Morning Linda Great news about Loki

Morning Grandma See, they felt really sorry for you after your telephone calls, and they've now put their act together and you are high priority. I hope you like the shade of chocolate, maybe we can have a piccy when it's finally been put into position, and good luck with that bit too, watch them like a hawk!!

Morning Jackie Yes, we're back to all the wet and mud here too this morning, just when they'd promised me a whole month of the dry crispy stuff. Zena will be in overalls from this day forward

Morning Jenny LOL at you there last night down those steps, and hopefully, we're allowed to laugh cos you don't seem to have done any damage to yourself Bet that was soooooo funny to watch though, definitely would have made you've been framed Headache now gone after a morning walk thanks! Enjoy your day

You are evil laughing at poor Jenny [I only had a little snigger, honest ]

Hope you are OK Jenny - maybe take a torch next time? Just make sure that in the future you

'morning Helena and all above

We have +1 C at the moment but it was - 6 C during the night so quite a bit of ice around, OH is going out latter but they have already been down our road with the gritter so hopefully she should be OK.

Jenny, you can buy 'anti-slip' tape from people like Screwfix and a few strips on those steps might be a good idea, it's no joke when you fall, I did it on some wet grass a few years ago and broke my leg and I know someone on here who did much worse.

Hope you all have a good day and if you're into internet shopping (I've given up on it now ) then today is going to be the busiest in the year so expect a few 'server overloads'

Sorry H, I didn't catch that you had a headache. I'm glad it has gone - the walk does sometimes help, doesn't it?

Ooh Malka, I have everything crossed that your nice chocolate chair will come and be the right shade of chocolate (not white chocolate! )

Good morning all.

Well, a busy, busy morning so far even though my sister is visiting today.

Thanks to a lovely lady on here (and thanks for the pm in case you didn't see my post yesterday - it has been a godsend), I have phoned the hospital twice this morning. I'm still awaiting a call regarding seeing Gary's consultant, but my second call was to the ward. I told them that others have suffered very similar symptoms to Gary after starting on Keppra medication. I also told them that I have now read the side effects this drug can cause (thanks again, lovely lady ):

They are now ringing the neurologist rather than the duty doctors for advice and are looking at another MRI scan.

As my sister has just said, if it does turn out to be the drug, it's a bit of a ****** that you have to get info from the internet to sort it rather than it being picked up on straight away in the hospital

Anyway, for the first time in two weeks and after a really horrible time yesterday when I visited, I feel more positive. I was really worried that the next move would turn out to be to a psychiatric ward, but now, well.............. phew! (I hope)

Apologies for not getting too involved in the daily threads (apart from to off-load and think out loud), but what a godsend for places like this where people are so willing to help and advise others xx

Have a good 'un all

I hope it goes well Brierly - look up the side effects on the internet for Keppra - it lists numerous things such as mood and behaviour changes, aggression, seeing or hearing things that aren't really there etc.

Big hugs and I hope they sort this out.

ETA - oh I'm so dim you have posted it already. Sorry hun, I'm not with it this morning. (Blush!)

Morning Helena,Morning all
Gosh what a morning,we all overslept so it was panic stations

Damp morning here,although it's stopped raining now and warmer here this morning

Luke has an appointment at the dentist this morning after suffering toothache all weekend and been in constant pain with it

Nothing much planned for today,

I hope those that are feeling poorly get better soon and the poorly doggies too,

Chris I hope you get some good news about Gary today x

Have a good day all x

Chris that is absolutely shocking - you would have thought that the consultant should have been aware of the possible side effects of Keppra. I do hope it is sorted out and that Gary can be moved to the hospital nearer you.

(((hugs))) xx

Good morning All,
Wet old day!!! Dogs seem quite happy , Got them a new bed yesterday!!!I have a cage in my bedroom and they now prefer to snuggle up in it togther with all there blankets & there THUNDERCOATS on, Thats good as Eller is Getting away from me as she is so clingy
Luck with all your pets.

Morning Harvey That tape sounds good, and I noticed B&Q also do an anti-slip step paint, so I might well be getting myself a big tin of that for my back steps. I could always let her out the back via the conservatory though if things got really bad. You stay safe in that icy weather H, ours has changed back to mud!

Thanks Linda, I'm back on top form again now, nothing survives long inside me before it finds its escape!!!

Morning Chris, and thank goodness for that pm or e-mail whatever it was you got, now you can get stuck into sorting out that medication for poor Gary. Imagine the poor people who don't have anyone to do it for them hey? I'll be one of those sadly

Morning Sal Hope you get poor Luke sorted at the dentists today, nothing quite like toothache is there. Enjoy a quiet(ish) day then Sal.

Morning joohnboy good luck with that cage snuggling, that should cure Eller of this separation anxiety, she will now prefer her cage companion to you hopefully and you can then get out whenever you want without any worries. All the best with that, and glad to hear they're still doing well. I'm just giving my girl a 5 day course and she's on her 3rd day now, so hopefully, she'll be fine again by the end of hers.
