Yes I recognise that if you’re on a PC you have much more screen real estate and therefore you don’t need to shut the post down. However if you’re on a mobile phone you also need working practises that make the user interface practical
Summer <–Spot the speech to text miss translation of “somewhere”!> on here there’s a post I wrote it used all the markdown syntax to see whether or not the edit_widget recognised everything and it doesn’t. It’s also difficult to find the documentation for most of this
And is exactly the same link again but not on a line of its own Minor forum updates - #9 by SimonInEdinburgh as you can see has formatting differently and here’s that link again
Which goes to show that there is a contextual interpretation of the formatting instructions as well - again if it’s documented I haven’t found it.
There is documentation and discourse Meta- [rant mode] which is the most intolerantly moderated forum I’ve ever seen [/rant mode]

Hi dj barker oh yes feeling down is quite normal . I’m now a year and a month post stroke and I still have my down days. I know I’m a lot luckier than some but that doesn’t always help although it probably should. Try to set yourself small goals ang reward yourself when you achieve them and please post them on here. People are so supportive even when you think what you’ve managed to do is very little. My mantra every new day is every day in every way I’m getting better and better. Forget the bad days and hold onto those successes even though they may seem tiny. Every recovery journey is different. Just try every day to achieve those goals. Lots of luck Suzywong x

Hi Suzy, thank you very much for your kind words. Sadly my companion dog contracted renal failure and as a result he crossed the rainbow bridge 3 months ago…i’m in pieces most every day since then.

Looks like he enjoyed snuggles
Have you thought about giving a rescue a forever home?
Thanks for sharing the picture brought a smile to my face

Hi Simon, Alfie was my almost constant companion for the best part of the 7 years I graced his life. A very special friend he was, not just a dog…
I have thought about rescuing an older dog at some point but I feel that I am not ready to seriously start the process yet…
Cheers, David

I can understand that
Everyone needs time
rescues sometimes have a grateful sense of thanks mixed into their characters

Oh how sad. I’m now on my fourth dog and I feel your pain . It’s always so horrible when they have to leave us ., it’s like losing someone very close in your family. Think of those happy times you shared and what a lovely life he had wx you and remember he wouldn’t want you to give up. My present dog is amazing. He knows to be careful around me and has given me so much love… if you could face it another dog may help you but only when you’re ready. Try to incorporate little things you would have done with him into your weekly challenges and remember he is still alive in your heart and your memories , none of which your stroke can take away from you. Much love and a big virtual hug, Suzywong xx

Hi, i took the plunge and joined Borrowmydoggy last week and only yesterday visited a lovely couple and their sweet yorkshire terrier bichon cross who apparently took a shine to me… i hope to be taking her out for walks some time soon…

I hope you have a beautiful relationship May it blossom over the coming weeks
And I hope that you find the capacity to give some rescue a forever home eventually because I truly believe that can mend two hearts
This fellow purrs loudly at 4:00 a.m. when he is soaking wet from the rain.
He adopted us some 10 years ago - we don’t know where from But When we took him to the vet for a check they found a lot of issues including an arguement with a car.
He’s repaid many times over the investment

That’s called cat distribution apparently. This guy had a cat show up and proceeded to have her babies under his bed…so he kept the lot. I there were 7 kittens in all
