March 2nd
A windy but sunny day. A good walk on the common with Luna. Well let's face it there is no such thing as a bad walk. There are the not feeling the best ones, but even them are good as I am out in the fresh air playing with my little friend Luna.
Got back and after a bit of a rest and a cup of tea, I did the ironing, a lot today as bedding as well. Yes I iron the sheets. My body is very sensitive so any little creases will cause me pain and it does.
I feel tired today as not being going to bed very early around three am and getting up the next day anywhere from eight am onwards.
4th
Went into town to get some wool for two little cardigans I am going to make for my friends two little girls. (The wool lady was closed so back tomorrow.) I made these for her when the younger one Heather was born but I did not see her, so they outgrew them be for they even got them. Another try hopefully we can meet up soon if not I will have to post them.
I have now finished off the puzzle, I borrowed from a neighbour.
Eltham Palace.
5th
Got the wool this time so full steam ahead to make them, obviously bigger sizes. I have ordered some swarovski crystals spending money that has bean saved up from Christmas and Birthdays. I spend very little money on myself so I thought new crystals why not.
7th
Wayne and Kayleigh here arrived around dinner time. We are having Chinese for tea so only a sandwich for dinner.
My throat is not good, very sore and tight voice very raspy. Head ache too especially when I bend forward. Molly, Jay-Jay plus Cory-James are here later as well. I do not think they will stop for tea though. Jamie-Lee and Lindsay might be here later.
9th
I got a phone call today to see the Doctor. No idea what for. Bit early for the blood tests I had last week. When I got there I asked why she wanted to see me. It's about the moles things- you have on your back and stomach. With having the cancer scare on my nose, the Doctor just wanted to check up on them. She asked me for my phone so she could take pictures, I said I do not have it a phone with me, and it would be no good as not a smart phone. She seemed to have trouble grasping this. She asked again
I was told I needed ANTIBIOTICS as well, for my chest and throat. I said that usually I need more than the three days that are give to most people. I told her about the RSD and things just take longer to go. I got five days. What happened to a weeks worth?
I also asked her about my heart scan that I supposed to have every year bean three years now since the last one. Her answer--- You have no more time- I have other patient's to see. Come back next week.I had six minutes with her, and it was her that wasted the time going over things at least twice.
11th
Still coughing a lot, yuck stuff coming up. I head feels quite a bit better, but very hot and cold all the time.
Going to try cleaning up if I can helps to keep moving.Got it all done and yes I did cough a lot.
12th
I washed Luna's two favorite toys and her basket. A very windy day blowing round on the wash line. Luna did not like them being on the line at all. She kept going out and sitting under the line watching them spin round. At times she cried too.They were soon dry and she was happy again. Both look very clean now.
Fluffy and Shippy
I later had a nice hot bath to ease my muscle pain.
15th
Up a bit later than usual I think it was around nine am. Still not feeling the best, I would like to go and see my Mum (Crematorium) as its Mothers Day. Paul said he would drop me off with Luna and I would walk back across the common. I think its around tree mile round trip. If Luna gets tired I will carry her but I think she will be ok. He is going to see Mum as well. She is not well at the moment.
Later I cleaned out a few cupboards and tidied them up. I cooked tea for Paul and I.
I got a mother's day card and present from Wayne my oldest son.
A happy mothers day wishes off Andrew, Lindsay said she would see me sometime next week.
16th
Another very wind day sunny too. Got a lot of ironing done one lot in the morning and one in the afternoon. I was ironing them as they dried from the line. They smelt so fresh and clean.
I still feel very drained but not coughing as much throat still sore and raspy.
17th
Cleaning upstairs today after putting out the washing, windy again. Got most of upstairs done the rest tomorrow. Sorted out another cupboard, most just need a tidy and a wipe of the selves. Quite warm today in the sun cold in the wind though.
18th
Finished off the bedrooms and stairs. Luna had two walks on the common as Andrew wanted a walk in the afternoon. She was full loonie mode running around with her ball. She was tired later and had a sleep in her basket. She was not the only one tired.Warm today got to 17C in the afternoon. A very pleasant day just right temperature.
19th
Cleaning down stairs today but did not started straight away, as had a rest first. Around four thirty when I finished. Luna was asking for another walk but I said sorry duckie I am too tired.
21th
Luna had a bath today as she had rolled in something and smelt a bit strange. She does not mind a bath at all. She jumped out a few times when she was a pup, but managed to stay in today. She loves the hairdryer. especially on her belly. I trimmed around her eyes as well. She needs a haircut very soon. I got a pair of clippers but she is not keen now. The first time I used them she was really good. Maxine usually has a bit of a battle with her as well. It's not the same bit every time. To start with it was her face, then her feet. Changes every time.
23rd
Sewing up the little Izzy dolls I made. I got a big box and there was room for more. So I thought a few more fourteen in all. Hopefully this will fill the box. I will then get in touch with lady who is organizing this and get them sent off. The Izzy dolls will go to the war children as comfort dolls.
The first ones I made.
25th
Sad news today Paul's Mum passed away. Paul has gone to see his Dad.
27th
Luna's third Birthday. A birthday walk on the common bit of frost earlier as well.
Luna with her card and presents. A new harness and some treats.
She did not really need much.
Luna had an extra walk with Andrew and I. She was running around chasing birds and just about anything that moved. She had fun and after a sleep she was ready to play with her ball.
Having a good rest.
28th
A very windy day on the common we saw some of our friends.
I went into town today to get some wool for a shawl I am making. Luna does not like me going out without her and cries for a while.
29th
Very windy and so cold on the common I was quite pleased when we got back.
I went with Paul to see his Dad, not seen him on his own since his wife passed away.
31st
Mine and Paul's Wedding Anniversary today fifty one years.
Again another mixed month but at least I have got rid of my sore throat and infection thing. I know I suffered a lot as you with RSD will know that. Things just take longer to improve and get better. Well all the best to you all Love Gill.
