Title: Have to take time out
Post by: shirlton on August 25, 2007, 18:46:14
Hi everyone. I may not have the time to get on here for a while. Mom is not too well at the moment So I won't have the time to get on here as much as usual what with running up and down stairs. She is off her legs at the moment. I just hope that it isn't a thrombosis cos she's had a few mini strokes this year. Have to wait until morning to see if she's feeling any better. If not will have to go the the A and E. Hope to be back in circulation soon. Keep a seat for me meanwhile. Love Shirl

Shirley. Would just like to send best wishes for Mum. I hope things are not too serious, especially now the weather seems to be making a change for the better when she could have enjoyed some time at the allotment.. Take care of yourself I know how being a carer can be so exhausting.
Try and let us know how things are.
Love Lorna. xx

Posie,
          I haven't spoken to shirlton either, like you I too just wanted to give some support,
You can sit on the other side of her if you like :)

There you go shirlton,
                                 when you tell your mum everybody is sending their best I'm sure this will perk her up a wee bit ;)

Hi Shirl best wishes to your mother and hope she's feeling better, and as above look after yourself because you'll be no good to mum if you wear yourself out. :-* ;D ;D ;D

Hello I'm back. Mom has got water retention in her legs. Thank goodness it wasn't a clot. We stayed at home with her all weekend after taking her to A&E. Then on Monday I was poorly. Had to go to the Asthma clinic yesterday and got my medication revued. Results of a mispent life smoking I'm afraid. We popped to the plot yesterday to gather what we could.I can't believe how fast things grow when you don't go for a few days. I spent most of yesterday afternoon blanching beans and chopping tomatoes. Still have loads of courgettes. Had some last night done in the pan with olive oil and paprika. I think this was the nicest way of doing them so far. And so very easy. I might just have an aubergine tonite. Thankyou all for your kind messages. Love Shirl

Oh Shirl, I'm so sorry to read this just now...I was away from the 24th for a long weekend....

Please remember to give your mum all my very very best regards - and tell her I'll come over to sing her a song any time ;)....now, is that a promise or a threat? Anyway, it's guaranteed to have her back on her pins and running for the hills, I reckon ;D

Was wondering what the heck you'd do with all the produce from THREE allotments ::)....you got a good pitch in the Bull Ring market stalls yet?

Again, love to your mum.

We eat it all Lish. You know you will be welcome to come whenever you wish. Just have to let me know so that I can be there at Erdy for you. You won't believe it but I think I've got our Bunjy straightening out her beds, Copped her with a spade the other day going down the edges. Hope you had a nice break.
