wow, starting of with 2 x 7 and 3 x 8. Never ever happened before. Hiya Nanette

1:15 am

sprite

phantom: inherit

1:16 am

Christine

Thanks, SueMagee. And Sprite, how's the ankle

1:16 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{{spritey}}}}}}} how is the pain? are you managing okay? is Rob home with you? ....xoxox

1:17 am

sprite

hi sweetie, just emailed you with an update.
Pain is bearable, I am managing beautifully and Rob is at work.

1:18 am

grannyrose

*sigh* i have been so worried for you. if i could, i would have been there with you now.... are you in plaster?

1:18 am

sprite

hiya Christine! Going well. Surgery was successful, doc and plastermaster are very happy with the results so far. Now a number of weeks of putting no weight on it at all, and after that, the real healing can start.

1:19 am

sprite

yeah, both ankles in plaster. Right one a light one, to support the contused ankle that has to bear all my weight. And the other in heavy-duty stuff, to protect the ankle with the metal works and all.

1:20 am

grannyrose

just keep wriggling those toes. i know it is the only movement you can make, but it will help with blood circulation, and thus help with the healing.

1:20 am

sprite

sweetie, it would have been so great to have you with me. But you were there in thoughts and prayers, and that helped a lot.

1:21 am

sprite

wriggling toes all the time. And I have to lift my legs in a certain way to help blood circulation through calves and upper legs, and train the muscles as much as I can.

1:21 am

Christine

Ugh ... weeks of spongebaths. But how great that first shower will feel.

1:22 am

sprite

oh yes! Can't wait till I can shower again.

1:24 am

grannyrose

you CAN shower with help. both legs in plastic bags, and elevated on a stool outside the actual shower stall.

1:25 am

sprite

Rob is gonna find me shower bags. The shower stall at the canoe club has a plastic seat. So it will happen before the 6 weeks are over. But not right away... first a little bit of healing before I will try and navigate the route to canoe club and all.

1:27 am

sprite

Terra is so happy I am home again. He insists on lying right by me... of course, ON my feet!

1:27 am

grannyrose

good idea honey. i was fortunate in that i had don trained up, and i was able to sit on a board across the bath.

1:28 am

grannyrose

ugh. i love him to bits, but your feet are NOT for sitting on.

1:29 am

sprite

I am doing it all with the help of the OA program slogans, lol. "One day at a time", "First things first", "Reach out to others for help", "Let go and let God" and my favorite: "Worries are just meditations on shit"

1:30 am

sprite

lol ikr? But well... he is Terra... he is allowed. With some guidance from me in where exactly he can put his weight, that is.

1:31 am

grannyrose

oh... and we have found another room for special needs people... at the Valk hotel, Akersloot / A9 Alkmaar. is that closer to you and the caravan?

1:32 am

sprite

oh yes, that is much closer. Well done! In the swimming pool under the hotel, our kids have learned to swim.

1:33 am

sprite

wait, I will send you a pic of terra... it is too sweet

1:34 am

grannyrose

ohhh, that means i can keep my hydro therapy going for the 4 weeks. whoot !!!

1:35 am

sprite

pic sent!

1:35 am

sprite

I think so... must be hours for recreational use as well as lessons, probably

1:36 am

grannyrose

awww he is so sweet

1:37 am

sprite

he just became aware he can look out of the window and see a different view... he is fascinated! He can see the birds of the wildlife rescue from my window.

1:38 am

sprite

so... that is enough about me, lol. How are YOU doing? How is Don?

1:38 am

grannyrose

recreational is not a word i would associate with my hydro program... lolll... oh, and btw don has looked it up, and as guests we have free access to the pool etc. ALSO my new swimwear has arrived. i now have 4 sets of swimwear...wait til you see them...

1:39 am

sprite

oh wonderful. And if things have not changed, the water is a higher temperature than in most swimming pools. That should help your muscles even more.

1:39 am

grannyrose

there is nothing like a silver-haired old lady in garish swimwear... it's enough to make you cower... lolll

1:40 am

grannyrose

so bring your sunglasses with you.... lolll

1:42 am

sprite

oh God no, I love that. I am all for excentricity. Had a tonne of fun with Rob... he pushed my wheelchair over the bicycle paths because that is easier than the streetwalks. And I went: "I am a bike! I am a bike! I am a bike!" And then he went back on the streetwalk and I went: "Awwww I am not a bike anymore..." And people were looking and you saw them think, lol. Some laughed though.

1:45 am

grannyrose

dear crossy is trying to get me to join a new social me5 site. i will have to email him, say thanx, but i don't have a) a phone with those sort of apps and b) i am to scared to open up yet another avenue for hackers to get to me. i have enough trouble with those so-and-so's now. i have been hacked from USA and also the UK. too scary for me.

1:46 am

grannyrose

oh dear.... roflollll.... another meaning for a bike over he4 is a female who s not discreet with her sexual favours...

1:46 am

sprite

awww sweetie. Get an android phone. Imagine being able to chat with me whenever for free, through whatsapp...

1:47 am

grannyrose

you have heard the te4 techno-phobe... it was created with me in mind.... lollll

1:47 am

Soodle

Late to the party as usual! Sprite - so sorry to hear about your ankles. What on Earth happened to you?

1:47 am

sprite

roflolllll well, in dutch a 'fiets' is a bicycle, or bike. No sexual meaning attached. Unless you count: "You have to learn to ride on an old bicycle" meaning better have sex with an older person the first time

1:48 am

sprite

hiya Soodle, thanks. Yeah, nothing much, just a misstep from an awkward set of steps in an old house.

1:48 am

grannyrose

soodle, you are so correct. it was on earth...

1:49 am

Soodle

Oh you poor thing! I broke an ankle once, it is not easy.

1:49 am

sprite

lol rose, silly

1:50 am

sprite

it was ugly, tbh. Foot was pointing the other way. Literally. So they had to repair it with pins, plates and a traction screw.

1:50 am

grannyrose

lollll, Don said at least your ballon is in english. he was very happy to be able to read it...lolll

1:50 am

sprite

lol! Or I would have translated it below, of course

1:51 am

grannyrose

yeah, soodle. when i get there i'm gonna show her how to use a sling for her ankle...

1:51 am

sprite

one for each leg, rose

1:52 am

grannyrose

i'm not saying sprite will be comfortable btw.. but it will be an interesting experience for her...

1:52 am

Soodle

(Strongly suspects injury was incurred jumping off wardrobes - again, and the wonky steps are a cover story) :-)

1:52 am

sprite

roflololllll oh soodle!

1:52 am

grannyrose

roflolll... yeah those swan dives can be brutal

1:53 am

sprite

and how to explain me wearing my catwoman outfit... shhhh

1:54 am

Soodle

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Sprite. ((()))

1:54 am

sprite

thanks Soodle!

6:59 am

MollyL

I just checked. I have all E's listed in stats and all E's in Lickety's List. This must be a Lickety Expert issue.
