GooD Morning

Annie

I hope the hassle sorts itself Jan, enjoy the coffee.

The Gods smiled on us on Sunday, sunny for the garden open day, the rain held of till late evening, we had nearly a hundred visitors and raised nearly five hundred pounds for charity.

Pam one of the first visitors was from Derby, a long way from home,

Annie

Good evening everyone.

Hasn't it been beautiful today and warm too.

Sounds like a day full of stress for you Jan, I hope all goes well on the day though.

Still having problems with the internet here but hoping for resolution soon.

Well done to all for raising all that money on Sunday Annie, it sounds like it was a good day for all.

Have a nice evening everyone. xx

pixie

Good morning everyone.

It's wet here but still warm thankfully.

Not a good start to the day. The kettle wouldn't work so boil in the pan cuppa this morning. Never tastes the same does it.

The cat had been ill everywhere and when I turned my PC on the alalrm sounded.

I hope that's my 3 for now.

Have a good day everyone.

MackenzyJan · GooD Morning

I think this morning that we should think of the tragedy of the Mum of the handicapped boy called Jamie. She was found dead yesterday and she must have been so in a state to do that. As yet Jamie is still missing. What a tragedy for the family. My prayers are with them for sure.

Wet and today is the launch and so at least it will be done with soon. Just tried about three outfits on that I thought of wearing and all are pulling on me. I am sick tired and fed up of this weight. Putting an old faithful outfit on but ashamed of myself and must do something about it now.

Have a nice day everyone and Pixie I hope that your luck gets better as the day goes on.

Jan

pixie

I have been thinking about her and Jamie.

I really hope they find him safe and well and I hate to be negative but I am not feeling very positive about this.

As for losing weight, I am supposed to be trying to diet too but not getting very far at the moment. I'm hoping with the nicer weather and more salads and fruit that I will make some progress.

Good luck to you and hubby for the launch, the sun is coming out so I hope that is a good sign.

Annie

The suns out here after a very wet morning.
Good luck Jan and hubby.
Hope things have improved Pixie, like you I am not too hopeful about the fate of that lad but we can only pray that he is safe somewhere.
Annie

pixie

Sadly he has been found but not alive.

It's very strange as 2 people have been arrested over his murder!

My thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP Jamie and Heather.

Annie

I was very sorry when I heard the news tonight, I hope he didnt suffer too much, as you say Pixie Rest in Peace,
Annie

pixie

Damp and dark here today but I've only got the weekly shop to do today
so not too much outdoor needed.

I hope you all have a good day. It's nearly the weekend.

Speeds

Morning all. Off to meet Sarah for our weekly coffee and natter (moan and puting the world right)

My little rant is:

JMVHO - when the mum and her (disabled) son went missing - everyone jumped on the carers can't cope bandwagon. It looks like there was foul play.

Now I don't know what I want to say but while I am very sad taht they have died - I am (pleased - wrong word I know) that it was foul play and not suicide.

I totally know that carers are driven to do some very sad things but most of us aren't. I wish we could persuade government etc to be fair to us.

Stopping writing as words are failing me and I am gettingmyself and my feelings in knots.

MackenzyJan · Good Morning

Hi All,

Very strange that two people have been arrested in connection with Jamie's death. Likewise I hope Mum and Son are now at rest. For the rest of the family it must be a horrible time just now. What a tragedy.

This weather is strange it was really sunny yesterday afternoon and now this morning it is really miserable again. Never mind it is stay in and watch television type of day. When it is sunny you feel that you should be out in the garden weeding or something so this weather has advantages. ha ha.

Thanks for your concern friends and the car launch went well. Few hiccups that the normal punters did not hear about. Got tv local coverage and top motoring journalists came and so that is that. Until the next time as they say.

Hope you all have a good day and no major problems for anyone.

from Jan

MackenzyJan · Good Morning

I agree wilth what you are saying Speeds. People often assume wrongly that carers do the job under sufferance. Most LOVE the person or people that they are caring for and would die for them if they had to. The job is one of the hardest in the world but without love in this world it would be an even more horrible place than it is at times.

Carers would not be stressed as much as they are if the Government put more resources into care packages and less into stupid schemes that they waste money on.

Hope the disabled tag is not wrongly assumed to be the reason this tragedy happened.

Annie

Fine now after lots of rain.

Speeds I guess we all know how you feel, when my daughter died somebody described her as a huge burden but as I pointed out, most of us look after our disabled loved ones because we love them and we do it willingly. When we do something from choice it can be a burden in the practical and sometimes emotional sense but I doubt most of us either see it or feel that way about it. I do know that I gained far more from my daughter than I ever gave back.

Actually Speeds I would say that I had more hassle from the so called experts and outsiders than I ever had from my daughter. I bet there are lots of people her that would agree with that. A good dose of common sense wouldn't come amiss from the people who deal with care packages and support.

We dont yet know the full story behind this tragedy but lets hope the disabled aspect doen't take to much prominence over a criminal act,

Annie

Speeds

Thanks Jan and Annie - far more eloquently put than me.

charles47

Most carers I know - parents or otherwise - say that the person they care for is far less hassle than the authorities they have to deal with.

Have just had a few interesting days on that subject at home, as well as at work!

pixie

Good morning everyone.

What a lovely day it is today. The washings on and the heating will be going off soon. I hope it stays like this for a few days.

I hope everyone has a good day. xx

Annie

Lovely day here too so far.

Well said Charles. In my time I have contemplated every thing from petrol bombs to in one case a kick in the unmentionables, sadly didn,t go ahead with any of them, I hope that things are sorted for you now

Annie

Speeds

Afternoon all

Just been for coffee with a friend - who is very poorly at the mo - she has just gone off to see the consultant at hosp this lunchtime.

Now off to vet a home for Labrador Rescue to see if they are suitable for a rescue lab.

Then back for Sharing assembly - another Whole School assembly.

Then dogs out with Thomas

Then dinner

Then bed I guess

House work has to wait

Have a fun day everyone

MackenzyJan · Good Morning

HELLO ALL,

Weekend again and the forecast is good but not so sure yet here.

My friend has a Downs daughter and she is nine years old. Kathleen has a French Mum and English Dad and she speaks both languages and swops from one to the other with no problems. They have lived in the Middle and Far East and India and are now back in Surrey. Kathleen has coped quite well with all the moves. I think that is wonderful but it is in the most part because her Mum Denise has loved and helped her to improve herself since the day that she was born. I am sure that love has a lot to do with how these children get on in life.

My eldest grandson is the same age and has french lessons at school and he struggles to say a few sentences and is considered a bright lad!!!!!!!!!

My little point for the weekend.

Speeds I hope your friend had some better news on her health at the Consultation.

Have a lovely weekend all of you.

Annie

Lovely day here, I might regret it though as I spent most of it sorting the garden, aches tomorrow I suspect.

Jan I have known lots of very talented people with Downs and other learning disabilities, over the years I have seen some remarkable achievements, right conditions and right support andall people can reach their true potential,
Annie

pixie

It's horrible out there today. Despite the weather my daughter has still gone mountain biking in North Wales.

I'm not looking forward to all the muddy washing she will be bringing back later.

Have a good Sunday everyone. xx

MackenzyJan · Good Afternoon

Hi All,

Can you please pray today for Daniel who is 18 years old and our daughter's nephew. He was set upon over the weekend and beaten up very badly and he is in intensive care at present on a ventilator.

Thanks all, enjoy your weekend.

Jan

pixie

Jan, many prayers coming your way for Daniel and all the family.

I did see the news about it and hoped the young man would be OK.

It makes no sense to me all this violence and younsters setting upon each other.

Please send our prayers to Daniel. We will be thinking of him and hoping for his recovery. xx

MackenzyJan · Good Afternoon

Thanks Pixie. I know that Daniel and his brother James are no angels but underneath are good kids. Elaine his Gran works on the intensive care unit as a domestic and it will be horrid for her tomorrow to work on the ward. She has been in to visit and the staff had to lead her out since she was distraught when she saw Daniel.

Elaine is not good with her nerves to start off with. She is such a kind person and accepted our daughter Vicky into their family when she married Barry her son and knowing Vicky had health problems did not faze her one bit.

Young ones just seem to accept this awful behavour these days as the norm.

Annie

Sorry to hear your news Jan, of course we will pray for him,
Annie

Speeds

So sorry to be reading your news Jan. Thinking of you all and Get Well Soon Daniel.

pixie

Another wet morning here. I hope it's better where you are.

Thinking of Daniel today and hoping that there is some improvement in his condition.

MackenzyJan · GOOD MORNING

Thanks again Pixie and all for your kind thoughts.

It is our daughter Vicky's birthday today she is 34 and she says that her best present would be for Daniel to be able to wish her a "happy birthday." He has always been very nice to Vicky and supportive of her.

Yesterday he was still heavily sedated and was having some trouble with breathing but he is said to be stable and improving slightly.

You all do your best to have a good day. Thanks friends.

Jan

pixie

Happy birthday to Vicky, she is the same age as my eldest daughter.

I'm pleased to hear there is some improvement in Daniel's condition. I will be thinking and praying for his recovery.

pixie

Good morning everyone on this bright and sunny day.

I hope everyone is well and that Daniel's condition continues to improve.

Have a good day everyone.

MackenzyJan · GOOD MORNING

Hi All,

The day is sunny and brighter here today and so hope everyone feels a little brighter when the weather seems better. I know that I do.

No change in Daniel but he is being kept heavily sedated for four or five days to try to allow his body to recover a little from the horrendous kicking and beating that they gave him. Still in intensive care and still critical as yet. Elaine hlis Gran is not allowed to work whilst he is in but she is in such a state that she cannot even think straight just now.

You all enjoy every moment because we never know what is around the corner.

Jan

Speeds

Hi everyone.

Jan - sorry to hear that Daniel has not shown signs of improvement. The sedation is good because it really does allow the body to recover. If it is any consolation my friends nephew was knocked over and had horrific injuries and he is now back at home. He was sedated for a couple of weeks before the doctors felt that he would cope with coming round.

Sad news here too - Dom's dad is in hospital with a suspected stroke. Dom spoke to him and his partner yesterday briefly. They are in New York or may be New Jersey hospital - he lives out there. Dom said his dad's speech was very clurred and did not sound like his dad.

My agility lesson was cancelled this morning so I have just done a megga walk with the dogs inthe woods.

Hope everyone has a lovely day despite the showers

MackenzyJan · GOOD MORNING

Hi Speeds,

Hope that Dom's Dad is soon on the road to recovery from his stroke. I am sure that in the USA they have excellent care as long as their health insurance is in place. Thinking of you.

I am sure that you enjoyed your walk with the dogs. Think I may have a walk this afternoon as well if the weather keeps good.

Try to keep smiling folks.

Jan

pam

Hello all.
I have been a little busy just lately so not been around much.
So sorry to hear of first Jan's sad news then speeds I do hope all turns out well for you all. Hugs and xxx.
I have some bad news too although not as serious as Jan and speeds.
My daughter and her fiancee have split up 2 weeks ago and she is in 'bits'.
It came as such a shock to both families.
We have booked a little break in York for the end of May and tomorrow Nad is to go and have her hair re-styled and streaked - only small things but they are a welcome distraction for her at the moment.
Apart from that it seems to be warming up outside folks - so lets hope it stays with us. Pam

Annie

Sorry to hear Daniel is still so ill also about Doms Dad and Nad and her boyfriend, you never know what is going to happen, thinking about all of them and wishing them all well.
Rain here after escaping most of the bad weather but at least I wont have to water my plants,
Annie

pixie

Sorry to hear such bad news all round today.

I hope Daniel and Doms Dad make some improvements soon and that Nad will cope with splitting up with her fiancee.

Even the sun has gone in here now but I must go out and try to get the weekly shop done even though I feel really unhappy for everyone with such difficult things to deal with.

I am thinking of you all today and I will say some prayers for things to improve for everyone. xx

pixie

Good morning all.

It's wet again today. I hope the sun is shinning for someone today.

Jan the update I read says Daniel is now stable but still critical. I hope the family are managing to cope with such a lot of worry.

Speeds, I hope Dom's Dad is doing OK. It can be a long road but it sounds like he had the same type as my mother in law and she is doing really well now.

I hope everyone's day is a manageable one. xx

MackenzyJan · GOOD MORNING

Well I hope everyone has a decent day today and some brighter news for us all.

Sorry Pam to hear of your daughter splitting with her boyfriend but if they are right for each other they make get back together and if not then better to find out now than later in the relationship. Still my thoughts are with you and her as you come to terms with the situation.

Hope Dom's Dad is making a slow but sure recovery and Dom is coping with the worry and being so far away as well.

Our Vicky just dropped her sons off for me to take them to school and she says that the hospital may try to slowly waken Daniel up today.
So let us hope that he begins his slow start to recovery as each day passes.

Thank goodness we have each other to chat to and can support each other. That alone is worth realising that there is a lot of good still in this troubled world we live in.

Jan

Damp day here in Derbyshire - fingers crossed everyone has better news soon. Pam xx

Good afternoon all. Not a bad day here.
I have had my first stint in the gym today. Had my induction on tuesday I think it was sooooooo trotted off to make a start. It must be 9 yrs since I last went - had to stop because of a leg injury - nothing to do with the gym. It was the silliest thing ever really. I was just sat on the sofa with my legs under me and when i got up my right leg hurt a little.It got so bad I was in tears and needed a car to take me to the doctors which is only 10 mins walk away. To cut a long story short after xrays I ended up have acupuncture. It did the trick to a certain extent but i still have probs occassionally. Anyway I did an hr today only tread mill, bike, and a couple of leg/arm machines. So nice and gentle folks. Gooing again tomorrow hopefully. Pam

MackenzyJan · Good Afternoon

Well done Pam and give yourself a pat on the back and keep it up. I go to aqua aerobics once a week but am ashamed to say that I have not been to the gym for weeks and paid my membership so what a waste. Perhaps I will go tomorrow now you have put me in the mind.

Hope everyone is having a good day. Chilly here but sunny just now.

Watched the programme on Madeliene last evening and I felt so sorry for Gerry and Kate. I wish they could have some sort of news. I do not feel that they had anything to do with the event at all but my daughter is not convinced of that and so we agree to differ.

Jan

Hello everyone from the sun, no rain, no hail, no sun, no hail Crowthorne place

I am waiting for my third bad thing to happen today

1. Chair leg snapped off my computer chair this morning
2. Got to agility and it was cancelled - Dave had never even received my email to say I was coming in the first place

3 ????????????

Dom's dad is improving although we did not hear any news yesterday

Thomas is off to stay at Nanny's tonight so that Dom and I can see the accountant in peace

I did not go online yesterday and now the house sparkles.

Hope everyone is keeping well and that Daniel is improving.

Pixie - how is your daughter coping?

pixie

Afternoon all. I forgot to post a good morning today so I'll post now instead.

I'm pleased to hear Dom's Dad is improving.

Lets hope there's not a number 3 Speeds.

My daughter is doing OK yes. She didn't go for the other job afterall, I guess she didn't feel ready yet.

I hope Daniel's improvement is continuing well. Let us know how things go for both Daniel and Dom's Dad.

It's lovely here now and hubby is off out to cut the grass in a bit.

Enjoy your film Speeds and I hope eveyone has a good day.

Aww Pam - run a long hot radox bath - ENJOY.

It's beautifult today, got my washing on already.

Starting to feel like spring cleaning now noticing all the dust when the sun comes out.

I hope everyone has a good day.

MackenzyJan · GOOD MORNING

Hi All,

Pam hope you are feeling not too sore and off you go to the gym again. I feel tired because I have pernicious anaemia and so I might not bother today. (Another excuse I suppose)

The hospital tried to wake Daniel yesterday but our Vicky said that he was so agitated that they had to put him back into the induced coma. She told me that Barry her husband could see the indentation in his head where the brick had hit him so hard. Some gang warfare so the police are saying but what a mess that our youngsters are almost killing each other. I am afraid for our grandchildren when they reach the teens.

Hope Dom's Dad is a little better.

Have a good day and a good bank holiday weekend as well.

pam

Yes I made it to the gym did an hour then straight off to shop for my parents when all I wanted was a shower! Ahh well - all fresh now though.
Ann -
Sorry to hear Daniel couldn't cope with being woken - maybe in a few days time?
Also good wishes for Dom's dad to recover soon.
A lovely day hear hope it keeps it up for the weekend. Pam

Annie

Weather lovely down here in Kent so far, thinking about Daniel and Dom's Dad, wish them both better.
Well done Pam, think I will stick to my bike though,
Annie

pixie

I'm sorry to hear Daniel is not ready to wake up yet Jan. He must need some more time to heal.
I hope he will be ready to wake up soon. xx

I'm hoping that Dom's Dad will continue with progress and soon be more like his usual self. I know it can take a while.

Despite all the not so good things happening I hope everyone has a restful Bank Holiday weekend.

pixie

It's a beautiful day here and I've got some of my washing out already.

I hope the weekend is positive for you all, especially Daniel and Doms' Dad.

Annie

Lovely day here, spent most of it gardening and doing bits in the churchyard as hubby has a chest infection so probably stuck here for the weekend.
I hope Daniel is showing some progress abnd Dom's Dad continues to improve,
Annie

Hello everyone

Late in the day but we had a good one. Thomas had swimming and then a party to go to.

Dom's dad is off to rehab. he spoke to Dom and Thomas today.

Hope that Daniel is making a recovery.

Dom and I are being very childish tonight - we have Ice Cream Floats

MackenzyJan · GOOD MORNING

Hello everyone,

Well yesterday the weather was lovely and we had a walk up the pier and joined the day trippers and it was uplifting.

Today we did plan to go to Llandudno for the Victorian Festival but it is raining hard and so we hope to go tomorrow since the forecast is better for Monday.

Will have a day pottering around today and maybe even do some clearing of cupboards.

All for now folks and all have a restful and happy weekend.

pam

Good morning all - it's a bit dull here and I thought it had said it was going to be a lovely day I even had visions of sitting out in the garden later - I was intending to pop a bottle of wine in the fridge before we went out. (not home made

) Still might do that, we can always have a glass whilst watching TV - if there's anything on worth watching. Bye for now folks. Pam

pixie

Good afternoon everyone.

It's been wet here most of the day but very warm. I hope there's not going to be any thunder because it feels so close.

A busy day so far but I'm hoping for some relaxation later.

I hope your all having a good Sunday.

Speeds

Good evening all from me here at home
Now I have some time alone
To read the posts and reply to threads
Without a little man bugging my head

I'm sorry but we've had lots of sun
Hogged it South, we took and run
But now at twenty past eight o'clock
It seems that we have had our lot

For now a shower reigns supreme
Although slightly pathetic if you know what I mean
Dampened the paths and wet the lawn
So I bet the veggie will need water in the morn

Today Thomas had gymnastics, his second one
He really does find it so much fun
I must tell Marion to get Sophie here
And Rory too, for its quite clear

That we have a very special coach
Who locally someone did poach
who is very keen on special needs
And wants to have more of them in her team

£6 a session, for a good hour's fun
And some of it virtually one 2 one
Then home for lunch and out for a shop
That really was all we got

Tomorrow some chores and to find a new bed
Off to Reading I think we'll head
And then to our May Fair for the afternoon
Fun and games and I'm sure balloons

Dom's dad is now off in rehab
It seems his stroke was not too bad
And Daniel, how is he getting on
Do not be dismayed if he's sleeping this long

Our bodies need lots of time to recover
And rest and sleep are the best medicine to offer
But my thoughts are there for you who wait
Dreading and wondering of his fate

Make sure you rest and look after yourselves
When he is round, that is when he'll need help

pixie

Good morning all, what a beautiful day it is here.

Good to see your poems Speeds. I really don't know how you do it, they are so good.

Best wishes to everyone and hope you are all well and enjoying the long holiday weekend.

Speeds

Oh dear I was wrong
In what I said in my song
It is raining so hard today

We think that the fair
May be washed here and there
So we may not be able to play

Have a good day everyone
Have lots of fun
On a very wet Bank Holiday in May

We've off in a mo
To Camberley we'll go
To Dreams to see if there's offers today

Annie

Guess we have been luckier than some, two days of glorious sunshine, I hope you enjoyed your shop bought wine Pam,
Annie

Speeds

After the rain this morning til about 11 we had another fabby day too - we have had 3 sunny days

It's a lovely day out there. The washings on and the grass all mowed.

I hope it's a good day for everyone else too.

Speeds

Hello everyone
On this fine sunny morn
Well done Pixie
To have mown the lawn.

I've been to agility
Just Zola and me
Now I'm having brekkie
And my cup of tea

I think I'm teaching recorders
This afternoon
Got to be there for 1/2 past 2
Not a moment too soon

MackenzyJan · Good Afternoon

Hi All,

I am impressed with your poems Speeds.

We went to Llandudno on Monday and it was a lovely day and all the Victorian costumes looked very nice. Don't think I would have liked to be the laundry lady though in those days with all the intricate lace blouses and long dresses.

Today (Tuesday) I have had our Emily who is 5 and she has a chest infection. She had it last week and our Michelle took her to the Doctors and the Doc said that it would heal without antibiotics. Well it did get a bit better by weekend but yesterday she was as bad again and today she was not well enough to go to school. Poor thing she looks so weary. I have been reading stories all day and feel worn out from all the talking!!!!!!

Have a nice evening all.

Jan

charles47

I remember being on holiday in about 1985 at Llandudno. One day we went out along the pier only to find a sign saying "Blackpool Pier" and lots of people in late Victorian/Edwardian costume. Apparently the Beeb were filming for a period drama. Never did see it, but got some interesting photos!

pam

morning all what a beautiful day again - more curtains are coming down to be washed. Got a meeting at 10.30 then off to the gym -(yes again) got the gym bug now! lolol Pam

Good luck at the Gym Pam, I'm glad your enjoying it.

It's beautiful here again today too. It's lovely to get the washing out and dry, smelling fresh and looking clean.

I hope everyone has a lovely day.

MackenzyJan · GOOD Morning

Likewise will get some washing done today and I may just risk putting my fleece jumpers away now and making room in the wardrobe for some lighter t shirts. Surely it will not be cold enough now for thick sweaters to be worn.

Have an unplifting day everyone and enjoy the good weather.

Lovely day here today as well. I caught up with the washing yesterday so did a bit in the garden today,

It's much too nice to be indoors today.

I see that Daniel's condition has improved Jan, I'm made up that he's on the mend now and hope he has a full recovery very soon.

I hope you all enjoy the lovely sunshine today.

Speeds

Hello all, coffee's done
Had lunch already but have a rumbly tum
Trying to be good and not to snack
But somehow I don't have the knack

Enjoy the sun
Its lovely today
But I'm afraid I've heard
It is going away

Hope everyone's Thursday is good and fine
Happy and content, just like mine

MackenzyJan · Good Afternoon

Hi All,

Thanks Pixie for the good wishes and I will ask our Vicky tomorrow when we go out for a coffee how he really is now. Two days ago he was still poorly and was still on oxygen and not walking but they had sat him out at the side of the bed for an hour. Then Vicky sent a text last night to say the he had improved quite a lot yesterday. So any progress is good news. Thanks for everyones thoughts and prayers.

Beautiful day today here in Southport and a lovely sea breeze as well. Long may it last.

Know what you mean about the snacking Speeds. I find that the evening is my worst time and I should put a lock on the fridge and cupboards that will not open after 6.30pm and then I would stop picking.

Enjoy your day all.

Jan

Annie

Nice to hear Daniel is slowly improving Jan.

Lovely day here.

We have a very special wedding this weekend, it is very much on a budget but the lady in question was dying last year of kidney failure and about this time underwent a transplant, the real important thing is that she now has a future.

I hope the weather stays fine for her.

Great to hear Daniel is improving. It will be small steps but the fact that he is out of bed is fantastic

Hello All

No poem today I am afraid. Have an appiontment at Drs at 9.40 am as I have found another little lump in my boob and I have been getting more and more pain over the last few days. Today my whole left arm is numb. I had an op last year and a small pimple and a duct was removed. Not sure if this year I have not got a discharge as there is no where for it to come out

Sorry - bit graphic for the morning but sharing does help.

Will tell you the outcome later although I am pretty sure I will be referred to specialist. Will not do NHS route this time though - although service is very good they did nto listen and I had heaps of tests over 6 months that I did not need and in the end it was and I was operated for the exact thing I told them it was. That was after 3 consultants and several U/S and mamograms etc.

Annie

Speeds,
good luck with your doctors appointment, had similar problems a bout 18 months ago but it sounds as if our local N.H.S Tust is much more on the ball than yours, at least as far as the breast clinic is concerned, I will be thinking of you today,

Cloudy here but warm
Annie

pixie

Good luck with the appointment Speeds, I'll be thinking of you. xx

I had a lump removed many years ago now. Thankfully it was just a cyst but such a worry at the time.

Dull but warm here today but hoping to see some sun later.

Speeds

Hi All

Thanks for your good wishes.

I saw the doctor and I will have my referral again.

At least this time I knw to put my foot down when they do not find anything on mamogram.

Will keep you posted.

Am off for a sleep in a mo - I feel exhausted today for some reason.

MackenzyJan · Good Afternoon

Speeds you have a good rest and I do hope that the tests do not prove anything untoward for you. In my thoughts and prayers and also the family as you tread this route again.

Good news from us is that Daniel has made wonderful progress over the last three days and today they have allowed him to go home. Yes he has taken the wheelchair since he can only walk small steps and just a few at once but he is home. Still very confused and forgetful but his family will rally around him now to pull him on. Not eating much since he says it hurts to eat when it gets into his stomach but he is trying soups and smoothies. Two weeks from deaths door to this is fantastic progress. Thanks God and all who prayed and thought of him.

Jan

charles47

That's great news!

pixie

Wonderful news about Daniel. I hope he feels a little more comfortable now he's home and continues with his fantastic recovery.

Speeds I hope you feel better after your sleep. I think the heat makes us all feel tireder than usual but with stress added it makes it worse. xx

charles47

Speeds, you take care of yourself. And don't take no for an answer!

Take care Pam and love to you and your family and hope your Dad is soon on the mend again. Look after yourself as well remember.

All have a good day - I am off to aqua aerobics again today. Hope the pool water is warm since when the weather hots up they keep the pool cooler and I like it warm which is not perhaps the healthiest way but I am a wimp.

Love to all,
Jan

Good afternoon all. Thank you for your kind wishes. I collected my dad out of hospital this afternoon and took him home. He needs to return for a couple of days in about a months time. For now though he is just pleased to be home. Pam

Hi all,

What a fantastic day we have had the weather has been lovely and I managed to get the curtains down, washed, ironed and put back.

Went for lunch with two ladies from another forum and we met for the first time and it was so nice to meet and chat together at last.

Glad to hear that your Dad is home Pam that is good news.

Hope Speeds is feeling OK and especially keeping her spirits up.

Pixies enjoy the weather whilst we have it.

Love from Jan

Good to hear your dad is home Pam, hope Speeds is feeling better, enjoy tomorrow as the forecast isn't so good for the rest of the week,

Good news about your Dad Pam.

I hope everyone else is also having good days.

The suns out again so I will be making the most of it today as the rain is supposed to be coming tonight and tomorrow.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi All,

Hope you all have a lovely day and enjoy the good weather whilst it lasts.

Thinking of you all.

My Grandson Luke is 11 today and so going to their house to see him at tea time. The years seem to be flying by and only looks like yesterday that we were waiting for news of him being born. It is my husband's birthday tomorrow and he wanted the baby born on his birthday but Luke was born just before midnight and so they have different birthdays.

Love from Jan

I hope your grandson had a lovely birthday Jan.

It was also my daughters birthday yesterday and she had a great day.

It's still nice and sunny here but a little cooler today.

Almost the weekend now and a holiday for the children.

Have a good day everyone.

Hello everybody from little ole me
I think I've got an attack of the threes
Tuesday Dom was ill with Diarrhoea
So agility was cancelled while poo I did clear

The yesterday to add to that
A speeding fine did drop on the mat
OK so I was wrong doing thirty five
But I was doing voluntary work, that's why I did drive

Then today its rained so the day is a drear
Then to add to it all the call I did fear
The ground is too slippy, its rainig dogs and cats
So agility is cancelled and that is that.
