Glad your ears are feeling better. Do you use things like menthol crystals, Vicks etc to try & clear the sinuses? I use the crystals, thry blow your head off lol but you feel clearer.
Your health care system is so different to ours. If any of our health care people retire, we’re assigned to someone else. I can see in the future we’ll have to start paying for medical treatment, hopefully if it happens, we’re no longer here. I hope you can find someone for your eyes, awful when you can’t see clearly, especially in the dark..  See you back here when the February pottery lottery arrives. I have a busy week of appointments next week, then hopefully that’ll be it until April. Take care Ginger xx

Hi Ginger, hope the feeling in your ears continues to improve. Awful feeling like that. See what they say when they look at mine tomorrow lol. Be glad to get that appointment out of the way. At the dentist this morning, back to have a tooth out later. These medical things always come all at the same time. I have my mammogram next week. Hopefully that’s it lol. I have to be careful indoors too, think we all do. I have a night light in the bedroom, couldn’t be without it especially as I’m up a couple of times in the night. Maybe I’ll see better when I get my cataracts done, will be getting eyes tested in March & hopefully they’re ready to be done as I’m not seeing too well now. Carry on taking care of yourself Ginger, soon be Spring ❤️❤️

Hi Ginger
So pleased to hear you’re getting there & feeling better than you did.  The hospital appointment is one I’m pleased has been brought forward & I hope they can assure me my ears are clear. I’m never putting anything in my ears again lol, it just leads to long term trouble. Do our minds play tricks on us in that we remember winters gave plenty of snow & Summers were hot& sunny every day, as that’s how I remember it. I do know that our winters now are overall a lot milder & wetter. They’re warning more snow coming next weekend & colder temperatures again.  The snow is so pretty to look at but not if you have to walk on it lol. I’m scared of falling now. Getting old ain’t fun at times. Xx

Hi Ginger
10 days  isn’t fun to feel so poorly is it? So many things going around this time of year. More bad weather supposed to be coming for next weekend, so we’ll see. We get a rough Winter every so often, but, when I was a kid, snow was guaranteed & it was much more than we get now. The country kept going, I remember sitting in my hat & coat in school because the heating was broken. Now, they close the schools. We get an inch of snow & it’s a disaster lol. Trains don’t run, roads closed, it’s crazy. You’re better equipped to cope & I bet most things just carry on as normal.
Trevor’s cough was the best it’s been last night so hopefully it’s leaving the building lol.  He has his retinal screenin this afternoon, the brought his appointment forward, which is good & my ENT appointment in March has come forward to next Wednesday, which I’m happy about. I have the dentist next week & mammogram at the end of the month. I know I have a tooth that has to come out. 2 root canal’s haven’t fixed it so I’ll be going back for that & my plate will be useless as it sits next to the dodgy tooth. This mean I’ll need a new plate. Honestly, I something’s think it would be easier to whip them all out. But I’m too young to be gummy yet lol. Carry on getting better Ginger ❤️❤️

Hi Ginger
We had a bad weekend of weather. Snow & ice on Saturday, temperatures sat at freezing all day. Then snow into Sunday but it had turned to rain when we were getting up. The snow was all washed away mid morning. It was a day to stay at home, the dog walks were very short lol.
They increased my statins, doubled the dose before Christmas, by Christmas I wasn’t feeling great & just got worse. I spoke to the in house pharmacist yesterday for my annual meds review. She’s put me back down to original dose, couldn’t understand the increase as my ready was just 2. I’m hoping to feel better by the end of the week. Just lethargic & woolly head.   Your cold has knocked you back hasn’t it. At least the weather isn’t nice & you have the perfect excuse for staying nice & warm indoors. Hope you soon get some energy back. Hubby has acquired a silly cough, ok during the day, but awful as soon as we got to bed. Both of us not getting de ent sleep. He’s taking some cough stuff but he might need something else. Definitely not on his chest so no antibiotics needed. These things hang around for weeks now.
Will be back here next week when I’ve grown some gold. Hopefully catch you next week, & we’re both back to ‘normal’. Take care Ginger ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Ginger. It's winter sales time, don't really need things and don't enjoy shopping so I just had a look around with a friend. Ended up getting a purple light coat for 10 euro. Love the color purple and it's a small size that suits me just right.
I see from the message below that you didn't feel well, hope you are better now and also weather has improved.
:)

Pleased you’re on the mend Ginger. These colds nowadays are nastier than they used to be.
A damaging storm has hit the Sluthern part of the country. Plenty have had snow while we’ve just had a lot of heavy rain & set for the day too. I guess it’s what we have to expect when it’s winter. But these storms cause way more damage than back in the day *sigh*. Carry on taking good care of yourself xxx

Be strong, Ginger

Stay warm, take measures Ginger.

Hi Ginger has your heating and bathtub issues being sorted out yet? I have a couple of friends who have no heating or hot water at the moment. It's horrible. Let alone leaking in the home.
Gemma's oven broke, her washing machine, TV and the blinds. It always happens close to Christmas xxx
