Having a bad day

Hello ladies,

Having a wobble this morning.  Worrying about my sister.  She's going to have a colonoscopy on Sunday.  She's been having lots of stomach problems and losing weight - not a lot of weight but it's not like her. 

I asked the nurse for more antibiotics for mum yesterday and she said that she doesn't really want to keep giving them to her as her body will get used to them and then they'll be no good.  I understand what she's saying but at this point what's more important.  And it'll only be the second time she's had these particular ones. Mum has so much pain when she wee's, she groans and shouts; it's really awful to hear her like that.  I bought marshmallow root tablets because they are supposed to be good for water infections but not made any difference so far, although I only started her on them on Saturday. 

Hope you are all ok today. Glad your sister is doing more now maisiemae. Jenny, hope your knee is a bit better.  Sue I agree with maisiemae - you rock!

Hugs to everyone X

Maisiemae, sorry about your mum's dog.  It's heartbreaking, isn't it?  One of my dogs is quite old now (not sure how old as she's a rescue dog) and she's got so many things wrong with her. Most of the time she just plods about really slowly and sleeps and then now and again she goes mad and runs around like a puppy! She's a yorkie cross and looks like a teddy bear.  

Pressed send in error! Great you had sabbatical from work. Wish i could as thats a lot of the stress as i cant (own businesx and employ people). Makes me want to re-assess everything in life but my partner is very money focussed, and wAnts to kerp gping and im in the snow ball (and its getting bigger as am i!). Your parents are very lucky to have such a supportive and committed family. Im often reminded that in later years - not having any cubs, who will look after me. Will have to wait and see! Hugs and thoughts of better times although even the tough times are precious xx

I'm getting notification's again hooray!

Maisiemae your posts are both heartbreaking and made me laugh (the hair and the differing reasons for knots during our lives)...

The dogs sound lovely. Understand about your mum's dog. Very sad though. 

I have no children so when I reach this stage will not have any family around. ...must keep money for Switzerland. ...although you have to be OK enough to go. 

Elenium mum has had bladder infection and antibiotics too. Having problems taking 4 a day as can't keep 4th tablet down. Your poor mum. Gp advised mum lemon barley water keeps the stinging at a minimum. ..I'd got her cranberry juice but barley water worth a try. Know your mum's bladder issues different of course.   Mums infection is ecoli think from the recent explosive bowel events..we did our best but it was vile...

Sue commercial Christmas crap is so in your face isn't it? Your good memories with Alan are better than any present after all.

I finally got some presents as had weekend at mine...it was rather unfocused surreal shopping. ..

Any of you watched Miranda when it was on? It was funny but rather far fetched I thought. ..but this last week it seemed less so...

 ..on Friday I was cleaning up caught sight of myself in mirror...I had my bra hanging off my bum it was attached to my mobile phone in back pocket of my jeans hanging like a long tail...thankfully removed before carer arrived.   

On Saturday in the bank a young lady looked me full in the face and said Mr ...  continued to tell me about credit cards..MR!!!

I must check my moustache...

Mum coughing again...bucket time. .

Hello,

I hope you don't mind me jumping in on your posts.

Sorry to hear about your mum, have you tried cranberry juice as a drink for her?

It does sometimes help. It is quite a sharp drink so you could dilute it with a drop of warm water.

Hope this helps a bit. There are also cystitis relief sachets you can buy from the chemist but it sounds like your mum needs more than this, as you say.

Take care, big hug to you all.

Am hiding in the toilet sgain. They're all talking about Christmas...

Jenny I'm sorry the girl in the bank called you mr but it did make me laugh and I now feel I can go back in my office .

I really don't know what I'd do without you lot. :-)

Did the rampant cleaning thing yesterday before dads oncology appointment!

Same here, emotions flying, you know everyone reacting to it but you still react back, its proper crap I know.

Just stop, watch as much telly as long as you can in your PJ's (well not that long that you have to peel them off sofa) do it and don't feel guilty about it, cry as much as you want, it does help.

Staying strong is bloody tough but you can and will get through it, believe me you will.

Hi Maisiemae,

You know what? I DO, don't I !!!

Until this year I never knew I had it in me!! 

To all of you I Say, SODEMALL!!!

We can all rock this, we band of Sister Gladiators!!!
