Its a better day here than it was yesterday. Ive managed to do a tiny bit in the garden.

My dad frightened us last night, he managed to fall down the last couple of steps on the stairs and banged the back of his head. Fortunately he didnt break the skin or any bones, just pulled his arm and shoulder which was already hurting beforehand. As you can imagine i was worried about concussion, but he's been fine : )

I didnt tell you about my mum, she has been on amitriptyline for years, dont know whether you know about that drug, but it can make you light sensitive (we didnt know). She's never had any problems all the time she has taken it, but she sat in the garden in the sun and had a bad reaction. Have you ever seen images of pple who have a allergic reaction to hair dye? Her face went like that.
Tablets from the chemist didnt help, tablets from the gp didnt help, she ended up in hospital in the non emergency section and the doctor looked at her skin under a light and said she also had a skin infection. You would not believe how bad she looked not having seen it for yourself. Her eyes were swollen, her face was swollen and red and its caused her so much irritation and distress, she does finally seem to be getting better, and very slowly each day looking more like the mum i know.
looking after your elderly parents is overwhelming at times!

Off the shops now, need some milk.

Take care everyone.

good morning,

dixie, i can't tell if it's the thunderstorm or b/c of a hip twist yesterday, but i do feel it, too. hope it gets out fast. how did your dinner go yesterday?

empathy, sorry your weekend in the garden got rained out. i hope both your parents are ok. very sorry.

yesterday was very special for my family in so many ways. fist time seeing my sister and her new husband since their wedding, my nephew and his fiance floating on cloud 9, dad doing pretty well, and tons of delicious food. feeling very blessed (and tired/sore, but worth it). plans for today - nothing. i'll try to do a few things b/c they'll inspect a few apts this week, but not holding myself to anything.

wishing all a low pain and stress day!

We have the chance of rain. Feels like thunderstorms and it is overcast. Husband is doing the first mow on the lawn. I am doing the clean up on the house as much as I can. Leftovers for dinner.

Kim enjoy your time at the salon. Wishing for a sunny day there tomorrow for your Aunt's service.

Empathy glad your mum is on the mend. What a scare on your dad. We older ones are more resilient than one would expect. I am sure that was a heart stopper.

Serenity your day sounds lovely. Surrounded by the newly engaged and the newly wed. Hope you can catch up today.

Hugs to all
