WEDNESDAY 6th May (I think)

SunnyGirl

Just a quickie from me this morning. Things went wrong for my Dad yesterday & we're lucky he's still with us. During the angioplasty the catheter they used tore into one of his coronary arteries and caused a massive bleed. They managed to get it under control by pressing extremely hard on his chest & ribs, so the poor thing is black & blue this morning, and by putting an extra stent around the artery to seal it. He was admitted to Manchester Royal's coronary care unit for constant monitoring and echo cardigrams every 4 hours to check that the repair to the artery is holding. So far everything looks ok but we're all very shaken up obviously.

Mum went to pieces when the hospital rang with the news at 6pm last night so I'm trying to keep her going as well now.

(((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) to anyone who needs them xxx

Oh SunnyGirl, I'm so sorry. You're all in my prayers. Hopefully everything will be OK, but such a terrible worry for you all. Take care.

((hugs)) for anyone else who needs one.

Morning everyone - hope you're all well today?

The sun's shining here for just now, but the forecast's not that great, especially for tomorrow!

Sunnygirl - thinking of you & your mum and really hope that your Dad's okay.

I've not been around the last couple of days, so hope that everyone else is doing fine - if not, big hugs all round.

We had fish pie yesterday - I made three on Monday night. Two went into the freezer and the third was last night's tea. It'll be pasta tonight, as we're both out; I've got Choir practice and DH has got a meeting.

We had an MS Society Bake Day at work yesterday, so have raised over £70. Only 2 of us did any baking, so my chocolate brownies, banana muffins, fairy cakes and rocky road went down well

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone!

SunnyGirl - (((hugs))) sorry things didn't go well with your Dad yesterday - hope he improves today x

(((hugs))) to everyone else who needs one.

last day off before going back to work today. Plans are

Cleaning for Mum

Collect a rabbit run from freecycle for our ferret

usual laundry

SW tonight then watch the Apprentice.

Had a bit of chat with DS1 last night - I 'knew' as only a mother can that he was keeping something from us. He hasn't actually 'come out' yet but he has admitted to a boyfriend. He is 19. I'm not sure how I feel yet, a bit shocked I suppose but we'll be right behind him whatever he does. DH says it doesn't bother him at all - he's fine with it. This is when I really miss my mate Lesley - she's the one I would always turn to and who would always give me good advice and a listening ear.

anyway worse things happen at sea as they say:D

have a great day all x

Taplady You should be proud of yourself for knowing there was some "secret" and being able to have the conversation with your DS, proud of your OH for accepting it and proud of your DS for being able to talk to you. I hope I can react the same way if I have a similar conversation with either of my DS's :grouphug:

Morning all,

Well it's night here but hey ho. I'm rather full now. Just had tea & I was a piggy and went up for seconds. :rolleyes: Now I'm uncomfortable. It's also raining. Did some baking this morning and sewed a Morsbag. Also did some weeding later this arv before the rain set in. DGS up again tomorrow after lunch for the night. Last night was a slight improvement. He dreams & talks to himself which wakes me up.

I might tidy up our filing cabinet tomorrow morning if it's wet. It needs a good sorting out and shredding of old stuff.

Sunnygirl Sorry to hear that your Dad didn't do so well yesterday.
HariboWon't you start wearing DH out with all these early nights.
CM I hope Chelsea wins. I'm sure I'll hear your screams of delight if they do.
MeanMarie:mad:Men.
Taplady TBH I don't know how I would react first up. But well done you.

Enjoy your day. I'm off to have a shower and read a book. Don't know if anybody reads her books but I really recommend Nancy Geary. I'm reading Misfortune atm. It's a murder mystery. <hugs> to those not well. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Morning all,
Can't believe you were up at 4:30 Christsabell - or had you just not gone to bed yet? I almost can't get up before 7am, I have to Drive up to Aberdeen every Monday and get up at 5:30 - it takes me until Wednesday to recover!:rotfl:

SunnyGirl, thinking of you and your family, hope you are all ok.

Having chicken and potato curry this evening - potato is so yummy in curry and means I can use loads less chicken!

Watched Gok's Fashion Fix last night - I love that programme! I've decided to take inspiration from it and use my digital camera to photograph myself in each of my items of clothes and work out which ones I look good in and what goes together etc. The stuff I haven't worn in ages or doesn't fit I can either try to alter it with my new sewing machine, use the material to create something else or give it to the charity shop.

I've got so many old tops and things and my wardrobe needs some serious re-organising to I can find what I'm looking for. A job for the weekend.

Lovely and sunny here today, hope you all get some sun at some point today.
Jade

PS. Yay 100th post!

Taplady I know exactly how you feel, my son was about the same age when he told us he was gay. To be honest I'd suspected it for years so it wasn't a shock but I was still a bit shocked, if you know what I mean? Like you my OH was perfectly fine with it too, infact everyone was but I had the attitude that anyone who wasn't could get lost! Everyone loved him the day before he "came out" so why shouldn't they love him the day after, he's still the same lad?

One advantage of having a gay son is I get great fashion advice and lovely presents, it's like having my very own fairy Gokmother only nowhere near as camp!
