The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I wish vets would speak the same language. Molly had her second leptospirosis injection today and the vet said she could go out in the world by next Sunday. Now, my stepdaughter had her puppy done in the same vet surgery, at the same time as us but a different vet and she was told to wait 2 full weeks. My stepson also had his puppy done in a different surgery today and he was told 10 days. So you don't get confused, we all had a puppy from the same litter. You can guess what my question is now: how long should I wait? I think I will wait the full two weeks to be in the safe side. What do you think?

I would wait a full 2 weeks as well.

Feeling a litte icky. I suffer with BPPV, a form of vertigo. I've not had an attack since 2015, but I'm starting to feel a bit rough, almost car sick. Will try and get a doctors appointment so I can get the tablets, head it off before it goes full blown on me.

Have you tried the "exercise" aka head movements that are supposed to make the crystals go where they should?

And another fine day out there, much the same as yesterday for me.

Good morning folks. We had some very fine rain last night as the ground is wet. Quite hazy here at the moment.

Morning - awoke at 0430, couldn't get back off so watered my pots in the back garden at 0500... Feeling a bit bushed already.

Not much gardening to be done at the present; I'm on top of it I think, and the bits that will need doing are more appropriate for autumn.

I need to phone a blind company this morning (of the window variety) 'cos I made a stupid error when measuring and ordering one of them last night - completely forgot to allow for the protruberance of the piggin' window ledge further down. It's not the end of the world if it's too late to alter it, because a) it wasn't expensive and b) I can use it in the garage at the side door. Still a bit annoyed with myself, don't usually muck up like that!

Major decision time today.

One of my caravan front window struts decided to fall apart yesterday.
Now then, do I go to the nearest caravan dealer and pay around £30 for a new strut and fix it today, or order a repair kit off EBay for £7.50 and sort it when I get home in 2 weeks time?
Some people don't realise how stressful this retirement lark can be!

Docs at 0940. One of the advantages of being a registered carer is getting fairly swift appointments.

The Epley Manouvre didn't work for me.

Our medical centres online booking system is very good. I've always been able to get an appointment on the same day, despite the number of old folk around here.

Tablets, drink plenty of fluid other than beer (Scotch?), and rest with my head elevated. Should be right as rain in a few days.

Good morning

Woke up today feeling not one hundred percent.There is a "bug"going around the family and i am the only one not to have got it.

There again it might be my hypochondria coming through

Hope you don't have the dreaded lurgy.
