      Hi Elaine, hope you ok, have you had a good day? Not been great, went to see eldest daughter then went to the park to sit in sun but was packed with screaming kids and on way back there was an accident and got caught in bumper to bumper traffic for hour and half, also spent two hours in A and E as hubby badly hurt his shoulder and his arm puffed up like a balloon, also had stomach ache and burning on oophorectomy side as I was so stressed, how was your day ? Xx

      Hi there poor you how stressful you really don't need that. I hope your husband is OK. My day was OK Phil was off today so he busied around in the garden then we took Basil for a walk (that's our dogs name). I feeling not too bad at the moment but you can be sure it won't last long.

      Back to work tomorrow but everyone will ask did you have a nice Easter and I will say a big fat NO! But apart from that its not been too bad.

      Poor you I hope you feel better soon.😣

      Thank you for caring, glad your day was fairly good the weather was too hot for me, I feel like exploding I'm so stressed - I have work tomorrow like you, dreading it are you ? Not sure what how we feel about things at mo, hubby has health issues like me and we have awful neighbours that constantly wind us up and deliberately make their dog bark when we are in the garden, we have had words with them about it and it ended up in a massive fall out that's left a terrible atmosphere, thinking about selling up and clearing off and buying somewhere with no neighbours, also pressure of work is too much as we are both self employed, no work no money, I don't know we'll see - do you work full time? Hope you don't x

      No I just work four days a week in a law firm. Really hope your day is OK tomorrow. Yeah my husband is self employed too and if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid but he's never Ill. The only time I can remember is when he had a suspected heart attack and was dragged off to Cheltenham General. But he was fine. Yep not looking forward to work but like you if I have a sick day they don't pay me.

      So sorry about you neighbours and their dog. We have neighbours with two German Shepherds and a Jack Russell but of course Basil doesn't hear them any more which is good. They constructed what we call the Berlin Wall between us but because Bazz doesn't hear anymore they needn't have bothered.

      I really hope your day isn't too stressful tomorrow. Nice to chat speak soon.😊xx

      Uugghh Berlin Wall, how awful for you, nowt as queer as folk, well some folk anyway, I think working four days a week is a lot, I only work mornings and that's a struggle! You need to take care of yourself and that's scary for your poor hubby, all we need is less stress and I hope you have a peaceful day at work tomorrow, let's keep smiling I always try and think of those struggling so much more than me . Big hugs xx😃

      Yes agree, I have had bad head all day as well, wish I could have glass of wine but I know I will get an instant headache, felt so sorry for hubby today, he's had four lots of surgery on his shoulders, two decompression ops and ops for ruptured tendons, but he's been overdoing things as usual and last week he lifted daughters washing machine by himself out of the back of his truck into her new house, and that's really finished them off, shoulder dropped and distorted but hospital wouldn't even x Ray it as they said he has had too many already and have referred him back to GP, told him to take paracetamol, waste of time - he's in agony now , he try's so hard to be happy but is very depressed today and I have forced him to cancel all his work this week and rest. Stress goes straight to my op site, meant to ask did you have hysterectomy? X😨

      No I haven't had that done yet. But there's time for that in the future but don't want that done at all have you? So sorry about your husband hope he feels better soon. I always have shoulder pains comes from doing too much at the gym.

      Hope your day goes well tomorrow and keep shimling if you can.

      Sleep well. Elaine xx

      Yes had hysterectomy over 20 years ago leaving right ovary, that was removed 18 months ago due to large cyst over twenty centimetres in size, horrible - now in surgical menopause with no HRT, hard to deal with but hey ho I'm alive. Sorry you have shoulder pains as well, I know that's extremely painful, shoulders are very complicated because of all the complex movements they can do. Would love to go to the gym but tum still hurts with stress so puts me off, you sound very fit with all dog walking as well ! Well done you. Have a peaceful nights sleep, at least it's a short week this week. Think I might put George Michael on iPod now always helps me sleep, love his calming voice, xx

      Hi Lou hope you had a good day. I have to have loads of work done on my car before it passes its MOT. I hope your hubby is feeling a bit better today. I am going to have to rely on my son to take me to work tomorrow but he doesn't know this yet. He's probably gone to the Gym. Will ask him when he gets home.

      Busy day at work but my boss is so chaotic she doesn't know what she's doing half the time.

      Anyway its nice to catch up.😄

He is going to local hospital this week for X-ray as they have walk in centre found out today so that might work, how have you been today ? Your boss sounds crazy ha ha, I have been dizzy and wobbly today and stomach feels odd, like I say always something, Uugghh x

      Glad you have your lift sorted and yes am working tomorrow, hard when you don't feel like it eh! Oh it's so hard, this surgical menopause I'd getting me down a lot, every day it seems something else, and this heat is awful, the only thing I like is that I can get the washing dry! Sorry to moan, sometimes I feel like rushing to A and E And screaming at them to do something, always feel something horrible is going to happen to me at any time, scary , get sudden rushes of fear and doom and gloom, I try to rise above it but it kind of rushes over you like a panic, it's awful, not alone I know and it's hard to deal with, we women really do get a raw deal that's a fact, oh dear not a great night.

      Poor you I really feel for you. I really hope you feel better soon.

      Your right women do get a raw deal. Its horrid these dam hormones. But try and stay positive I know its hard I have had so many setbacks this year after loosing both parents.

      Try and relax and listen to George if you can.

      Onwards and upwards to coin a phrase.xxx
