[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 194234, member: 1991"] Andy, your chicken recipe sounds interesting. I might investigate that further. I've got a kangaroo rump in the freezer, I was planning on using it in a stir-fry. It would do well with a good marinade. I've just been reading up on polymyalgia rheumatica. It's not looking positive. My pain levels have been escalating over the last few days, my mobility and neurological symptoms are also increasing. whatever this is, I think it's progressing much faster than my symptoms usually do. I got difficult child 3 to help me tonight with cooking - he was saying that he thought I was just making it up, just to make him do more work. I pointed out to him that I already do much more than my share of chores round the house, I don't need to make up anything to get others to pitch in. He did do his bit and was able to get back to his games when I said he would be able to, so he wasn't too frustrated. Later, I called him to the kitchen to get him to taste our stew and see what he thought about how it was going - what seasoning did he think it needed? I was happy with it, but I wanted him to feel involved, a fellow cook. Interesting - after I made my point, he didn't say another word about me 'making it up' about being in pain and not being able to use my arms and hands properly. It would have been so easy for me to yell at him - but I'm just too tired. I'm seeing my GP on Wednesday afternoon, on the way back from another study day for difficult child 3. I think in the meantime I'm going to have to make some enquiries about how to get access to an immunologist. Oh well... I guess it's better than being sent to a neurosurgeon for spinal fusion in my neck! As for the weddings - with the first one, all the invitations (first wave) have been sent out now. The cake has been ordered. We're needing swatches of fabric from the bride's top (currently being made) so we can get some fabric and organise the making of the skirt. Bridesmaids' dresses are still an issue, I'm going to have to sit down with the girls and see what we can organise. And it's time to go talk to the caterer about what she needs, to talk to the bloke doing the bouquets about what HE needs, and to talk to the person about the decorations - I don't need to exactly organise things, just to make sure that things are being organised, if you know what I mean. I think it's time for some lists and a time-line. I can do THAT without having to physically exert myself. The second wedding - the reception has been booked, so has the celebrant. The dress - still looking, but almost there. The bride needs to get her health checked out. The guest list - homework already done, thanks to the first wedding. The third wedding - dress chosen but not ordered, date set but no place booked (therefore date NOT set). I'm not rushing her. It's her life, her wedding. Frankly, the longer she takes, the happier I'll be. I think right now she's happy playing fantasy games. At times, VERY much a difficult child. Kids! Marg [/QUOTE]
