I've had my chest x-ray

Yes, I notice the drinking in others in the afternoon. My thoughts on this are, “What are they like at midnight”?

I used to be the worst alcoholic in my 30s. It led me to years just travelling around England. Strangely, I liked Worcester so much that I ended up there a few times.But I visited a lot of the other Cathedral cities too, Hereford was another favourite of mine.

These days I don’t drink. Before my current bout of illness (6 or 8 weeks) I would sometimes drink a glass of Malbec with my freshly made dinner, but only every 2 or 3 weeks. I don’t drink at all now.

When you se those pictures in the Daily Mail of revellers the previous night, one can’t help thinking about what danger people are putting them selves into. Spiked drinks, risk of being run over or murdered by a stranger or someone they know. Horrible things.

I’ll be having a ginger beer tomorrow though. It’s a drink I’ve always enjoyed.

I NEVER drink in the afternoon Dreamy.
I used to in the distant past.
It would put me to sleep if I had just one glass these days.
I totally agree with your comments.

I will raise a glass to you tomorrow.
I did spend one New Year in Scotland, they celebrate big time.

I have felt like that Richard, it is just awful…
Thoughts and prayers are with you tonight…

Happy New Year to everyone and thanks for continuing to post in this thread which provides answers and insights I could never have come up on my own.

When my husband had a stroke a few years ago we set up a calendar by his seat and he marked off a day each time he went to bed at night that helped enormously with him remembering what day of the week we were on.
With my MS I have to make sure I keep moving the muscles and limbs that I tend to forget about when i’m trying to keep comfortable. If you are in pain you tend to not move bits of yourself I wonder if that’s happening with your neck etc. It’s worth trying a few exercises with that in mind just to see if it helps.

I really hope 2019 is better for you ffosse.

Dreamy I hope you post today.
I know you are going out.
I want to know you are home and safe. X

I am going out but first I’m awaiting a chemist delivery.

Ok. X
Take care. X

Just had a couple who were in the shop below. I don’t know when they started but he was almost out of control. They were buying more alcohol.

I suppose it’s possible to black out, wake up and still hear the bells at midnight. Somehow I don’t think this couple are going to be up for that, especially as they started loudly complaining about the alcohol prices.

I felt a little intimidated, actually.

Oh, Dreamy I know what you mean.
My family have just returned from town, there was a punch up!!!

I like watching the pictures in tomorrow’s Daily Mail.

Happy New year Dreamy. X

And to you, Sweetie Pie. I saw nor heard anything of it going to sleep at 9.

Well let us hope those awful dreams stop Dreamy. X
Have a lovely day.

Happy to hear that you slept your way soundly into the new year, Ffosse.

Wishing you a good year ahead.

Same from me Ffosse. Hope 2019 sees your health improving. Keep your chin up buddy :slight_smile:

Happy New Year Ffosse! I wish you a speedy return to good health and much happiness and inner peace in 2019.

Happy New Year Richard, you are in my thoughts and prayers always…think good thoughts for the year ahead.
