sorry honey, nature called very suddenly
1:24 am
sprite
am hanging in here, at least it looks like the AB is doing its job
1:27 am
sprite
hiya chessy :)
1:30 am
grannyrose
so is Rob more mobile?
1:30 am
Chessy
just realised have been playing babble for 20 years now!
1:30 am
sprite
not yet, but the swelling is down a bit and it is less red
1:30 am
sprite
oh wow Chessy, happy anniversary!
1:30 am
grannyrose
and are you treating your own pain properly at this time? no undermedicating?
1:31 am
Chessy
thanks sprite - feel quite old now! :)
1:31 am
sprite
I am being good.
1:31 am
sprite
lololol I know the feeling.
1:32 am
grannyrose
that's good Sprite. i would have to come over there and beat you to a pulp with a wet tissue if you hadn't been good...lolol
1:33 am
sprite
oh in that case: no I haven't been good. Now get over here.
1:33 am
grannyrose
Hey Chessy. what an achievement! congrats on sticking with this motley crew.
1:34 am
Chessy
Certainly been fun over the years - motley is just about right :)
1:34 am
grannyrose
and i have just checked. i've been here 18 years now. good grief! and sprite and i are still talking to one another.
1:35 am
sprite
21 years for me.
1:36 am
grannyrose
mind you it's hard not to talk to Sprite. the most wonderful listener, and my bestest friend. I love you to bits Sprite.
1:37 am
sprite
it is mutual, darling.
1:38 am
Chessy
Wow Sprite - I rarely play but it's lovely to dive back in occasionally and catch up with people's lives!
1:38 am
grannyrose
oh, and the injection appears to have worked. i walked all the way from the car to poolside without stopping. and back again after 2 hours of exercising. no limp, no waddle. just one foot in front of the other.
1:38 am
sprite
I play most days, have done through the years though I took a break at some point. And still, Babble can surprise me with new words!
1:39 am
sprite
oh I am so glad, Rose. That is much better.
1:40 am
grannyrose
looking forward to the next one now. this doc at the x-ray place is amazing. i might even take him a long stemmed rose in thanks.
1:42 am
grannyrose
i so wish you could have the same treatment honey. up until now i have had x-rays and MRI's. but they don't show soft tissue injury. and it would appear it has been the problem all this time.
1:43 am
grannyrose
chessy, are you going to be here at this time from now on? it would be lovely to learn more about you.
1:43 am
sprite
right now I am glad if I can hold on, tbh. Rob is needing so much care and treatment, it is taking all I have. Mind you, it is not a picnic for him either! Poor man, so much pain and he is not used to that.
1:44 am
grannyrose
it breaks my heart to hear how much he is going through.
1:45 am
sprite
I try and focus on the stuff I can be grateful for. Which is a LOT. Among them, my friends :)
1:46 am
grannyrose
i am here my love. i wish i was there. you know that. i pray for you all every night.
1:46 am
Chessy
Was only up early by chance this morning - misread the clock - I'm in and out at quite odd times!
1:47 am
sprite
prayers are much much appreciated
1:48 am
grannyrose
and i hear you about being grateful for the things you do have. whenever the pain gets to bad, i give thanks because i CAN feel it. there are so many who cannot feel from the neck or waist down.
1:49 am
grannyrose
chessy, any time we are here please say hello.
1:49 am
sprite
I find that it is impossible to be unhappy when I focus on gratitude. It is such a game changer.
1:49 am
sprite
we are just counting ourselves lucky then when you do pop up, Chessy :)
1:50 am
Chessy
Sure will - it's good to know that we're all bimbling along somehow x
1:50 am
grannyrose
how's Juno doing? did the trip to their family go down well?
1:51 am
sprite
there is this great book by Ricky Moore called A Goddess in my Shoes. She writes: if you really have nothing at all to be grateful for, at least be grateful you do not have to eat a living frog.
1:51 am
sprite
went amazingly well, Rose! They are so brave.
1:52 am
grannyrose

grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!
1:54 am
sprite
toad be or not toad be, that is the question
1:54 am
grannyrose

1:55 am
grannyrose
oh lord sprite!! roflol
1:56 am
