If you're craving "going somewhere off on my own" it doesn't have to be packing up for a trip, maybe just a lovely walk somewhere you've never been.1st Matehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276608080436409432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-2601503022076851752009-04-28T11:00:00.000+01:002009-04-28T11:00:00.000+01:00Yes, we are well and truly getting wintry here now...Yes, we are well and truly getting wintry here now.

My hearing is not as sharp as it used to be,(I'm not very good on the switchboard at work!) so it makes for some very interesting conversations! But hey, you gotta larf!<br />Hope you're feeling better soon.<br />Big hugs from LyndaLynda (Granny K)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00769451312708886145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-29638767111831355872009-04-28T02:10:00.000+01:002009-04-28T02:10:00.000+01:00Cherrypie,

A lot of us are loosing hearing but that is caused by age or is selective hearing! Try to look at this as an UP beat thing. They know know what is wrong and can start helping it. If some things start getting better There is lots of hope others will follow.Angel, Kirby and Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142914249981749713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-49162907308575310842009-04-27T09:00:00.000+01:002009-04-27T09:00:00.000+01:00My dear Helena I was so shocked to read your news ...My dear Helena I was so shocked to read your news to start with but so glad too that you've finally found doctors who know what they're talking about and can help you. It's fantastic that the doctor knew what to do for the dizziness, how amazing! But even that takes some thinking about and coming to terms with, doesn't it? I think Freebird, Emily and Denise are right and I hope their words will help you get through this. Do exactly what you feel you need to do and don't put any pressure on yourself, just try and 'be' and do whatever feeds your spirit, or do nothing if that helps too. Tell Dilly and Bob they have to be special carfterers. Enjoy your garden for a while and keep an eye on the baby birds if you have some this year. Sending you lots of love and hugs xxxxxJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-84161381036567143372009-04-27T07:59:00.000+01:002009-04-27T07:59:00.000+01:00Hi Honeybunch,

Sounds so difficult to organise but why not start with a small step...I listen to Radio 4 when I want a bit of space, the afternoon play at 2.15 is a godsend, as are the Archers. It takes me to a place on my own, as does Classic FM, I know it's not what you need wholy, but it's achieveable today.<br />((((HUGS))))mrsnesbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882736507772457598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-14695117269790732872009-04-27T05:53:00.000+01:002009-04-27T05:53:00.000+01:00Hi Helena,

Finally you have found out what has really been going on and, by the looks of it, finally someone who knows what they're doing. But, on the other hand, difficult news to come to terms with. It's terrific that you have the support of your Mum, though. I know there's a lot I couldn't have got through without mine. And I know exactly what you mean by needing some time out to be on your own, just to rest and reflect. I have had that feeling a lot myself lately with ongoing health issues which just never seem to get any better. I am thinking of you, over here in wintry Australia, and I can only say to you what I say to myself every day - one day at a time. <br />Hugs, Emily xEmilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-21291688112376698832009-04-27T04:25:00.000+01:002009-04-27T04:25:00.000+01:00Hi Helena.

My niece is having big trouble with vertigo and they say she has Meniere's disease. What they were giving her for it was hurting her damaged heart so now they have to rethink what to do. I am glad your doctor found what you really have and was able to take care of the dizziness so easily. One problem solved! <br /><br />Your last lines saying you wish you could go away and be alone but it's odd because you are lonely actually makes a bit of sense to me. I'd say you are looking for a spot of peace where you can digest all that is going on without more piling on. Feeling lonely comes on because even if others know about your troubles you are still the one who has to deal with them and it seems to separate you from the rest of us. Thank goodness all of that gradually passes and you'll come through and feel better - at least I hope so. Pet your kitties - animals are always so accepting of us even when we are unhappy.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.com
