Ours came this morning, we did get the yellow hotspot for the first one, went really dark like sunset time, and constant thunder, and flashes no more than a few seconds apart. Was like that for about 20 mins before it started moving off. But it wasn't as violent as last year's so I didn't get so scared, and the power remained on. We got more storms but weren't in the centre of those. Sunny now. Daisy was ok, I try to make them seem like an exciting thing to help her cope. This time she didn't hide under the bed, just wanted lots of reassuring tickles while looking out the window at it. Either that or the heat meant she didn't have the energy to be so scared and hide! She's got thick soft fur so the poor wee soul struggles in the heat. Not helped by the fact that she's in a - sitting on and in black bin bag mode just now!!! xxBrenda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319199253488833078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-24269615463734543062016-07-20T14:02:43.727+01:002016-07-20T14:02:43.727+01:00Hi Brenda - I did think of you and Daisy during al...Hi Brenda - I did think of you and Daisy during all the thunder last night.

I had two prolapsed discs in the lower spine plus the nerves between the joints in the spine were inflamed. I had strong Tramadol. Amitriptyline and Diclofenac then had facet joint injections where they inject cortisone and anaesthetic into the little nerves between the vertebrae. I had three sets 6 weeks apart. Once the pain was gone I was given exercises which I still do 9 years on to make sure the muscles and ligaments hold everything together. The injections are not always available on the NHS and if you can get them it's often one course then it often has to go to a panel to agree to more and can take months. I know a couple of people who have been in that situation under the NHS. I will always have a level of pain or discomfort but I live with it and it is not a real problem. Hope this helps xxChris Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16763420049171864426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-51479804397298001622016-07-19T23:34:00.895+01:002016-07-19T23:34:00.895+01:00Hi to all my lovely friends, sorry too tired to co...Hi to all my lovely friends, sorry too tired to comment on yours tonight.

I went up to school to say goodbye to a couple of friends and it was like an oven in there - was pleased to get out! Came home , put the umbrella up and sat on the patio doing some Groovi work. It was lovely. Mind you it was 41 degrees in the sun on our patio and 31 sitting in the shade so still really hot. Going to attempt to get some sleep now - not holding my breath there! Might have to try some ice towels.

If we have the front door and patio door open together, the front door slams! I made a wooden frame and covered it with net curtain to make a lovely screen for the patio door so, I can at least have that open, but Scamp can't get out and the flies can't get in! Works really well. <br />Glad you had a restful day. Love and hugs Alison xxxalimeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590486915910442414noreply@blogger.com
