From bad hair days to anything more serious, worrying or upsetting, think we need some virtual hugs

Even female doctors can be dismissive of women if it not a “female problem” and male doctors even young ones have little interest in us.

its my birthday on Sunday, I’ve got a decent haircut , more colleagues are returning to work so I’m marking Monday a new start to get back on the straight and narrow of eating and excerise and generally smartening myself up both physically and mentally.

Going to have a bit of a binge first though!!

Good to hear you sounding more positive. Did the little drinky help?

You mean yet another cup of orange squash!

Alter Ego. So sorry to read your story. What a nightmare.

Now on a POSITIVE note (for once) I had a really good physio session. Up and down a flight of ordinary stairs on crutches twice. I can't actually believe I managed it but I did! And in a mask and gloves. I was baking!

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

A few more of those and you will manage your own stairs when you don’t have a mask etc and able to stop and stop as you want. A few well placed chairs/stools for a rest after “a visit” and you will be grand.

Life's just going to be one long faff from now on grrrrrr.

I fear that

 

[shopperholic]

Yes life’s definitely going to be different, every little symptom, even something unrelated and we think it’s our time to get it, yesterday I said to the husband I don’t feel too good you know, he said why what’s up, I said I feel really warm, he said you will do sorry, I turned the heating up by accident, and there was me thinking I had a temperature waiting for the cough to appear

Yes, last month I suddenly had a snuffy nose and a bit of a headache with a sore throat. First thought crap don't tell me I have it! Then watched the news and they gave the pollen count afterwards as very high. Yay! It is my sinus so upped my nasal inhaler and all well.

Bless, I've got one just like him!

He's got about 12 days left before Boris / BBC wants his TV licence money, for the first time in 25 years.

Apparently there was a terrible to do in the night as the woman who talks NONSTOP did just that and a frail lady just cracked at 4.00. I have sleeping pills thank Christ although the noise did wake me.

We have a really unhelpful (could one say lazy....) HCA on our bay today but I thought the nurse might have a bit of compassion so asked her to supervise me walking on crutches which she did. So homework completed as best I could.

Hi Mazza are you feeling stronger ?

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

Mazza look on the bright side you could be forced to watch Q on a loop at full volume

I had my hair cut at last on Friday. I wore a mask throughout, had temperature taken on arrival and used hand gel. Felt as safe as I could. They used a plastic cape which I did find very hot and had to keep dabbing my chest with a hankie! Sweaty Betty not a good look. My hairdresser wore the face shield. It was so good to have my hair cut again, and I feel on a bit of a high since then. My hair was driving me mad before after 24 weeks of growth. When finished I had to put the cape in a bin. I just paid my usual amount for the hair cut, which surprised and pleased me. Was very pleased to take off the mask when I left the shop, but I guess I am going to have to get used to them.

I hope you are feeling better soon Mazza. x

 

[Mazza]

Hi Mazza are you feeling stronger ?

Actually May I really am. I haven't cried for a few days now which must be a relief to the staff. I have been relieved to adapt quite well to crutches and feel I must just struggle as best I can to get home. So a bit of a turnround from utter despair to positivity!

 

[Mazza]

THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE F*****G TUNNEL! Just saw a physio for a chat about time frames and it appears I was slated to go on 27/07. I have a Fracture Clinic appointment on Thursday which she thinks I should do as an inpatient then all being well it's home on Friday. Probably a nightmare there but can it be worse than a dementia ward??

I'm trying to imagine doing this with our Sox, of course I'd have to catch him first
