So sorry to hear that you appeared to have such a bad reaction to the injection @coccinella, hope that today you have been offered something else or given the assurance that you will not again have the same problem. Sending hugs to you and to @Hostafan1, hope you can soon get some help Hosta. Not had a good day today myself, think I must have eaten something that disagreed with me yesterday (possibly an innocent tuna sandwich) as my digestive system has been protesting all day. It is getting really difficult to find food that suits me just now - for example I can eat one lightly boiled egg but not two and certain not scrambled eggs nor any other egg dishes?? Vegetables are ok and I can eat chicken (roasted, cold or as a big carcass boil up the next day. Fruit is a no no except for bananas. No spices of any sort allowed. Cheese (small amounts), cream and yogs are allowed. It has got to the point where I stand in the kitchen and think about what to cook/eat, go to fetch the ingredients and my stomach immediately feels nauseas, so I wander around looking at all possibilities until I get no reaction and that is what I eat. It is getting a bit beyond a joke I can tell you. Anyone got any good ideas or suggestions?
Good morning Forkers Thank you all for the kind messages. All cancer treatments are horrible, but thyroid has the added bonus of horrible diagnostics and check ups. Although I have only slept 3 hours I have not had stomach problems. Doctor told me that between 5 and 10 percent of people experience this 🤢 Well, it is what it is, I am getting my pill today. I have to be at the hospital early but fortunately it isn't far at all. @AnnaB I would eat what the stomach tells you, it could be anxiety and stress or a "simple" bug. Have you seen a doctor about it? @Hostafan1 hopefully you'll get a full recovery soon. And @Dovefromabove although there are still practical issues it seems that he is on the good road to recovery. Keep strong you are doing fantastic. Have a good day all.
Puffy clouds and a light blue sky today. The weather is due to warm up for the long weekend.
@coccinella Yes, all cancer treatments are horrible. I do hope you have a better reaction to the oral treatment. And to all those with upset tums @AnnaB may you feel better soon. You are very patient @Dovefromabove to snip hair around the burn wounds. I am so glad that Rob is on the mend.
I started staining the wooden deck yesterday thinking it was ideal being overcast and not too hot - then it started to spit and then rain. So had to stop. Need to get the part that is under the olive tree done before the flowers form and start to fall. So that is my project this morning. Hopefully, just a couple of hours work.
I bid you all well and that your day goes with a hitch!!
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ thanks folks 🤗 hope everyone’s had a restful night and those with health issues are feeling more like themselves today. 🤞 OH isn’t working today so we’re going to take son out for the day to see some folk … he’ll feel better doing that like a normal person, rather than visitors coming to see him in/on a bed in our sitting room 😊
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Sounds as though your son has made loads of progress @Dovefromabove, must be the good care he's had.
I'll pack and load the car today. Off tomorrow. We will stay a couple of nights with friends in Wiltshire, our neighbours in our old village. They moved house. Then ferry on Saturday night.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hope your treatments ease up on the horridness soon @coccinella - hugs to you. You must be excited to be returning to France with your OH @Busy-Lizzie - and seeing your granchildren!
Glad the meds are sorting the head-stuff @Hostafan1 - hope the docs can sort the body-stuff soon. Yes, some sunshine would do us all the world of good!
I'm sure Rob will enjoy getting out and about today @Dovefromabove. I have nothing but admiration for you. Definitely up for the 'Best Mum' award!
I actually reported a poster today, on another thread! I don't normally engage and I didn't this time, but this person was just so rude I felt I had to do it.
Got my radioactive pill this morning. No side effects except difficult digestion so far. I have been told I can eat anything (ha!) and even go to aquagym because I am not as radio active as I was with the full whack in August. But I won't go, too tired.
I meant to ask @Lizzie27 what's your secret with sleeping so late in the morning? I hope the call at 9.30 wasn't a worrying one.
Touch of frost here last night but at the moment is gorgeous. Will sit in the garden with my cup of tea in a little while.
Afternoon folks, hope all poorly people are feeling better today.
It's been grey and quite chilly all day so haven't felt like doing much. Went to my beautician this morning to have some lumps and bumps removed - she's got a smashing new gadget that freezes them off so I'm trying it out. Bit red and sore now but bearable - no pain, no gain as they say!
After lunch the Green Thumb chappie called to advise on our lawns and we've agreed to have them look after them again. We think they do a much better job than we could.
I'm getting really fed up with this on and off weather, as I expect you all are as well.
Hope you have a good trip @Busy-Lizzie. I was born in Wiltshire so it's dear to my heart.
I also hope that Dove and Rob enjoyed their outing, hopefully to the seafront for some bracing fresh air!
That looks great @tui34, you must have worked very hard.
