What have you been doing today?

[achookwoman]

Ouch, not very nice when they make a mess of blood being taken. Ral should have asked for a lolly because of what he had to endure and a very big bandage on his arm to show that he had a 'sore.' Or at the very least a Batman bandaid or similar.

Well done Chookie. I do hope the service people turned up.

Cookie, thanks, this gave us a good laugh.
Good and bad day yesterday. Gardener came, good.
Dishwashing machine lady came, good.
Picked up GS from school and he finished off the scones, good.
2 phone calls from two different specialists, bad.  Platelets dropped again.
They are trying to find a bed at Melbourne Hospital to do a procedure.  Can’t be done in Ballarat.
Will probably be in hospital 2 or 3 days.

Well done Chookie ,still waiting to hear from our washing machine man . Hope Ral’s procedure in Melbourne goes well .
Cleaned up the lunch room in shearing shead .

A pity about that Chookie but if it’s needed then it has to be done.  I hope they don’t keep you waiting too long for the bed.  Love to Ral. 

I filled in for the ladies bowls team at the nursing home today, what fun that was.

Oh that isn't good Chookie. Will you be able to stay with the family ? I hope it goes well. Take care Ral.

Chookie I hope all goes well in Melbourne for Ral. Sending hugs to you both.

Sorry tohear that Ral's platelet count has gone down, that mustn't have been expected after his recent stay in hospital.  Will it be back to Epworth for him?

Big hugs to you both and hoping that the treatment is successful.

Mostly sorted for Ral. RoyalMelbourne only place they can do procedure.  Bed at Melbourne Private, so good.   DD driving us to Melbourne.  Staying with DS.

[judydawn]

Me too LOL.  I had a Probus meeting then lunch with some of the girls today followed by my daily visit to Mum in the nursing home. I currently have my feet up, it’s quite warm today.

It's been a bit warm here too Judy. Heating up next week. I am well and truly over summer and we haven't had the heat that a lot of you have had.

When I reread what I have been doing I realize it sounds crazily busy . So I tried to stop today to read for awhile that didn't work . Tried to register DD for netball , hour later I gave up sent an email asking for help . Had to calm down so watered trees and fig trees , feed and sorted chook food out .. missing DS mussels to get four bags of chook food out of the car . Tried again after link sent to me for netball hopefully it has worked , all my girlfriends said they did not like doing it either .
