Worth a try

This morning I went with Angela ot the garden centre. We had breakfast which was very nice, then Angela went to buy a couple of things and we had a coffee and chatted for a bit longer. I stayed put a the leg is still painful and this morning I took the decision to stop feeding the birds for now. That is a shame, but by the time I have walked down the garden to get the food I need a sit down already so feeding them has become a miserable experience and then the leg is set off for the rest of the day.
Managed to get a pair of garden clogs which were reduced, Angela went and got them for me when she did her shopping. Then on the way out we passed the wooden model kits and she bought me one as an early Christmas gift. I won’t start it until the tins have had their visit.
Angela’s handy Nan friend called round at lunch time and is hopefully gong to fix my toilet in the morning,
Jayne came with her petrol strimmer and did some tidying round the edges of the garden, also got the last few plants in for me,
Doctors appointment this afternoon, luckily Tina could take me and Angela brought me home. Don’t think I would have managed walking there today,
Now a double up of the pills I have been taking, that is the maximum dosage and she has also prescribed some gel I can use three times a day. As I said in the title, worth a try! She also said that ai should do a week of checking my blood pressure as now , if it is high, I won’t get the surgery, seems like one obstacle after another. She said the medication can be tweaked if necessary.
Have finished off in the guest room and done some chores, also some jigsaw with my unhelpful furry friend!
Not sure when the twins are arriving, but it will be good to see them.

  1. Glad you got out for a while again with Angela. Just getting away from the place when you’re forcibly stuck there does help a bit. Another wooden kit, you’re getting to like them. You’ll need a wall unit soon to store them all in. Looks good though.
    Really sorry to hear you’ve stopped feeding the birds. Things must be really bad for you to make that decision as I know just how much you enjoy doing it. I really hope you can get back to it before too long.
    Glad you’re getting the loo fixed in time for your house guests. Are you still intending to try to get to meet them off the train? It’ll be nice for you to have them there for a while.
    I know how much you hate taking pills, so double dosage won’t be something you’ll be looking forward to, but I really hope they do a bit of good. Sounds like they’re the last hope until the actual operation. Whenever that might be! All of it is enough to put your blood pressure up, so deep breaths and keep calm 😂
    Nice to see Pandora is helping with the jigsaw. Is she as good as Darren? 😊

  2. Amazingly Pandora often gets on the puzzle but doesn’t actually play with the pieces of flick them about.
    There is a range of other instruments, accordion, saxophone, drum kit and something else ai think. Other small ones as well, a train, merry-go-round and a hot air balloon. Then there are large one that have moving parts. Won’t have time to do th em when I am running round the garden though!
