All about you ay FDSS, Rick is probably far more interested in having his mates and his girlfriend visit him rather than his old Auntie and yet everything is all on your terms...
and your not actually his mother, in fact most of this has been about you and your relationship with Rick, not about how his nearest and dearest are.

Saying 'dont worry i am qualified' suggested to me that your not.

How dare you come on here and sour this thread, if you don't agree with it's contents, don't read it!

Does it matter what relation she is too Rick? I would say no, go and read the whole thread and see that Rick has been close to her all his life. Regardless of this, is it morally wrong to take an interest in your relatives well being, is it wrong to try and do the right thing when everyone around you is finding it hard to come to terms to and saying things without realising the effect it could be having on Rick??

Also, this is FSDSS's thread, it is about her, she is not writing a journal on the whole experience and everyone involved, it is HER experience, HER views and HER way of dealing with this all!

Absolutely, cannot believe you have just left that post, the fact you have replied in such a sour manner, suggests to me that you have no 'real first hand experience of a loving family'. You seem very bitter and there is no need to express such views, that I am sure many will take offence too!:mad:

Sorry Grey Lady but I feel your nasty comments are totally uncalled for why conturibute to a thread just to be nasty .
fsdss doesn't need to explain her self to anyone she is a very caring aunty who is writting in words how she is feeling as it is helping her come to term with her nephews illness .I too was in intensive care after the birth of my dd and my family told I wasn't going to live .......everyone was there Aunts cousins my brother .phone calls from friends alover ther country .Now i can assure you that it does count to the person laying unconscious there . My brother who as kids we'd always fought was the one person I can credit with bringing me arround . All I remember is him begging me not to die and that he loved me (something I'd never heard him say ) to this day we are very close .
So please don't think family isn't important tey are as are friends .If you had been following this then you would know that Ricks friends were not allowed in due to the severity of his illness .

I was shocked to read grey lady's post and was unable to think of anything polite to say in response, so I said nothing at all.
I fully agree with what specialK and scooydo have written.
Without this thread I would not have had the motivation to go and give blood last Saturday for the first time in almost 8 years.

Fsdss has proven herself to be a wonderful,caring aunt to Rick and his sister and i'm sure Rick's parents fully appreciate everything that she does as she does it all, not for thanks, but out of the love she has for her nephew and his family.

Your comments suggest you have some personal issues that were triggered by fdss's last post. Well I am sorry if that is the case but this thread is not the place to vent your unhappiness at whatever it is that it brought up for you.

I don't think fdss should be your target.

Obviously, grey lady has not experienced having someone in hospital with a serious illness, no matter what relation they are. I know what FSDSS has been going through as I had a nephew in hospital a few years ago seriously ill, since then he has had numerous operations, including one on his brain, and he has to go in for another serious operation in February, so not just me, but my whole family will be worried sick.

Hi fsdss,
Just popping on to see how Rick is doing. It sounds like he has a rough road to walk in the next few months. I'm sure he will get there with all the wonderful support he is receiving.
Love and best wishes

I was very close to my late Aunt when I was younger & I take exception to what you have posted GreyLady (I know :rolleyes: I shouldnt feed the Trolls) - if I had been in Ricks situation I think I would have prefered my Aunt with me as seeing my Mum may even have been more painful - to see her so worried etc.
And yes now he's recovering :T he probabaly will want his friends etc thats only natural - but he hasnt been well enough for that yet. It was so touch & go that only family were allowed to his bed side! How awful that must have been for his friends & girlfriend, I dread to think but I'm am certain that FSDSS did think about it - why else would she have his friends number (or take the trouble to get it) to leave texts & messages wanting to take said friend to visit!

"I recently started taking starflower oil every day for the two weeks before my period as i read somewhere that it was good for PMS, and i was really really impressed,"


Grey Lady, I refer to your post of 04/01/08 (above) and recommend that you up your dose of starflower oil before posting on this thread again.

Actually I think his family will see lots of people jumping to Fsdss' defence & showing love & caring for her & Rick, not the single selfish post
