Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Hope all is ok with Mum xx

Progressing on to dinner. Tatties are potatoes for our non Scottish readers :D. Nice that you could do it together. Just like home economics class. I loved them :D

Is good to have a plan and yours sounds very sensible. You have had a crappy year so it can only get better babe.

Yeah Mum will be fine, we just need to keep a close eye on her, she is having problems seeing out the eye she had the operation on and its causing her to stumble and fall, she isn,t good on her legs at best of times due to arthritis. My sister is going to speak with her doctor see if they can do anything about her eye, shes not due back at the hospital for a while. But Mum doesn,t want a fuss know what there like.;)

Stubborn as a mule probably and determined to do it all herself! Hopefully they will be able to give her something to help her sight. Must be frustrating for her, there is nothing worse than not being able to do things.

I broke my wrist nearly 6 years ago and I had to move home for a few months as I couldn't walk the dogs on my own then I couldn't move the bloody thing when it come out of the cast, had to have 6 months of physio which was brutal. I was so pissed off in the end, my mum even had to cut up my food was tough going!

Hopefully when it gets a bit warmer and nicer your mum will start to progress, I do think this cold makes things worse as my wrist is painful now and it's not even that bad out!

I think winter is tougher on her and her joints, and yes she is very independent wonder where I get it from lol.

Broken wrists sucks I broke mine years ago, falling over the dog of all things, but I was fine didn,t need physio. You don,t realise how much you need both arms to do simple things, I wore skirts for 6 weeks whilst in cast as I could pull up trousers or do up the zips lol.

Is work getting you down, it sounds as if your run off your feet there

Work is a juggling act as I have more than one client and if they all need something it becomes a bit nuts. I used to love the diversity of it but IT has changed so much mainly due to the rubbish economy so outsourcing is harder. Everybody wants everything as quick as possible and for nothing. Wasn't like that when I started!

I like to be busy but since they made some changes it's got a bit much. I do however always remind myself of how lucky I am and I know it could be worse. I would like to peruse something else but done this for a long time so it's not that easy :)

Yeah the economy has a lot to answer for. Suppose I,m lucky in a way as I was in my last industry for 25 years and before being made reduntant was getting fed up with it and now I,m not working I can change industries. But right now I will have to just take whatever is going just to get pennies together, as my savings won,t last forever :rolleyes:

That's a good way to look at it. Don't want to burn through all your blinking savings as you never know when you may need something!

Can't believe it's nearly midnight already, I should really try for some sleep. Nice to catch up with you and I will be back tomorrow to see how your mince and tatties turned out.

Hope you get some sleep babe

Night

Hope you get some sleep too

Night night x

A good plan from the sounds of it and I'm sure that it will happen and all come together for you.
Hope your mom's eye can be sorted out so as to make it easier for her to see and get around. I'm sure it's a balance issue with the sight involved.

Well molly manages to get her sleep, she just complains till the rest of us shut up and give her peace and quiet. That is a dog that knows what she wants. Right now she wants my michael kors slippers in the worst way possible. she can't have them!!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin

Hey you

How did your mince and tatties turn out? Hoping you had a good hot meal. Was roast chicken tonight here! Did you sister manage to speak to the doctor for your mum?

We had a rain free walk tonight which was nice am sick of getting blinking soaked as soon as I step out of the door.

Had more issues today but resolved most so wasn't as bad as some days.

Hope your ok today and that I catch you in a bit

Big hug
