BITS AND PIECES

Write something, anything, remember Annie how a blank sheet of paper was always a challenge? Don't say nothing's happening, something is always happening. So get on with it.

Sazzie has been down here with us since last Friday. Lovely to see her and feed her, boy does she love her food, a joy to cook for, and I have been cooking again. She and JP have gone to the Hospital for his third CT scan...he's getting quite the old hand.


JP had a Hypoglycaemic episode on Saturday afternoon. He was mowing the lawn and I said, not putting two and two together 'You look dreadful, come and sit down' but he carried on until Sazzie said she would finish up t he job.  Suddenly he sat down next to me and began  talking gibberish and looked as if he had had a stroke. I ran into the house for a tube of Glucose [they are in every room] and Saz ran for sugar water and a banana. Luckily he didn't lose consciousness but couldn't stand for some time before getting him into the house. Two hours later he was back to normal and could not remember a thing he had said or done...just as well.
Oh, and Milou would not leave his side...just kept close with a look of such anxiousness in his lovely brown eyes.

Saturday was also the first day that I was able to use my new Cradle Hammock...not the lovely hammock I imagined but jolly comfortable and 'twas cheap. It has rained or been too cold every day since I bought the thing a month ago.

I am well. I get a bit stronger every day and am going to have a six week break before Radiography thank goodness, I was truly dreading it.

NOAOS is still in lots of pain but is showing a remarkable recovery...he is determined to be back behind the wheel earlier that the six-week period his doctor said.

So there you have it...a page filled. Perhaps it might be a good idea for me to dredge up something from 'The History' for my next post. Anyway, I'm still here and you my loves, are there. XXX

  1. I'm so pleased that you are doing so well, Moannie but sorry to hear about JP's attack. (However, that was easily remedied & hes back to normal.
    I enjoy hearing from you and how you are doing. I'm sure everyone else feels the same.
    Looks after yourselves.

  2. Hope the weather improves enough for you to get good use from the hammock - what a May, eh? JP's attack sounds scary but copable-with. Take care.

I pray you continue to feel stronger everyday and that JP will soon be feeling better, too! Oh, and good for NOAOS!!!! That's great that he is doing so well!!!!

  4. So sorry to hear about JP's episode. We are all much more fragile than we were just a year ago, when we chatted about silly things, really. Life has a way like this, blowing in with big gusts, and then, slowing down with a soft Zephir. Enjoy all there is, each episode is just a pearl in that necklace.

    Right about now, Moanie, you are sounding stronger and stronger.
    The sun will come out and warm you into more activities, even more writing.

  9. Your "history" is always worth another read, Moannie, so don't feel guilty about posting from it. You're sounding more like your good self with every new post! It makes me very, very happy.

  10. So glad you're feeling better and soon the rads part will also be over with. You sound brighter in this post. Lorne is off to London tomorrow to work for the Olympics - just imagine, this time 2 years ago, he was facing the start of chemo!
