Doctors, and hospitals, and flooding.

I can't believe it's been a week since I made an entry.
This last week has gone past in a flash.
I have been around though. 
I haven't caught up much on my alerts.  411 this morning I have.
I have enjoyed looking at all the entries for the photo shoot.  I have to say there are some beautiful places out there.

Let's see if I can remember what we've been doing.
 
Adam has been to the nurse twice this week to have his hand dressed.  I was hoping they would leave it uncovered, but apparently it has to stay covered until it has healed.
Last night, somehow, he managed to make his hand bleed under the dressing.  Not sure how he did that as he was in bed at the time. 
Adam is going to school tomorrow after he's been to the nurse.  We'll see how he gets on.
I have a photo of his hand.  Sorry if you are having breakfast.  It's not that bad.
It has healed beautifully.

Tuesday afternoon my neighbour rang to ask if I could look after her two children as she had a hospital appointment. 
Obviously I said I would. 
Adam spends a lot of time at their house and on many occasions has been invited to stay for tea. 
I knew she had broken her elbow, but didn't know she was on her own as her husband was away working in Holland.
She has been unable to drive and so her children have not been to school either.
Anyway I decided to take her to the hospital myself.
She had to return on Wednesday for physio, so I arranged to take her then as well.
This week she should be OK as her husband is returning home.
I will give her a ring though just to check.

Our main road into town was closed for two days this week as the River Severn burst it's banks. 
Thursday me and Adam decided to go and have a look.  The flooding was the worst I have seen it around here.  The river has gone down a lot now though.  I'm glad to say.

The photos just do not show how bad it was.

Friday it was Laura's turn at the hospital for a scan.  Thankfully everything looks OK.  She will however have to return in a few weeks.
 
Gosh!!! So much doom and gloom this morning.  I feel like Eastenders, very depressing.  Sorry for all you Eastenders fans out there.  Can you tell I don't watch Eastenders.????

Keith, Adam and me went to a pantomime on Friday evening with a group from the village. 
It was Little Red Riding Hood. 
I think I can say that we all enjoyed it.
It was performed by a group of amateurs.  And I do not mean that to sound disrespectful. 
They did a magnificent job. 
This is a little theatre that has no funding other than donations. 
The performers are all volunteers.
This was the first time I had been, but I don't think it will be the last.!!!
Besides their ice-cream was delicious.prettyflowerzline.gif picture by MM7129
 
The weather this week has been horrible as usual.  Rain, rain, and more rain.  Icy mornings as well.  High winds that tried to rip my hair out.
But yesterday, Saturday, what a change.
It was quite warm.  That elusive orb, the Sun came out. 
I had forgotten what it looked like.
It shone all day.
Washing was blowing on the line for the first time in months.  Yeah!!!  I love to see washing blowing on the line.!!!
This morning looks a bit Blahhhh.  Still it is only 7.45am.  It has time to turn nice.prettyflowerzline.gif picture by MM7129
 
We still have sheep in the field.  I don't know what the lorry was doing, but I don't think it took any.  There are rams in there, so perhaps we may see lambs soon.  I hope so.  I love lambs!!!

Well, I think that wraps it up for now.  I need more tea.
Have a great Sunday.

Adams hand looks great.  Healing nicely!
Those floods have been terrible!
What a shame your neighbour was handicapped by her injury and couldn't take the children to school.  How kind of you to be there for her too.
Have  lovely Sunday yourself.

Thank You for your kind comment carol. I wasn't able to email you as it wouldn't let me! Just wanted to say .... Not even a wee sip! lol. The flooding is horrendous and so sad. It's soul destroying to watch all that water destroying so many homes. On a happier note, I am so pleased that Adam's hand is healing. Well done Adam. Love Pam xx

My goodness but Adam's hand looks bad, but much better than it did I am sure.  Praying that it continues to heal well.  Sorry about all the rain and the flooding. It's it's not too much rain, it's too little!!  we have had a lot of rain here, but thankfully we are on higher ground so it's not been too bad for us, just depressing day after day!  Wising you a healthy, happy and productive week ahead!

Adam's hand looks great!  I didn't expect it to look as good so quickly.  He's so lucky.  The flooding looks terrible!  Have a good week coming up.

Adams hand is looking much better than I expected.  I know you said it was supposed to heal nicely.  And it certainly looks as if it is.


Those photographs, my gosh that river is swollen.  Wonderful pictures - I hope that there isn't much property damage for those living in the area.

I just tried to make a long comment and it didn't go then I tried to e-mail you and that didn't either so I'll try again. Thank you for asking about me. I'm feeling much better after a set back last week. Hope Adam's hand continues to heal nicely. Don't know if you're read my journal long enough to know one of my daughter's lived in England for three years. They loved it there and learned to ride horses there. As a result my granddaughter is in Hunter Jumping competition. The flood there where you are looks very scary. Hope it wasn't near you and I'm sorry for any people who had damage. Paula
