I was just thinking if I turned up in Bianca Censori's "non" frock somewhere......there would be a lot of ill folks, I'd have to take plenty of buckets!! And worse still, you have to do a lot of shaving. Tbf I'll only have my fluflu on show cos there isn't anything above so no chapel hat pegs!!! Just what is going through their minds, totally wrong!!! I am perplexed....and how much did she pay for it....a bit of sheer netting. So many questions....

Well just been to physio....A* with the knee
I think!! Not blowing my own trumpet, but quite pleased with that. Felt like I'm was at school again. Norris on the other hand got a lovely big breakfast in the cafe, which he was still muching on when i came down, they do do some good food!
They surprised me by saying in my notes I'm down for bilateral knees which I didn't know. I thought I was going to have to start all over again with going to the doctors, waiting for physio, having to have injections, finally getting a referral to the hospital. But as long as I'm well I can phone up Barlborough after 3 months and do the whole thing again. Like the hokey cokey. Who knew?
So the zimmer frame and the crutches went back and the sharps tub with those horrible injections ( my stomach is still green) till next time my friends, till next time......

Happy Chinese New Year...I'm a goat/ram......and today I have a runny nose, so there you are!!!
3 and half weeks since my knee opp and last night I did my yogalaties and ten mins on my exercise bike.....and I ache a little this morning. I still can't use my leg as my lead leg going up/down stairs...but its healing really well! I use my bottle of gin as a carrot and promise myself a large one when I've done.....sometimes it's two....

Well you remember the old printer that worked once I'd removed a pencil and bought another ......yes..... well it doesn't work now. Norris knocked it off the side...😐
So moving on, we went to Nourish at 44 for lunch yesterday, it was absolutely lush. The service was excellent, my beef cooked just as i like, Yorkshire puds huge, got to say the only complaint was that there was too much food. I mean I can eat, so can Norris,but try as we might we couldn't eat it all😂😂😂😂 Note... I visited the toilets after you do when consumed several pironnis and took note there was a small step going in to the cubicle, after coming out I forgot it was there and nearly ended up in the sink, not a good move for the knee, a wee bit sore!!!
I wish I'd took a photo of my lunch!!

The printer stopped working the other day...,
I ordered a new one , it came yesterday....whilst removing the old one today I looked underneath. There was a little hatch, sealed down, I opened it. There was pencil jammed in it......the old one and the new one are working fine now. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I had some lactulose from the hospital to help with the number 2's and I haven't had much of it ....it fell over in my medical cupboard ......there isn't much left now. Its all over the floor, the front of the cupboards and all over ' stuff'.....for anyone that has had lactulose I'll be cleaning the bloody stuff up for a long time....a very very long time... ..

Now a warning to all knee replacement folk!!
No one tells you that when you wake up and you have slept with your knee ( operated one) bent and flopped out to the side, it then decides it isn't going to work till you've had a shower and got hot water running on it.....I'll give it a rest today. Perhaps I shouldn't have slept like that, no doubt physio will tell me off!! Also I tried my exercise bike yesterday, I couldn't do it, apparently the seat needs making higher, I sat on it at least!! Small steps or cycles? Xx

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

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

RITA'S RANTS I promised after Bonfire Night they'd come....the Rolls Royce of the Mince Pie Kingdom....and they are here.....and a pack is mine......

ALERT...ALERT... forget mothers day at your peril...we have a few bunches of flowers with a wee Teddy....and some cards.

I'll remind everyone nearer the time to support this.

RITA'S RANTS (hoolie edition) Continued from stupid people post yesterday. A camera caught these two likely lads knocking over a glass recycling box deliberately and breaking the glass. I was told the glass hit a neighbours car....could these two be related to some of the other damage around the village??? You see from the time it's not late and was done with purpose....
