Yes Karol...

Thank God everything's healing well.... I feel very bruised, but I've been told that as I've EDS, it'll take ages for the bruises to ease....

Oh well, it's getting better....

Love to all...

Thanks Looney....

Well, we're snowed in!.... About a foot of snow so far... About another foot expected!.... Community physio had to cancel her visit... Roads are trecherous... Paths are worse...

Carer from the Carers Assoc. was in this morning... She showered Mum, and put all the rubbish out into the outside bins, and left out about ten days of D fluids for Mum in the order she'll need them, just in case she can't get here on Thurs...

Thankfully, I did a big grocery shop on Friday, and there's a very good supermarket that I can do an online shop with.....

Baxter delivered yesterday.... I don't know how the driver did it... He was really good... If he'd had any bother getting to us, our Community Gardai had said to deliver it all to the Garda Station, and they'd deliver it up in a jeep... That's REALLY reassuring....

I'm still nursing my bruises, but I'm okay... I'm very lucky really... We've everything we need, good friends, GREAT Community Gardai, and I'm not complaining....

Love to all....

Darth...

Hi Darth - sounds like it is time to curl up with a book near a toasty fire.  No snow to speak of here yet - in fact lots of rain and high winds predicted the rest of this week.  The skiers are getting concerned.  Me?  I like driving in rain.

Take good care now.  Glad to hear you are still on the mend.    :flower;
