@Izzyjamal‍

Hi Izzy

I am so very sorry to hear the news about your eye hospital appointment. As if you didn't have enough going on in life, to receive this bad news must have been a real blow. I am truly sorry to hear that. Yes, you were daft to clean the apartment, but I can understand why you did it. You perhaps wanted to keep your mind off the news you received and wanted to throw yourself in to forget about the news for a while. You will know better in future. You know your capabilities, so do not extend beyond that. So you have not tried your new mobility scooter out yet. With your eyesight fading, do you think you will be able to cope driving it? Have you considered a working dog for the blind, before you actually go blind? I will certainly keep you in my prayers my friend. Where about do you live now since you moved out of Manchester? Where is all this rain you are talking about? Take care.

Love and God Bless.

Christina

Good Evening My Lovely Friends.

First it has been raining in Manchester everyday. I live North Manchester facing Heaton Park.

I know Iger I was stubborn with the cleaning that I had to finish today!!!

I have 4 Beautiful Pink Cat Faces only for Medication. I have near me my Gaviscon for my reflux that is getting worse. On top of all this I commenced on a Blister Pack!!! Plus my Creams Lotions and Potions for my intimate care due to at present need a pull up pad 24/7....

It was with surprise that I acknowledged all my medication!!!!

But Tiger I was stupid didn’t sleep nothing with the pain and today has been a long fight between me and my SMA!!!!

SMA -1 Izzy -0!!!!

I cant even remember where I put certain things.... honestly....

Christina I don’t know what is going to happen to be honest.

Like my Eye Consultant said we will try these glasses and see how long can I see with them.....

No Mobility Scooter for me it’s been raining like crazy here....

Winter is coming..... long dark days my SAD will be “my friend”..... God... enough?????

TO ALK MY LOVE 😍 AND TIGHT HUGS 🤗

My dear IzzyWhat can I say to all your problems that I haven't said before. I am truly sorry to hear what you are going through. All I can say that you are in my prayers, and take each day as it comes, one day at a time. Thank the Lord for waking you up each morning with a gift of life for yet another day and let God take care of you. Leave all your worries in His hand. When do you get your glasses? Riding your new mobility scooter will give you a bit of independence. Are you still able to persevere with writing of your book? I wish you well my friendLots of love and hugs to youChristina

Good Afternoon Lovely Ladies!!

I am here now defeated!!! I got up at 05.00 am soiled! Cleaned my self and come back to living room.

Notice that I had soiled the sofa and I grabbed a good amount of Dettol Wipes. Whilst doing this the sofa started to burn in flames I managed to put them off but then it went to my living room table!!! I had called 999! But managed to put fire off myself.

Here I am with burns to my face arms and face- no eyelashes or eye brows and a blister on left eye!!!

My Flat “that I killed myself!”to clean is again in caps state!!!

And I ask IS THIS FAIR??? DONT I HAVE ENOUGH GOING ON????

Very sad today Ladies.

This burns burn a lot plus my chronic back pain plus my 24/7 Neuropathic Pain... I’m in agony!!!!

Love and hugs 🤗

I am sorry that you are having such a rough time. To be honest I can't find words sufficient for the situation as I can't even begin to imagine what it is like. Do they know why the sofa caught fire, are you able to live there. Please take care, don't rush things and just take one day at a time.
