Ello, I'm back in here again. Thanks for the bday wish Nak :D

Mind you, it's only just turned midnight. Feeling really sleepy but unable to sleep so gonna go watch some Angel on DVD.

Little brother just found out he's losing his job because his casino is closing down. Looks like he might be trying the casinos in Blackpool for a new job and moving back up here if he can't find a job in the town he's in.

Now that i'm back from hols it's time to start saving up for a new flat again. I'm so far into my overdraft it's going to take a couple of months for me to be able to save up for a deposit. Well, looks like i really need to quit on all unneccessary (I'm sure i put too many double letters in that word) spending, which is so difficult for me at the moment.

Maybe i can't sleep cos i'm a little worried about the neuro saying that they don't know what to do with me next, but i guess there's no point worrying too much until my appointment comes up.
 
I hope you do get some quality sleep Lou. Do a little progressive relaxation, listen to some calming music, start decorating your new flat in your head: Where you gonna put the TV? What color's the sofa? Any plants?
 
Hello there

Lou!

Sorry I missed your birthday, I've been wallowing a bit in my own problem here, but that's another story.

Glad to hear you had fun in Spain, sounds like a blast to me. Next time, I'll happily tag along, the bar thing sounds like quite a bit of fun.

Moving however does not. Re-decorating does. :) I LOVE re-decorating....*rubbing hands together*

Don't stress about the neuro. It'll all work out, and you will be just fine!
 
I've decided that when i get a new flat it's going to mostly be white or cream and red.

Red is my favourite colour :D

If my brother does end up moving back here i think we'll probably share a flat. It's not like we have significant others, and we both get on really well. I'd feel extremely uncomfortable sharing with someone i didn't know, but with working part time it could be difficult getting somewhere i can afford by myself.

How's your mouth now Meetz? Toothache is the worst pain ever, and i hate how it always seems to get worse at night when you're trying to sleep. I'm so lucky to finally have a dentist so my mouth is useable again lol.
 
Well, my

face looks ALMOST normal again, but it still hurts like no other. I hate to say this, but I'm actually going to refill the pain meds (doesn't help that I cracked a rib yesterday--being GYM class with 12 year olds is a bit hazardous sometimes! :roflmao::roflmao: It's no biggie, there's no bruising or anything though.)

The inside of my cheek, and the area where the tooth was are still quite swollen from the actual abcess. I'm going to be eating soft foods for a bit longer I think. No 2 ways about that one.

But, the infection is starting to go away, and the pain is far more manageable now. And most of it comes from the bruising, especially of the nerves inside my cheek, more than anything, as well as up around the bone and the other tooth. The dentist had a hard time taking that thing out, so I'm sure there's some internal trauma, but it'll be fine........ It's just gonna take some time.

Thanks for asking.

I am soooooo glad you had a great birthday vacation, Lou. I really am. Now, what else are you gonna put in the new flat? *rubbing hands in anticipation*
 
Oh Meetz, if it's not one thing it's another, eh? When my mom cracked her ribs (she fell off a dock while taking pictures), there wasn't a whole lot the docs could do for it, so she self-medicated with "anti-freeze" (also known as whiskey). It seemed to help.
 
Ouch, cracked ribs too? It's really not your week, is it Meetz?

Came across a flat yesterday which was in a converted church. It was beautiful! I would love to live in a converted church. Way out of my price range but I drooled at it anyway lol.

I better go play my lotto tonight! Mind you, I've already won 3 small amounts this last week tho, wouldn't want to push it lol
 
Meetz... here's an idea for you, I think it's what you need to stay safe.

Ewww... went to the shop earlier and got flashed by some lad. In the middle of the day with kids playing in the street and he was running after me down the road in just his underpants. He was getting ready to flash when i turned round and hit out, i think i cracked him across the side of the head.

When i got to the shop, the shopkeeper offered to walk me home again, but luckily my cousin turned up. Turns out he knew the lad, and he made it clear that he wasn't impressed. My cousin can appear quite intimidating and tough even though he's really not. It's probably the gold tooth and tattoos.

Apparently the kid is only 15 or 16, but he looked about 20ish and was taller than me by a few inches (I'm 5'8"). Noticed he had scratches across his face and was possibly coming up with a black eye when we passed him on the way back, but i only hit out blindly out of panic. Must have caught him a right wallop.

Great, i hit a kid. Mind you, he'd have to explain how he ended up with a black eye from a girl who's a complete stranger.

I've seen him and his mates hanging around the local shop starting fights and stuff, i'm more angry now than anything, i mean this was on the street where i live, with kids running around playing!

Epileric - that suit looks awesome!
 
wow...lots going on with you guys while I've been gone. Cracked ribs, abscessed tooth, angry girlfriend, sinus infection, and flashed by a teenager. Holy cow! Makes the flu look like nothing. I've been playing pin cushion for about a week, being pumped full of god knows what. I'm starting to feel better, even though still dehydrated and electrolytes aren't quite where they should be yet.

I could have used that gym class and the teenager for some entertainment. Just keep them behind a plexiglass wall, okay?
 
Are you in the hospital Endless?

Hope you're feeling better soon, you've had the flu for a few weeks now haven't you?
 
Lol, I

LOVE the suit, Epileric!!!

No, I've not been having the best of times lately, have I? Well, I guess not anyway. But the way I look at it, others have it worse off than I do.........

Oh well. Now, I have a couple of other things to deal with before my insurance runs out. Hehehe. I've been putting them off. New glasses, getting my knee drained......

I'm falling apart, it's absolutely funny. I can't do anything but LAUGH!! :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

Lou, you are one tough cookie! Remind me to duck next time--and NOT to ever flash you! LOLOL

Endless, GET WELL SOON!!!
 
Hey, Lou,

Yep, I went in to the ER on my doctor's advice and before I knew it they had me in the hospital for 3 days in an isolation room. lol... not a bad gig seeing I had an extra-big room all to myself, a gorgeous view out the huge windows, a special air mattress bed, and my own bathroom. It was obviously set up for someone whose much sicker than I've been - like somebody with Ebola or something. It was the IV I took exception to - they had to pump me full of potassium and fluids and the potassium hurts.

You know, Lou, remind me not to flash you either. Or mug you and steal your purse. Does your hand feel okay, or did you just have really big rings?
 
Nah, i have pretty long nails, i lift a lot of weights and i panicked lol.

Guess i don't know my own strength or aim o_O

Are you home now then Endless?

Meetz - i also need new glasses and the dentist again haha.
 
Wow, i actually can't remember typing the above reply at all :O

Mind you, considering i must have been on Planet E, i didn't do too bad a job!
 
yawn
tired, but alive, cut my last small piece of fabric, I need to trim it up some. Now to work on three to four larger pieces and hopefully I can force myself to focus, and then to sit down and to sew over the course of the next few days. Unfortunately my right lymph node in my right arm pit is painfully swollen. Not sure what that means for me yet.
have been busy most of this week but only a few mild seizures, and having to keep the fact i was hallucinating to myself. My gf notices, because I refer to myself as we.

Hey C0urt ,swollen lymph nodes are often a sign of infection. If it doesn't go away or gets worse, go see a doc and get checked out.
 
Agreed, Court. If it doesn't go away in a day or two, go see a doc.



Yep, I'm home. :)
 
thanks to the seizure meds i always have an infection of some sort
