I hope your mum is feeling better, sounds like everyone’s been through the mil and then some. There are some absolute idiots out there, the mind boggles!
She managed to have a little drive out today, mate but apparently got weak on her feet in M&S, and fortunately, someone who somehow knew she was 'the lady that was attacked' helped her back into her car with her stuff ... I am thankful to whoever that was ...
I must admit, I was asking Mum to still rest but she is one of those who is always so active and amazingly fit for her age, almost 70, and just retired from Spinal Injuries at JCUH... I decided to just let her get on with what she feels she's up to, as I stayed with the hound. She can't stand staying in the house and is out all the time, if she ain't hiking a 12-miler, she's out shopping and visiting friends/family, you know ... so she must have been climbing the walls the past week, the poor woman ...
I feel so stupid now and wish I went with her but I couldn't, with the hound
Somehow she drove home, which ain't far thankfully but she must be bonkers
She had to see a GP at Manor House in Normanby, though, too so had to be out to have her injuries seen to again ... getting better, her arm is all banded up and cleaned. More antibiotics
To say we have all been the mill and then some is an understatement, Newy, mate ... I am still struggling to process how it all happened at once, I have even wondered if I was a Chunt in a past life
, and this is God's punishment ... it feels like my whole world has been flung in a blender. But I can't just moan on and on. All of us are suffering someway these days, hard to find anyone who is honestly absolutely fine, there is a situation everywhere you turn .. especially with the state of living in general and people being so poor, a useless Govt losing control of the country means more idiots roam and crime goes up and up and up
I am absolutely knackered ... I am glad my Mother is up and about quicker than I thought, though. Can't let these idiots who caused this nightmare stop you in your tracks. Got to keep soldiering on. If someone told me a week ago both Mum and the Hound would be as they are now, I'd have thought they were pulling me leg!! ...
I am so proud of the crazy Bichon Frise, day by day he is coming back to himself. Some wounds opened up again but were cleaned out with saline and they are more just fresh scratches, now. It is crazy how the serious lacerations have mended so well but now these ones are doing his head in, and now he can reach them ... I heard dogs have something in their saliva that helps them when they are cut or something.
I don't trust that though as never researched it and he's on his broad-spectrum meds anyway and anti-inflammatory. As my insurance is knackered I am going to have to get to the PDSA with him somehow this week to let the vets have a look, and see if we can get any more pain relief. If only I drove, but typically, never have and I am thirty bloody six .. shameful. Hah
Anyway, on another note -
I dunno why, when I watched the presser with Leo earlier for us as interim coach .. it didn't half inspire me. I have been glass half-empty more than ever the past week. That guy always gets a smile out of me. Belongs with us Boro lot and I hope whoever comes in next, Leo keeps his job here ..
I would absolutely love it if we went on a great run of results under Leo, but I think we've already decided who is taking the job ..
Christ, what would I do without football and the Boro, despite what we have all been through as a club for too long, now
Hope we can take a sledgehammer to all this negativity in general and a Karanka-esque period is on the cards .. we are due some luck though sadly, the damage done in losing points under Wilder this season, we have got to be grateful for just survival as it stands.
If someone told me a month ago I would be saying I am looking forward to next season, I'd say they were nuts!
We will get there, together. X
