COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Well, Mrs B definitely hasn’t finished building. She has been very busy today. Although I can’t help wondering if she’s trying to block the camera out!

Well done to Mrs B. She is doing such a good job. You can see that she is more experienced. So we may yet get to see the babies grow up. Which will be awesome.

I told her about it as it is a consequence of the accident, but I have to see my GP to be referred for any treatment.
Goodness knows how long that will take.
But I managed to wear shoes and I did drive to the hospital!!!
Had a few twinges in my leg and foot en route but got there and back in one piece!
The physio advised me to only do short trips at the moment.
I'm happy to do that and I'll be able to do my own shopping again!!
Independence here I come!!!

Yayyy. That is really good news.

It's always a good day when the cat and dog allow me to sleep in! I didn't get up this a.m. until almost 7:30a But that makes me late getting outside to do my a.m. chores. There's no winning!

Very true. I hate having to get up early on weekends, it is bad enough that I have to do it for work during the week. Weekends I am supposed to be able to at least go to sleep late and wake up late.

Hello, nobody in particular.
Welcome to Tidgy's Dad's Cold Dark Room.
Not expecting a lot of visitors in this pointless place, but this is where I live now.
It's good in here.
If anyone does visit, please feel free to say what you want( within forum guidelines, of course) and I will be happy to be silly, slightly insult you or ignore you completely which you are most welcome to do to me.
I will of course venture out occasionally, when I think I can be useful or annoying, but otherwise I live here now.
No advertising, let's see who spots me.
This is where i belong.
Tidgy is most unconcerned.

Wait can’t you make the dark room light and warm the sun? Okay I have no clue

 

[CarolM]

He does. And I'm really glad to see that CarolM liked this quote after the loss of her tortoise. Loving a tortoise is a different kind of love. They become a part of you.

I was checking in every now and then but did not feel up to commentating at the time.

LOL, That put a smile on my face. I wonder what the bird was trying to do?

 

[CarolM]

I think that's the worst thing about being off your feet. I like doing my own shopping. I save money which gets my animals more. Yes, I'm what's called animal poor.

Don't you mean animal rich and money poor?

Happy Birthday Olivier!

A Very happy Birthday Oli. I hope you had a good day and were thoroughly spoilt.

 

[CarolM]

That doesn't really ease my guilt, but it's actually a pretty darned good excuse. I'll have to remember that one.

You are retired, you don't need an excuse. Just use the words: Because I can!!

 

[CarolM]

Okay Lunch time is over and I need to get back to work. I will check in again later to carry on catching up.

Good afternooning. Ecologist daughter and her flatmate have a new friend to share the flat.

Meet Basil the Brown Long Eared Bat. Basil got caught up in netting and injured and is now recovering in their care until he is ready to be released again. You need to be licensed to handle bats in this country... Daughter’s flat mate is the one with the qualification.

My physio went well. I have two more exercises to add to the list. The physio has confirmed the Baker’s Cyst in the back of my knee and the rupture of it that has caused the pain, swelling and bruising in my calf.

I am off crutches and using a stick if necessary. She reckons that it will take 6 weeks for the swelling and bruising to clear and probably 3 months for me to be back to normal.

It seems very slow, but I am fairly upbeat about it. I need to work at the exercises, I am allowed back swimming if I avoid breast stroke as the leg movement is too much strain on my knee, and hopefully I will see steady improvement

I am so much better than I was this time last week.

Ok. I will. This one's pretty funny too. Oh heck! They all are.View attachment 269346

Oh goodness me! Your brother is talented, isn't he?

Thanks for sharing. And a "thank you" to your brother, as well.

Here is a pic of another grandson that was here about a month ago. View attachment 269358[/QUOTE

Oh how sweet! God bless him.

Good mornooning everyone.

It’s my turn for physio today. I have to head back to A&E at the hospital this morning so their physio can review my progress. The back of my calf is bruised like someone kicked me - I was warned this would happen. It will be interesting to see what the verdict is.

Wishing you good luck, Linda.

Dreaming of sunshine, pouring over holiday planning

Hi Linda.

I wish I could send you some sunshine.

Unfortunately, temperature has dropped to 16 degrees C, so I couldn't take Oli for a "walk" as I had hoped.
