Hi to all. I'm trying to use this left arm more, so I'm actually typing this. The days are very much the same for me except for physio twice a week. Today I had a shower and got moisturised all over as my skin is very dry. I feel much better for it. I miss you all so much, but now I might be able to do more wih this computer so I might get to read posts more. Hugs to all.

Hi to all. I'm dictating this post but I just wanted to thank you all for the many kind messages and good wishes you sent me while I was in hospital. At the moment I only have one usable hand, so I can read posts but I cannot answer them. I hope everyone is having a decent day. I am thinking warm thoughts of all of you. As soon as my left hand is back in use, I will be back in circulation. That could take weeks. In the meantime, huge hugs to all of you.

Hi all. I've just been able to read a whole pile of your posts. Unfortunately mine are still having to be dictated so sorry if I cannot answer many. Things are getting a little easier for me. I have discovered I can drink cloudy apple juice to which I am becoming addicted. I have also started to have YFood; a neutritional drink for breakfast again and my meals in the evening are what they call minced and moist, which is basically grown-up baby food. But hey! If you have problems swallowing, you've gotta do what you've gotta do. On Monday, I have to go to bone clinic at a distant hospital and I'm absolutely dreading it. Well, I think that is about all my news. I'm thinking of you all and reading your posts whenever I can. Hugs to everyone.

Hi to all. This is dictated again. I just wanted to thank you for all the mentions and kind thoughts. I am doing alright. I've just had a yummy lasagna for dinner. I am doing a lot of reading. Looking forward to when my left hand is back in circulation. Hugs to all.

Hi all. I was dreading today. I had to go to the bone clinic, but it went very well considering. Justine took us and it was so much better than having to go in an ambulance. We were home by 11. As far as I can tell, the arm is healing slowly, but it's going to be a few months until it is right. The good news is that I have been able to take off the sling which is making things easier although I am suffering a bit more pain. I need to move the arm now and slowly start exercising it. I hope everybody is doing OK. I miss you all. Sending huge hugs.

Hi to all. Thank you so much for your kind wishes and prayers. I'm feeling better andd the moral is, keep on drinking! The hospital waas a small circle of hel, I'm so relieved I'm home, it was freezing in there, I'm just now beginning to thaw. Bed soon and a hot water bottle. Bliss.

Good morning everybody. I've had yummy strawberry YFood for breakfast. It's so convenient because we do not have to get Rhia to do it. I'm listening to lovely oldies while I eat and just caught up on Mastodon. Feeling good this morning. Hope everyone has an awesome day.

Hi all. Happy Easter Monday. I hope you had a nice Easter and got lots of chocolate. We've had a trying weekend. I won't tell you why, way TMI. Feeling a bit brighter today. Spending a little time in the lounge, listening to some nice music. Huge hugs to everyone. I miss you all.

Hi all. It's been a busy old day. I had to take a shower this morning which is three times more difficult with this arm. Tracey then arrived to cut my hair. I was then able to rest during the afternoon and have just had cottage pie for tea. The arm is still being a total pain but I'm doing my exercises like a good girl. We'll see what the Physio says next Tuesday. Hope everyone is OK. Sending huge hugs.

Hi all. Just poppping out of my hole to say hello. I met my new hospice care lady today, what an improvement! So much nicer and more eficient than the old one, and she doesn't reak of garlic when she comes in here. I don't kno why, but I can't stand the smell of garlic anymore, it makes me sick. /Anyway, nothing else new to report, just getting through the days the best I can. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hi all. So today has been a bit sleepy, but I've been rememembering to drink, which is improving things. Thank heaven for the Tassimo! Hope everyone's having an awesome day.

Forget that, the further back you go, the worse it gets. Let's do it.
