Carole, hi lass and a happy birthday to you..would love to be a fly on the wall in your house right now...

you sitting covered in emulsion, house in a tip and surrounded by takeaway containers....seriously though your living room is going to look lovely once finished.. would you OH come and do mine for me..lol.

I could sing H B to you but reckon you live too far away to hear my dulcet tones.

Caz, my mate..............if I promise to let you off with playing the clown in our new production... will you promise me you will return home from hospital like, as now.!!

Let us know how you got on and if the doctors were cheeky to you...lol

Take care and love,

Happy Birthday Carole, why are you working at decorating on your b'day - a real present would be to have your family do it for you!!!!!!! You deserve to put your feet up.

Deanna I am so proud of you, doesn't it feel wonderful to have a bag to go out?? I actually feel myself smile now when I get rid of things, but I grin when I shred paper!!

Ann GG it's not bravery, it's healing, perhaps now something I've experienced can help someone else. I've had that happen,initially unintentionally, but very powerful. About 5 years after my infant son died, I was working at a hospital where their specialty was complex pregnancy, premie babes and gynae issues. A lady was admitted (very ill with septicaemia) whose baby daughter had died from the infection a few hours after birth. I said "I know how you feel", thus began a tirade from the distraught mother, that nobody could know how she felt. I quietly was able to share that I had walked the road, gave her some suggestions as to how to handle the fact that she couldn't attend the funeral, listened to her outpouring of feelings,wept with her.. Spent almost an hour listening and talking. It was a very draining day, but it gave me some healing, as I was now able to say that finally, from my own loss, something positive had happened, someone else had been helped. A year later when she came back to deliver a healthy baby, she looked me up, to say thank you. I had come full circle. I thanked her too.

YCaz - hope the doctors visit is productive - if you're not on here we'll send you remote healing thoughts, and please give up your career as a stunt person before becoming professional !!

Liz, be good to yourself.have a cuppa . . .

Irene, I've answered you on the other thread, please do what feels right to you and your OH.

I have to leave for work in 2 hours, I've been lazy all morning, now I'm off to water my plants and have my shower before work.
Hugs to all,

Hi All,
Sorry not been on here much, well I have but just reading usually. Since I came home from hospital I can't settle to anything, feel very tired and, although I should feel euphoric that the op is over, I am not. I feel quite the opposite. I know it is probably that the anaesthetic is still in my system so it will pass.

Meanwhile OH is being lovely, even bought me a bouquet of flowers and has stayed home with me in case I need him. Going up and down stairs I feel about 90. Have to go and see the nurse tomorrow to have the dressing changed, that will be a relief, lovely little oriental nurse at the hospital insisted on putting a plastic dressing over the ordinary one so I could have my shower (such a musical voice she had!) but it is a bit tight so it will benice to get it changed.


Anyway, happy birthday Carole,w hat a day to do decorating! Once remember laying marley tiles in our kitchen on our 1st wedding anniversary.

YCaz, hope you got on ok

Sorry, brain gone, can't remember any of the other news to comment on, hope you are all ok.

Hi Carolina and Deanna, love to you both,

C my lass of 5 is always complaining of tummy pains too, am taking her to docs tomoz. I hope your little grand daughter is ok,

Deanna, another thought, when I make a list (I know this is cheating) I always add something I've already done so it already looks like I'm making progress!!!!
sad I know, but facing a whole list is hard for me . . .

Colleen was down here a few minutes ago and I was grumbling that I don't like living in this mess. Her response was sensible, 'but Mum think of all you've cleared already and your stuff fits so much better in this house'. She's right but I am still looking at piles in spots, many less than there were, but . . . in the past I would have shoved it all under my bed, but now I want to clear it once and for all.
have a good evening all, I'm about to leave for work, it's absolutely frigid out there, I hate to think what it willl be like at midnight.
maxiMary

hello Ann hope you settle soon

hello Caz hope tomorrow is better for you.

(((((((((gentle hugs)))))))))) to all

Gill

Colleen..... I already do that...... ;-0)

I write my list with a job already done, then I put a TICK beside it.... so we are alike in that respect.

Caz, is it an excuse for a cuddle??

God night all, and I will see you tomorrow.

Deanna X

Depression is often the hidden illness, I felt so guilty that I couldn't cope. To me, I was a failure, without value; someone that no-one could want or love and drowning under the feeling of responsiblity for my sister( Mum's idea). Five years since the collapse at work, I'm much better due to therapy with a counsellor, drugs, Art classes & a husband who finds it hard but supports me 100%. Keep fighting. Margaret

Well, don't know what happened but I put a message on last night about 6 and it's not here???
I must have pressed preview instead of submit, stupid girl.
I got home about 5, the doctor had been waiting for me when I got there, and the nurses all knew what I had gone for, felt a celebrity. My feet were very red verging on purple and starting to swell by then, he said to stop taking tablets immediately, lol, I had only 5 to go to finish this course. Gave me some tablets to help ease them but doc said it would be uncomfortable for about a week. He is going to see me on Wednesday and see how I am and maybe postpone chemo for a little while, when I start again it will be a lower dose as I was on a very high one. They must have trying to blast the cancer into oblivion, but taking me with it as well. I feel awful now as this was the doctor I don't get on with, and can't stand.
Hubby is staying at home today so I can stay in bed with feet up.
Joyce, I will still be your clown but no make up, right? I think I would be the best for it as I have practiced an awful lot, shame to waste it lol, might even get famous, a 64 year old stuntswoman, yeh!
