Hello to Everyone
Would like to say many thanks to support that has been sent this week to me.
It has been one very busy and down week for me but well can now only go up now (better had).
Monday had to take hubby for his check up at hospital ( he got high cholesterol, blood pressure etc but genetic)which resulted in sort of good news that he does not need to go back to see specialist and just keep taking the meds (he has lots of bad reactions to most meds) as no more differentones can be given for him and he is as low on readings that can be possibly done now for him personally so to go and enjoy life and carry on as he may never have that fatal heart attack which is possible but also can do so at anytime.
Tuesday the new car we had recently got started having problems and now got to wait to see what can be done as garage very busy and cannot look at for another week or so.
Wednesday arrived and started feeling right lets get organised and be on the up but then daughter rang and had received a cancellation appointment for my grandaughter at Birmingham (been waiting for a while) to see consultant for results but it was for 9am Thursday morning so as no one else was available i volunteered to take her in son in law car.
Also my friend and neighbour was on a down day today as her hubby (he has cancer) is now not good and things are starting to change quite quickly now, so i am trying to support as much as possible.
Up very early Thursday morning and took my grandaughter to the hospital wher we now know that she is to have surgery after the new year in 2009 for her spine (needs to be rodded) so she will then not look like a camel anymore no humps!!! She is tall and thin anyway and doc said will add some more height to her, so better get me a ladder ready to be able to say hi to her. Came home very exhausted and went to bed for rest of day.
Today is Friday and i not dressed yet still exhausted from yesterday but determined that today i am going to be more positive about things once again as i have hospital appointment next week with my oncologist so need to be prepared (had to ring to arrange transport so i can go because of car not right)
Don't know what the weekend will bring yet but have decide it is going to be GOOD in whatever i decide to do!!!
Well thats enough of me for now

((((Hugs)))) to everyone
What a week, as you say! Sorry to hear about all the things going on all at the same time. I don't know why that happens: it's like they are magnetic and sometimes we just attract the lot. My partner's dad has had cholesterol problems, so they prescribed him Stattins. Then he started having problems with his legs, doctor said everything ok, but later a nurse realised that it was a form of neuropathy (same as we get with some chemos), and he had to stop taking them straight away - except the damage is irreversible. These wonder drugs are great for some people, and for others.... It sounds a very long op for your granddaughter to undergo. How old is she? It sounds like you are the pillar of strength for everyone around you. Sending you hugs, and loads of love xxxx Penny
Hi Rose - you've had a busy ole time of it this week and no mistake, so it's no wonder you feel tired!. Now it's time to be kind to your wee self by putting some of your needs before others, ok? You have an awful lot on your plate at the moment, but for your peace of mind and the well being of your body, please stop trying to administer to everyone's needs. I know, I know, it's what some of us are so used to doing, that it's hard to break the habit. I'm glad your husband has been given such positive news, and now with the weekend fast approaching, both of you take some time out and RELAX.
If you look at the screen NOW - I will attempt to hypnotise you, ok? Your eyes are tired, they feel so heavy and all you want to do is sleep, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz oops, where was I Rose, lol with lotsa love from kate xxxxx
hello texasrose,you do have alot to cope with at the moment,i know it must be worrying for you where your husband is concerned,your grand daughter,your niegbours husband and yourself.well i hope your husband stays well and is getting the best treatment he can get.i am worried about my dad at the moment with high blood pressure too.he actually collasped the other day and he has never done it before.but to have a grand daughter to go through such a big operation must be scarey too.you seem such a caring person thinking of your neigbour,but having been there and still there yourself it must be very hard not to think of him too.i hope you are feeling happier soon and can get your car sorted out quickly and at a reasonable price.it sounds like that although you have alot going on in your life you keep trying to pick yourself up and cope in the best way.well although under all that pressure you are doing well by the sounds of it and i just want to say i think that is a very gracious way to be and i hope you can keep it up.well done.love from sue xxxx
