It's difficult -I am still inside the girl who rode difficult horses on the pampas but that girl is gone now .
The spirit as they say is willing but everything else has aged and things are not the same.
I cannot protect my children as I once did they are grown men now. .
Let your son come home when his health permits and stay with you as Twink says it will be good for both of you
Meanwhile
Get a dog -a large one !
It will be your companion friend and guardian
Take care now .
I agree Muddy, and have asked Swim twice if he reported it for the very reason you said - they might have had other reports and know who they are.
Suppose these people had tried half a dozen other places and no one reported them??
They are going to get lucky at some point!
Sorry, but don't think I agree with the suggestion of acquiring a dog at the moment, partly because Swim said he is sleeping most of the day, and very weak, but also because he's moving house.
He also mentioned he'd like to live in Poland previously. Heck of a journey for any dog when he wouldn't even know if it travels well or not IMO.
Personally, I think it would be wiser to wait until he has sorted out his health problems first, and got settled in his new home, then see how he feels about possibly adding to his troubles.
Hope you don't mind me saying this, Swim.

Surely you'd be crazy to consider a giant leap like that until you're well again and in fairly good health?
I agree, ruthio. But as Swim said earlier, he has already got his house up for sale now.

The medication is affecting me.
It took me a couple of moments to realise what was going on.
I am very weak at the moment, the one at the front door was halfway in before I could put him down, the one at the side took 3 hits.
.
I learnt long ago when living alone it not wise to open the front door without checking first. If I not expecting anyone I go to the bedroom window and look to see who is at the door before opening it. I can speak safely to anyone from up there too.

Re: Thank you.
Aaww, poor Swimmy - sorry to hear you're still poorly.My fingers, toes (and ok my eyes) are all crossed you'll be more yourself before too long - must be soul destroying to feel so vulnerable when you were previously so 'up there'.
Take care.

One chap mouthed some obscenity at me once... it worried me a bit later on, thinking he might do something, but I'm still here to tell the tale.
