Waiting for surgery on a 2.5 year list. When are we going to stop blaming covid? surgeries paused for 5 months = 2 years more than the government expected wait time? I'm off again & 7 admissions in 2 months, it's costing a fortune in lost wages and admissions and needs fixed!

Just to add that it's a simple gallbladder removal so the impact that it is having on my life is significant as I'm literally bent double with pain and now taking 5 different painkillers and an anti spasmodic in an attempt to get through the day. #gallbladderpainistheworst

I never thought I would miss walking so much but it's been a week since we came home from Spain and I really just want to slip my trainers and backpack on and walk through more cute Spanish towns and stop for some tortilla y zuma de naranja #caminodesantiago #ultreiaetsuseia

Almost 130km walked with my teenager this week on the #CaminodeSantiago Frances route and this morning we are on the early train back to Madrid, quite sad not to be getting up and trainers on ready to walk!

Meanwhile back home my husband is looking after our pet rats and has just had us all laughing as he has been chasing one of them around the living room after she jumped out of the cage and wouldn't go back in. She normally climbs up my sons arm to go back in with no problems 🤣
I surprised the kids with a wee trip to N.Ireland for their October break, spent a few days in Derry doing some of our family tree and learning about some of the history. We are now in Belfast for another few days

Love the language 'person-led' all our care services should be aspiring to this not just in social care but across all areas. "People we care for do not just have needs, they have dreams, ambitions, talents that are waiting to be unleashed" #lothiancareconference24

First time trying these @Higgidy mini muffins after getting out of surgery earlier today and they are amazing and they didn't last long...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ will definitely buy again as they will be great for lunching on the go for work too

So proud of my 12 year old daughter for completing the #kiltwalkedinburgh yesterday and raising more than £200 for her #GirlGuides. Even more proud of myself (even though it has brought on a bad #PEM crash today), 6 months ago I could barely walk 500 meters #LongCovid #EAsthma

Today is the day, my 12 year old and myself are raising funds for the 1st Gorebridge Guides by walking the Edinburgh Kiltwalk. Wish us good weather and no sore feet vibes! #KiltwalkEdinburgh #gGirlguidingScotland justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

My 12 year old is walking the @thekiltwalk big stroll next weekend to raise money for her @Girlguiding troop (and I'm being dragged along too), she's done amazing so far, if anyone has a spare £ or 2 it is for a great cause. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…
