An absolutely horrible day here -it has never stopped raining/ I suppose the one thing in its favour is the fog has more or less cleared.
Thank you all for your foot hints - T and S are already trying some of the hints out - how wonderful the internet is.
I have had an interesting day. A lady who works for the Health Service throughout Lancashire and North Yorkshire called to assess that all my care needs were being met and we decided that I was jolly lucky with the care I was getting. Thetie up with our local GPs seems very impressive to me and I do sometimes think we under-estimate the care we get. Especially in areas like here with (I would guess) an ageing population.
Each day my addled brain is sorting itself out bit by bit and - hopefully it will continue to do so. Then my legs need to start working again.
Until tomorrow dear blog friends.

Keith (husband) would sympathise on the non-working legs. I agree with Debby, you are sounding more like yourself again. Sorry about the non-stop rain though - that always makes dusk arrive so much earlier.
It is good to hear you so perky today.
Damp, chilly, dreary, grey day this side of the pond today. Reading your post has helped make today a bit less dreary and definitely warmer in spirit.
So glad to hear your care needs are being well met!
Sending warm wishes for a full recovery.
Hope one or two of the many "foot hints" for T provide T with relief.
So glad to hear you are getting your strength back dear Pat. Hoping the sun shines tomorrow - a pretty day is so good for everything.
Hugs - Mary
We have had heavy rain on and off today, with intermittent sunshine this afternoon.
We are very fortunate with the care that the elderly receive at present. I am lucky and can manage without it at present, but many of my neighbours have carers who call daily, or for other periods of time throughout the week. The most needy even have carers on Sundays.
So lovely having you back and sounding like yourself. The legs can wait a little longer until you start to feel stronger.x
So glad you are improving daily. Yes, for all its faults the NHS is a wonderful service to have.
Wet Wet Wet? That reminds me of the 1980s...
Sounds like you are bouncing back slowly but surely, Pat. We had snow here today - not too much and it melted off of the streets and sidewalks right away. I am glad you have such good care to help you recover.
Debby is right , x
So happy to see you blogging again. The legs will follow when they're ready.
Every day you sound better and better.
3 inches of wet heavy snow here today. It is beautiful . . . But I'm an August kind of girl.

It's lovely to have you back. Your GP's office seems on the ball. As I write, my son has an eight hour wait for his child to be seen in A and E. It is chaos over here in Canada.
Lovely to ha ve you back and sounding brighter every day
Chiropractic adjustment for the foot problem. Works wonders.
It is so good to have you back! I love to start my day with yout blog. It is 6 AM now and raining, but we had a lovely day yesterday, sunny and warm for November with 14 °C.

I took Billy out at 7 am yesterday, and returned looking like a drowned rat. Still a bit blowy this morning and still some rain, but I've put away the plans for an ark.
I’m pleased to hear your care arrangements are so satisfactory.
You certainly do have very impressive attention from health and medical authorities where you live, I can confidently say from experience, that you would get nothing like that attention down here on Sheppey.
After our prolonged drought, that lasted well into October, we are now getting the same kind of weather as you are. Every day seems to be dripping wet outside but despite the inconvenience of it, it is at least beginning to restore the water levels on the parched reserve.
On December 5th I shall be going to see Monty Don in person at a theatre as he carries out a tour round the country, talking about gardening and his life.
It all sounds very good and helpful and I'm so glad you are continuing to improve. xx
From what you told us about your carer, I think we can all agree that you are indeed "jolly lucky" to have her.
Like Tom Stephenson said in his comment, your headline today reminded me of the 1980s.
Derek, it is a statutory requirement for healthcare after discharge from hospital for the elderly. My ex partner's mother aged 99 received 6 weeks of round the clock carers attending her house after her discharge from a short hospital stay.
Good morning!
It is such a relief when the sun perks out after the rain on a clean and shiny landscape.
A relief that your care package is ok too...step by step... figuratively then literally we hope xx
I can assure you Rachel, regardless of what statutory requirements state, that trying to get proper health care round where I live is at best a lottery and if it is achieved it is pretty basic. That comes from battling care authorities for the last few years for my ex-mother in law.
We all seem to see that every day you are getting better and like your old self, isn't that wonderful.
Thanks Derek. I was talking specifically about on discharge from hospital a care plan is statutory. My ex's mother used to do the jobs the carer was assigned to do before she arrived!
Fair enough Rachel.
I so enjoy your blog. I am glad you are able to write. I am wondering if you can do your book club this month.
THANK YOU DEAR FRIENDS- MY GOODNESS HOW YOU HAVE ALL HELPED.
I'm so glad you are back and am improving!
Happy belated birthday
