MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi My Friends

 

Merry Christmas 

 

WOW! what another year of covid restrictions and trying so so hard to get back to some kind of normality, only to find ourselves back into the worry factor about what to do for Christmas, but everyone that is coming over has had their booster jabs. I  know its not the miracle cure jab we all hoped for, but I really need to have a Family Christmas. We feel we have done everything we can and  have been asked to do to secure a family Christmas. Besides I can't keep the decorations up for another year that's just silly, but I will if I have to.

I for one took it so cautiously leading up yo my knee operation. I isolated took and the PCR test. I went to hospital on the day to have my knee replacement. I was sat waiting in my op gown ready to go to theatre. Then the surgeon walked in and said " I've not seen you before have I" I replied no. He then said I can't do your operation today as I've never met you," and have only spoken on the phone and until I meet you and assess your knee I won't do the operation today". I was so upset at this point as I'd worked myself up so much to have this operation. It turned out to be a clerical fault. I have since met my surgeon, signed the consent form and I am now on the waiting list again. The problem that I have is that when he examined my knee he manipulated it so much that I shouted in pain,  my knee is now giving me so much more pain to the point I think it is going to give way. He showed me my X-ray and told me I am on bone to bone and have severe Arthritis. I have been in contact with the surgeons secretary and she said she would get me booked in again and a letter will follow, I've not heard anything since the 9th December. Any way I am healthy in every other way so I should not complain, as I know my dear friend is dealing with a lot more than I am. I know she has had some wonderful news and is looking forward to a special Christmas and a most positive 2022.

I received a letter today with my new date for my operation and it's not until the 26th May. I don't think my knee will last that long.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all, Please have a very Happy Christmas & a Happy New Year. 2022 has to be the year of  Love & Hugs without masks. Well maybe later in the year as things don't look gook right now, but just think we can can Kick this virus in the arse once and for all when we've all had our jabs and get back to a hug when greeting family & Friends without the worry of passing on a pandemic.

Love & Hugs to you all & a Happy & Healthy 2022 and a big Thank you for returning to my blog whether you just pop in and have a look, but especially to you who stay to leave a message. It means a lot, so Thank you again.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

  1. Hi Tina

    I'm so disappointed for you that your knee op got pushed back, I hope you won't be on your feet too much at Christmas so you can rest your knee in between the festivities.

    Unfortunately I have some sad news to share, we lost Billy nearly 3 weeks ago. He's left a big hole in a lot of lives and that so many people where we live have been moved by his passing makes us so proud of what a lovely, friendly boy he was. We miss him a hell of a lot and it will be a while before we're ready for another hound.

    Wishing you and your family an amazing Christmas, cuddles for Half Pint too XXX

    Hugs to all, T x

  2. Morning Tina, lovely to hear from you but oh such horrid news about your knee, I can really empathize with you regarding working yourself up for the operation, only to be told it would not happen, and now to have to wait until 26th May, well that really is devastating news. I have had the bone on bone with my first hip replacement it was so painful, I saw the surgeon and within 3 days I was on the operating table, but that doesn't help you I know, my heart goes out to you, why oh why do these things happen. Big hugs that there is a cancellation and you get in sooner, keep chasing the secretary and a miracle might happen.

    This new Omicron has a lot to answer for, and I cannot understand why people are not getting vaccinated, even one of my sons and 2 of my grandchildren are not having it done, I have not seen them for over 2 years, although we are still in contact on the phones and skype but it is not the same as having a big cuddle is it.

    It will be wonderful for you to spend Christmas with the family, what joy there will be, so give a special hugs to them all.

    Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and a safe and healthy 2022.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    1. Hi June

      Steph also told me to contact his secretary instead of going through to bookings, so that will be my job after the Christmas festivities.

      I'm so sorry that you won't be seeing one of your sons and grandchildren in person. I don't understand why people won't have the jabs just to protect themselves & their families. It is worrying this new variant. Everyone is taking a test before they come over tomorrow so fingers crossed they are OK or Paul's waistline is going to expand with all the food.

      I hope you have a Wonderful Christmas too and a covid free and healthy 2022.

      Love & Hugs June
