Once again I must begin by thanking you all for your kind thoughts and comments - all much appreciated.
I had my scan done on Wednesday but needless to say no results were given and I now have to wait to see the opthalmologist at the hospital in Yeovil again for her to tell me what if anything has been found and who knows when that might be. I am glad to say that the problem is not as bad as it was and most days I am OK now. I am also glad to say my virus has pretty much gone now and I am feeling like my usual self and not so tired or depressed. End of health bulletin!!
I have been lurking round blogland occasionally and reading a post here and there but I have realised just how much time I had been giving to blogging and am resolved to cut back on both posting and reading and commenting. According to Blogger I follow over 100 blogs and I have 169 followers - now in real life I wouldn't/couldn't correspond regularly with that number of people and so I think I must reduce it all a bit otherwise nothing else gets done.
I haven't been taking many photographs lately and have nothing exciting to show you but these are from a walk I did with a friend on 18 November. It was the first real walk I had done since the start of my cold 4 weeks earlier and boy was I glad when we reached the pub where we had left our cars and we went inside for a pub lunch and a nice sit down! Those sheep in photo 2 saw my friend opening the map and I think they thought it might be a feed bag as they made a bee line for us only to be disappointed when they discovered we had nothing to eat!
pleased to see you pop up at the top of my blogroll and glad to hear you're feeling a little better. I've spent all day studying so it was good to see your walk pictures - I must try and get out more!
ReplyDeleteGood to read your post!
ReplyDeletePrayers and good vibes your way for the test results.
I manage the blogs I read in order of their updates. I try to limit comments to no more than a few a week. I keep all the other blogs are in bookmark folders that I check regularly, but not every day (or even every week). If they aren't updated in a few months,then I delete them.
I am glad that you are making some progress, and hope that you continue to do so. You might find it easier if you followed your blogs in Google Reader, so you could check up once a week, and read several posts at a time. Do keep us posted anyway - I have been thinking about you and hoping that you were OK.

So glad to hear you are on the mend and I hope you get the results soon of your scan.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you went for a lovely walk even if it was jolly cold!
Take care
So nice to have you back Jane - but take it easy.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear you are feeling better and a bit more cheerful.Nice to see some outdoor photos.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back, and hoping that all your results will be good.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if your sight problems may have been connected with this weird virus. Everyone I know has had different symptoms, - all that they really have in common is that the virus lingers for far longer than you'd really think it ever would. Anyway good luck with the scan results.
ReplyDeleteYes, blogging can be time consuming. I find I often end up looking at only a few. I try to rotate them a bit though. I think I might miss them if they were not there!
Glad to hear you've improved a bit. Good to see a post from you. I think most people who enjoy blogging won't get upset if you don't answer everyone. (If you're feeling guilty you could just leave them with MARIGOLD JAM WAS HERE!) Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you Jane and good news that you feeling a bit better!
ReplyDeleteTake care,

Lovely to see a post from you today, Jane. I'm glad you are feeling better, that is good news. I enjoyed the photos of your walk, especially the sheep. I hope you continue to improve and the scan results go well.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Helen x
Very good to hear from you Jane and I hope that your condition will be diagnosed and treated promptly with a full return to health.
ReplyDeleteI have all the blogs I follow in Google Reader, that way it is easy to choose which to read at any one time.
Really glad to hear that the scan went ahead! Hope you get to hear your results soon, its the waiting that can take its toll sometimes....
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud re the sheep on your walk! Brilliant!
Lovely to hear from you again! I have been popping by regularly to see how you are. I am glad that you are getting better and feeling more like yourself once more.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you are feeling so much better, and confident your results will be good. Great to see your post.

Ah so glad you dropped in with a bit of news. I have been thinking of you and hoping you were making progress.
ReplyDeleteCheers
PS Lovely photo. Having a gate there makes all the difference.
Good to hear that you are feeling much better. That must be such a relief so close to Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane glad to hear that your health is improving, and to be outdoors enjoying that beautiful countryside, the photos are lovely as always!
ReplyDeleteOh my dear, I am just catching up and didn't realize all the problems you are enduring. I am so sorry and pray that your eyes are fine.
ReplyDeleteI too am having problems with the sheer chunk of time that blogging takes. It doesn't leave lots of room for life.
Sending love to you and wishes for good health,
Sharon
It's good to see you posting again. I really love that second photo with the sheep..so pastoral, not something I get to see around here where I live.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you seem to be doing better, that is good news. Blessings to you!
Hope the scan gets to the bottom of the eye problem Jane. Lovely to see you back on screen but as Jill says, pace yourself and enjoy. Lesley x
ReplyDeletePleased to hear you are feeling a bit better and have gone the next step with your eye problem. Let's hope the next step won't be too long coming. Take care,
ReplyDeleteSylvia.
Good to hear from you Jane,, and Maybees are having their 'Christmas Do' this Wednesday (7th), and it would be great if you popped in to see us!!
ReplyDeleteJust pop by when you can, it's always lovely to hear from you especially as we are almost neighbours :-D
ReplyDeleteHello Jane, such good news to hear that your eyesight is improving. I hope we don't lose you from Blog Land!
ReplyDeleteI was so sorry to read of your recent eye problems and horrid virus Jane. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to look at blogs so am very behind. I'm so glad things are improving and your sight seems to be better. All fingers crossed it continues that way. Emma x
ReplyDeleteGood luck, i can sympathise as I to have had a year of eye clinics and a biopsy on my left eye (which may have been a tunour), I have been told I have a disease called sarcoid which makes lumps in soft tissue, my final appoit. is in january, good luck with your tests, and happy christmas.

I can relate to that, getting nothing done that is. This blog stuff is very addictive.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying reading yours.
