What a surprise @Shaz51 !!!

Cosy and warm I would imagine 😀

@Adge I saw the most stunning birds at the zoo total, colours galore. I thought if you. One sulpher crested cockatoo that kept repeating "hello gorgeous" 🤣🤣

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

That sounds lovely @Anastasia

Some of the Asian parrots & birds at Zoos are very colourful (gorgeous).

I especially like the Golden Pheasant - Which you can actually buy more easily now (I've seen them for sale).

To keep at home as a pet - A bit like a Chook.

Yep, "Hello Gorgeous" is very cute - I once had 2 Sulphur Crested Cockatoos.

They're very loud (noisy).

The Cockatoos & Macaws live up to 70 years - A very long-term commitment.

Thanks for the info @Shaz51

It does make me wonder how bad you have to be to get a kidney transplant. It seems you suffer everyday and things just get harder for you - yet you just keep plodding along and looking after other people without complaint - you are such a champion

This waiting list for a kidney transplant - is this because of the rarity of spare kidneys - I am a registered organ donor myself but because of the medication I am cutting back on I don't think I would be considered as a living donor - but then - I haven't looked into live-donors much at all - but you have to be pretty lucky for a registered donor to be in the right place at the right time for the donation to take place and this doesn't often happen

I really admire the way you keep on keeping on - not much choice I guess - you care for your Mum and Mr Shaz and this has to be a lot. I am glad you are your Mum's registered carer now - this must help a little

So your Mum is home with a broken hip I gather - that can't be easy - is anyone helping with her showers etc - and also bowel obstructions - my mother had them - but because my mother and I were not each other's favourites I didn't hear much about it or have to help - but I gather it's pretty horrible - more hard work

And now it seems she is getting dementia - something I know more about - family stuff - it seems there is a phase when the person with it has a rough time but this passes and they don't know - it has to be hard on the whole family

And it's 10 weeks since the house fire - how fast that time went for me? It might be easier for you to live in your Mum's house so you can be aware of how she is but I am pretty sure Mr Shaz isn't all that happy

And losing your home like that - that has to be among life's worst things

Sending my best thoughts though

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Ha ha yes @Former-Member

Just need to go nice and easy

My SIL is putting a lot of negative thinking in our brain , even this morning while we were sleeping in and she rang up to go do things in the yard

Glad Mr shaz said no

My darling can not cope with it all
