Granny Dec is going down to the all night restaurent for icecream---- ohhhh yummmm  @Owlunar

Yes i have to be careful how much water to drink too but the kidney specialist has not put a limit on how much yet

yes my aunty is 80

It was funny with mr shaz , because i was single until I was 43 , and I found out I knew his 1st wife which i knew when i was 18 and 19 , can not believe it

His first marriage was in my home town on the day of a cyclone

I knew mr shaz grandmother, father and mother 15 years before i met him

Hi @Owlunar, thinking of you a lot 

What's happening? 

Had some good news yesterday,  dad got letter from Guardianship board his Guardianship case (with TS wanting control) has been 'dismissed' 🙂 

Are you pleased with how your trip away went?  

I'm off to Bible Study this AM - will check in later.

Hi @Former-Member@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@Shaz51@outlander@utopia@Adge

And everyone else - my mind is buzzing and it's uphill for me atm - I will have to add people on I guess

My trip to Tassie was excellent and I had a wonderful time with my relatives - this was really good

Somewhere somehow I have twisted my knee - the one I had the operation on - and it is really painful - I know pain well but this is something else. I managed to get home before it went really sour. I think it's getting better but - ah sheesh - it is good to be able to share with people but I don't like doing it either

I think it's a little better this morning - on Sunday night after I had been attending to chores I went to sleep watching TV and when I woke up the knee was so painful I thought for a while I would spend the rest of my life in that chair - but I did get up and get to bed eventually - and I saw the doctor who told me I needed a knee brace - I think it's getting better just being firmly bound up with two crepe bandages - I wonder about the doctor who knows I live alone and don't drive and just getting up and going out to get something isn't always that easy

So yes - I found the situation such that I spent most of yesterday lying on the bed reading - I bought an excellent book at the Hobart Airport and I read that all day - and staying right of the leg except to get to the toilet or to find something to eat for a couple of days is working, I am okay emotionally but a bit discouraged with myself - yet - on the upside - this knee was stiff when I was away but not painful as it has been the last few days when it has been really hard to bear my weight on it

For me it is really important to continue living my life alone here - I will do whatever is possible to continue - I am not afraid to be alone - I am not afraid of the silence - the silence can be easily filled with my prayers and my thoughts and my constant search for knowledgee

But yes - I knew you were all here waiting for me to post again and this was good - part of my healing involved sitting - lying down - and being myself and doing what is necessary. The thought of living in Aged Supported Care is not something I can feel right about. I guess people there would think I was downright anti-social and they would be wrong.

It's just that I like to do what I want to do when I want to do it, It was necessary for me to go to Hobart and visit my relatives - my uncle is a very sick man and they have serious trouble I can't write about and I had to know - and I need to be here or there for them as this time passes

So a lot has happened - and when I am not here it means I either have computer problems or I have things I am battling with - we all have troubled times - I know you are always here

I need to have some lunch and get ready to see my therapist - I have had a shower and dressed and re-bound my knee 

I am okay - it's just that the road is rough right now
