THE FUTURE IS ONE BIG CHALLENGE AFTER ANOTHER for 3Dogs and friends ..... PART 4

Aesop

Fab news that Alan is home. It is the best feeling sleeping in your own bed and eating your own food.

Take it easy Alan, and get well soon. Maybe the dogs will realise you are not well and be more caring.

That's exactly what he said after his sleep - nothing like your own bed :j :j

The reason he is worried about the dogs jumping on him is that Bess jumped on him in bed on Monday night and that is when the pain started :eek:

ah, but they say dogs are very sensitive to cancer and other ailments. Maybe this was Bess' way of telling him he needed to see the dr

Hope he ok and not in too much pain.

Hiya Angie - hope you are well?

I have been trying to sort out my shopping list for Mr T this weekend to use up a £5 off £40, get a good JTD, and get a petrol voucher, and so I have been catching up on the coupon thread which I have neglected lately - still not sorted my list yet though

Anyway, I guess I should get off to bed now. I am taking Linda to her mother's tomorrow at 12 noon as it's her Mum's birthday on Sunday, and want to be back before the night chill sets in. It is currently -9 outside here :eek: :eek: Gonna be icy out there tomorrow folks - take care

Night Night guys - sleep well - here's a little cutie for you

Everything was well and the weekend did start good but .................................................................... that soon changed

I took Linda over to her mother's and we were there about 2 hours and then called and did shopping at Morries on way back. It hasn't got above -8 or 9 all day and driving along the riverside A47 was spooky - with the river on one side and 'nothing' on the other side, just 'cloud' which was actually freezing fog which came across the road in places. Very spooky :eek:

When I was out, I got text from my sister asking when she could phone me, so I told her what I was doing and then texted her when I got home. Mam is not good The home had been trying to contact my sister and brother very early this morning and eventually got them about 8 am and they both had been down with mam since 9 am. When the carers checked Mam early this morning, on pulling back the sheets and removing her pad, she had lost loads of blood, through her bowels. They said it was enough to warrant a blood transfusion, if Mam hadn't been in end-of-life unit. Her blood pressure was understandably very low. They checked her later when my sis & bro were there and it was ok, so hoped it was a one off, but when they checked this afternoon, there were heavy blood clots of old and new blood. Mam has been talking and shouting, in fact it was very distressing to hear her yelling when I was talking to my sis on the phone. Sis texted about 10.40 pm to say they had both come home as mam was sleeping after nurse gave her an injection in her tummy to settle her, which only took about 15 minutes to work. They will ring if any change through the night, and sis will let me know

Anyway, after much discussion, and only after Mr 3Dogs insisted he would be ok, I have booked train ticket for tomorrow as I feel I must be up there with them and Mam. I checked with my friend for a lift to the station, but she could only take me after 2 pm so ended up with a first class ticket for £75+ just after 7 pm, as the only standard tickets available were for before 2 pm. It will be late when I get up there, almost 10 pm, but I will get something to eat on the way up and I will be there if anything happens. The cupboards, fridges and freezers are very well stocked with food and the dogs are still in the kennels, so Mr 3Dogs can just take it easy and slob about for a few days. He does have nurses appointment for Monday morning to get his wound checked but he says he will get the bus in if necessary - the bus stop is at the end of our street and he has his bus pass, plus the bus stops very close to the docs in town. If he is not up to it, or weather is bad, he will just have to ring them and ask them to visit him

So, I am up North again tomorrow to see how Mam is

Aesop

oh 3Dogs I am so sorry.

For you, your brother and sister, you are going to need loads of these



Shame I wasn't closer, I would check on Mr 3Dogs for you to make sure he is ok.

[Hugs] to both of you and your sis + bro.
