@Tykey Good Morning "Thank you" put like that I it appears didn't gain any weight haha only time will tell when hopefully swelling disappears

My staples come out at 10am today counted approx 40 of them not sure if they remove all at once go or take alternative, plus got a morning filled with Xrays / blood tests etc in preparation for my next meeting w/surgeon on the 6/11
Thursday & Friday will be on my own as hubby has to go away on business but I now feel confident enought to be left ( might even lose weight haha )
@Izabel Hi - have sent you an email not sure if you've gotten it ..
Like you I also enjoy my own company especially when I have the freedom to come & go
Weather - temperature dropped so fast that it was a shock. one week ago 29 degree now only 15 degrees plus the houses here are built to keep the heat out so they are cold in the Winter - we have just ordered a couple of tonnes of wood but for time being I'm using the A/C on heat as I can't carry wood in.
All in all a good excuse to lie on the sofa wrapped in blankets and have a cup of hot ovalmaltine

Hope you are feeling better today.
The dogs hate the thunderstorms the spaniel shivers and shakes and the daschund whom thinks she is a miniature version of a Doberman barks at it haha - I have run out of tramadol ( he only prescribed 1 packet of 18 pills) so hopefully I can get a prescription today .... do the doctors seriously think I'm going to get addicted to it ... "enfim" as the Portuguese say...
Have a good pain free day xxx
