Dangerous Driving

My mother has one of those mobility scooters, amazing things but the owners should be made to take a driving test when they first get one. The reason why. My mother is a nightmare on it.


We were in a local shop and we decided to leave, instead of going the long way around she tries to reverse. Which wouldn’t be a problem if she could. She went zooming back into a display of dog food tins. Guess who was standing next to the damned thing. Yep me. I ended up on the floor with a couple of hundred tins of sodding dog food on me. You know what my mum did then, laughed! A shop assistant had to help me up and tidy up the mass of dog food. I managed to get up only to find mum reverse into a stack of kitchen role. So I have been on crutches since. Now I have pulled muscles in my side, stomach and neck I have a lot of bruising on my hands, I thought crutches was meant to be our friends.

It’s been awhile since I last posted. So here’s the quick low down of what I have been up to in the time I have vanished.

I fell out of the bath. It’s easier said than done. Falling in the bath is easy falling out takes real talent, baby I have that talent!!! I managed to dislocate my knee in the process and have a few extra bruises to add the works.

We pulled up the carpet in the hall way which meant I have spent the last 2 nights out of my mind due to the chemical cleaner we had to use to get the sticky stuff up. I honestly can’t believe that stuff is legal....wow

We have a new kitten... She’s roughly 9weeks old. So feisty, cute, and looks a damn sight better then when we got her. She was flea ridden had ticks under weight and couldn’t clean herself. In the 4 days we have had her she has learnt to clean herself, steadily putting on a little bit of weight. She is so clumsy as while trying to play with one of our other cats she fell off the table head first and busted her tooth so that now pointing the wrong way and is going to cost almost £200. To put right. We haven’t manage to find a name that suits her so please feel free to leave a comment or message me any name ideas or suggestions you have. If I choose a name from you then I will be giving you a little surprise, nothing big.

It’s nearly Xmas. He he are you as excited as me? I can’t wait. We got our first lot of snow today. It was pathetic and within 2 hours had pretty much melted, but.....it snowed. Hopefully the first lot of loads. I’m not normally a snow person I like to look at it, but when I spend most of my life on crutches it makes things that are already hard for me seem impossible. Instead of clambering down the shop for some bread, I’m out travelling frozen wastelands looking for the lost treasure of some long dead pirate. Braving freezing temperatures, hidden patches of ice that are intend on slipping me up. Pretty to look at but deadly.

Pathetic snow

I have an appointment due to come through sometime next year with a neurologist. Should be interesting. It’s in London again which is going to be a problem but hopefully we get lost again. I can’t afford another £50. Taxi fair just because we didn’t know where we parked.

One of my biggest cosmetic problems is dealing with the endless bruising that is part and package of EDS. It’s an absolute nightmare. I woke up this morning with a bruise on my inner leg the size of an orange. How it got there, well your guess is as good as mine. It wouldn’t be such a problem but I have only just started to get rid of the bruising from falling down the stairs awhile ago. Which is the reason for my absence. My little trip has given a lot more time to work on crafty bits. I have major problems with my cross stitch at the moment as nothing seems to be right. I think I have used the wrong grey for one of the wolves, the sky don’t seem in the right position. The only thing that seems vaguely right is the tree which I have only got half way through. I’m considering starting all over again providing that I can unstitch it without damaging the Aida. I really want to get it finished before my next project arrives. A Xmas stocking for my son cross stitched with polar bears and presents. I think it will be a mad dash to get it finished ready for Santa to fill up.


I have had an eye test and pick up new glasses on Wednesday which will make things easier. The doctor said about putting me on beta blockers to try to stop my migraines, I’ll admit I’m a bit worried about taking them. Let’s just hope they will help.
