That is good. Same here.
I am like you with hot water bottle's, they are a comfort.
So glad that you were able to go out. you.

My chemo is causing problems with my feet and when they get warm in the night they start to itch. I’ve tried all kinds of ointments but the only way I seem to be able to stop the itching is to fill a hot water bottle with cold water and put it between my feet! It not nice but I then stand a chance of getting back to sleep!

It's amazing the range of side-effects people get from chemo.

I'd wondered about those - I am a bit young, though, I think. Where would be the best place to get one?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I'd love a scooter but don't really have a means of storing it as there are stairs leading up to my house.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Dreamy you MUST claim PIP.
You will then be able to get a scooter on the mobility scheme.
People of all ages use them. You will be able to have a ring bolt to secure it outside. My BIL did this.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Although I'm self-employed, I think my health conditions may make me eligible for PIP. I will look into this. But I doubt I'd be able to secure the scooter outside, and it would be too big for the stair.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Maybe time to think of moving to easily accessible accommodation?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

No! I've been here eleven years and don't want to move. As it is, I think I'd be too ill to move anywhere anyway.
