Good Morning Blogeroos
Christmas has been and gone, New Year isn't here yet, so its neither one thing or another. Did you have a nice Christmas? was Santa good to you? I must have been a very good girl as he brought me an Ipad2, its going to take a bit of getting used to, already downloaded a couple of games/websites, and started sending emails from it, but its currently on charge so have reverted back to my trusty notebook this morning.
Gary is on nightshift, so is currently tucked up asleep, he is getting up around lunchtime, as we have to pop out for an hour.
I am recovering well from my recent operation, taking each day as it comes, I certainly didn't realise just how bad I would feel though. At the moment I am due to go back to work next week, but looking at my recovery I think I might need the extra week, as suggested by the doctor. He did warn me not to overdo it or rush it.
I have been 'pottering' around, sitting knitting, chilling on the sofa in front of black/white films on tv, sleeping when I want to.
Thank you for all the lovely get well cards and messages
- they are much appreciated
Live, Laugh and love,
Happy New Year,

Hello
Hello Friends
Am currently sat at home recouperating from my Gall Bladder operation, I was very lucky to get it done quickly, and in the Plymouth Nuffield Hospital thanks to my work healthcare. Mr Coleman and his team were wonderful especially when I started to cry because as Gary put it, this was the first 'major' operation either of us have ever undergone. They really put me at ease from the reception staff upwards. I was the first one in, in the morning, so was back in the room by 11am, and Gary was in talking to me by 11.30am. Jam Sandwiches and Coffee later in the afternoon, more sleep, and then a cooked meal of Chicken and Vegetables, followed by fruit platter and more coffee. Lots of painkillers and when I said I wasn't good at taking tablets they found me the disolvable ones. More visits by the surgeon, anaestetist and various nurses to check all was OK. Came home yesterday morning, feeling very tired and sore, so more sleep followed, more medication and then some more food. I have such a wonderful husband who is really looking after me, making sure I don't overdo it, he has even been down to Morrisons to get the last of the Christmas shopping, certainly not his favourite hobby !!
Christmas will certainly be a quiet occasion this year, instead of the big family meal which was planned, it will be just us and the mother in law, we might go and visit the family to exchange some presents, but that depends on how I feel on the day.
I am hopeful that we might be able to celebrate New Year at bit more.
Look out for some photos which I might out on here later, from our recent nights out. Very little crafting has gone on recently due to my not being too well. I am really looking forward to getting back to some serious scrapbooking at the Liskeard Retreat in the middle of January.
Live, Laugh and love,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

Happy Monday
Good Morning Peeps
Its another damp and miserable Monday, more rain is forecast, but am only at work for two more days. Then off to Hospital on Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed for me, so if I am missing for a while, please bear with me, I could well be tucked up asleep for several days.
I want to wish all my friends a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Peaceful and Healthy New Year

Happy Weekend
Happy Weekend everyone,
Its a day of crafting for me at the Liskeard Crop, my bags are packed, its windy and raining outside so the drive will be 'challenging', Jill will be here in a while, as we are going together, have borrowed Gary's car, as the boot space is bigger, and we will need it. Taking some colour photos of the different cars we have had over the years, and a few b/w photos of me and Pete as kids, so plenty of LOs to choose from.
Tonight am out for a Curry (bit of a problem for me as I don't like curry !)
but am going out with Gary's shift, so thats what they chose.
On Wednesday morning I am going into Hospital for an operation, hopefully only keyhole and back out the following day, with a couple of weeks recovering, so keep your fingers crossed for me. If I am missing for a few days don't worry, I will be back.
Gary will have numbers to let people know how things go, but he won't post here. You will have to wait for me......

Its Confirmed
Well at LOOOOONNNNG last...its been confirmed, my pain is caused by gallstones, gallbladder inflammation and stones blocking ducts!! the radiologist has faxed my doctors the report, now I have to wait on the doctor writing to the specialist for an appointment to discuss surgery, but apparently it is quite urgent and I will probably have the operation in the coming weeks, so now I am having to rush the festive preparations in case it happens (as expected) this side of Christmas.
My health is certainly more important than work and other appointments I / we have in the coming weeks, so have got to cancel things and cut back on others firstly because of the pain I am currently in, and then the operation, depending on how they do it (could be a keyhole job or a full blown open your tummy job) and then obviously the recovery time. I am lucky that I have 'healthcare' through work, which enables me to go into the local Nuffield hospital and not to have to wait on a long list.
