Good morning all.

Right now I could cry. I've just had to go into Mum who has started another attack of labarynthitis :(

My plans to go home are stalled.

First attack as soon as I went on holiday... another attack when she confesses to me that she had one while I was away... and another the night I am due to leave. I googled... stress can be a trigger.
I am so sorry to hear this Linda, I hope you and your Mum are Ok. If only she could be persuaded to come home with you for a while, or does she need to be near her doctor? Anyway take care and try not to let it wear you down, carers need care too!

Well the good news is that Mum is looking brighter since the nurse came and gave her the injection. Sister has finished her shift and has told me she's taking over and I can go home :)

I want her to come and stay with us, but that's on the list of things she flatly refuses to consider.

Next step... sheltered housing options need research

At U.S drug stores there is a temporary cement to repair teeth or to stick a filling back in until you can get to a dentist.
Hopefully you can find such a thing.
I think I have seen something like that in our Tesco. It's such a big filling though I may just use a whole bag of building cement!
It really needs a crown which is what it should have had originally but I think the dentist ran out of time and just shoved a filling in. At least there's no pain.

Good afternoon Lyn and good afternoon Lola.

Need help here, I'm afraid. Please translate. We seem to need a translator in the CDR.:p
Hi Gillian and Oli, it says
'Good evening Gillian I am very well thanks, and you?'
Google Translate is very useful when translations are needed. Not always accurate but OK to give a general idea.

Hi Linda. How are you and how's your mother today? It seems that there's improvement, seeing that you can now go home, right?

Hi Lyn and Lola.

Thanks the translation. True: Google translation is anything but accurate.

How's the weather back there, Lyn. Bet it's raining. The lovely heat wave has decided to remain in Jordan for another TWO days. Wish you were here Lyn!

If you have a savers there's a product called toothy pegs which has temporary filling material and cap and crown repair stuff it's not fantastic but fills the hole to reduce any more decay happening. Don't know if I was allowed to say the product name on here .... Is that like advertising .... Errr ... Watch and see

That's good news, and I hope you have a safe journey back I think the road the bridge was on is open now.
I don't know about sheltered housing in England, but in Wales they do have flats which give people their privacy and independence but also have medical staff on hand. At least they did before the cuts, in non medical general sheltered housing they have cut the number of wardens in the last couple of years so instead of one per block they now have to travel to about 3 different places - so they only get to spend a few hours a day in a few centres. The good thing is that there are always neighbours around and emergency pull chords so it does offer relatives some peace of mind. So good luck with finding something she will like.

I think it's okay to mention product names to help people, just not to advertise your own company and products and things.

You're right! It is raining and cool here Gillian but no prizes since it rains most the time so it was safe bet! I expect that come Thursday when I'm back in work a heatwave will start - but I couldn't cope with that and certainly not with your heat!

Have you "tried" it anywhere? In the Middle East or elsewhere? If you have not, I bet (again - bet) you'll LOVE it.:D

I remember seeing chicks sprayed colours in Spain. We were camping there - it would have been in the late 1970s - and the family next in the tent to us had 2 chickens with them that were somewhere between chick and adult. One had obviously been bright pink and the other bright green.
That is too bad. Poor things, with all that spray.

No I haven't Gillian but I can't stand any temps above about 20'C, I much prefer to be cold and wrap up. I really think I was a polar bear in a former life!

Actually yes I have - S Africa, Miami, South of France, Ibiza, and several other European holiday hot spots, but I tend to sit in the shade!
