New Years Day !!

Well what a funny year 2010 was for me anyway!! I was booked to go to Hyde in April to stay with my sister and husband and to visit my brother and his wife and friends but alas I had to cancel . My blood pressure was sky high and my leg very swollen. I booked then to go in late October but no go BP still not good for flying. Then in October I was admitted to hospital and had an operation (will not go into details) came out a week later and the Herniated discs in my spine must had got badly disturbed . The pain in my back, hip , leg and foot was so bad I could not walk. The family rallied round and got me a wheel chair so at least I could go out. I eventually decided to go back to the Clinic Eva as Doctor Patru once before had got me out of pain and walking again. I had Acupuncture and infiltration for 10days (the clinic was closing then for Christmas). The good news is with the treatment , pain killers and anti inflammatory etc I feel much, much better. As I reflect on my year I stop to think that there are thousands of people in the world so much worse and I feel thankful I have a good family to look after me , a warm home to live in and food and all I need to be comfortable.

Many thanks to everyone that sent kind messages, came to visit me and for all the prayers said for me.

On a brighter note I did however have a nice Christmas. We all went to Mariana and Nelu's for Christmas eve and had a lovely time as always. Christmas day was at my daughter Kathy and Kenneth and I helped a little with Amy to make a delicious spread. Boxing day I made meat and potato pies and we took them to Kathy's and had another very nice day. Today they are coming here to me but there is only 6 as Amy has gone back to Glasgow and Johanna and Philip are still in Australia, it will sound funny but we are having curry and rice and all the trimmings, chutneys, lime pickle etc. etc.

I hope I have not bored you with my tale of woe but I do sincerely wish you all a very, very Happy New Year and most important a Healthy one.!!!!!!!
