Good Morning Monday 7th November 2022

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. Still dark.

Great to have you back Ash, good luck with the appointments.

I’d say I had a successful weekend with my decluttering and moving things around. Hopefully there will be less reaching and getting steps to do get things from high shelves.

Today I have to make a medical appointment. I was given a list of hospitals to chose from and was pleased to see my local one on the list. It turns out not to be and the nearest place I can go is miles away. Why do they do that when they haven’t actually got a clinic in these places.

I’m glad your DDs day went well Mattie.

Have a good day all 🦩🍃🍂

I saw this about cooking

Morning all from West Oxfordshire and hello Ash. So pleased to hear of your recovery. It’s Monday so it must be laundry, shopping and ironing! I am waiting with bated breath to hear that the lounge curtains have been despatched. I had a text on Friday to say they were being prepared for despatch! Now it’s November, I really must get on with C preparations, at least for the Australian part of the family. Also, we may or may not be taking Milo to the vet today. Over the last few days he hasn’t been a happy pussy cat and we think he has a hair ball. Have a good day everyone.

Good to see you again Ash. Best wishes for your future health.

Crossed posts. Welcome back, Ash, and happy convalescence. X

Good morning from Bristol.
I heard from Ashcombe at lunchtime yesterday. She is now home, being cared for in her convalescence by olddudders and feeling a lot better now. She thanks everyone for their kind thoughts, wishes and prayers.
DD’s licensing went well last night. It isa very moving service where, apart from the keys to the buildings, she is given the tools of her ministry - a Bible, a prayer book, a chalice, etc. I hadn’t realised that she was the first rector of a benefice of two merged parishes called the “Harbourside Benefice”. Her dad would have been bursting with pride - a bitter-sweet day.
DSiL’s father came early to help DD put up a rather elaborate wallpaper panel in her home study; his mother came later. I’m very fond of the in-laws.
Iris had a bad day; she was sulky, had tantrums, etc., as she isn’t very good with change and having to explain the crutches, and soon. She has a new splint that doesn’t go under her foot. She doesn’t like it, but it’s less obvious than the regular one. I think she didn’t use her crutches at all yesterday. Great progress.
Have a gentle day, one and all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a calm Torbay.

Firstly, thank you for all the kind messages of support and concern I have read whilst I haven’t been posting on the daily GM thread that Mick kindly sets up.

Surgery at Derriford to repair my mitral valve was a success despite leaving me with atrial fibrillation, which can happen, apparently. The need to sort out medication saw me at Torbay Hospital A & E over the weekend.

I must apologise for the worry caused here by the lack of updates. Last week, I found it difficult to concentrate on writing because of the busy time in hospital and the lack of peace! Now I’m home the tranquility is most welcome.

DH is proving to be a very good carer.It’s so hard when he has to do everything without me to share the load. Today, I must contact my GP surgery for various appointments on particular days but I am not hopeful, based on past experience.

I look forward to reading all your news soon. Wishing you all a good week. With my thanks and apologies for causing unnecessary worry. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
