Pam, those all sound like very positive things to do to me .

I'd go with Nike here: Just do it!

Consult booked 10am Friday. My mum moves fast, I asked her to come with me as I’m too scared to go on my own, she messaged me back saying she’s at the hair salon with my sister and they have booked an appt with the clinic my sister went to earlier in the year.

Consult includes going ahead with it if inclined.... feeling quite adventurous....

Now to book the dentist lol.

What does this "if inclined" mean? Tsssk. Can't find it in the dictionary. Of course it will include going ahead.

And the dentist is booked for Wednesday 4.15pm.

Pam,

You are on the move........

Thrilled for you; quite adventurous....stay in that "mode" (adventurous)!!


Gerry

Be reminded of the beautiful spirit that lives within
That shines brighter than any physical trait
You are a big part of this vast global world
Far awY you are
But close to my heart you live
Your ability let things happen as it happens
Giving the benifit that intentions are coming from goodness
And when let down are able to reach out and share it with us me the world

I have come to know a woman who is selfless
And that a good thing
Not to be mistaken for being weak or not all there
I listen to you carefully
And can find all that the world needs to be a better place
Did you know that
If one person can understand your desired journey
That you put others before yourself
Is not to be mistaken for something else
But for what it is

Before I go on and on and off subject

You will shine even brighter
Whatever it takes to get to happiness
And not hurting another be as Gerry puts it
An adventure
A wonderful adventure
You eat it up
And come away from it feeling as good as one can feel in your circumstances
Gift yourself with being kind to you
When we do do do for others we tend to forget about ourselves
Let that not happen to you
Happy for girlfriend
Wrap yourself around it
Like I said
The beauty is already there
It can only get better
Enjoy
Enjoy
Love
Me

Best I can do to explain.....If inclined= If I decide to

Sorry, my bad. I fully realize it may not be clear to all, but I was of course being slightly sarcastic - in a nice way. To be totally clear, I'm 110% supporting having the procedure done, I think it's great news (and very smart too.)

Edit: the word "inclinatie/inclination" exists in both my native languages (Dutch/French) and has the same meaning - it originates from both middle-English and Latin. (and I'm a nerd. )

Ok then, 24hrs later and a very anxious day with my mum having a vertigo attack, me having to walk 2.3km in the heat, a significant breakdown in communication with the consultant I have today woken with a slightly swollen face that I’m told will go down. Apparently it takes 2 weeks to notice the full affect. Yesterday as the skin applied anaesthetic wore off the pain got worse, but I couldn’t take time out to look after me as I had Mum to tend to. Mum had to come first, she’s 86, I couldn’t live with myself otherwise. Anyway, I got her home driving across the city with an ice brick held to my face and slept the night on a frozen wheat pack. I’ve come to the conclusion nothing is ever going to be easy in my life.

But everything happens for a reason, mum having a turn while driving meant the car abandoned, parked in a car park outside a Thai restaurant and I walked to get it late yesterday afternoon after having taken her home and made sure she was ok. Driving her car home I was horrified to feel a judder and hear this terrible clacking noise coming from her front left wheel. As she has only 10% hearing she will not have heard it, but I can’t help but wonder if the juddering triggered her vertigo attack. I’m just glad she’s safe and didn’t have an accident. She was stopped in the middle of the road and 2 young men went to her assistance, pushing her car to the corner and phoning me. My brother thank god here from Queensland will have a look at the car this morning and decide if it’s roadworthy to drive to her home. I’m not confident!!

Post edit; Brother found huge wad of masking tape she had run over, a large bulge of it was hitting the inner rim everyime the wheel rotated, and some of it was free flapping against the car making the clacking sound. I couldn’t get down to the ground to see it after my long walk. So car taken to mums by him & Sil & I’ve asked him to check for the judder I could feel, although that said, the judder may have been the sizeable wad of masking tape. So zero outings for me today other than the pharmacy tonight when it’s cooler. Mum feeling washed out & legs weak but ok. We’ve all told her not to prune the garden anymore, she knows from previous occasions it causes her to have vertigo attacks.
