Happy ST Patrick's Day

“Christ shield me this day: Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I arise, Christ in the heart of every person who thinks of me, Christ in the eye that sees me, Christ in the ear that hears me” (from “The Breastplate of St. Patrick”).

Cupid ,all is forgiven

Pete has been in a field hospital,taking part in military manoeuvres, hence the silence.And he DID send me a valentines card,just addressed it wrongly. Had a nice chat with him and I am feeling much better!

Damn...

But at least I am in good company.

Cupid is not my home boy.

No card
No gift
No text
No off lines
No email
No phone calls
No carrier pigeon...nothing (And I had already given him my card and gift)
When I was still single I at least got fun cards from friends. The man is NOT in my good books at the minute!

How richly bizarre

Its sunny,the birds are singing,I saw daffodils ..but wait, its only February! We have barely had any winter at all.

Does this mean we have that "pleasure" yet to come?

999

Had to call an ambulance.My poor son has Pericarditis. 5 days in Hospital.He had oxygen, drips,ECG,x-rays,Beta Blockers,sleeping tablets and stayed hooked up to a heart monitor the whole time.It was tough to see him so ill.

He was finally discharged on the 5th day ,but has to stay on Beta Blockers until his MRI in 3 weeks time.

Pericarditis is an inflamation of the pericardium (the fibrous sac surrounding the heart).

Symptoms

Anxiety
Breathing difficulty when lying down
Chest pain, caused by the inflamed pericardium rubbing against the heart
- May radiate to the neck, shoulder, back, or abdomen
- Often increases with deep breathing and lying flat, and may increase with coughing and swallowing
- Pleuritis type: a sharp, stabbing pain
- Usually relieved by sitting up and leaning forward
Dry cough
Fatigue
Fever
Need to bend over or hold the chest while breathing

Here's to 2012!

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

Honey..I'm back..

I have been cheating on my blog in favour of Face Book and I mean to correct that.
What have I been up to?
-I went to my best friends husband's funeral. I spent time with her before and it was quite a shock to all concerned.This family has suffered a lot as they lost their daughter also, a few years ago.

-My Boyfriend came over from his Army barracks in Germany . It was wonderful to see him and he was just lovely . We had a great time. ( Though I had forgotten how long it takes to do things when you walk holding hands!)

I went up with him to Birmingham to get his legs checked out. Birmingham Hospital deals with the British Military. It was nice to be surrounded by men in uniform, but very sobering to see the young men back from Afghanistan ,most looking young enough to be my own son, with various limbs missing.Due to the God awful IED's. Yet they were so brave and cheerful.

-I went to a Christmas Lunch organised by the MB group. It was a lot of fun, great food ,we even had a raffle and I won a gift. My dear friend Phillip was my date/chauffeur, so no waiting in the cold for several buses! We were 37 in total , mostly women.
