This weather, I am bloody freezing and Norris has another man cold....which means not much sleep either!!
Right, my morphine was finished a few days ago 😪 and just one injection, although this morning just bending over bloody hurts there really isnt a patch of my belly that isnt bruised....the zimmer frame has become a clothes horse in the bedroom and my crutches are somewhere in the house. But today is dressing day removal at the doctors.....its been 2 weeks since I had the opp but everyday has seen it get better and I say to anyone that is suffering with your knees go get it done. Apart from day 2, day 2 was a bitch, day 2 was a nasty nasty person, day 2 was a customer that you dont like but you have to smile through it....., if you can sleep through day 2 then it's fine, if you can morphine it out all day its fine... but day 2 was a nightmare....

Just 4 more injections left, nurse Phallon is running out of unbruised flesh, had to have some gin for last nights jab, medicinal of course.
Knee update;it feels great, yes it still hurts yet ,but it doesn't creak and grind going up, or down the stairs or sitting on the loo and I'm getting good bend on it. I'm being good and haven't had a nosey yet, this dressing is very good, waterproof and Rita proof. I will wait till Friday for the doctors appointment don't want to be shouted at!! X###

Thank you Donna and Nick for inviting us to your leaving do last night at the Poets. I hope you both have an amazing time. Unfortunately I left early as I normally wind up the night at 8pm, but I did leave Norris to carry on in my absence.....
Unfortunately when Norris came in and came to bed he started to snore like his life depended on it, and he was facing me. Which meant on every outward breath, I got a reminder of what he had to drink and eat.. so I got my stuff and retired to my chair downstairs. If he mentions he's tired today he'll be wearing his Sunday lunch......just saying

A big THANK YOU to all that took part in the Mummers play over the Christmas period. The money they raised was donated by them for our defibrillator, towards its upkeep, which was £132.10.
Not many people know that the money for stuff like pads, batteries etc comes out of our pocket. THANK YOU AGAIN LOVELY PEOPLE ###X

I hope everyone is staying well and upright in this absolutely icey weather!!!! Norris fetches me in a morning so I don't fall over. I am down....0....crutches and ....0... zimmer frames now. My knee is OK really ....its a bit of a tiger at night time but I can't wait to get the big sanitary towel off ( what the dressing looks like, extra long for those night time heavy bleeds) and see what's underneath, and it's itching. The worse thing is when nurse Phallon jabs me every evening in me belly and I still have 4 nights left of that fun!!! Still I will know what to expect for the other one. My dreams are really real at the moment though. Norris sold my sofas last night and replaced them with wooden furniture from the 60's and a purple settee!!!! He knows no bounds that one. Xx

Good morning.....hope everyone is fine in this wet weather. Today my knee is doing great, they say you often feel worse before you get better....Saturday was that day when all the drugs trickled out of me and i was tearful...Sunday I managed to cook Sunday lunch, although I couldn't mash the tatas...yesterday saw me clean up after Norris, put some washing in and nip( well there wasn't much nipping) round to the shop. And walk around the living room... Nurse Phallon ( youngest) , has to come and do my injections at 6 every night because I'm not that keen and can't do them with my eyes closed 😂😂 and I've got another week or more of them...bloody things. Right just waiting for my morning drugs to work then I might get on with a bit of paperwork.... did I say I loved the morphine!!!....see you in the shop soon..xx

Norris may be late getting back to the shop this a.m.!! I'm still a little worse for wear so I can't help out, I've had a lot of morphine though, I should be skipping!! So again opening will probably be after 7ish...sorry for the inconvenience....

To all you early birds Norris, Liam and Holly will be a bit late. Papers only just come unfortunately. Possibly won't be open till after 7am. Best laid plans....obviously I have a cup of tea and a lie in...and I shouldn't be crossing my legs...

Well 3am in the morning and had some morphine (1st time for this happy drug this visit)....already been told off for bending my leg (apparently the clips cant take it too early) and walking too quick!! This cannula in my hand looks ready for coming out though, no I'd better not touch it!! Well I'll see the physio this morning, walking, using crutches, and using the stairs need to be done and then I can come home, oh and another blood test and a xray. I can't fault the staff here they are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble. And the food isn't half bad. Every body has a smile ###

RITA'S RANTS OK for those of you who didn't see the tractors last night, I've been sent this.....merry Christmas

RITA'S RANTS I am going straight to hell. A rep from one of the beer companies just came in, but he sounded and looked like the Police man from Allo Allo.....his pronunciation was spot on.....I have bit my lip to stop laughing at him....bless

RITA'S RANTS My youngest daughter was in our kitchen when I got up yesterday morning ( she helps Norris deliver the papers she had had a parcel delivered to ours and was picking it up). She made me feel so wonderful, beautiful and young, the greeting was: " Morning Hagrid"

RITA'S RANTS Got my physio appointment tomorrow.....I have to shave my legs or they will think the grinch has walked in. Got to borrow some shorts too, I'm not sitting there just in my knickers!!!! Might treat my armpits to a shave too....although they'll be in the wrong place if they go under there
