Quick Footnote

Thank you to all those who suggested talking books to help fill the time whilst I am lying down.

I should have put in my previous entry that I have had talking books for a very long time.  I get two or three from the library every month, I am given them as presents and also buy them myself now and again.  But even they get boring if you are just lying there listening to someone talking at you.  Not a lot different from the radio in the end and then I have to move to change the tape or the disc to continue with the story.  Ho hum.

Thanks anyway.

Love,

Jeannette

In many dentist offices, they put a tv or a large (pretty) relaxing picture mounted on the ceiling so folks who are on their backs in the chairs can see it.  Would this be possible for you?  Or how about a mirror lol?  Sorry that slipped out and I didn't restrain myself.
loving you

Why not pick your favorite music to listen to, let your mind wander through it and relax completely.  Sometimes you can feel that you are just floating on a cloud listening to beautiful sounds....Love, Sandi

hello Jeannette. cant help you with passing time i'm afraid....but why dont you get a fan thingy and try pointing it at your boob to try and speed up the process a bit. it might not work, but is worth a try maybe. love Joanne

Hello Jeannette,
Is it possible for Mike to rig up a portable TV raised up on a small table or chest of drawers to the side of you so that you could turn your head a bit to watch it?  You could have the remote control to change the stations yourself.  I know you'd probably get a bit of a crick in the neck maybe but it might work just for half an hour or so.  Having a fan trained on you sounds like a good idea too to help dry the affected area.  Hope it's a bit better now anyway.  Love, Pat  http://journals.aol.co.uk/pm71blackfen/ramblings-from-pat/
