I hope Mr S_A improves a bit today. I know he's a master pesterer but he's your pesterer and it can't be good seeing him so poorly. Fingers crossed that DD's scan means that her doctor can give her some answers and a treatment plan if it's needed.

Sorry I was really busy at work then I went straight to hospital to see DD.DD had an emergency op straight after the scan. They found the source of the bleeding, a blood vessel had ruptured between her pancreas and stomach wall. She’s awake and appears fine.Mr SA is causing the hospital some concern because his pneumonia isn’t shifting despite treatment. They are also concerned about his mobility and confusion. He rang earlier to ask what time I was visiting and I reminded him I was going to see DD and he said that was yesterday! Had to tell him it was still Thursday. He also said he’d been feeding the ducks out of the ward window 🤔
I’m absolutely shattered and really wish I didn’t have to visit Mr SA tomorrow but he’s expecting a fresh supply of lip balms. I’ve only been back from hospital 45 minutes.You should see the food menu for the hospital DD is in. Wow it’s like a restaurant menu Sri Lankan veg curry, Quorn lasagne, falafels, loads of veggie stuff 😋 Changed a fair bit since I was last in.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)10 -
What a day, @Sun_Addict. Glad to hear your daughter has finally got an answer about what was making her poorly, & has had it surgically fixed
Sorry to hear Mr SA isn't any better. It sounds as though it has really taken a hold, doesn't it? Hope he starts to pick up tomorrow.

Thank goodness they found thr cause of DDs problems. Hopefully she will be fine now. Wonder how the rupture was caused?
Mr SA sounds like when my mum was in hospital when her brain problems were discovered, she thought there were chicken coming in the window! But every time she got chest infections after that,which was often, she always got very confused. We used to wonder if it was the medication. Hopefully Mr SA will improve soon. Try & get a good night's rest. XMaking the debt go down and savings go up
