    Hi guys!
    Just want to wish everyone a good day and good luck for those with tests, appointments, interviews, treatment or meetings.:T :A I'll be thinking of you all.hug.gif


    I don't want to bring anyone down - heaven knows you all have enough to deal with! - but I wanted to let you know so that you didn't think I was ignoring you all or didn't care. That's why I didn't post it yesterday - and also I was trying to be practical and keeping busy.

    Early yesterday morning, my mum (who lives in sheltered housing now), had to pull the emergency cord and have the paramedics in because she couldn't breathe. That's why I was so late signing in yesterday. She said she'd wait until the gp came on duty and have a home visit from her.

    The dr said to my sister that the chest infection was still there. They have been treating her with antibiotics since January for this! Mum also has fluid in her lungs that can't be cured with her history, which means of course, that she's drowning. She's seen a gp over 8 times in 2 months, each one throwing antibiotics at her.

    The freakin' gp said we'll try her on these mega antibiotics for 3 days and if they don't work, they'll admit her to have some other one intravenously. There's only so many drugs Mum can tolerate because of her heart and other illnesses. It's likely to go to pneumonia and the inevitable.
    The gp was saying that basically all they can do is make mum comfortable. Even the oxygen isn't really helping now. It's not looking good for my mum.

    I'm going back up to mum's today - in about 15 mins - and will try and get her admitted - to hell with 3 days! And miracles happen right? She can't get meals or drinks herself and she was crying this morning because she couldn't even open the curtains.

    She feels all her dignity is gone and that it's all over and crying because she can't do things like opening the curtains, which is something we all take for granted. She's so tired.

    And I'm in tears - I'm trying to be the fluffy Tiffster you all know and hate,:D but it feels as though my world is falling apart.

    I'm sorry about that - enough self pity methinks.;)
    Just want to say I'll post when I can and that I'll leave the keys to the smartie cupboard with sazzy until later. And I've done an inventory sazzy!:D

    Tiffy hugs and love for everyone. Back when I can. Thinking of you all. hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiffxxx

    Tiff ((((((((((hug))))))))))) Just want to say we are all thinking of you.Hope you manage to get your mum admitted,maybe a specialist at the hospital will help.Post when you feel up to it i know how worried you must be.Also you are the last person to suffer from self pity! your mum is ill and you have every reason to be worried so no need at all to apolagise.

    hi all,
    seemed to have missed loads.

    tiff.....am thinking of you.best wishes and hope all is ok with your mum.now your on the caes they should be very worried as i dont think you are one to be trifled with. xx

    miro......please keep in touch.am one of the newbies and am really glad tiff brought us up to speed.most woman dont go for money/looks thing, personally a gsoh does it every time for me and think most women would agree.i believe that fete always sends the right person when you need them and maybe the times not here yet.maybe you still have "stuff" to work throu and if you found someone now, they wouldnt be who you should be with and bring you more baggage to sort,...so i think that as soon as you are concentrating on other things, miss right will pop into your life when you are least expecting her.anyway thats my op, fwiw,you sound like a great guy to me and i was alittle sad i was married, tbh,(god that last bit made me sound like a stalker, soz)...its my silver aniversary this year and hes got no money, etc so just shows you its personality that outlives looks.

    karrie....a belated birthday wish from me.better late........xx

    rbk.....you are sounding loads better since you came home and im so glad.

    gillette....good to hear from you.wondered where you had been.

    sassy....this smartie things are big responsibility but im sure youre the best one for the job.....xx

    tulip.....youre getting really organised lately, am jealous!!!

    take care all, ttfn
    love ilgd xx
    People bring great joy into our lives..some by arriving, others by leaving.im trying to be one of the former, so please bear with :)

    LOVE ME, LOVE MY NEWFOUNDLAND.:A
