Hi Guys
Taking a break from typing as I am nursing a pain in my wrist/forearm, but as always, I WILL be reading! -

Oh no, speedy recovery soon!
I know everyone has those home remedies, so here is mine. Try some peppermint oil. Not directly on your skin but on a towel that has a few drops.

They may have there, I noticed they are starting to sell essential oils. Fairly reasonable.

Hi Feeling a little better - thanks - Typing aggravates it - as does pulling weeds, hand watering and lifting heavy pots. The things I do all day (lol) but at least the strapping stayed off today so it's all good Thanks for asking!

Hi Everyone. Winchfield Mini Town (the two that never actually happened, but that's another story!) here. I've missed you all so much. I lost you all on the DS website for a while, but here you are, still fighting the good fight. Topiary, if you don't mind couple of suggestions, keep the arm/wrist warm, to increase blood flow. Within the blood runs oxygen and anti inflammatory 'shuttles' that come in and clear all the inflamed issue. Get some magnets, or a magnet wrist band and wear it on that side. It should help settle it all down. I don't know how many of you remember me and my story of how my estranged children came in and asked me about my Will when I was int intensive care after a diseased tree fell on me and nearly killed me? Nothing from my ED's since, not a card, not a call. I could be dead and if I was, the only thing that would arouse their interest would be the Will. But I have discovered its not just the EC that behave like this, its the non estranged as well.One of the many friends and neighbours that helped look after me and bring me back to the land of the living was sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer. I always thought they were the most perfect family, four children, one a doctor married to another doctor. One a lawyer, one a headhunter and one living abroad with her own successful business. When the diagnosis came in, they did cluster around their father and mother and at first it seemed that all the love, support and sacrifice their parents gave them was being returned. But, the doctor son did not want to get involved, the lawyer son paid for a cleaner for a few months and then that dropped away, the daughter abroad moved over to here, but now spends her time expecting her mother to babysit three children for free and the last daughter moved locally and also gets her mother (who should be looking after her sick husband) to babysit her baby too. The one thing the parents, my friends, need more than anything is financial help and believe me, most of those kids have financial security, based on the private education that the parents spent their lives financing. My friends are in their 70's and they still have a mortgage. No one in that family has put their hands in their pocket to help their beloved father. I make soup and meals and try to offer love and support, but those 'loving children?' Nothing.

Hi Win - Welcome. Thanks for the advice -
As for your friend's kids - No surprise there - they are the typical parasites. Very sad but a common tale.
Glad you are all finding your way here. I check the site every so often - but not very - There is not a lot of activity here.
Keep on checking back here - if you need help, just let us know.
