Hospital visit. Pics of . The men in my life . Big Al @Ben

Oh i have been really busy today ,catching up on as much as i can
as tomorrow Wednesday i have to be up with the lark ! i have to
be in hospital by 9am ...and its 30 + miles from me and the traffic
into the city ..PLYMOUTH.. [ UK ]will be heavy , a good friend is driving me I,m having an epidural into my spine for pain relief ..its not pleasant ,but it really does make a difference to my day to day life , i have three a year, surgery is really major and the surgeon cannot guarantee i will be pain free after !! it involves a rod some scaffolding and lots of screws !!!in and around my spine..i would have to be in good shape to have the operation ...not sure what he means by that ..ha ha ..i,m putting it off for as long as i am able .i,m much better than i have been for a long while.. i also have ..Fibromyalgia..which is behaving at the moment .. its been .a challenging seven years .but like any chronic condition you learn to live with it ,and i am a positive kinda gal and my friends laugh as i always have my lippy on no matter what ....well i have to look at.. me ..so i reckon i gotta look my best ... when i was nursing i didn't have any pockets in my uniform so well guess what ? i kept my lippy down my bra !!!i,m good at improvising !!So for 3/4 days i am supposed to take things easy ...for best result. Ben is in respite until Thursday night. Ben is autistic and some brain damage/+epilepsy and although almost thirty is like a young boy really he is very handsome and has a lovely personality, we are very close.
Think of me.....

Hair

Big Al and me on hols in Wales last summer with all the relatives down on the farm ..we had a games afternoon ...it was a lotta fun..!!!!
Last year was a hundred years of the classic..Bob... i read in a fashion magazine waiting at the hairdressers in early December my intention was to just have a trim ,i was telling Denise who cuts my hair ,she said yours would suit that ,and well before i knew it fourteen inches of length was on the deck....my hair was the longest it had .ever been mid way down my back its very curly and red !! so now i have an inverted Bob!
I returned today for just a trim..
You see until i was forty i disliked my hair, but then something happened .. we had some teaching in my church about who we are in Christ Jesus ...God revealed to me who i was ,,i had some prayer about the issues with my hair and now i ...Love it... and don't want to go gray ...possibly ever .both my Granny's were redheads so it was bound to happen to one of us i have four sisters and i am number four
It was actually my Mum who disliked red hair and was relieved when the first three were born and were dark brown ,when the district Nurse [Cookie ] who's 50Th birthday i was born on [ she delivered us all at home ] wrapped me up and handed me to Mum she forgot all about the red thing ..unconditional.. Love.. my Mum really did not want a fourth child let alone another girl ..God new me in my Mothers womb ... PS 139
says it all ..don't you think ..oh and girl number five arrived a year later !!
