it it is truly a treat to read your posts. Hugs and be well!
I have so much regret over messing up and being a wreck when I was in San Fran. So I will have to come back and visit you when you think it's a good time...maybe later in the year?

SO SO SO happy for you my beautiful friend. Almost a year and a half.....holy moly.....so she is walking and talking I bet.

Huge hugs for you and your baby and husband. s

EDIT: And we have (both) been married for almost 2 years. Amazing. s

Have a good day everyone.
No words. Cartwheels. Life as we know it will change. Millions will be spared the agony.

Bet the Aussies are on this....you know they are trialing a new Alzheimer's drug there....oh yes they are.

Hi everyone, just thought I'd pop by and say hello, I've been working on a movie 60+ hours per week plus working on a book project, also tbh friends I was in a relationship for a year that turned out to be emotionally abusive and I just got out of it finally, it's been really really hard. But I'm getting better now.
Lots of love everyone.
Congrats on 6 years Mags.
Suze your story about your mom made me cry. You are a good person.
Off I go.

FBL, I was 54 when I got mine done, and was probably the youngest patient there by 20 years. I am very happy to have had them done when I did. My vision was rapidly worsening and I was facing the possibility of cataracts totally blinding me.

I had surgery yesterday to repair a long running hernia issue. It turned out to be more severe than anticipated, and I spent two hours on the table instead of 45 minutes. Two pieces of mesh needed to be sewn into my abdomen to put everything back in place. Needless to say, I won't be doing much for a while.

Have a good day all!

Gosh we have missed you honey.

You stayed in the relationship huh, yep, it can be so so hard to break away even when we are being hurt. But you did it....and you are a lovely person who deserves to be treated WAY better than that.

The movie sounds super exciting, so does the book. Guess you finished studying for the moment? Maybe not.

Tons of love.

I still CANNOT get over the fact that I called Australians "they" yesterday.

How could this happen?

Good morning Overs.

I have utopian weather at the moment, sun during the day and rain over night. I just have to top up one or two pots.

InPar, Hi.

Have a good day everyone.

Happy B-day, Dee!

IP, so happy to "see" you! I'm sorry that you had a bad relationship. You deserve to be happy. I'm sure you'll find the right one someday. In the meantime, there's a lot to be said for being single and free. I'm kind of an expert in that department.

Star, sorry to here about your hernia. Hope you'll feel better soon!

Suze, have I told you lately that I think you're awesome?

Itch, hope the house adventure is coming to a close!

My cataract surgery is all set for this coming Tuesday (July 30). I have to be there bright and early at 6AM. I'm the first patient of the day, so hopefully my surgeon will be wide awake and ready to go! I'm actually looking forward to this one. The recovery should be a breeze compared to the previous surgery.

Have a Fabulous Friday, overs!

Hopefully your surgeon will be wide awake dear FBL? LOL....yep, I would hope so too. Actually, I would want to be the first patient of the day as well. And all the best love. But we will remember next week. s

And thank you form the bottom of my heart ~ what a lovely thing to say.

And I am so glad that we all got to celebrate D's birthday this year....
So many HBs in so many threads.....it is wonderful.....I think everyone should get to feel special at least one day of the year. It is the only day of my year when I will walk around saying go me...it's my birthday....woot woot....I get presents.....ha ha. I am a child.

My elbow is still the same Mags. It hurts big-time. It is sick pain.
And it is the kind of break where there is no separation, so the docs can't do anything else except advise. I have to alternate between wearing the sling (not doing that atm) and the right physio/exercises to get the arm working again. If you don't do that, it might never work right.

But I am not concerned....I have a story for you. Hmm. It's a bit grizzly, might just say my dad did this by falling off a ladder once, but much much worse. Our orthopaedic surgeon performed a miracle, but said he would never be able to straighten that arm again. It took my dad about three months hard work, and that arm was stronger than ever. So I have good genes.

Chronic pain sucks, well aware of it.

I gauge it carefully, having to stand for hours- collectively in art classes, I record when I use pain relief and add brufen for break through pain by discretely ducking out to the loo.


The big thing to remember about pain or addiction (when in positive recovery) is they do not define us.

Morning Overs

PJ, must’ve been so wearing, suffering all that pain, both mentally and physically.

It’s been raining this morning. Lovely and refreshing outside. I think we’re heading back to our normal weather now. I love to see the sun but not extreme.

I heard on the news that railway lines had ‘heat related’ incidents causing big delays.

Have a good weekend wherever you are, my friends. xx

Good morning Overs.

I'm collecting my new car this morning. Hyundi i20 Tomato red. It is slightly bigger all around but twice the trunk volume.

Have a good day everyone.
