Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2007It wasn't that I was lurking, onnist
I just never got around to finding a new news service after dfn.de started charging - which I wouldn't have minded paying, but then I never got round to looking them up, either. But now, seeing as I've finally jumped onto the broadbandwagon I've re-newsgroupified. I dunno if I'm getting all the messages though. Tell me if I'm not? Ta. I did have a shufty on here a while back, through Google Groups, and someone had just posted sommat along the lines of "Wow it's quiet in here" and I went to reply "Well post something then" but when I hit Send, Google invited me to Join or Register or the like and I thought Sod That. Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway - nice to see responses from some lapsed friends, and hope everyone else is chipper too. Me, I'm in good form and still (touch wood) problem free. The only times I've had anything like a flareup have been when politics have decreed that it'd be a good idea if I wore my safety boots for work, and then I've limped a bit for a few days afterwards. It could be suggested that I just don't like wearing the boots because I hate being told to do anything and therefore have milked the limp a bit : these are scurrilous smears, and anyway I couldn't possibly comment. I'm still working at the lead factory but not enjoying it anything like as much as once I did. They keep trying to promote me without really making it financially worthwhile - so, instead of charging round and carrying heavy things (which is really good for the state of mind, I'm sure you'd all agree) I'm sat in front of a PC, exchanging bloody emails and achieving 2/3 of sod all on a daily basis. Which is a bugger, 'cos I was in the process of developing muscles and a flatter stomach. Not a normal state of affairs for me....... Anyway: I'm back. You can all just about flippin' well behave yourselves from now on. AF > But now, seeing as I've finally jumped onto the broadbandwagon I've > re-newsgroupified.

Can't you see how quiet we've been? I've missed you, and a few months back I posted asking where you where, and what were you doing and why the bl***y hell weren't you posting any more? So there!!!!! You should've paid the $10 fee cos you wouldn't be lonely any more if you did lol Seriously, it's good to hear from you. Any news of Connie? I remember how pleased you were when you got that job. How long ago was that? So keep posting then, and a lot of other lurkers might venture out too - maybe even Jayne might appear.......................... Splodge > So keep posting then, and a lot of other lurkers might venture out too - > maybe even Jayne might appear.......................... > Splodge LOL - I just beat you to it! > Looks like you're getting them all Alan, cos there were only those 3 > replies. Gawd, it HAS gone quiet.... > Seriously, it's good to hear from you. Any news of Connie? I remember how > pleased you were when you got that job. How long ago was that? I was hoping Connie'd be 'in': hope she's well. Where's Andy? > So keep posting then, and a lot of other lurkers might venture out too - > maybe even Jayne might appear.......................... She showed up quickly, y'see? I, er, have this effect on women..... :o) AF >> maybe even Jayne might appear.......................... > > She showed up quickly, y'see?

Doing well with my one bionic knee - the Enbrel is keeping me well. My next injection (later tonight) is one of the new ready mixed ones, and from what I've heard they sting like a bugger, but we will see.... Now waiting for another bionic knee for the right side, which I should have done in the next 5 months (can't wait). Not such a good day today though - on my way back from mum's on the train I got a distraught phone call from my eldest son to say that my lovely dog Nutmeg had collapsed and passed away. Good to see you Alan. Jayne > Well, if Alan has de-lurked that puts me to shame and I thought I'd better > had. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Good to see you Alan. My subtle message worked then!!!! Nice to see you Jayne. Sorry to hear about Nutmeg. I had to have one of my two cats put to sleep, so I can understand how you're feeling right now. If this is a temporary de-lurk I'd better take this opportunity to wish you all the best with the new knee. You're just trying to compete with all my bionic joints aren't you? lol Splodge > My subtle message worked then!!!! Nice to see you Jayne. Sorry to hear > about [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > my bionic joints aren't you? lol > Splodge I have been keeping track of people - I do read the usual groups, but not every day. So, even if I don't post, I am keeping track and thinking of people. LOL - I don't want to compete - 2 knees will do me just fine thank you! Jayne > Not such a good day today though - on my way back from mum's on the train I > got a distraught phone call from my eldest son to say that my lovely dog > Nutmeg had collapsed and passed away. My deepest sympathies, Jayne. That's the down side of loving animals, isn't it? They have shorter lives than ours and it don't half hurt when they leave us.

LOL - the original picture was so odd because they were a sort of blue colour! I was just looking at that picture too! Jayne > My deepest sympathies, Jayne.

She was 10, and in the best of health. On sunday she was having her usual romp around the woods, exasperating John when she got a whiff of something and was off chasing it. James went to the garden to call her in as he had a dentist appointment. He said she lay down, rolled around on her back as she does, then went to her favourite spot by the fence, lay down, gasped and that was it - she was gone. Poor James was absolutely devastated.

I can relate to that. My oldest Jack Russell died in my arms but her daughter was put to sleep at the vets. What made it worse was that we were on holiday and she was with my son. I did not get chance to say goodbye. It ruined the holiday. Shirley.

I am dreading the day the girl we have now goes for two reasons one I love her dearly even though she is an absolute troublesome bitch likes to worry pillows and have lots of fun doing everything we don't want her to :)))) . Secondly I know that she will be the last dog to enter this house due to the fact that by the time she goes neither of us will be able to care for another re walkies etc due to arthritis and other health problems . >>I can relate to that. My oldest Jack Russell died in my arms but her >>daughter was put to sleep at the vets. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > will be able to care for another re walkies etc due to arthritis and > other health problems . I have the same worry about my one remaining cat, Sherry. She's 16 now, and I dread her going as I'm getting a bit wobbly on my pins. I could never have a kitten, but I might think about getting an older cat. My life won't be the same without her, so I've giving her lots of extra TLC Splodge >I have the same worry about my one remaining cat, Sherry.

Well Splodge I did once think that when our BIG darling goes we would get a much smaller dog but in my heart of hearts I really know I just could not love a small dog the way I love the biggies having had German Shepherds and in the last twenty years switched to Great Danes so I recken it will have to be cold turkey eventually end of story if I survive or not will be another story it has been hard enough coming down to one Dane after having three about the place at one time:)) . >My life won't be the >same without her, so I've giving her lots of extra TLC Oh God Splodge I think we have the same thoughts I have never worried and fussed over a dog in my life the way I do with our Ellie . > It is very sad when a family member leaves us in this way Jayne but > having had the experience of having to take two of our dogs to the vet > and watching the needle going in and standing there while they died > and also seeing our last Great Dane lady get of the sofa and drop dead > instantly for no reason on Saturday lunchtime I know which way I > prefer to say good bye and it isn't a trip to the vets believe me . You're so right there, as my cat Kafer was put to sleep at the vet, and he still had an awful end to his life. He had a violent reaction to the first injection, was physically sick everywhere, and I couldn't bear to tell you what happened after that. Suffice to say I ran out to the car and howled. I went back next day to collect the carrier and pay the bill, but I changed vets after that. It was two days after my sister's funeral as well. Splodge |
