Hi Davina, I had a good old chat with a really lovely GP. I have seen him before, he is going to hold back the morphin patches for a while. I have to have bloods done again.
He went back through my records and found blood results in 2010 showed I had very low vitamin B and Low vitamin D. He couldn't understand why it was left!!! Hmmm i wasn't very happy, but he was so nice I just nodded.
I have an ear infection this is nothing new, it is caused through my eczema. So happy days antibiotics again.
Maybe if I get some vitamin boast I wont feel so tired, heres hoping.
I know what you mean about wanting to be in the sun, I have been inside most of the day, i visted my mum-in-law poor thing has taken a step backwards. I can't see her being home any time soon.
I hope it is nice tomorrow so you can take your little one to the park.
I hope your knee eases off a bit for you. Take Care XX

Hi, Just got from Paris four day trip. I am so tired and full of pain but it is well worth it.
Had a great time and visited so many places.
I phoned my sister-in-law as soon as we got back and my mother-in-law is not good at all, will be visiting tommorrow.
I hope you all feel a little better. Davina you can borrow a wheelchair from my local hospital, give it a go if you don't ask sweetheart you don't get. I hope you have a good result from your steroid jabs. This should help you have a better holiday.
I wish it would just stop raining!!!! for goodness sake!!!!
Take Care all. xx

Davina, Try and rest your knee as much as possible today, i know it must be hard to rest when you have a wee boy but get your feet up as much as you can, they told me to rest a joint when it's been injected, although that is easier said than done. xx

Aw that is lovely, i bet it helps to have him there to comfort you and take your mind of things. If your knee is swollen Davina. I would check with the doctor or hospital. Is it inflamed? it might be best to get it checked out. I've not been good at all today, hopefully tomorrow things will be better and your knee feels better. xx

Hi Davina,glad you got your steroid injection, yep they are painful after. I am sure in a day or so you will be feeling the benefit. Oh bless your little boy. What a great comfort they are, and how clever they just seem to know when mum is not so well!!!!
My mother-in-law is much better in herself, but they are sending her to the local hospital for some rehabilitation, she is just so weak. She needs physio to get her legs stronger again. Bless her!!!!
You take care and rest that leg when you can. xxx

Hi Marlene so glad mum in law in such a nice place, you just never know where they may be put. My son is better and so is his attitude lol. Hope your arm is better.and the burn is healing well. I went dentist yesterday and I am terrified so I get sedated I had a tooth removed but she left half the root in because it was a hard extraction and sedative was wearing off and had next patients. So I don't see her for another 5 weeks and its an open root!!! Pain is bad and I could have started trying for a baby but now she as set my back 5 weeks ,and I'm in horrible pain. I am going to ring them on Monday explain and hope they can do something for me x

Oh Davina, what a rotten thing to happen your dentist surely can't leave you for five weeks. As if you need any extra pain!!!!
I hope she sees you tell her your pain is awful.
Glad to hear your little one is better. Davina it is just one thing after another going on at the minute I lost a lovely cousin, we were close as kids as we grew up in the same street. The funeral was yesterday, to-day I feel totally washed out.
My hubby is night shifts for four nights so no hospital visiting no rushing around.
I am taking time out Tuesday with my daughter and getting my hair cut.I need a bit of me time.
I don't think I am being selfish so why do I feel guilty about saying I need me time?????

Davina I hope you get sorted and can start trying for this new baby you are longing for.
Sending you a great big hug. Take Care and rest up a bit(LOL) XX
