You’ve all asked a few questions so thought i’d take time to reply to them in our lunch hour. Grace has just had her noodles and i’m building myself up to have last nights leftovers. The food here’s great, especially now i’ve got the missing 4 pages of the menu, before that it was jellied fungus or glutinous rice balls.
To Sian, Glad the bloods went well and hope the results don’t take too long but it is the Maelor so don’t hold your breath. Your very right we have got a great support network, you’ve all been great and the messages and knowing Rose is O.K (&Michael) makes it all alot easier. However i didn’t have Chicken Pox Grace and Rose did so i’m not taking the blame, it’s there’s. Ha!
To Uncle Matt, The smell is not disinfectant it’s POO WEE STINK & the ice-cream was vanilla, didn’t risk anything else incase it was pig trotters or something.
To Auntie Polly, i will buy you shares in Windolene for Christmas and if we visit more often you should get a good dividend. Thanks for the offer of the relief package but we really have got everything we need here.
To Mum, don’t know what you’re talking about Rose loves mornings (She gets that from me!!), but i am glad she was ok for you and i’m sure she’s now thouroughly spoilt. Thankyou.
To Siobhan, I wonder if i could set the words myself? I could have you all typing in rude words. I read everybody’s comments to Grace and there was a big smile when i said Fatty Boom Boom, i wonder if she thought i was talking about Sinead! Enjoy your time away, it’ll be great for you to see Gary if only in the evenings.
Think that’s all of you, but i”ve probably missed somebody. Anyway i’ve talked enough about you lot back to ME. Today is Physio, Occupational Therapy and Acupuncture. The day started with Acupuncture at 8.3oam and if it was me i’d be in a foul mood all day but Grace just takes it in her stride. The acupuncture here is different instead of leaving the needles in for 15-20 mins they just jab them in and out quickly. It must be really sore but if the Doctor sings Tinkle Little Star she doesn’t cry. They only do 4-5 points a session to get her used to it but i’d say she never will, they think she is scared of the needles but anyone can see it just plain hurts. Then it’s off to Physio, it’s very passive and massage based and alot less intensive than she is used to. I still do her stretches everyday in the room and a little standing work so hopefully she wont get bored. After lunch it’s O.T. which is more massage, this time very deep massage to the back neck and face, exercise ball work and then they attack her with frozen lolly sticks. It’s actually tongue depressors wrapped with wet cotton on the end and then frozen which are then rubbed all over her neck, cheeks and mouth. It’s supposed to stimulate her swallow reflex.
After that it’s a quiet evening and all repeated tomorrow. Sunday is our day off.

Are you sure that it’s a hospital? sounds more like boot camp. Poor Grace, I don’t know about the doctor singing Twinkle Star, she is a star! It all seems much more intensive than last year, I seem to remember she wasn’t too keen on the acupuncture then, but who would be, there are people I don’t like who I would just love to stick needles in and out of very fast!
Well, despite all the ‘yomping’ you have to do day to day to different buildings at least the food is good, don’t know what’s wrong with jellied fungus myself!
Well, B****y typical, it’s my day off and I’ve been awake since 8.00am, wouldn’t mind but when it comes round to Monday again I won’t want to get up. Off to get a new Skype headset later as I think that the mic is broken, so I will try a new one, will let you know the result.
The house is very quiet now that Rose has gone home to Daddy but at least the cat has decided to stay – she has been given lots of Rose type TLC and Rose even stands on the door step and will call her in now.
OK, I’ll get off now and do some boring houswork stuff etc, hoping to see Rose later and will give her a big kiss from Mummy and Grace. Take care of yourselves and I’m missing you all very much xx
Big hugs and kisses for Grace xx
‘pecuniary’ is todays word!!
Hi you two. Sounds like Grace is having a busy time. Good on her making the doc sing to her!!!
I am so boring, I have absolutely no news. I am growing my nails, thats about all the excitement at the moment! But I will keep you updated on their progress if you like, ha ha ha ha
I won £25 on premium bonds this month.
I put my wedding dress on a wedding dress website and it got sold really quickly! I know some people think its a shame to sell them but its not like i am going to wear it again! And its nice to think someone else will get to feel special in it for a day. The girl thats buying it is lovely, she is so excited. She really wanted that dress but couldnt afford it new.
Getting my hair cut this afternoon, hasnt been cut since the wedding… I look like a tinker! Getting loads of length off it and getting it thinned out.
Well thats all my boring news!
Big hello to Grace,
lots of love,
FATTY BOOM BOOM XXX
Wow, sounds like you were straight into it then! Your first week has gone so quickly! Grace sounds as good as gold again, bless her – i’m sure i couldn’t put up with all that prodding and poking by random strangers so well! although, i guess that’s what’ll be happening to me soon whether i like it or not!!!! Male midwife too – but he’s lovely, so i’m not bothered!
Hoping it’s all going well for you both and that you’re not too lost now Michael’s flown back, although i’m sure you’re keeping pretty busy.
Look forward to reading all your updates!
Take care
Tracy

Hi hun it all sounds a lot for me to get my around and Im not even there!
All the treatment sounds really good stuff, you are very strong you are an inspiration.
Maelor were absolute stars yesterday, I must say I was very impressed with the organisation of the tests and the way we were treated. Not sure when results will come but will maybe have to wait until we see Dr Minchom in sept.
I still blame you for the pox its funnier!!! Ethan is fine with it, just a few nasty spots but they seem to be going now and they are scabbing over.
Had Claire, Cath and Nic round today for some lunch kids were all great although weather was crap. Wouldve been nice if it was sunny and couldve got the pool out. Missed you here today. Everyone was asking about and how you are getting on. I think it would have been easier to get pc out and let them see for themselves!!!
Im very impressed with what they are doing for you there hun, and so chuffed Grace is so brilliant with it all.
When are you back!!!!
word was ‘precipitous’
Thank you so much for our anniversary card, it so cute! XX
