A tough two weeks


Hello all my Lovelies.

Flowers from my lovely sister for helping her out with a couple of things


The last two weeks have been a tough ride here.

It started, really, towards the end of my Happy Ripple. I started getting pains in my right elbow. The pains continued and I soon realised I was dealing with a case of Repetitive Strain Injury - Tennis Elbow, if you will....or, more like Crochet/Knitting Elbow.
After reading a bit about it, I took the horrible decision to take 2 weeks off from the yarn and needles and rest my arm.

Then, in the middle of last week, incidents occurred that left me needing the therapy of crafting more than ever. Last Wednesday, I had my quarterly appointment at the Hospital.
I hate them.
With a passion.

Thankfully I'm still tickity-boo, but they leave me with a lots of pent up anxiety and fear and that, in turn, usually leads me to having an emotional breakdown.

Then the next day, when I was still feeling exhausted from the previous day, my lovely mum gets rushed into hospital.

She is still there now in fact, but they think they have her stable. She is completely compos-mentis. But they are keeping her there until she is "balanced" on a whole heap on new pills and her blood pressure is okay.

It is still a worrying time though, and she isn't completely out of the woods yet. Fingers crossed though that she is allowed home on Monday (which is the current plan).

In the mean time, hope you have enjoyed the pictures of the bouquets of love I have received over the last two weeks.

Nothing much beats flowers in my opinion.



That's all for now, Until next time, you take care now x
