Yawn yawn - wakey wakey..!! Mk 4

Hello everyone, nice to see WOO back on board. Hope you are feeling much better.

Kandy, yes the Tramadol is excellent as a painkiller. It is just the addictiveness of it as an opiate. I really think warnings should have been issued. Apparently 50g is the smallest dose you can take and it would be difficult to half as they are capsules full of tiny little beads of the drug. I keep stretching it out as far as I can before taking it but if I leave it too late then I am thrown into a bad flu effect with shakes shivers and sickness. So I am forced to take another one to overcome these withdrawal symptoms. When my son comes back off holiday I will have a go at going through the withdrawal symptoms with perhaps the help of flu medication or something that will alleviate these symptoms. I shall have to ask the doctor. I am off to the specialist care clinic next Wednesday to see what damage has been done to my kidneys through all this medication.......their answer could be yet more medication.............

Nice to see all the veggies coming on at last. Have a good day all.

 

Good morning everyone,

Welcome back Woo,take it easy and just do what you can and take each day as it comes my friend

Shiney hope you are ok as well and feeling better with your back and knee problems:yess:

Moyra,it sound slike you are going through the mill at the moment with all the health problems and lets hope that you do manage to get off the Tramadol and that you can soon enjoy better health as I know myself how painful sciatica can be.Good Luck with seeing the Doctor on Wednesday and hope that all is good

Yesterday lunchtime we had Broadband problems and the net was down for the rest of the day and evening but good old BT worked flat out and we are back in service this morning:yess:I have been lost with not being able to access my other forums and blogs that i read so need to get caught up on them at some point :D

It's dull here at the moment but the sun is trying to come out so have the washing machine going flat out to get lots of things washed ready for the heat

Have a good day everyone and don't forget to wear a hat if you go out in the heat

 

Hi Shiney,sorry to hear about the ballbarrow breaking down on you especially as you were trying to use it as well at the time.You need a neighbour like me.I used to cut the grass verges and the lawns back and front for my elderly neighbours and did it for eight years until they passed away one by one and that was with doing ours as well.I nerver used to charge them for doing it as I liked helping them and besides they let me have the grass clippings for the allotment so that was payment enough:yess:

Regarding the knees,I can no longer kneel down in the winter months and at the moment am taking Glucosamine{Dr's suggestion} with added Chondroitin,plus Codliver Oil capsules to try and help my aches and pains and plenty of but as I have had Rhuematism{sp}all my life I don't if anything will help it much now Enjoy the open gardens and don't get too hot.It is already 72f here and it is only 10.45am so will be a hot one as predicted:yess:so hope you don't get too hot round those gardens and allotments

The chicken is cooking in the oven but we shant have it with roast taters this week,just going to have it with veggies and our first new potatoes of the year

 

Good morning everyone,

Shiney,you must have fantastic compost with all those lovely grass clippings that you mix in with all your veg waste stuff.My neighbours either side of us give me their clippings so it either goes in the bins and compost bags or else I use it as a mulch on the allotment:D

How did the open gardens go,did you get round to see them all?

Woo,Moira,Penny,Louise and everyone,hope you all had a good day yesterday and that it wasn't too hot for you

Well it was a really nice day yesterday with the sunshine{81.1f} and i got loads of washing done and hung out so it is nicely dried and just needs the hot iron going over it and it is finished ready to be aired when the conservatory heats up:DWe didn't get a walk in until later on in the evening although the fan was going flat out trying to keep us cool as it got quiet sticky later on and i couldn't sleep through the night because of it.

Another scorcher coming up again today and Murray is playing again so will have that to watch at some point although I might have to nip to the allotment to water all the veggies

Have a good day everyone

 

Morning everyone

 

Good morning everyone,


Its sunny and warm here, off to do some errands and then give my dog a bath outside today.

 

Morning :D

 

Good mornng everyone,

What a lovely day yesterday turned out to be although it did get a bit sticky later on in the evening.We had about twenty or so spots of rain but nothing like the storms that was predicted.:D

It is 71.6f indoors at the moment and that is with the lounge window open but only 59.2f outside and we had a tiny bit more rain when i got up but it has stopped for nowMight even get to the allotment today to pick some more fruit and veggies.It to me is the best part of having an allotment:D

Glad you had a good afternoon out Shiney at the open gardens but I myself would have given the blues and opera singer a miss:DSorry to hear about the train being delayed because someone had ended their life in such a way.It must be terribly traumatic for the train driver and very sad for the families left behind

Woo hope you are keeping well and managing to get outside for some nice walks with the girls

Louise how are the cats?,I bet they enjoy some of the sunshine but if they are anything like ours they will soon retreat into the shade when it gets too hot:D

Penny hope the dog enjoyed it's bath and you didn't get too wet.Do you still have the St Bernard type that you had a few years ago?

Have a good day everyone
