Hi Patrick, thank you so much for your message to me, I do appriciate that, i had an abscess on my gums a few weeks ago and was on antibiotics and had to have a tooth out, was realy bad with it too, then we had xmas, our M and S turkey was lovely, first time i had to cook xmas dinner in 14 yrs, we usually go to Stewarts parents xmas day but because we are in tier 4 now we could not mix with any other household , so made the best of it, then monday the 28th Dec i had bad pains in my kidney and it got worse, i was throwing up, stewart had to call the ambulance, they sent a paramedic here in a car and he gave me gas and air and called for the ambulance, we waited several hours and it arrived, got to hospital and i had to wait in that ambulance for an hour or so, a nurse came into the ambulance and took blood from me, then i was allowed into the hospital, they gave me pain relief and iv antibiotics as the blood test showed infection, they did a scan and found ive got kidney stones! they hope they will pass on thier own, they gave me tablets to help the pass , and ive got antibiotics, i just keep going the best that i can, it was hard being the first xmas without my dad here too, he always phoned me xmas morning to wish me happy xmas and birthday, but i know hes ok where he is, xmas morning i went out in the garden, looked up and said happy xmas dad, and it started to snow, what a sighn that was from my dad, it made my day, i got some quacker factory tops, the butterfly motif one and the grey embroidered flowers one, stewarts parents bought me those, and i got dream jeans too, and skin care, i hope you and Sj are keeping safe and have an enjoyable new year, be nice once this nasty virus is gone forever, its good they got the vaccine, guess i will be offered it sometime as ive got illnesses like asthma , kidney problems, well happy new year here’s to a better year for all of us, christine
