Word of the day is ‘whiffling’ (17th century): fickle, inconstant, and making it up as you go along.

Mealtimes should be nourishing - both physiologically & emotionally.

But, hospital eating environments in mental health wards don't always create the best setting for healing.

Take a look at our animation with @susanguthrieslt.bsky.social exploring patient stories: vimeo.com/1041186684...

Physio thinks i have a meniscus injury 😭pain in my knee, it feels weak, it hurts if I bend it, straighten it or it twists. Physio also thinks it’s because my left knee has been overcompensating for my bad right ankle since my accident almost 3 years ago! So fed up with being in pain

Ginny is having one of the screws in her knee removed on Monday. Her 4th procedure on the knee since the end of 2022. Poor girl.

Ginny is having an xray on her knee this morning. I don’t do well when she is in the vets for a procedure. I probably wont be calm until I know she is okay and awake. Hopefully it’s only something small and she won’t need another knee surgery. She’s been through a lot in the past few years.
