Day One Hundred & Twenty-One

Substitute blog writer on hand tonight ..... we are not able to access internet regularly at the moment so just a brief update to let you know things are OK.

Sharon has had a husky voice the past couple of days, and a bit of a cough. However, this evening she seems to be doing a lot better. Probably also due to the fact that we welcomed a visit from Claire who is here with us for a couple of days. She has been a great lift for Sharon and they have had a lot of fun today. They are also both recovering from a lot of laughter after meeting up with Ann at lunchtime.

Thank you too to Charis, Sandra & Claire's Mum for all the goodies you sent with Claire :)

Day One Hundred & Nineteen

It's been lovely to catch up with people today by phone, email, skpye etc & it was great to see Sue this afternoon. I've been feeling a bit better today - my throat is still sore & I've been coughing a bit but the flu pains are much better now. We got to go out for a walk this afternoon and it was amazing to see daffodils everywhere....Spring is such a lovely time of year.

Claire is coming over to visit for a couple of days tomorrow & I can't wait to see her and catch up on the last few months!! I'm sorry Charis can't make it this time but look forward to seeing you another time.

Sandra & Julie - we are thinking of you both and hope you recover well & feel much better soon :)

Day One Hundred & Seventeen

Congratulations to my cousin Jonathan and Edel who got married today!! We're so sorry we couldn't be there to share the day with you & all the family. Thank You SO much for the huge surprise of the beautiful flowers you sent :)

Thankfully, I slept much better last night but I'm still feeling achy today and have a sore throat so have been dosing on lemsip & throat sweets for day!

Day One Hundred & Sixteen

Just a quick update to let you all know that I'm doing ok. I am starting to feel a little fluey this evening but that's all part of the reaction to the medication and should pass in a couple of days. I'm also quite tired as I've been waking up in the middle of the night the last couple of nights and not able to sleep properly. This evening I've had a bit of a down time - the first time in months that I've really felt like that but I'm sure the tiredness doesn't help :( Looking forward to hopefully having a good night's sleep & feeling better in the morning.
