Bedside Manners

Well *Hello All again*, it's Anita Moorecock, the Mistress Borghese's Social Director. So far this week the Mistress seems to be on the mend, very slowly, although, truth be told I'm sure working more hours than suppose too, but is going right back to the Casa and relaxing and staying off her feet, and passing out early! Of course the Mistress has perfect bedside manners, so it no wonder she is recovering. She seems to have the perfect recipe.......


A well- appointed, comfy and smart boudoir........



the Mistress always slumbers in the perfect boudoir gown......



the perfect bedside tea..........



Her favorite houseboy, acting as the chamber maid's delight, has been by her side, taking care of each whim as it comes up........



And then there is the all important, just right mix of reading periodicals.......



When I checked in tonight the Mistress wasn't home yet, or she was off nursing one of her legendary hang overs.

A Monday Update

 
First, I'd like to thank  you all for your kind words and thoughtful comments last week! It really lightened my day and made me feel better, and for some of your phone calls and emails. It seemed like a long week. I was off work Wednesday and Thursday with the tests being done, and I don't think I ever had so many people looking at me undressed, not to mention pricked, pulled, shot, test run, and examined in all my life!!! The good news is I was never admitted to the hospital, and the blood test for the one where we thought the bacteria virus got in my blood stream came back negative! Turns out what is effecting me is post infectious arthritis, which some people can get on the heels of a viral or bacterial infection. While it is not painful, it does limit my movements and is uncomfortable to deal with. In most cases doctors like it to go away on it's own, which can go several days or weeks, in some cases several months, in which case then will be treated with intravenous antibiotics. After work, I have been told to relax and stay off my feet. I have also been given 600mg ibuprofen and some pain killers to ease the discomfort. Anyone who knows the Mistress is aware I can't swallow pills. And no other cracks need be said!!!! I would rather be making art work out of the damn things, like the Amy Winehouse portrait above or these pretty pictures.........


 
or I could just arranged them in a lovely candy dish for my dear Wally..............


The Lad stopped in with some, actually, all my market shopping, and stayed over Friday night, followed by some great take out on Saturday.Isn't that sweet of him? I guess I should really roll out the red carpet and treat him like royalty more! On the down side I didn't get to see the fabulous Bebe Neuwrith Saturday night, as I was too vain to be seen at my age hobbling about. Now, if only I had a regal cane, with decorative final,like the one Barnabas Collins has, well, that might have changed things!!!! Thanks again for your well wishes and I'm hoping to get back to blogging soon!

The REAL Barbie Dream House.........


 
***Hello all from the Mistress's Social Director, Anita Moorecock. The Mistress had a rough Friday, but seemed to be mending some over the weekend. I have checked in on her at the Casa du Borghese, where as guessed, the peacocks and houseboys were running amok! But the Mistress will be putting a post together for an update tomorrow. Trying to keep the gin away from her has been a full time job for all involved. On the down side though, I hear gin sales are down.

Under the Weather


To all my friends & lovely readers, The Mistress isn't up to snuff right now and under the weather. About two week ago I had a bladder infection from a bacterial infection I got from one of the many ethnic foods I enjoy so. And I was treated with antibiotics, but with a single dose. It seems the pesky devil clung on and entered by blood stream causing my joints all over to get uncomfortable and swell. At first we thought it was tendentious, but x-rays showed a negative. After several blood test, we found it was the same germ back again! So my health isn't doing as well as I have thought. I'm sure all the work hours last week didn't help either, and being on my feet 3/4 of the day is exhausting!!!! Once again I'm struggling to keep up with blogging & the Blog Sphere. but with my recent health issues, I simply have to take another break... my doctor says he will most likely need to admit me to the hospital to have antibiotics entered intravenously. Oh what fun! And that will clean all up. In the meantime I have been staying off my feet like these glamour queens........


At the moment receiving a clean bill of health from the doctors is my main priority. A Thank you for your understanding up front. Hope to be back here with more healthy and good spirits soon and of course more moments from the Casa, some candy and of course visual delights...

 
 
Well she hasn't got a gander of I yet..... Nurse Betty hasn't met me yet...... I just hope I don't shock her!
