It’s Been a Long Time…
But we've been busy with doing up the house and medical appointments. It's getting there. The house. The medical side is too.

So Tired
Today is a bad day. I've had to relocate my ankle and shoulder quite a few times. Only the right ones. My right hip is refusing to relocate. No matter how I contort or the quantity of physiotherapy I do. It remains just out of the socket. I've been sick quite a few times. I … Continue reading So Tired

I also have subluxation which is causing my bite to constantly be changeable. … Continue reading MRI – The Results

I had got James a special Blue Ray - Transformers movie (from the 80s) - the anniversary edition with a funky tin and never before seen footage. Plus it's remastered in … Continue reading Chrimble!
Let it Snow
I adore snow. Do you? We've been getting ready for Christmas. It's been tough as I'm having a lot of pain at the moment. My MRI is next week on the 23rd for my jaw.
