Welcome back. Have been wondering where you were

I have been MIA for some time now. A combination of depression and family/friend illness. Can't shake off the dark cloud but some days I manage to put the brolly up and ignore it. At end of January, the same day that myBig Sis went into hospital in North East for bowel cancer op, my dear friend Steve was admitted for emergency surgery and they found he had bowel cancer too and had developed sepsis after a blockage broke through, and he was operated on the next day. So both of them had bowel removed and stoma fitted. My sis needed further surgery after three days as fluid building up so they had to put a drain in (another hole near her bum :eek:) and she is still having trouble with that. Steve was in intensive care for 5 days or so the allowed home after 16 days overall, but had to be readmitted after a week or so as he had pnuemonia in one lung. But he receovered well from this and is doing better now

It's been such a worry with both of them like this, especially after Alan's terminal bowel cancer, but it helped both of them that I already knew so much about bowel cancer and stomas

So I have kept off here and facebook, hardly opening my laptop, for all this time. I've still kept busy with Romanian dogs and our local rescue, working in the charity shop etc. But rest of time I have been sleeping, which is my default state

But now it is time to get back here, to my 'home'

Many thanks for the messages, here and on FB. Sorry I didn't reply but that's what depression does to me, I withdraw

3 dogs sending you a big hug, and wishing your cloud would do one:cool: my mam had an ileostomy so hope your sis and friend have a great recovery. I understand your default and you need to do what ever it takes to cope

3dogs....fantastic to see you.

I had a feeling that black dog had been following you around:o

What a time you've had of it:o So sorry to hear about your family and friend woes. I hope treatment has advanced sufficiently to give them a really good outcome.

We've all thought about you often...you did a bloomin sterling job with that 342 gift list and may have disappeared before we all had a chance to thank you....but just to let you know that we think you are extra special:T:T:A

TrulyMadly

Forgot to mention that I got this last night. The price would have gone down further but I couldn't be bothered to hang around. I've got the perfect place to plant it too:)

TrulyMadly

Sorry to hear about your leg bubs:o

Like you, I'm still struggling with the lost hour:o

My sleep pattern is all over the place:o

You wouldn't believe that an hour could make such a difference:o

Just checked on Amex and there's an offer to spend £15 at Healthspan and get £5 back

Think it's vitamins and health foods etc

Looks like free delivery:)
