In da House.

« on: March 07, 2011, 11:12:48 AM »

In da house ! Batteries recharged and full of fiestyness again !!!!

Firstly thankyou ,thankyou, thankyou, for all your kind words and messages of support , it meant so much to me.
Secondly ...i bet you where glad of a bit of peace 'n' quiet !
Well mother is back to her usual  :urcrazy; self ..it didnt take long. She was only in hospital overnight, it was a bad attack of COPD. The ugly sisters dumped her home and promptly buggered off. As expected i was told they 'both' had busy lives so it was up to me to look after her.
As you know im a great believer in Kharma and as it happens it hasnt let me down so far.. some call it witchcraft ..hehe! One of the ugly sisters got her car trashed by vandals the other night ..oh dear ! I wonder what the other ones got coming ?
What have i been up too? Nothing much, getting my act together , ive really been tested while ive been away , not only with mother, but does anyone remember last year one of the horrible nurses one our unit broke her back on hols? Well she returned to work last week. Anyway i didnt speak to her she was too busy upsetting all the staff to have time to upset the patients ! Oh speaking of which the other nurse (ive had my recent run ins with) has said (out loud) she is applying for another job at another hospital , fingers crossed x'd.
Anyway if you are ready for the sometimes helpful but mostly outspoken KICKSTART to return here goes ....
Moosey ..nice to see you back  :waving;
Newbies ...for those of you that dont know me, you soon will !
Galvo ...ding,ding  :boxing; you ready to rumble ?
And to the rest of you .... :grouphug;
