thank you

yes, she is eminently sensible, and says exactly what she thinks

I loved it when I had her as the surgeon 16 years ago, and was so glad when the GP said she was his surgeon of choice.


Do hope that your son finds a permanent job.

I do know some people who prefere temping ........ good pay, and opportunities to take time off if you want to. But most people like the security, and benefits, of a permanent one.


will keep fingers, toes, etc, crossed for him

So glad to see you back Sylvs and that things are going to move quickly. You know we are all here for you..........cos we loves ya! <3

Syl....this very week on BBC radio.

Scientists claimed that doing moderate exercise while undergoing cancer therapy increased recovery by about 50%

So...let’s have you out jogging....OK walking will do

You are very lucky Sylvia,

I was sent to see a surgeon about 10 years ago because of a problem with a stone in the salivary gland (obviously less severe than yours but excruciatingly painful and debilitating)

I had a recurrence of the problem several times and was sent back to see him - he told me off for wasting his time - I had not had the operation he offered and so I was a stupid woman who he was not prepared to help !

The operation he was offering was the removal of the salivary gland which was a major operation with a lot of risk involved.

If all went well, I would be left with a huge scar down in front of my ear, down my neck and across my throat and VERY probably a paralysis of that side of my face !!!

He was an extremely arrogant 'Bar Steward' who believed that he was 'God' !!!!!!

I did a lot of research and found a Specialist in London who would take a look at what was really going on - I went there - she did an investigation (can't remember what it was called but it involved putting a camera through into the gland to see what whas happening) - All was healthy and she cleared the 'stricture' (sticking together of the tube to the gland) and all I have had to do since is to manually press on the gland each morning to move the fluid through.

No Huge scars, paralysed face, or subsequent loss of confidence.

He could have ruined my life - I am just thankful I did not let him !

Your lovely surgeon sounds wonderful - you appear to be in very good hands.

how good that you refused that surgeon's treatment


I've met doctors like that ...... including the pediatrician who was called in at the last minute when I had to have a cesarean. He was the pits ........ believed that women knew nothing, could understand nothing. He gave the husbands all the information.

I was supposed to take J to see him 6 weeks after she was born. Instead I went to my GP, and said "Do I have to see him again? I don't want to." Dr B looked at me, gave a slight grin, and said I could see him instead! He had known me for 6 or so years at that point!

My son only has a day to day contract at the moment so wants something which will be a month to month so he can plan his life better or permanent. He prefers to have this contract to signing on the dole and I admire him for it. He has friends who just sign on but he his disgusted with them when there is work out there, it may not be your life's ambition but it is work and as an able bodied person thinks that you do what is necessary to pay for the luxuries. For one so young he is very careful with his money. When his endowment matured he put it in an ISA. When I was his age I blew every penny I got.

'Good on 'im Toots'

You have obviously 'brung'im up proper' !! ;-)

Pringles Dea?

Sour cream and onion flavour.....help yourself.

Morning all,

Sylvia, am so sorry to hear of your news, however it is great you have a surgeon that you have confidence in, it makes all the difference.

Some of them I think, forget they are dealing with humans...one of my friends has had a child recently diagnosed with autism. The specialist was awful, gave them no ideas where to go, didn't try to console the mother who was in tears etc etc..just horrible stuff.

Yum I like Pringles Cynthia and that is my favourite flavour!

Hope you are all having a nice weekend. Off to a dinner tonight and then hopefully having a quiet day tomorrow.

Take care all, hope that the rioting has eased off or finished ...

Hi all

We had a superb meal out at our favourite restaurant, and managed to enjoy ourselves.

At the end, after we had paid, I told the owner (who we know reasonably well) how bad the week had been, but how enjoyable the evening had been


He hugged me, and made OH promise to contact him and they will GIVE us a complimentary basket of food if and when I need cheering up!


How nice is that???

Hope you have a nice sleep Sylvs. - Nite nite <3 <3 <3

How lovely of the man at the Restaurant to offer to do that ! - You make sure that you take him up on his offer, it will be a lovely little treat for you to look forward to when the time is right.

I am going to get stuck into that lovely brunch now - SO much to choose from and it's all SO delicious I fear I will be munching away all morning.

Oh well, what a lovely way to spend my day. :-D

See you later,

Dea x

So glad you had a nice evening Sylvia.

SiL's father kept fish and his Mum decided she did not want to keep them but it was one of the things that grandaughter did with him.

Daughter noticed the Nursery were installing a tank so now grandad's fish have a new home and she can still see them as well as other children getting pleasure from them. :-D :-D

It IS nice isn't it Dea.........and we've got it all to ourselves! Thanks Sylvs - sleep well. What a lovely gesture from the Restaurant.......they must like you as much as we do!


Hi Grace.....Pringles coming over!

Autism - huh! Tell me about the attitude of some 'professionals'- some of them ought to be ashamed of themselves. It's interesting though because this seems to be a global problem.


I have spent a lot of my time campaigning to raise awareness of the condition at a local level....then I moved national. On FB, I am a member of a couple of autism groups and it's interesting how the same thing crops up with members from around the world.....lack of awareness .....attitude of professionals.....frustration of parents.

Give your friend a hug from me and tell her she is not alone - there are a lot of anxious mums out there!


I thought the boards had picked up a bit but I guess Sylvs misses someone to chat to whilst we are asleep.........c'mon ja...x and R.. where're you hiding??? Our Sylvs needs some company.

Of course the boards were quiet....I was in bed!

Dea have you left anything for breakfast except crumbs....
