Ladies of a certain age.

[sheddie]

:)Morning all! What aches and pains have you got today? My OH has his hip and leg hurting and indegestion, my friend rang and has her shoulders, knees and feet hurting, I have arthiritus in my knees that get stiff and painful but walk jess daily to keep them going.Just wondered what you have today? Have a good moan and lets know what's bothering you?Do you think Joan Collins has any aches and pains below that glamorous exterior?I'm a bit more Joan Rivers and just try to keep laughing!:D

[SheepyJames]

I'm OK now, sheddie, but you should see me when I've just got out of bed, hobbling about like an old lady! I, too have arthritis in one knee and am trying to ignore familiar signs in the other, but I'm not too bad once I get going. I try not to let it stop me doing anything. It's just part of getting older I think - everything starts to creak.

I try not to moan about it or anything else for that matter. No-one (apart from dear people like you) really wants to hear it, do they? They ask how you are but if you really start their eyes start to glaze over!!!

I'm a great Joan Collins fan. She's one of the "stick on the slap and carry on regardless" brigade and I really admire that.

Hi sheddie,sorry that you and OH are both suffering,it is not nice having arthritis is it;I guess I am the lucky one here since ----touch wood----- I don't have any problems with it or any other disabling complaint,but my OH is the one who suffers and sounds a bit like yours but without the indigestion! Your poor knees sound to be a problem for you but what you are doing walking Jess etc is just the thing to keep everything moving and so long as you don't overdo it,your mobility shouldn't suffer.Perhaps that is why you were meant to have little Jess so that giving her a loving home and daily exercise would in turn help your problems;maybe a strange way of looking at it but animals are so understanding and comforting aren't they and she sounds such a sweetie.
The only thing I can moan about was yesterday's excrusiating tooth ache but I managed to get an emergency appointment with our dentist and hopefully it has been sorted,so if I'm allowed a moan in retrospect then that was it!

[Crocus]

Hi Sheds, sorry to hear about you and your hubby's problems - I honestly hope that it will feel better through the course of the day.

Well, with your invitation to moan, then lets! My foot hurts again today, I've got a splitting headache (all the talk with sister and boys' exams). And I'm really tired

[dinger]

Find a quiet corner Crocus and let them all get on with it.

[Healing Hands]

Hope hubby has got better as the day has gone on. My lower back is still playing up a bit, but not as bad as it was a few months ago. Jack saw a cat on Saturday and of course he was on his lead and I did not see that cat so that meant he pulled my back out again....hey ho....

[lily]

I'm about 102 when I get out of bed- hobbling downstairs to make the tea if husband hasn't beaten me to it.I get younger as the day progresses, must say I do wonder about the day when I stay at 100+.

[eleanor2]

for once you got no moans from me.my empty nest,mid life chrisis and menopause are all o.k at the moment.goodness instead of the body all mine are in the head aghhhh , been shopping today..done really well so i'm all smiles.........

[Crocus]

..........hi Dinger, I did find a quiet corner - here with my dear RuralMusers! Delightful! :)

[sheddie]

Evening all, I had my walk around the park only did it twice instead of once, because I practise mind over matter and won't be beat.I think our OH's sound a bit familiar katelb, but he doesn't give in either!Sheepy hope you can keep it to just one knee and Crocus what do you say we all have a Brrrr?:)Glad you've had a good day Eeeee and all.XXXX

[Crocus]

Hi Sheds, I thought you're NEVER going to ask!!! ;)

[sheddie]

We must keep the faith at all times ladies and never never give up.Brrrr all round, bottoms up - not that bottom Crocus!! put it away for goodness sake! X:D

[Crocus]

...............why? .......

[franbee]

I've got sore feet because I've been standing all day at work, and neuralgia pains in my head and teeth, left over from a cold I had about 3 weeks ago, so I've taken a painkiller. I'm looking forward to a day off tomorrow then I can get to the gym, the stretching excercises really help to keep the body flexible.

[sheddie]

;)Because your sisters coming and needs a chat about old times and feeding. X

[Crocus]

Goodness Sheds, quite forgot about THAT!

[sheddie]

Hi Fran soak your feet and spoil yourself, agreed exercise is good if you can and crocus what sort of a hostess are you? X

[Crocus]

Goodness, you found out?!?!

[sunflower]

Well, Sheddie, no wonder you are all aches and pains today. Just look at what you were up to on our Firework night!!! You had MORE than one ride on that bumpy tractor, and before we lit the bonfire, you were climbing all over the wood to set up the guy. Not to mention the antics you got up to with Whiskers!!!. Then to top it all I saw both you and Crocus sitting on the damp grass sharing a bottle of Brandy. I hope you will be feeling much better tomorrow. Lots of love. xxx

[SheepyJames]

Wasn't the Brrr what gave her the headache in the first place, sheddie?!!

[dinger]

No aches and pains to complain about at moment just a bit shattered .Must be getting old.

[eleanor2]

thanks sheddy.hope you well .when do you go hospital for appointment.

[sheddie]

I'm a coward and I've cancelled my appointment, think at the moment there may be someone more deserving than me. I have been having brain scans etc. for a sleep disorder.Managing at the moment thank God and have been so busy. thanks for asking though. X

[jazzactivist]

Hi all, I don't have any major creaks and snaps, but lots of grunts. Is it a sign of ageing when you can't sit down or stand up without letting out an involuntary sigh or grunt?

[susiedart]

Yes plenty of aches & usually the newest one which hurts the most, makes me forget the old ones (just for a while).

[Crocus]

I'm so happy that I'm not the only one!

[sheddie]

Aches and pains or not I'm up and off to the park, can't sit down and complain. I am a DOER by nature.

[Crocus]

That's the spirit Sheds, that's the spirit!

[sheddie]

Getting old is when you drop something and wonder what else you can do while you're down there I think! X

[Crocus]

Yes, not bending down again - too laborious and difficult!xxxx :eek:

[sheddie]

Bet you have to bend to pull your Nora Batty stockings up though eh crocus? X

[Crocus]

hhmmmmmm.............! xxx Such hard work, phew!::rolleyes:
