Good morning all,from a freezing Sheffield (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdl5.glitter-graphics.net%2Fpub%2F369%2F369855l9dsk5dvxo.gif&hash=feb3d28071d3f6fa3ad6bd3d86775c8485bcefd5) (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)
I for one won't be going far today.
Last night the 'gas men' came and dug up the road just up from where I live.They came about 6pm and left at 10pm.I really felt for them working in that freezing cold,it was -8 here last night.
Have a good day and keep warm. :)

TD was stumped for a few minutes, his cursor was stuck in the middle of the screen and no amount of clicking or pushing the mouse around would budge it..... :'(
Have just discovered that I was holding mouse in left hand in the air, and was clicking and shoving on a pen....... :-X
Take me away.........be kind........be gentle............ :scare:

TD realises there was nothing wrong with the computer after all.

Morning all,
Cold and frosty here too, I think that's what's got into TD you know....making him do these strange things with his mouse :lol:
Got the TV repair chap coming today... :(, the new tv bought in September has to be "looked at". We always use headphones for sound on TV, mainly cos OH has a hearing problem but also because we find it better because you hear so much more (even of the bad noise ha). Anyway, we're only getting sound through the left earpiece now, it was working ok one minute then not the next and as we always leave them plugged in it's not at though we caused it ourselves. Tried other headphones in the socket just in case but it must be the tv as they are all the same... sigh. Hope it can be fixed as we really don't like to watch tv without them....
Hope you all have a good day today and manage to keep warm. Hope OhSnap and Kitz and anyone else not feeling 100% at the moment will soon be back to full steam ahead (or thereabouts lol).

Chrissie... I know what you mean about the TV sound and headphones .....sometimes the background music is so intrusive you can't hear the dialogue. I can understand some music in films, dramas etc.. but WHY do they have to play that infernal musak when asking the question on Who Wants to be Millionaire, I switched off last week. :( Hope you get the problem sorted. Just a thought, when I use headphone's I sometimes get the sound only in one ear piece, and I've found that the 'plug' into the audio system sometimes works a bit loose itself :'( and a twiddle usually sorts it; but I suspect you've already twiddled . :)
-
Still feeling quite back-painy today, but managing it with Panadol and Cura-heat pads. Quite handy in this cold weather :)
Popped out for something to eat at Lloyds, it was a lovely break as I'm job-applying online for admin jobs (Everyones hours at work have been slashed :( ) and Sam is writing an Essay on Crime and Sin and stuff. Some Criminology stuff.
Meeting Churee and Bjorn for some fun tonight. Can't wait!
-
Sorry to hear about your back problems, but you are probably going to be plagued by it for the rest of your life. I too had back trouble that started on and off in my teens until my mid 30's when I eventually slipped a disk (ouch!). I recovered from that but still get twinges from time to time. All you can really do is take strong pain killers when it's bad, always sit on the sofa with *cushions to support your lower back, and try and avoid awkward lifting.
* and/or a nice hot water bottle
-
Luckily my workmates and managers understand my back problem and do all th heavy lifting for me :)
I'm actually getting kind of used to it now and it rarely gets me so bad that I have to take painkillers.
-
If the pain is really bad see your GP and get him to prescribe Co Codamol 30/500.I have these for the pain in my knees.They are very strong and don't suit everyone,but they are very good. :)

-
I have plenty of co-codamol due to other things! Haha. (same type, too)
When I go to the doc, he prescribes me Diclofenac for my back. That sure works....
-
If that's those little brown tablets, then yes they are good. :)
-
Small update from me, still feeling pretty awful and being nagged to go to back to the docs. :-\
I feel ok if I rest, but as soon as I attempt to do anything or move around it doesnt take me long to feel really carp again.. and me being me hates going to the docs since I had enough of hospitals and doctors a year or so back.
I've made a half hearted attempt to put away what (very few and late put up) decos, but I dont have the energy to go get the boxes from up in the loft and put them all back, so they are now sat in a pile in the corner of the lounge.
However I really am going to have to get my arse in gear soon as Ive felt too carp to set foot outside the house for the past few days and my remaining food supplies (and cat food) are now beginning to dwindle:/
Anyhoooo my real reason for posting - I know TD had been asking about Ella and these are some snaps last time I was there just after xmas.
[attachment deleted by admin]

Yes, they are the little brown tablets.
awww Ella ^_^

Bit late today, had a visitor, my cousin came to see me, and we do yatter a bit. We don't see or speak to each other as often as we should she only lives about three miles away but its across town. I'll let you into a little secret it might be my birthday tomorrow, but don't tell everyone.
Probably to late to tell Oh Snap not to boogie to hard.
For the record I'm not taking any pills.
I do sympathise with those with back problems, have been fortunate not to have suffered chronic back pain, but I do know from the odd bout that its one of those nagging pains that wears you down.
Sorry to hear you're still feeling down Kitz, don't push yourself to hard, leave the decs, no one will notice, well they might but will be too polite to say anything. Tell the cats its takeaways this week and they'll have to go out and get their own. Get one of the supermarkets to deliver and stay in front of the fire, thats my motto.
-
Sorry couldn't see pics, you posted as I was typing and then Avast decided it needed to do an update.
Aww little cutie.
-
If that's those little brown tablets, then yes they are good. :)
Mine are big capsules(I ask for capsules as I find them easier to swallow.)
The 30/500 are not available without prescription,the 30 part is Codiene(which can make you feel a little 'high')The 500 part is paracetamol.
According to my GP the next step up from these is 'opiate' pain relief,ie morphine.He would not give me this type of pain relief beacause once you start taking it on a regular basis you will become dependant on them.
Surgery now closed :D
-
Oh dear, I am sory to read of all the aches and pains, and it does make me feel very thankful that despite age and the problems that it brings in it's train I have no pains and can avoid all these painkillers and remedies.........so far at least.
UnkyUb, the opiate route is no doubt a last resort and should be avoided if at all possible, morphine is nasty stuff to be hooked on.
I am sure you have investigated the possibilities of knee transplants, I know several people who have had new, "plastic" knees fitted and who swear by the process and who have never looked back after taking the plunge.
Kitz, don't force yourself, time will sort out the remnants of the lurgy and the stresses.
Thanks for the pictures of wee Ella, she is gorgeous... :)
:)

@ TD,yes 2 new knee's will be required at some stage.Although I have other problems with my leg.Some years ago while I was waiting for the bus to move off before I crossed the road a drunk driver skidded across the road and ploughed into me and my ex wife.
My right leg was badly broken,it was a compound fracture that took ages to heal.I spent 9 months in a full leg cast and nearly two years off work.I also had a broken arm and fractured shoulder.My ex wife had a fractured pelvis and broken leg.The impact knocked her through a privet hedge into a garden.
I went back to doing my job of a joiner,but over the years the physical strain of all the kneeling,climbing etc took its toll and now my knee's,bones and ankles all have severe arthritis. :(
-
Gosh it is like doctors surgery in here :'(
I'm sure the cold weather mustn't be helping many people either. :/
After another night of not feeling well and the pain in my left kidney now starting to really get to me, I took the plunge this am and phoned up the docs again for an appt. Unfort the surgery is only half day today and they dont have any appts until tomorrow...
...so I'll be a grumpy moany person for another day : :D
-

2 years ago (courtesy of the NHS) I received 2 new knee joints (metal and teflon) and can recommend them to all who suffer knee and cartilage problems. My arthritis had worn away all the load-bearing surfaces and you can imagine how painful it was. No looking back now - I even came out of medical retirement and back to work.
Pester your GP - it works if done politely and persistently and quoting "quality of life".

Oh dear, unkyUb, I had no idea that you had suffered such severe injuries..........no wonder the joints and legs make themselves known.
I hope that your ex-wife has recovered without lasting problems.
What a terrible experience..........I hope the errant driver was made to pay the full penalty for his actions.

Yes my ex wife recovered,the only problem being because of the pelvic injury she was only able to give birth at a later date by caesarean
The driver was fined £100 and banned for 1 year(it was 30 years ago)
-
Good grief the dreadful story of Unc's and Kitz's continuing kidney problem knocks my back pain into a cocked hat ..... :o
Kitz can you not call the doctor out ? getting cold trailing to a surgery won't do you any good .... do take care :) :hug:
What a terrible thing to happen Unc ... and you are now left to pick up the pieces so to speak :( you take care too :) :hug:
The driver was fined £100 and banned for 1 year(it was 30 years ago) Why does that not surprise me >:(
-
The driver gets fined a small amount and loses his liberty to drive for a whole year.............but the innocent parties suffer the consequences of his drunkenness for the rest of their lives.
No justice at all..................terrible.

I totally agree,it happened on the 1st December 1978.We spent 6 months at my mum's being cared for after 2 weeks in hospital.
-
OMG UncleUB that's horrendous. Drink Driving is not taking seriously enough in my opinion, the penalties should be a lot harsher, all too often the aftermath of someones stupidity are never taken into account.
-
Personally I think that anyone who causes death by drunken driving should lose their license for life.

I would extend that ( with additional punishment) to causing death by any sort of driving.
-
I second all those comments.
The driver didn't even get a scratch.The car ended up wedged between the bus and a garden wall.All I remember was seeing this car coming towards us sideways on,I turned then the next thing I;m laid on my back looking up at the bus doors and remember the inspector on the radio for the emergency services.There was one other person who got off the bus with us,he was laid on my leg that wasn't broken.I thought he was dead.Turned out he had only sustained minor cuts and bruises.
I didn't think about my ex wife at first then kept asking where she was.When the fire brigade came I remember someone shouting,'there's someone in this garden' The car had knocked her through the garden hedge.
Still after 30 years a nightmare for me.

That's more or less what I meant. The life ban from driving should be accompanied by a mandatory life sentence, instead of a paltry 2 years or whatever.
