Cheerful earful

Where do I start, everything is going wrong or breaking, microwave, light bulb, extension lead, alarm bell, washing machine, grill door, radiator leak, radiators cold, door wouldn't shut, and so much more.  I have one mother of a mouth ulcer and a runny nose. Other than that I am absolutely fine. My mate sue doesn't have a blood clot in her other leg so that is good news. My mate sue b has been fab trying to make Everything ok again. Mum and dad came today and fixed the extention lead and emptied the drinks cabinet. Slowly but surely with everyone's help I am emptying the lounge ready for the builders. Joy came today my cns, clinical nurse specialist. If a bed is available I can go to hospice whilst the work is done, which in all honesty is a great relief, i can tell you as it will be noisy, dusty amd damp. Ellie is being an absolute delight at the moment. So you see I can be a cheerful earful in the face of adversity!

The day developed into a bad day

Oh dear what a turn of events. Wendy came to visit and said I can hear dripping. We looked around and found a steady drip coming from a bowing ceiling in the living room. . The leak was found to be coming from the airing cupboard. British gas were called and stopped the leak, a loose nut! They served a safety notice on me to get the electrics checked so steve managed to get an electrician to check the wiring. So at the end of the day I have water, heating and lights. Just need a new ceiling and  a carpet clean.
Then my mate, sue needs an operation which will take place on New Year's Eve.
Then I had to tell Mary off.. So all in all a rotten day but I won't let that undo the good that was done at flint house. Tomorrow has to be better.

UTI

Ok so the syringe has permanently gone. Just to muddy the waters I had a UTI but that has now all cleared thankfully. I feel great again and have gained weight at flint house. Sue and I had a terrific week. And I have come home to a fresh clean, newly decorated downstairs. It looks brilliant, all clean and fresh. I have been thoroughly spoilt at flint house, with fresh thick soup and baths most nights. I'm smelling fresher and looking a lot heavier! Cheese supper probably helped, delicious Camembert, Stilton and goats cheese. Everyone commented on how well I looked, which is very encouraging. I can't tell you how much good flint house has done me. I think sue enjoyed herself too. We went to a lovely cafe that did spicy Indian chai served with runny honey and warm milk, delicious. The highlight of the week was Dilf dressing up as a fireman, bless so funny. Glad to be home with Ellie, according to Lesley she was as good as gold with a roll of the eyes!
