    Thanks folksĀ Ā DĀ We’re home … OH is on the sofa with his feet up, a cuppa and a Tunnocks Tea Cake (his special treat).Ā 
    He has a bandaged foot and a very attractive ā€˜medical sandal’ thingummy … back on Friday to change the dressing. The local anaesthetic hasn’t worn off yet ….

    Just received appointments for next year thyroid cancer check ups. There's no reason to worry about anything. Why am I in a cold sweat? Heart pounding, oh why am I such a coward šŸ˜”Ā

    @coccinella ((big hugs)) … as I said to @punkdoc the other day, the purpose of fear is to prevent us from taking a wrong step. It has no other use … so take a deep breath, square your shoulders and ignore it … if you don’t it’ll sour every day between now and the appointment … and there’s too many good things to do to let that happen.Ā

    You are a real inspiration, @Dovefromabove!Ā 
    Do what she says, @coccinella!

    Been a bit down today, still not sleeping and the general 5 days post op. phenomenon. None of it helped by the continuous rain, stopping me sitting out.
    I think things are probably progressing quite well, so hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

    Evening folks.

    Hey @punkdoc - I bet you often said to your patients ā€œyou’ll have up and down daysā€. Lack of sleep sucks though. I know not for everyone, but worth trying a sleep podcast??Ā 

    @coccinella - understandable to have a wave of anxiety but I hope that ebbs away so you can be positive about the now. You are doing great!Ā 

    Hugs and cuppas to anyone who needs one.Ā 

    I’m just having a cup of decaf whilst I wait to see if Mr Fox will make another appearance this dusk.Ā

    Grrr! Ā The bulb thingy in the round fluorescent ceiling light in the bathroom has just ā€˜gone’. OH can’t use a stepladder with his foot all bandaged, Ā and son’s hands and arms aren’t up to using a small screwdriver above his head on screws that look as if they’re rusted in. We’ve got someone coming to renew the grouting and redecorate in there, but not until October … at least we’ve got the light over the mirror 😊
    Yesterday one of the sitting room doorhandle’s innards Ā deconstructed … so this year, since son’s accident, it’s been the food processor, the washing machine, the cooker, the toaster, a fridge shelf, and the vacuum cleaner, the door handle … and now it’s the bathroom light … in the normal course of events the light is a small thing … but why now??? šŸ™„Ā 

    In the meantime, let’s hope we all have a restful night … sweet dreams everyone šŸ›Œ šŸ‘ šŸ‘ šŸ‘Ā

    Oh dear, Dove. We’ve replaced several things this year as well. Microwave, Foreman Grill, Main Oven, etc. etc. I feel useless in the kitchen. When I’m feeling more like getting involved, Hubby will show me how to use them.😳

    Good morning all 😊 ā˜•ļøĀ 
    What’s the weather like with you todayĀ @Pat E … we’ve had some rain overnight.Ā 
    I hope we’ve all had a restful night. OH has been in the Ā small bedroom in case I kicked his foot … all is quiet from there … I shall have to get my own coffee this morning … and a cuppa for him when he wakes …

    Thank you all. ā¤
    liked the buiscuit and tea @Dovefromabove.Ā 

    It's all been put away until February. There's a lot of life between now and then.

    I hope everyone has slept OK.
