It's off ....the nail is off

Afternoon all

Hope you all have nice plans for the weekend, I have a lot of genealogy work to sort out.

I am a bit down this afternoon - no particular reason just seem fed up with everything at the moment.

Might be back on later, have a nice afternoon everyone.

Gill

hi carole,deanna ,gill,ann,jannet,kerry well everone hi i give up trying to rember all the names how you all doing today hope everyone having a nice day ,can i ask gp wanted to see me again today so i went and had anx attack while i was there he now put me on propanolol 40 mg along side cilitrapram and diazipam im frightend to take propanolol is that silly of me xxelaine xx

Eline, I know nothing about that drug but why are you frightened? Do you know something about it or is it just because it is new. Do you trust your doctor? I hope somebody else can advise you on this.

Gill, strangely for me I also feel down today. Just notices another little spot on the scar has started to bleed a bit. wondering if i should stop taking the dissolvable aspirin. Had to stop it for the op but no advice to stop it since. getting really fed up now at the time it is taking, over 4 weeks now.

Elaine I had propanalol for anxiety and was on a lot of other medication, I think the 'fear' is having to take yet another medication. As with all medicine if it makes you ill or even more nervous after a few days stop the propanalol and see Dr.


Ann you shouldn't be taking aspirin with any kind of open wound. I would have another word with Dr if I were you - the last thing you want now is your holiday put back coz of this.

Sorry if I sound sharp - it's me mood, I do mean things in a caring way ladies I've just got the hump thats all.

Take care

Gill

Gill, you don't sound sharp. The thing is, I don't think the Dr considers it an open wound. It is like two tiny pimples on the wound I think they are called Keloids the second one has only just started to bleed a little bit. The thing is I have always been anti taking the aspirin because I didn't have it prescribed for a specific reason. it was when the gov brought out all these things for doctors to prescribe with targets that my Dr said (after he had told me my BP was excellent. 'i think we'll put you on aspirin.' I had not had a stroke and my BP is fine with the medication. seems strange to me that they pump us full of meds we may not need.

I have had 2 mini strokes and take aspirin when I remember it, as I told my Dr I am not a number for govt targets I am a person, Aspirin thins the blood I just thought with any weak tissue whether it is a wound or not aspirin could make it difficult to heal.

Take care Ann, It was just a thought.

Gill

gill, your thought only echoed my own and I think I will not take the aspirin at least for a few days.

Good afternoon i hope everyone had a good day...
We have all 5 children for the weekend, well 6 actually as daughter has her friend here as well so tonight its going to be takeaway i think...Fingers crossed its not raining tomorrow so they can all go to park and burn some energy off rather than on top of each other in doors all day...

Kerry

Afternoon Kerry....Had a good day thanx. Hope you have too n tonights not as bad as the imagination believes it will be...lol

Me n my ex had 7 daughters between us, we all lived together at first n it was a nightmare... Always arguements n fights but the love the unit had got us thro....we split up 12 years later tho!! When we first met their ages were 3 x 2yrs (I have twins) 1 x 3, 1 x 4 n 1 x 5. Then we had one between us a few years later. Was hard work but fun at times.

Hope the weather stays kind for you.....get the wine on chill now!!

You do have to at least TRY the pills the doctor gives you Kerry.

Deanna XX

Deanna, sounds like the iron tablets are 'happy pills'. Hope they work for Kerry in the same way.

Eileen, you had a lot of grief to deal with all at once no wonder it took you down. But sounds as if you have a lovely family to support you so i hope you can get comfort from them.

Please do continue to come and chat to us on here.

Just popping to say hi quickly, have to go to work in a few mo, also really down today, even when posting on Freecycle for some garden items such as perennials being divided, having been imaging how my blank slate of a garden would look if I act on my thoughts - once we get rid of the snow - another 4" last night, but seems to be melting quickly, temp above freezing point. I want some traditional British daffodil bulbs to plant this autumn.!!!!
Hugs to all, I am taking my meds and extra vitamin B6 and B12 but still feel just kind of worn out.
off to work, at home all w/e, hopefully I can pull myself up a bit.
Thanks Liz for the encouraging pm.
hugs
Mary

Big welcome to Eileen. Pleased you had the courage to join in with us all. I'm a bit worried that people need courage to join us though! Are we scarry? lol, Eileen what a horrible time you went through. My mum (also Eileen) brought me up in that stiff upper lip way, thats how she was expected to be by my dad. Now I don't talk to her about my depression she asks how I am very rarely, I just say I'm okay, cos she dosen't really listen to my answers. Hope you find us all supportful and understanding xxx

Some of the new people have escaped!! Search party will be out tonight if they do not register !!!

Love to you all xx
