General Chat

Afternoon everyone

a bit breezy today and showery, one minute blue sky, next rain.

I recieved a cert yesterday from Lancashire RO, ordered it online Thursday evening, how's that for service.

Agatha there is a Tesco store 10 minute walk from me so if I need anything in a hurry I pop along. I don't get my weekly shopping from there as it's only a small store but it's handy for milk, bread etc.

The wind here is now a hurrican I am not kidding it is bending the trunks of trees in half. and you can hear the whistling of the wind among the leaves, If any one of the six trees falls it will go on witherthe parked cars or the flats.

The times I have dance to that tune.

Rita,

NOT a GAY Gordon,

Just a HAPPY Gordon ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

I've got a freind was surname is GAY!
Hi Maddie! We wondered where you got to! I'm losing faaith in hospitals. Why are people so inefficeint? :S
Just been speaking to my sister and b.i.l. They're coming down the week-end so I'll catch up with them at some point.

Maddie,

You were posted as missing................welcome back
It's a bummer when the knees are not 100%
Pyhsio is fine particularly if it's just muscular, if it's the cartliage that's the problem Physio wont do much good.
It's maybe an old wifes tale but it does work.........
Cod Liver Oil Capsules......take one every day without fail...and it will help bad joints. It's worth a try.

My god you lot can chat for England, Scotland and NZ, I have had three pages to catch up on. lol

Thank goodness you are both o.k Maddie, it's strange how we do miss friends when they don't post for a while.
What a flippin nuisance when the hospitals lose patients notes. I bet K was well cheesed of.
Surely Physio will only aggravate his problem. It seems to me that they should do an exploratory op to find out whats causing his problems.
Three of my clan have all had exploraties done, the only one who they couldn't help was my daughter. But they did diagnose her Rheumatoid Arthritus, by eliminating other problems for her.

It sounds like the wind and rain has been covering most of the country. It's still blowing a gale here at the moment, and we had showers earlier.

~~~~~~~~~~to everyone, so that I don't leave anyone out.

Ill have to try that Stephen- not that I've got knee problems. I got to the Chiro once every 6 weeks becuase last year I did something to my hip. Something locks up!

RA can be diagnosed by blood. many of the illness can. PMR is done that way as well.
I get trouble with my knees now and again but mine is weight. I am putting it on. all these tablets dont help..

For Sunday TV it has been one sided. if you enjoy football or Mortor racing you must have had a great day, for people who like the relgious programmes you must have had a great day even the Political progames this morning was on religion I watch and sing along with Songs of Praise on a Sunday. but that was more a commentary on how it use to be for class asembley. The old songs were not sang. the new ones where,
why do they do this ?

I feel I have been short changed today .with all these programmes.

Maddie poor K must be pulling his hair out, not knowing which way they are going to go with him, is so frustrating.

Maddie,

My knees are buggered up. Years of carrying heavy packs did most of the damage, coupled with them getting frozen solid at times.

I have little or no cartlidge left in my knees and don't have enough Synovial fluid to lubricate the joints.

I take Cod Liver Oil Capsules but also exercise the muscles without putting pressure on the joints. The muscles are the 'Shock Absorbers'
If the muscles are in poor nick the joint takes a hammering.

No easy answer.

A friend had his knees shattered and was told by the 'experts' he would never ,walk,run or climb again properly. He proved them wrong. Guts, grit and determination saw him through.....and yes, Davy takes Cod Liver Oil Capsules as well.

Evening friendlies,
been a blowy day down here too. Sunny and warm though so not all bad.
Maddie I really feel for K. One of my knees is wrecked due to a fall I had 5 years ago and sometimes I could cry with the pain despite taking tablets daily, I hope they can do something for him.
I love Catherine Cookson as well and have all her books in hardback now, they were a special offer 5 or 6 years ago (maybe more) and came out once a fortnight at the newsagents together with a magazine about her and her life. She had a very hard upbringing which I think is mirrored in some of her books.
Hope everyone is well
<3 <3

Well washing certainly blew dry here today. Unfortunately it has also taken some of the larger plants too. I have just battled with my climbing rose Golden Showers. It was almost to the ground but I managed to get 3 lots of string back to the trellis. Hope it holds til hubby can help in the morning. We tried to do it at lunchtime before work, but there was a sudden downpour. Boy did we get wet.
Most of the ironing done.
Just need to vacuum and get ready for the morning.
I have Antiques Roadshow on Yesterday not much else to take my interest.

Catch you all tomorrow
Glad you are back Maddie, but sorry K seems to be left stranded about his knees

Linda :-) <3

Morning friends, hope you are all ok and had a good weekend.
Dont know where the last few days went, Scarlett has been a bit poorly so the days all seemed to merge into one, I had forgotten how a baby being ill takes over everything.
Breakfast is ready if you are hungry.
Cereal, porridge or fruit.

Bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes and hash browns.
all on hotplate.

Hot rolls, toast or waffles.
jam or honey.

Tea, coffee or juice.

Hope all our 'poorly' friends are feeling better, will catch up with all the news later.
Take care and stay safe today.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Morning All !

Dull and wet here just now.....no wind......YET.......this will be the calm before the storm.

Going to see our friend , Madge, again today. She is heavily sedated and is not communicating at all. Still I'll give her a load of cheek as usual....that's what she expects from me.......you never know it might raise a smile

Have a good day ya all ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Haha two breakfasts, may be able to stretch till lunch time.

Stephen I do hope Madge is comfortable, hope she has a peaceful day, it must be very distressing for you all.

Go with God, and in good health.
