COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

They sure do take long to give you answers.

Yup they certainly do!
I rang the surgery again today as the x-ray was taken 4 weeks ago, but nothing arrived yet.
Apparently we have a shortage of radiologists - the ones who interpret the results.

 

[Lyn W]

Have a supa dupa day Lola and Lyn.

We did thank you. it was quite warm and sunny until this evening.
Lola has walked all day today - it's a wonder he hasn't worn his little legs down!
He wouldn't bask inside or out, but he did have good nibble in his clover patch.
I should get him a Fitbit to see if he can reach the Great Barrier Reef level too.

Hello all, going to take a break from the TFO for awhile. News from my doctor was a bit alarming for me.
My right lung that had 2 punctures in it from the accident. The lower 1/3 is not functioning and what was thought as scaring in the lung looks different. Plus my pulmonary arterial hypertension is progressing. So my oxygen saturation is staying low. So more imaging needs to be done.
I am going to take a break from TFO for awhile and crawl back into my hole. I will try to check in now and then.
Ray

Sorry to hear you had disappointing news, Ray, but stay positive and I hope you'll be back with us sooner rather than later. I'll be thinking of you.
Take care.

Good evening (or good morning if you're still up on this side of the pond).
I've managed to catch up with you.
It's already Friday here and another long weekend coming up for us in the UK with our Spring Bank Holiday which always falls on the last Monday in May.
The schools or at least most of them, have half term holiday for the whole week.
Anyway now I've read everyone's news it's heads under wings, beaks under blankets all eyes closed time.
So nos da and I'll not see you tomorrow!

Sounds great.
Will you leave Sully out while you are away or will he be secure inside?

Wifey and Sully staying home this weekend. They are holding down the Fort.

Hope you are all safe and dry and that you don't lose any more trees.

All safe. Trees and power lines down all over the greater Washington area. Many buildings and cars damaged by the trees being blown over.

We always have to wait for our doctor that ordered the test to tell us what the results are also. Sometimes you also have to wait for your appointment while a person (me) hangs by pins and needles. It sucks! I just try to keep moving without overdoing it. If I get to the point of pain I stop and rest. The next time I usually can get a little bit further. I'm sure you already know that. Next they'll be telling you to keep doing what you're doing.

I have been putting off getting a new phone for ages. I had to buy a very basic unlocked, no sim phone when I came out of hospital as the touch screen had gone on my 8 year old Nokia Asha phone and I needed one for emergencies when I was home alone, but it really is a cheap and cheerful model that just lets me text and call (it does have a torch though!).
I don't want an all singing, all dancing phone. I don't need the internet and loads of apps and they are so big now! Anyway I will get one with a camera - one day

I don't know if you can get an LG where you are but I've always loved the camera on them. It's a simple phone with a neat camera whenever you do it?...

The new one is an iphone xs. I got £50 off as a price match with John Lewis and then £135 trade in for my 5 year old iphone 6. So it still cost a lot of money, but if it lasts me at least as long as the 6 then it isn’t so bad.

Apparently the 5S and 6 will go out of support in September when the new version of iOS is released so it was time to think about changing anyway.

Just got a 5se, will never update it. I’ve ad an android for quite some time now I see how much bloatware ios also have!! Almost went for a flip phone. I’ve heard mobile services are way cheaper in EU than here.

Oh no Ray. I am so sorry. Take as much time as you need. We will be here if you need us at any time. Big Hugs.

 

[CarolM]

6S will stay in support. It’s the original 6 that’s passing on. Sorry to disappoint!

Lol.

Keep safe Mark and batten down the hatches!

She must be a workaholic. She's stretching herself so thin...

Ha ha ha. Good come back.

Mmm. That is not good. But I would have thought your doctor should be able to interpret them as well. Anyway I hope that they get the results sooner rather than later.

Lol, now that would be an interesting experiment!!

All caught up again. It was not so busy last night. It is getting colder here. But we still have the sun out. We have had only a small amount of decent rain. I really hope that this winter is better as far as rain is concerned, although I have not seen that so far. It is Friday, yayyyy. Tomorrow I am taking the dogs for their vaccinations. So it will be up early. And this afternoon is Jarrods last hockey match for this term. @Kristoff I haven't seen you popping in for a few days. Are you okay, or just preparing yourself for a hectic weekend?
Have a SUPA DUPA Friday everyone.
