It's tomorrow!

I'm off to the hospital first thing
The right knee
It's up for replacement

Need to choose to have it done
But it's major surgery
And a lot to get through

Also, not sure that they'll let me as my aneamia is again 9.2
But that's something to ask

I just want it either done or not at all!

Oh, and I've updated my blog www.4legsbetterthan2@wordpress.com

Hope all goes well Jenni

Take care
Love Lou xx

Good luck xx

Oh grrrrr. I feel so disappointed for you. You are such a cheery and positive person and I think you're entitled to have a bit of a moan over this. I am borderline anaemic and often wonder if it's to do with the RA. Obviously iron pills are not the simple answer or you would have done this already. Here's hoping that your levels improve and you can go ahead with the surgery soon. As for that holiday....I think you need and deserve one and it's something nice to keep you going......so go for it whatever. XXX

Hi Jenni - also a grrr from me too!! Sooo frustrating having to wait and wait, but definitely go for a holiday - the Vendee is lovely. We went there in 2007 and stayed at the Le Pin Parasol, Lac du Jaunay, Vendee. It was a eurocamp mobile home - really nice. Well I've been to several of those campsites over the years and they have all been great - so much better than the campsites in England. There's always a nice bit of space around the chalet or tent so you don't feel hemmed in, and some of them have a veranda with a table for eating outdoors - and of course there's always at least one pool, so it's perfect for families. One piece of advice - take a windbreak - the beaches are open to the Atlantic coast so get a bit breezy. Have you been to Brittany? It's not quite so far to drive and the beaches are a little more sheltered as they face the English Channel - but both areas are lovely. Book early as the really popular sites do get booked up. I also enjoyed the Doidogne - we went there 2 years running, but it's probably too far to drive - we flew from Exeter - no beaches but a huge river with canoes and stuff like that - probably more suited to older kids though thinking about it.

Oh yes - eat lots of cabbage and liver - good for your iron levels!! (Tee hee, not really serious). But this is a serious thought - have they checked out woman's issues? Heavy months and the like can reek havoc with your haemoglobin - hope you get some relief soon.

Love and higs - Sylvia xx

My family would move out! Mummy fart a lot. Mind you, the power chair wouldn't need charging up so much- one meal and zoooooooom!
