Thank you all for your kindness. It will be a bit of a journey before I no longer look like an old crone. However, I am one step further than I was last night! 
There is always a bright side. According to my Fitbit I walked more steps today than I have walked in months!!!
Marydoll So pleased to see that you have managed your two appointments and plans are in place to sort your tooth! What a day you have had! Rest easy now and relax 
Glad you have been sorted Marydoll.
Hope all the stress of today hasn't wiped you out.
Sleep well tonight.
Back in one piece, After a very busy and slightly surreal day. Two medical appointments in one day, I am indeed blessed! ?
I will catch properly up tomorrow.
Dental treatment requires collaboration with RA consultant and dentist. I'm off to remortgage my house to pay for the treatment. ? It will not be a quick process. I never thought I would be so glad to have to wear a mask. It covers a multitude of sins!
It's difficult to see, but we have a blizzard. So glad and relieved to be home.
Good Morning All x.
Lovely and sunny but at -2 it's rather nippy as well.
When I opened the curtains earlier, the area had a large gathering of seagulls. They were everywhere, standing in the garden, in rows on roofs and some just fluttering in the air. It was like a scene from The Birds 
.Massive birds. They weren't squawking either which was strange.
My right knee has been giving in lately so I've been a bit wary in case I'm carrying something at the same time----what a pest. It's probably a touch of osteo, no pain unless I turn around suddenly then it feels as though it's become detached altogether. Old age I suppose 
I should worry.
Marydoll never has a "free " day from any problems and anything to do with teeth aren't the best, so hope that can get sorted for you soon.
Urms I can't envisage anything untoward with your forthcoming test, just a diet adjustment I would say which will remedy a suspected type 2.
Those animals look so cosy and content in their byre Sheepandcattle it's lovely to see. Lovely border collie, they are such clever intelligent dogs, with its pal, aww.
Glad that you've had some respite for the time being.
No need for any shopping today as I'll be using what I have in fridge and freezer, so there'll be concoctions of all sorts of eats. I'll probably go for egg and chips today it's a long time since I had that as I always seem to be cooking dinners that involve pans galore.
Oh dear, I've been cleaning the windows---all started by one of the cat's sneezing on the window so out came the Dettol and throw-away blue cloth and I carried on with my " foot bowl " full of hot soapy water. Anyway they're done now.
I must say the cats are driving me mad lately, in and out of the house like a dog at a fair. They don't know what to do with themselves----like children.
Hope everyone hasn't got too much snow and ice otherwise it's difficult to get around either on foot or in the car. I hope you can manage to get where you're going, vax's especially.
Anyway, keep warm, take care and stay safe everyone and those who feel under the weather, hope things improve xx
Good morning Mick and all from bitterly cold West Sussex. Do not scoff you Scots and Northerners - it really is the coldest weather I have known in a long time.
I had a more than usually active day (for me) yesterday: vacuumed, wiped cloakroom and kitchen floors and various accoutrements (bins etc). Then I sorted out some of the clutter in spare bedroom, collected Sainsbury’s order, went for a brisk walk with DH, cooked meal and read a few chapters of WW2 story to DGS’s on Skype. As I had several days previously when I barely left the sofa I was feeling quite virtuous by bedtime!
Today, unfortunately, there is ironing looking at me in a recriminatory way. It has been sitting on a chair, strategically covered with a throw, since about November. I can’t even remember what’s there.
Thinking of all with illness, worries, caring responsibilities .
Good Morning from a frosty, but dry Cambs., We've only had a couple of light dustings of snow here.
Good to see that lots of us have had our first doses of the vaccine, & that several more have them in the next few days.
Marydoll, I do hope you get all your appointments sorted, what a lot of things at the same time.
Warm wishes to all with extra worries & troubles.
Take Care Folks

Actually a lie down might be more on the cards, Nio !
