  • Still getting sh£te from my thread - you MUST know I'm a good mum and will do anything for my daughter! Even if you don't I AM. How do I delete the thread? I can't just ignore it, wish I could. I LOVE my daughter with all my heart and will help her all I can as will my DH, we love all my three and would do anything for them, why are they so horrible? Please PenPen - please tell me how to do it. I know I should just ignore but can't - will NEVER venture out of fly ladies again


    Could you just click on edit and delete it all? Not sure sorry am new but it might remove what you have put even if it just leaves a blank post:grouphug:

    I have taken delivery of a wheelchair this morning :eek: I am trying to look on it as a positive move because I am finding it increasingly difficult to get out & about with a stick :o but it still feels like another step to losing my independence :confused: :sad: God.....I really hate cancer sometimes........sorry don't mean to complain but feeling quite down at the moment :sad:
    Back later, love to all xx

    See this is why we are here so you can chat and vent your frustrations.
    You are much better off being able to get out of the house be it walking , being pushed or being dragged kicking and screaming. Don't class it as a step closer to losing your independance look at it as being a step closer to the togetherness you can share with whoever happens to be pushing you xx
    You can have the chair and if you feel like walking you can then use the chair to support you.

    You are a fabulous Lady and i am sure there are lots of people who would love the chance to be able to 'push you around' (lol) i know i would help out if i lied closer xx
    Hugs hun xx

    Carslberggal - I am sure you are a fantastic mum and will be a super Gran. Things are early days and you all have pleanty of time to adjust, in my opinion thats just another reason it takes 40 weeks to give you time to get ready, plan and prepare. Don't worry about the other thread please you will all be fine. Enjoy this and don't let anything or anyone ruin it for you xx

    Carlsberg - ignore them. You're trying to do your best for your DD, and if they aren't offering helpful advice, then don't bother with it. Take on board the helpful suggestions, as there are some. Although your DD may not be able to take it all on board now, at least you can be prepared. I thought some of the comments about checking re. university funding were very sensible, and possibly not things you'd have thought to look into at this stage. Once your DD has got her head round the situation and is reassured by the way you're supporting her, things may change anyway - she's a very lucky girl. I hope you feel better soon - I'm sure all the stress can't have helped.

    As you can see I didn't get to bed early, but I did manage to get some work stuff done, and tick a few boxes on my training plan (I'm trying to keep several weeks ahead of schedule on the basis that once I start being more productive I'll probably forget about it!).

    So I'm just making my last hot water bottle and then I'll be off...
