Davina's diary

[davina61]

On a happy note did a complete male fail last night, one of the performers that knows J---- the trans woman I met last week came to talk and said I hope you don't mind me saying that I had no idea you were trans till some one told me. Then said how good  I looked and we ended up talking for ages. Went into town this morning and my BFF wanted her brows doing so I had mine threaded as well (ouch) and they did a better job on mine !!!! Got a top and a maxi denim skirt from charity shop and a hand bag , all £1.99 each. Further trips planed next week, might be getting a pro nail job tomorrow

[JudiBlueEyes]

Well that was nice validation of what we've been saying!  I'm glad to hear you had a nice conversation.
Threading sounds devilish!

[davina61]

Yes just need to work on my voice now, woman in charity shop yesterday afternoon jumped when I answered my BFF . Up to that point I was just another woman looking through the clothes. Meeting mum and aunty for lunch later and back to BFFs to help clean her house, more of an incentive to get her backside in gear than do cleaning!!!!! Overslept this morning and feel rough after 10 Hrs sleep, need to put all the clothes away I got yesterday and tidy bedroom as it looks like an explosion in a clothes factory. Got some new lippy and eye make up so will try that tonight , its prosecco night and then there is a karaoke night at another pub . Not that I will sing   :embarrassed:with my voice. Shower to wake myself up and sort house time. Hugs folks XXX

BTW just noticed its 1 year and 6 days since FULL TIME and in 3 weeks time 1 year  of HRT

Well went and saw the consultant about wrist, they made me ware a brace that makes my hand hurt more!!! Have to go for an MRI scan now and then back to clinic 2 weeks later, that went down like a lead balloon at work. Cant do much work with the brace on, see what happens tomorrow then. Cooking a steak and ale pie (Guinness, thanks Sara for leaving it) so if any one want to come to dinner they are welcome as its enough for 4/5 !!!! Had some steak that needed eating today and 2 more by the 17th so added some already cubed to make 1kilo , I know they would have frozen but where is the fun in that. Recipe said decant into 4 small bowls after 1 1/2 hrs cooking and then put on pastry lids but cant find any small dishes apart from a small enamel dish so might make that and freeze rest of filling. Got some new work bras, had to ask lady in store to find the ones I needed and she was great, just smiled when I said well they are still growing---- time to roll out the pastry, laters XXXXXX

@davina61
Dear Davina:
Thanks for sharing your good news...   
I enjoyed what  you stated about your new bra shopping... "they are still growing!"

Hey, it is too bad that your work place doesn't like the fact that your injured wrist is an issue with your work tasks.... hey, it is their manager that injured you.... it is their problem, not yours.

Thank you for keeping your followers updated.... followers want to follow!!!!
Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

Just got back and opened mail, MRI scan is on the 14th Dec, that means follow up at clinic wont be till new year with all the hols I expect. My BFF does hand massage and had a feel of the bad hand/wrist , she could feel something is out of whack. Going to watch a band tonight as her friend plays drums, meal first. Don't know if we will make the karaoke then. All the best to the diary readers of the life of an old dear!!!!!   O yes been told to try talking in my high voice tonight, see if it can last.






Keeping it real!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on your MRI appointment Davina. Have fun tonight but do take care of your wrist.

Hugs,
Donica.

Was a fun night , not good for the waist line as that was the 2nd pub meal in 1 day. Had a lamb shank with mash, mint gravy and veg followed by apple crumble and custard. Diet starts today!!! Band was good, BFF knows the drummer. They played , Mojo, Copper Head Road, blues songs I cant remember the names of and of course Mustang Sally. BFF said wear the skirt that I had on Wed night or keep the jeans and boots on that I had worn all day so I put skirt on and was the only 1 not in jeans . Might go out tonight if there is a good band on at the Green Dragon . 

[JudiBlueEyes]

Awesome!  It sounds like a great night out. I'm sure you looked great!

[davina61]

Well I like to think so!!!  Anyway made a Ketch and put in some of the broccoli to use it up. Never made one before and it came out great. wore my new work bra today without the fillets as almost don't need them (B cup!) , caught them a lot with out the protection and said a few ow's . Managed to do some welding on Panel van without straining wrist as its only holding lance and pressing trigger. Need a bigger 2nd wardrobe as run out of space , suppose I should stop buying clothes (NO) .

Update on docs , put me off work for 2 weeks. DONT take pain killers as you wont know if you are straining the ligament and it needs rest. From x-ray it shows dislocated/misplaced bone and from that they think its ligament, that and also the pain from when I twist wrist. Only problem is I will only get sick pay so think I will have to seek compensation.
Got some new bras as I said yesterday and they fit well and almost don't need the fillers!!! (40 B fitting). Have to cut back on the cooking as put on LBs . Open mic (must be Wed) and think my BFF is singing , Happiness as the BFF says XXXXXXXX to every one

Ouch ouch ouch....

This has been going on for quite some time with your wrist...Just taking pain killers won't help in the long run...Oh well two week forced holiday...a good chance to rest up and have some Davina time....Hope the next two weeks is enough to fix it for you.

Take care

Liz

I agree about the painkillers especially if you are at least a bit active.  Kind of hard to avoid as its your wrist. 

OK what is Ketch?  I got all kinds of responses, even when I inquired about common ingredients.  I know about the sailboat type!

That's nice that your news bras fit well.  XXXX to you and your BFF!!

[davina61]

Quiche was what it was supposed to say, that's spell checker for you!!! Taking it very careful with wrist, hard doing stuff left handed when your right handed. Liz its taken Docs a long time as had to wait for swelling and bruises to go first and that took 3 weeks then when it didn't improve went back and they sent me for X ray so that was another week gone and then specialist yet another week . Now have to wait for 4 weeks for MRI and then 2 more to go back to specialist. Nearly as bad as waiting for GRS!!!!Trouble is it wont get any better with out treatment as bone is miss placed. Still lots of ME time and making the most of it. XXXXXX

Dear Davina
Just time to pen you a note to say how sorry I am that your woes are continuing and I really wish you the best and a speedy and pain free recovery. Me time is good, but don't do anything that will cause delays in recovery.
Ill post stuff on my thread when I get time.
Luv n Hugz

Got to love technology!  I would never have guessed Quiche!

Thats a bummer that you have to wait so long.  Don't they have the means to expedite for a bone injury?  Since this was caused by your employer, is there a chance they would pay to send you to a private doctor?

Went to Citizens Advice and got some information to claim for compensation , need to spend a day on phone and computer now. Went into Worcester with BFF , did the charity  shop rounds again and she got 3 nice tops and a pair of jeans. I found a M&S T shirt for £1.75 and then a CASHMERE coat made for HARRODS below knee and a dark blue/black for £5 . Put it on as well as wind was sharp, it is a ladies one.  Found a wardrobe I like and it fits alcove in bedroom but its £300 , triple door with 4 drawers.Comes flat pack of course but that's the only way it will fit up the stairs!!!

Dear Davina:
I trust that you can obtain the compensation that you deserve.

Sounds like a wonderful and enjoyable day of shopping with your BFF.... that is always an enjoyable time... shopping therapy! 

I hope that you didn't strain your wrist carrying your new purchases up the stairs.

Thank you for your update.
Hugs,
Danielle

[davina61]

Thanks, hope to do some more later in the week. Want to check out some junk shops for bits to make some more trinket stands/trays.

[JudiBlueEyes]

Sounds like a fun time with your BFF.  My electrologist turned me on to thrift shopping.  Lots of great bargains out there! 

[davina61]

Having a flat day today sorting stuff out, took down my old wardrobe . That was my exercise for today carrying the old sections (as I had to take it apart) down 3 flights of steps and back up 10 times. Moved furniture in bed room ready for new wardrobe and sorted some clothes. Found a black fleece jacket that I forgot about!!!  and put some stuff aside for charity shop, new ladies short jacket in plum that I got in sale that's to small, some T shirts and a man jacket. Keeping my Billabong jacket even though its a man one as its a good bad weather coat. The swaging/noodling tool I ordered of fleabay yesterday came very first thing this morning , was a good job I decided to eat breakfast first instead of showering . Of to do more cleaning and cooking , open mic night tonight and BFF is singing. She has gone to practice this morning so had to skip planed (sorry Laurie) shopping .

[Katie Jade]

Dear Davina
I hope you are only taking small bits of wardrobe down those perilous stairs  at your flat. They are steep and narrow so you have to be careful dear. And tell me you have got someone to carry the new wardrobe up if it hasn't arrived yet.
Take care
Luv n Hugz
