AWAKE.........

Hi Dicha

Welcome back and I’m sorry to hear that you were so sick. No need to apologise for looking after yourself first and foremost. Sometimes you need to take a step back.

I’m glad to hear that you are feeling better and I hope you and all my lovely friends on this thread have a lovely Christmas.

Dear Dicha /Sally, so very sorry you’ve been so poorly, and please don’t apologise, we all need time out now and then, and sometimes when things go awry it all seems wrong to post about it on here. I’m so sorry, too, for the loss of a really good friend, I hope the people who have bought will become friends too. I can understand them wanting to move back with all that’s going on.

Big hugs, hope you’re improving lots xxx

Glad to hear it. Hang onto the positive. Had my MRI spine today. I don't really want any bad news before Christmas, hopefully it will be 2 wks before the result. Xx

Night night Fruit Loops, sleep well and stay safe, plenty of sleepy fairy dust for all who wish

hugs xxx

Good morning....

I think it is going to be nice but it is 0° at the moment so probanly cold.

 Dicha ...I hope you continue to feel better. Bronchitis is so debilitating.  No wonder you felt rough. I expect you were feeling a bit down too after the news of your friend leaving.....infections seem to sense that moment to move in......Your situation with friends has happened several times to me ...not 40 year friendships but some of ten or fifteen years have made the return to UK. Various reasons but the biggest is missing grandchildren followed by fear of needing long term medical care in a foreign language. As we don't have grandchildren and aren't phased by the excellent medical system....I don't think we will ever return. But having to make new friends at our age becomes increasingly difficult. Luckily we have good French neighbours and are accepted in our local town.

I am hoping to put up a few decorations today to join the tree photos but I have been trying to finish some knitted Christmas gifts for little girls we know. Two are done and I have one sleeve and two side seams left still to sew. Plus the market....don't you all love this time of year?

Take care. Sabrina22 .....try not to worry about the MRI. I did have to have an op on my back due to chemo shown on an MRI but I'm fine now and pleased I had it. I'll explain it if required another time. 

Thinking of everyone. I may not get back here for a day or two. Time isn't my own at the moment!

Thank you, fingers crossed eh! Acceptance is key to many things. We have lived in the same house for almost 20 yrs now. Moved to be near the services for our son. The longest I have lived anywhere. I did like moving around when I was younger. 

I am still struggling with the mess the NHS is in. No Fybogel for the foreseeable future, and the  wry expensive tablets I had to buy are not easy to use. Can’t get the dosage right, which means added bowel insecurity. Now there is a problem with my eye drops, and I’mback to the pharmacy again today. Then there was a problem sourcing the pads I have to wear daily. That isn’t NHS , it’ s just shortages . Husband is still waiting for an appt to remove the skin cancer on his leg. He had a letter asking him to phone the booking line. He has left a message several times, no joy! Also he is waiting for further investigations of haematuria. Everything stops for Christmas! I’m banking my head against a wall, and we’re going away on Friday  xxx

MRI results seem so often to take their time. It’s like a choice of bad options isn’t it Sabrina22 not knowing for potentially weeks, or the possibility of bad news quickly. I hope you get the best result and timescale possible for you. Sending love xx

I dread not being able to get my son's Epilepsy meds. He is brand sensitive. No wonder we are more anxious these days. Sometimes everything feels like a fight. 

I'm so tired with hormone blockers and waking in the night. I don't want to fight anymore just that people do what they are paid to do. I hope they find a source of what you need Seaspirit. I have taken fybogel at times, my Mother had Laxido which seemed quite effective. X

Supplies of meds seems so hit and miss these days, have written to my MP about the shortages of Letrozole but it seems to take 3 months for his underling to reply! And then it’s a ‘try another chemist’ reply as there ‘shouldn’t be any shortage’?!? I really hope you get it all sorted, seaspirit44 and Sabrina22  as it’s just not fair!
