I saw the dentist yesterday. She is really nice and we chatted about my spinal wedge fracture and that my mouth is in a good condition and needs no treatment and my plastic hardware is going to last me at least another year when I will return.
Irish Reunification
Mon 14th Sep, at 07:28 am | Deirdre | Diary
So the talk has been on Irish Reunification since Donald Trump decided to speak on it this weekend. He also mentioned Scotland, Wales… I will wait as patiently as I can to see if it leads anywhere.
Nearly bedtime

Nearly bedtime. It’s been a quiet weekend. I don’t have much to say for myself but looking forward to being in bed.
Struggling a bit
Fri 11th Sep, at 05:17 pm | Deirdre | Diary
Yes, I have been struggling a bit but not anything that can’t be sorted by some extra sleep. The days have just flown past so quickly. I’m glad we have reached the weekend.
Oh well!

So I have come downstairs again tonight. I don’t think I’m going to sleep anytime soon. Watching The Wrap on Sky News and aware that I can’t take anymore pain meds until breakfast time. Oh well! It’s better in my armchair than to toss and turn in bed sometimes. Most nights I have no problem.
Yummy!

I have had a big roast dinner and a pudding and a glass of wine and l am feeling rather stuffed. It’s an opportunity to eat lots of veggies and it will set me up for the week. Yummy!
Friday

Ooh Friday again. I love Fridays. I don’t have to get up early for any reason and the thought of that is really good. Although I am a pensioner so it’s probably my state of mind that encourages me to get up early ish during the week.
Hurting a lot
Wed 2nd Sep, at 04:29 pm | Deirdre | Diary
My back is hurting a lot today. I think about my fall and how I kept being told I had bruised my muscles and it will take a long time to heal. It wasn’t until I decided to visit A & E three weeks later that I discovered l have a wedge fracture of the spine and I am now on strong painkillers going forward. I was on morphine and then codeine at first but they really mess with your head and I am on different painkillers now.
Yey

Yey, it seems that it’s time for parliament to reopen and all my favourite political programmes are now back on the television. Great!
Oh dear!

Oh dear! I have been feeling sorry for myself which I shouldn’t. I am not in psychiatric hospital or anything. I’m not being made to sit in a circle and wave my arms in the air. I am well ish. I have food in the kitchen, I have coffee and a kettle. I’m warm in winter and cool ish in summer. I have a double bed to myself and I have the TV remote. This is heaven… and I also have good friends and family. Who could ask for more?
