    Evening all and welcome to our new friends, pull up a seat and enjoy one of the warmest threads on the site.

    Am so sorry that you are in so much pain and discomfort Fuddle, will add my candle to the ones already been lit tonight and invoke healing vibes for you, Polly and DD together with WCS and her DD, it seems we are all experiencing health problems at the moment or have loved ones who are.
    Just back from seeing Mum, the difficulty swallowing has meant she is now on soft foods only, we spoke to the GP today and he will call again on Wednesday to see if any further deterioration has taken place and a feeding tube is needed. Suspect if that is the case remaining at my DB's may be a problem but we will see. I am picking her up tomorrow to take her over the bungalow for a meeting with her Stoma nurse, it will also give us an opportunity to sort through her jewellery and box it up for her wished recipients. Another tough challenge but it's what she wants to do and that's what matters.
    Need to dish up our evening meal now so will sign off, take care and love to all xx

  • For everyone who needs them there are cuddles and smiles, there are soft spoken prayers for each one individually, there is love given freely and without end, there is support and strength and hope in limitless quantity and for endless time because we are all who we are and what we are and it strengthens these friendships and gladdens our hearts because we each give much more than we take. This is a GOOD place to be!

    Fuds just noticed I said oromorph instead of omoprozole ignore me . Too many meds and comparisons in my brain right now . My spelling and every thing has gone to pot over the last few days so I will log out and try to keep my eyes open to watch the victorian house .
    Wishing you all a peaceful night

  • Well I went for my GP appointment, he didn't know why I was there. I told him the receptionist said he wanted to see me.

    Anyway he was able to look at the results of the blood test I had done last week for the renal Consultant and evidently one of those was for the parathyroid gland. Something to do with too much calcium which could affect the kidneys, but he didn't tell me the results that is up to the Consultant.

    He did notice that I hadn't been tested for kidney function again, so I have to go up to the hospital in the morning to have that done so that it is on my records for next Tuesday when I see the Consultant.

    I could write a book:) Tune in next week for a further instalment.

    My GP tells me I look well, I tell him I feel well, we shall see.

    Lainey. I think your Mum will feel relief when she has sorted the jewellery out. I know you said you had bought little jewellery boxes for this reason, and how lovely for the ladies/girls to know Mum had chosen these particular pieces just for them.

    Now all you poorlies, I want you to go to bed tonight thinking lovely thoughts as you drift off. I wish I could get you altogether to give you a hug, but I can't so I send a virtual one.

    Sleep tight all

    Good evening everyone, sorry to hear of so many being under the weather. Lainey it is good your mum wants to sort things out, knowing her time on this earth is limited. I personally would not want to subject my mother to having a feeding tube inserted in those circumstances, but you and your family must do what you feel is right. May you continue to make happy memories with her in the time she has left.

    Fuddle sorry the full moon didn't work its magic for you straight away, but as the moon wanes you can focus on all the stresses and pains diminishing. The candles people are lighting for you should channel some healing vibes your way. This stuff may all sound a bit airy-fairy but you would be surprised at what can be achieved. Pneumonia can knock you bandy for weeks and months, so the more help the better!
    One life - your life - live it!

    Much love and hugs to you Fuddle and for your daughter Pollyanna xxx

    Not much to report from us, rode in on my bike again this morning and got 3 personal records on different sections of the route - I promise I am tkaing it carefully, must just be the luck of catching the traffic lights or not. Left my keys at work by accident yesterday so had to wait for half an hour of the lifts to open when I arrived this morning. I gave my bike a wash when I got home last night so at least it is now much less disgusting, espaecailly as it sits next to my desk during the day!

    I'm planning a long bike ride during my Christmas holidays - Auckland to Wellington which is 470 odd miles. I think it will take me about 4 1/2 days, and DH will meet me in Wellington, we'll have a day or so there and then come back up to Auckland on the train. DH thinks I'm nuts but doesn't really mind me doing it - I don't think! I have a long route planned around the South Island too, which I think will take 2-3 weeks. Haven't worked out the logistics of that yet. I would dearly love to set off on a long adventure but sadly I need to keep working.....

    Better get onto some work
