Gandalph Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Just wondering if everyone has gone on their Holidays.There have only been a couple of posts since February 20th. Or has everyone died due to laughing at our glorious leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dencandy Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 And me. Also andsome is around somewhere, and Pat Willener is probably in the library. I think I saw Irene going into the kitchen and Watchful just went out to prune the roses. Artist is in her studio and -pops- is in his potting shed I think.

-pops- Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Time in the potting shed is long gone for me, I'm sad to say.I pay one of the neighbour's sons to keep the garden in order for me these days.I think if I bent down to pull a weed out, I'd never stand up straight again.

doug Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm still around. Been trying to get back into a fittter state than before by getting out on the bike. Gave up the running due to the bout of pneumonia I had - really knocked the stuffing out of me, took months to get over it. Tried to do a bit of running but the realised that Tempus Fugit had occurred so laid low. I've now got an enormous gut which is causing difficulty with shoe laces. In addition the garden needs a serious coat of looking at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have just got up to strech my legs and have a good swill down. I have been in bed since Friday trying to encourage this bloody thing to heal up. The left ankle burst forth last September, after the Robin Hoods Bay expedition, and as that healed the right one started to feel the effect of having to take on more of the work of propulsion, and it started to sulk. As the left one had almost healed the right one gave in, and since just before Christmas I have been fairly well imobilised. It is relatively comfortable when horizontal, but vertically it is a different matter altogether, even with "electric" stockings. Then it feels as though a red hot wire brush being pressed into my leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Father-in-law had something similar on the right calf and it took about three years before it cleared up. Ointments, dressings and all the rest of the carry on.Pleased everybody is here though. I was starting to wonder if everyone had been abducted by Aliens. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I thought paypal were supposed to be trustworthy To be fair to Paypal, they've responded fairly well and had already put a stop on the payment as it looked unauthorized. My main gripes are :- 1) It getting through their security in the first place. No way could they know my additional authorization number.2) How come they put a stop on it after they billed my credit card company, then fail to tell them there's a problem ?

Irene Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 catgate, that looks very uncomfortable in deed. :( ... I hope it responds to treatment soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Father-in-law had something similar on the right calf and it took about three years before it cleared up. Ointments, dressings and all the rest of the carry on.He gave me some antibiotic cream. The only real healing come from within rather than without. The antibiotic is to kill the little gobblethripes and bacterimoles that arrive and prevent that healing...if there is any there. I find a homeopathic remedy called Hamamelis (Whitch Hazel) is as good as anything. But, as you can see, not a world stunning success even so.

I dislocated my left knee about fifteen years ago, and it has just started to play me up badly. I have an appointment this evening at the local hospital for possible referral for a replacement joint. To cap it all, last Thursday I suffered some mild but disturbing symptoms while in Lichfield. I saw a specialist yesterday and it seems that I may possibly have had a mini stroke. I have been forbidden to drive until I have had a precautionary scan, and have been put on aspirin meantime. It means taxis for the time being as 'Er indoors cannot drive one handed. It never rains but it pours. This week ends shopping will have to be ordered on line and delivered by Sainsbury's. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What upsets me most is that I have been elected as captain of the Sunday morning bowls team. It looks very likely that with my knee as it is I will be a non playing captain.
