Hi all . . . Hazel had her operation a couple of weeks ago, touch and go for a couple of days :? However all is well now, she is in the kitchen as I type, preparing a salad for this evenings meal!!! Yes, she really has come on, pain in her legs has gone . . . still cant stand up straight, but thats the collapsed vertebrae, nothing can be done.

Few other aches and pains, but they are the usual ones as we get older. She did not notice them because of the extreme pain from her trapped spinal nerves.

First trip to the shops coming up on Tuesday . . . see how that works out. I've decided to retired now, only a couple of months early, getting used to not needing to get up for work. My efforts at cooking and cleaning could be better??? . . . but we are still alive :lol: Apparently, I make a very good job of hanging the washing out on the line . . . :wink:

Even found time to, get the various seeds going in the green house, as well as seeds direct, particularly looking forward to the mangetout, new for me. Raspberry canes, Gooseberry bushes, Black berries, all new this year. It’s a good job I decided not to do the planed apple trees untill next year . . . the neighbours fence fell over yesterday, would have flattened my new trees ? New fence, only been up a couple of years?

Evening CJS, gosh that is good news indeed, just what we needed.
I'm sure you coped very well with the domestic jobs, i know i would find the simplist tasks quite callenging on the domestic front, but i'm sure i would get there in the end...

My Mum has got to see the Back specialist again tomorrow, for what sounds like a very similar problem, she is crippled in pain, and she is a real tough cooky. I do hate to see her suffering so.

Hope you enjoy your retirement... :)
