    Thank you for the suggestions for losing some of the blubber!

     

    Gruesome description of injury:

     

    I tore the rotator cuff in my right shoulder in January using a chukkit stick to throw a ball for the dogs. It was sore but bearable. A couple of weeks later the dogs, bless them, pulled me over and I landed on the same shoulder - and that hurt like hell. Went to A&E and was told it was bruising. Spent many weeks in loads of pain, no sleep etc. I eventually saw my GP, had an ultrasound - two torn tendons. It was repaired in June. One tendon was a full thickess tear, the other, which attached my bicep to wherever a bicep attaches, had been torn right off. It was reattached lower down my arm. Recovery is 6 months plus.

     

    I have to say it's amazing what I've learned to do with my left hand. Ieven bought one of those bras that pull on over your head but it was no match for my boobs which are heading very far south these days.!! Also getting clothes over my head was nigh on impossible. It takes a long time to recover strength and a full range of movement - I'm working on it now with a v good pysio who I'm sure is a complete sadist but won't admit it.

    I have a photo but struggling to remember how to attach it.

    ive put a stone on too, need to get it back off, so suggestions for the two of us would be useful please lol

     

    Spins waddles out of the lurking cupboard to plead for the best weight loss method suggestions. I've had a hurty since January, it was mended in June but recovery is long and slow - hence many months of lurking. If someone pushed me on a slope I'd roll right down.

    It's nothing too drastic but looks quite good - shoulder - rotator cuff repair. A good dog related injury - Co and Flo pulled me over. It wasn't their fault, I'd just got them out of the car and next door let their puppy out, no collar or lead, and she ran past them. They lunged after her. Result, Spins4me crashing to the ground and landing on the right shoulder. Had it fixed last week. It's technicolour.

     

    Thanks Yantan. Just need to twiddle with it to get it on here - I may be some time.

    Oh yes - one other thing - has anyone got any experience of the menopause and the sort of symptoms I've been having (anxiety, depression, angry, confused and some physical symptoms too - like a head full of jelly!) OH is convinced it's my age....

     

    Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. Sorry you're having these symptoms. ..:GroupHug: Your GP can check your hormone levels with a blood test. HRT does help but your GP will most likely want you to stop taking it at some point. I found that the symptoms returned when Instopped it. Apparently that doesn't happen f or everyone. I'm now seeing a gynaecologist who's agreed to let me stay on HRT for the rest of my life. I told him I might commit murder if he took me off it! . :ohmy:

     

    Hope you getbsome answers soon. :GroupHug:

    I have my nipple biopsy this morning ....and I am wibbling ... not sure why but I'm more stressed out about this than I was about having my eye done or any other stuff I've had to have in the past :wacko: not worried about the results as no one seems to think its cancer thank goodness and hopefully the result will enable them to prescribe summat to stop the damned itching which will be a very good thing. All the stuff they've sent me says this couldf be "uncomfortable" and depending upon what type of biopsy I have (and I wont know that til I'm there) could be painful/uncomfortable for a while after ... if they were biopsying the main breast I dont think I'd be half as wound up as I am over it being the rather more sensative nipple area.

    Hmmmm why has everyone decided that grass is bad? 90% of the houses I'm looking at seem to have either paving slabs, concrete or decking for the whole garden area :wacko: Hubby seems to think paving slabs/concrete would be smelly with Nog weeing on them all the time part of me thinks the same but I also think maybe it would be easier to keep the house clean with no muddy feet on what will be MY rather than the RAF's carpets :laugh: those of you who don't have grass - do you find it gets smelly? If so how do you deal with that?

     

    Hi! Creeping out of the woodwork to say:

    We have about two thirds grass and the rest paved. The grass bit is fenced off with a gate and now it's winter the dogs only go on the paved area. Ours gets smelly and green ( yuk!). The green bit is because it's rather a gloomy area and doesn't dry out too well. We use a jet washer to get rid of the green stuff and use Safe4 Pets odour killer and disinfectants. Not the cheapest but a little goes a long way.

    Much better than loads of mud in the house. :flowers:
