    Oh pipkin, stay strong.

    Eat well and make sensible choices about what you do: staying strong enough for surgery sounds like it must be your priority.

    I'm so sorry I missed the fun of the hamper opening WaS but I'm so glad you liked your gifts. It sounded like such a fun thread on the day and jm was wonderful in organising everything.

    You are very much loved here and your happiness reverberated around the thread :)

    Thank you.

    They have given me a date of 15/01/15 for surgery but the consultants are not in agreement as one would like it done before then but I am still fighting infection so the other thinks it's better to wait.

    My appetite isn't very good but the dietician came and spoke to me yesterday before discharge and I have to try five or six small meals each day rather than larger meals.

    I'm still on antibiotics and have to take anti sickness pills otherwise I'm still vomiting and that puts me off my food. I don't think I've felt this low in a long time :(

    Oh Pipkin :( Loads of hugs ((((((((Pipkin)))))))) - it's lovely to have you back, but we are hoping you will leave us (briefly!) very soon for your operation. Take whatever strength you can from the thread - we are all sending you blue healing light and positive vibes xxxxxxxx

    We missed you at the hamper opening, too. But it's lovely to read back on!

    7DW, thank you for posting the netiquette, but your penguin is flaunting himself! :rotfl: Ideally this bit needs to be in white writing -oooo, and I have just found a typo! All my fault. CBT should read CBP.

    (Should be in white)

    I'll change the typo on the original, JM. Didn't realise it was a typo!
    Also, I was wondering about amending the bits about leaving an hour before posting a penguin, as it seems a bit long-winded? It might all sound too involved and put people off?
    What do people think?

    I'm sure we can forgive the odd faux pas made by a new poster!


    7DW, I attempt to repost the etiquette about every 10 pages or so, although sometimes it's a bit longer than 10, depending on circumstances. Any less than that and I think it'd become a bit onerous! :o. It was only 7 pages this time!

    I've also been trying to avoid posting it when there are delurkers or new posters, as it seems a bit pointed! :o

    Pyxis, I thought I was being helpful posting it. Sorry if I have jumped the gun :(

  • Hope your health recovers soon Pipkin, it must be awful to feel so bad. :( Thinking of you today xxxx

    Welcome back pipkin. Hope your strength builds up soon, and people still help you all even though you're currently home.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    No no! It's ok! No probs! :A It's just that there have been several times when the 10th page arrived and there were new posters or delurkers and I postponed the repost in case they thought I was directing it at them!
    There's no right or wrong way, I just thought I'd explain my thinking process, weird though it be!:D


    Actually, Divorced_Daddy, it would be useful if, as a new poster, you give your views on the thread etiquette, and what impressions you get from it!



    Pipkin! Glad you're back! I was a bit worried! Sorry you've had a rough time. :( Will you have help over the Christmas period?

    I meant to post these pics two pages back with my post, but Photobucket collapsed on me! So I thought I'd post them anyway!
