Being Dumb

 About 3 years ago I started to have pain in my right knee.  It's always worse after sitting for more than an hour or in the morning.  Went to a doctor that specialists in bone and pain management.  Turns out I have bone on bone arthritis.  For the past few years I have been taking pain killers to deal with this.  The best is to loose a lot of weight, I'm trying but it will take time to loose the amount I need to feel better, about 3 to 4 stones.   I felt that the painkillers weren't doing that much.  I get three months of painkillers at a time and keep the ones I'm taking in a plastic box on the dining table. The extra are in the pharmacy bags in a draw.  Yesterday I was looking for something else and came across the extra medicine.  I looked at the instructions on the bag, I'm supposed to take 6 of these tablets a day, 2 at each meal.  For the past 3 years I've been taking two a day!  No wonder they weren't working.  I could never figure out why had so many of these tablets left over after I had finished the others!

Should be 6 a day, not 2!!!!

We have had a little visitor the past few days.  A really noisy, sweet looking cat.  At first I thought it was one of our ginger cats as it looked like them.  But no it's stray.  It's been fixed so we are wondering if it got out and got lost.  Hannah set up a plastic box with blankets and food.  He comes and goes.  David called to the vets to ask if anybody had lost a cat and checking social media.   I would take it in but I really can't afford it, also our cats really hiss and growl at it through the window.

Sorry for the mucky window! Our visitor.
