    I have recently cracked it. Just concentrate on doing the lying down exercises, I never reach the end. Usually manage 6 hours

    Download pocket physio from the App Store, I checked with the physics who thought it good. I usually aim for 20 of each, leg out to side, careful not to cross midline on way back. Buttock clenches, knee bend towards bum in particular.

    Hi marilyn

    I have basicly forgotton what a good nights sleep is after not being able to sleep for long over the last three years. It was made worse when I had my hystorectomy. Then got even worse after having the first hip done as the Bonjovi song goes * I'll sleep when I'm dead "  rolleyes lol

      that saying is so true sadly that came true for my daughter in Jan 2014 , hubby found her in bed sadly she was chronic alcoholic pm showed she had severe liver disease just a matter of time she was evicted from her home at the end of Nov 2013 at least we had her back at home for 2 months, even now there are times when I can feel her round me what helped me to come to terms with it was being in touch with a medium and she and I have become great friends

      Thoughts with you M.

      No-one can know.

      My 21 year old daughter drowned while on holiday in 1994.

      Words mean little but my own, broken heart reaches out to yours.

      I am sorry to read that marilyn.No parent should go through that.

       I love watching long island medium on TV. Not sure if I believe these mediums or not. I am sceptical. But I am interested..

      Thank you we have another who lives here Cromer too she has given us a lot of support, I found the best advise the doctor told me was talk and talk do not bottle it up, I found a lovely medium who helped immensely and still keep in touch with her, Liz would of been 41 last June. Just seen the weather for the week where's the sun cream lol xx

      I lost my mother to cancer 16 years ago and I bottled it up. No one to turn too and it took me 7 years to just sort of get over it. There are not many people I trust to be able to talk like that. I have had a pretty bad time with hospitals doctors and entist in the past. So I am always on my guard. If they giive me meds and they don't tell me what they are and why I refuse to take them. I have an intence needsle phobia and it is so bad I have actually in the past broken a male nurses nose when he didn't take me seroiusly. I would be a millionaire if I could sue all the medicle people who just say you are being stupid get over it. They don't know what I have gone through. They don't understand.

      Oh poor you, I don't know how anyone copes with something like that,

      If the medium helps you talk it all through, and feel a little better,

      it must be good

    I've been to bed , lasted at least 20 minutes then the burning in my buttocks/scar area needed ice, so here I am making yet another cup of tea. 

    Chair ready, ice pack in place, thick book on floor to keep bad leg higher otherwise I find cuts off circulation. Got really swollen knee, ankle doing all the right things, elevation, ice etc. all under control!  No complaints!! My husband andI i have been fortunate enough to build a new bungalow on our farm in Kent. I am a very lucky lady. I am standing at the window in my new kitchen looking at the moon. It is so bright I don't need the lights on. 

    It is a beautiful evening, 

    oh well, to the trusty chair I think as I seem to be able to sit slightly to one side taking the pressure off. I know you all know what I mean!!!!!😁

    hope you are all well

    thanks for being there

There was a lot of walking and a lot of standing around I was completely cream crackered when we got home and went straight to bed woke up at 9.00am this morning. Trouble was I still felt sleepy lol. Overdid it yeah probbly do it again yeah definitely. Today we went to RSPCA at East Winch open day, then to Marham to see the Vulcan bomber fly over had a lazy evening and day off tomorrow lol.  Now saying goodnight. xxx
