third attempt aol decided to crash before i could save tut not posted lately,had an attack of the fuzzies as someone with MS i know calls it. you know what you want to say,but nothing comes out.so here we go again lets see if i can get this posted. mum has had an awful time with her feet in awful pain yesterday we went to chiropodists for her appointment. she was in there 20 mins,had feet cut about,has infection between toes,and gout is causing lot of problems. chiropodist explained she should never have had the shower she had friday, as getting wet had made the infection worse,also carer hadn't dried between toes properly. so mum came home in tears,feet bandaged up with orders to keep dressings on until next thursday when she goes again. this has been going on for so long now for her and she really is being brave,but she went to bed a while ago,and i could hear her crying. and that's my mum. hate this for her. i had words with carer today all im saying on that.
weather not been brilliant,we have had a lot of frosts, my greenhouse had turned into the dumping ground for all the appliances that have gone wrong lately,tv,fridge,tumble drier. brian finally and i mean about bloody time lol took them away for us on his truck so i was able to get in and work. in 3 places rats have tunnelled under greenhouse and damaged the cement base boards causing the glass to slip down 2 inches. so i did all that,its now all secured and 2 rat traps sit baited in greenhouse must remember to watch toes. bought several plug plants from Morrisons spermarket really good value 15 geraniums 24 petunias which i got 41 from.24 double petunias,43 from,and 2 times 24 busy lizzies. 2 flower pouches already planted up with busies, rest been pricked inyo larger cell trays ready for hanging baskets and pots. maybe spring finally coming? had meant to write more will post again soon thanks to all my jland friends for your kind comments,i'm sorry if ive not been visiting some of you for while. hope to get round you all soon just not been good time lately and maybe just maybe lol i am missing someone special who has gone to spain for 2 weeks. and apparently the weather not very good there either take care all

Hi Mort sorry to hear about your mum must be awful for her, especially with no pain relief available, and your not feeling to good either. You didn't mention donald and Jem have they stopped comming round. the weather was quite warm here today, though got got quite chilly in the afternoon. you did well with the plants from Morrisons my mum always had Busy lizzies, though African violets were her favourite.
Regards to your mum
Take care

glad to see you are well enough to post. You must handle the MS really well. I know the aggravation caused by lack of attention to details on Mum's toes has to be frustrating with everything else that has piled up. Anyway it is great to read the entry and know you are up and around. Hang in there!...Jack
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum being in so much pain. I feel bad for people who deal with pain daily.
Watch your toes in that greenhouse with those rat traps laying about. What a nightmare that would be to get your foot caught in one! OUCH!
Glad you got your old appliances hauled off. I'm lucky, my brother has a truck and he hauls off stuff when I need that done.
Hope you have a good evening...and give your Mum an extra big hug for me ok?
Hugs and love to you Mort,
Pam xoxox
I'm sorry you were feeling fuzzy Mort. I'm really sorry for your mother as well and know how hard it in on you as well. She is your mother and you hate to see her suffer. Prayers for both of you.
Hugs, Joyce
Still think it's awful your mum is left in so much pain. Will email.
Mort I am so sad your Mum is in so much pain ~ in this day and age you would think there would be something they could do to ease her pain ~ it must be dreadful for you hearing her crying ~ Glad you are getting things done in the Greenhouse ~ hope you can get rid of those rats ~ I was looking at those plants in Morrisons didn't buy any though maybe I will when I go there next time ~ you sound like you got some good bargains ~ Ally x

Told you I was going to visit Journals. I don't get an alert when you post but you had said you were going to so decided to check in. Your poor mum. She is a brave lady. Sounds like you have done a lot to your greenhouse. Can't wait to see when it warms up. Must go. Joe and Spunky just got home. Lucy

Hello my fav other man, I totally sympathise, There Is nothing worse than finishing an entry and not being able to save It! Very frustrating, speaking of which, I am glad you had words with that so called carer. Hmmm. I feel really vexed for your mum. What a shame having to go through all that pain. I hope It all gets better for her and fast. You keep your chin up and take It easy In that garden. lol. I know! I am moaning at you again. Mind your toes!!! ;-) Love Pam xx
Hi Dearie! I am feeling some better. able to be online a few minutes at a time without feeling tired and sleepy. You know i have diabetes right? whenever i have something i need heal on my feet i do 2 things , i use a natural aniseptic, such as oil of oregano or hydrogen peroxide, or even calamine lotion.then i prop my feet up on a massager that vibrates gently with a heat feature as well. the blood is able to circulate and it helps heal faster. Even for just tiredness this helps my feet feel like new. I notice nurses and such dont take care of patients feet, with diabetes i have to take care of my feet and pamper them. whenever i vist any one in hospital the first thing i do is massage feet and trim the toenails. I have so many footfiles even a battery operated one , lol well getting tired so will end here , xxx june
shame about the rain...sister had it for 5 outa her 7 days never mind she will be back soon and lots of internet cafes there so u can still chat...take care x
