time for tea. I'm rather peckish tonight. Can't survive just on the fruits of love. ROFL

An evening chuckle


An Old Chap boards a very busy bus. Can't get a seat.

While standing his walking stick slips and he nearly falls.

A young lad of about 9 helps him, then says,

'If you had fitted a rubber on your stick, you wouldn't have accidents'

'Yes!' says the Old guy,

'And if your dad had done the same I would have a bloody seat'

Thats a good un Stephen, I laughed my head of at it.

I hope everyone is o.k, I know poor Rita is still suffering bless her, but I hope it improves soon Rita.

home from work!
Stephen I thought of you when I was watching the news because there was a Professor Fluffy on the news trying to encourage children to go to university when they grow up.
Yes please Marilyn I would like some of your curry!
Cath glad your brother is making progress

Hi everybody, I've been out most of the day and after I got home and sorted my son out - hubby was in. His lappy is acting up so he nicked mine, I've had to wait until he went for his bath before I could get on here.

I'm really pleased about your brother Cath, you must be elated to see him gain enough strength to fight off the infection. Sounds like he's doing really well.

That's a strange carry on with your nephew Mo, I hope they get it right this time.

Rita, I'm so sorry to hear you feel so bad, have you been to the doctors today? You shouldn't have to suffer like that.

Liked the poem Dermot, paints a pretty picture of old age! As I'm only 30 I've obviously never experienced any of those things.

LOL at your joke Stephen. Did it make you feel young again to be called Stevie?

Patricia,

Glad someone thinks of me .

Yes ! Fluffy Paws has connections of the intellectual kind.

Not that anyone would admit to knowing him. He has caused a few Red Faces in his time.

University.....my gift to my grandchildren......apart from inheriting my good looks and great modesty.....was some cash invested for their University education. Hellish to have to plan so far ahead.
