Kwaffee is our go to drug of choice. <br /><br />Another two weeks and the days will be longer than the nights once more! <br /><br />Cheers, <br />Jaq xxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-91032286663797522152016-03-01T16:57:38.016+00:002016-03-01T16:57:38.016+00:00Hi Mark,
Lovely to hear from you again. Thank you...Hi Mark, <br />Lovely to hear from you again. Thank you for the tip on Gabepentin. I will look into it. <br /><br />I was in tears today on my way back home from my first physio work out. Had I been alone I couldn't have made it back to the boat 'nor could I have managed to deal with the routine chores aboard. <br /><br />While some of my tears were caused by the sharp, knifing pains shooting from my left knee to my left hip, several were tears of gratitude for Les. I am so fortunate he is my husband and cannot really in any meaningful way express how much I appreciate his loving care of me right now. <br /><br />Take good care of yourself Mark and good luck with your back. <br />Jaq xx Mrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-44039027533269345542016-03-01T16:52:57.342+00:002016-03-01T16:52:57.342+00:00Hi Carol,

Now I know exactly how far I have to go and I am trying hard not to feel down hearted. If only they had started me on this sooner. There was no room for me in the courses back at the end of week two when I should have begun them. Anyway, washing windows is the easy part!! :)<br /><br />We are not heading south this year. We are headed north, meeting up with American friends in Chester in July. Right now we are looking for some place to black our boat. We miss you both too. xxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-67655033392961553132016-03-01T16:49:51.344+00:002016-03-01T16:49:51.344+00:00Hi Karen,

I was knackered when I left and by the time I walked to the parking lot I was in so much pain I was crying. I barely made it home, where I lied down and cried some more while Les strapped an ice pack to my knee. <br /><br />four more weeks minimum of classes by I have no doubt I will have the degree of bend required to enter and exit cars and carry on. <br />Love Jaq xxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-60069960955777862392016-02-29T16:39:33.803+00:002016-02-29T16:39:33.803+00:00Les must be delighted that he can see out of the w...Les must be delighted that he can see out of the windows again!<br /><br />Great to hear you're improving all the time and well done for teaching the medical professionals a thing or two...
