Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Wednesday midweek already, the days are going fast. I hope that you are all in good health and that you have a pleasant day. I am posting somewhat early as I can't get back to sleep, but might end up nodding off in a while, which is mostly down to the morphine.

Do you have anything planned for today? I have two friends dropping by later today, which is good. One probably around lunch time, and the other after work. Still struggling to walk, but it will get easier, at least i hope so.

[emmie]

Phoned the GP surgery yesterday to ascertain when the district nurse will come round, to check on the dressing, and to see how i am doing...
also to get a repeat prescription for the pain, as the hospital only supplied a small amount.

[1ozzy]

It surely will.
Hopefully each and every day will bring improvement.
Patience and persistence,,

morning 1ozzy

[emmie]

hard going though, can't stand up and eat as that doesn't work, could do with a carer for a little while, but i am not sure how you get one, do you suppose i should contact the local authority and check out what they might offer short term.

[1ozzy]

Yes, contact every possibility and ask.
The noisy wheel gets the most oil.
I'm sure many abers that live in the UK can advise who to contact.
You should do so.

[emmie]

i guess so...

how are you today?

[Arksided]

Awe bless you Emmie, I think that’d be a good course of action, hopefully someone on here might know about these things and offer good advice. All the best to you Xx

morning Arky

[emmie]

thanks Arky, will do, as i reckon someone must know where to start.

[1ozzy]

Post a question in body and soul.
Buenchico, no doubt, will interrogate google and supply lots of options.
Others will post what they did.
Sqad will recommend Ibuprofen and monitor the situation.
Best wishes.
Take care.

[emmie]

thanks 1ozzy, already have meds supplied by the hospital, diacodeine, paracetamol, morphine should be sufficient...
