General Chat

Sorry about that, my son turned up with his fiance. It's amazing where the time goes,when you start chatting.
I was showing them all the cardigans I have made for the baby.

The sky here is as black as black can be, it looks like we are due for a good old downpour. Thank goodness for that,it might cool down a bit,plus the garden could do with a good watering. I normally use the garden hose to water it,but rainwater is so much better for the plants.
I shall have to put the table lamp on in a minute,it's that bad. I hope we dont get a thunderstorm though.

What have you all been up to today then. my day has consisted of yapping,
I met the girls this morning for coffee,then my son arrived. So I have not done much else apart from talk talk talk.

Hi Pauline
where is everyone to day ? have I put them off. ? we seem to be getting less on here even Lady seems to have vanished as well as Sue.

I was watching the old gentleman from the flat above me waltering the plants he has many hanging baskets and they are over flowing with the most beautiful flowers fushia and Begonia as well as busy Liz's everyone says Rita your garden look lovely I said yes it does but the plants in the hanging baskets belong to Ted when I came here there were many hanging baskets on the flat walls and he asked me if he should removed them i said no leave them they look lovely and this year they have been the best ever.I have never seen so many colours.
I need to weed the little front bit hope to do that tomorrow morning.


Pauline I dont really manage with my cancer l get worried at times but try and think of something nice to take my mind of it. when I have the scans I worry then when I go to the hospital for the results I feel sick waiting for what the consultant will tell me.If the news is good I came out with a smile on my face .

Hi all.

Rita you cope really well with your illness, you're an inspiration the way you just get on with things. I hope those 80 candles don't set the fire alarms off when you have your next birthday. Although the hunky firemen might make your birthday a bit special.

Pleased to see the medication is working for you Linda. God knows how you've managed to put weight on though, I think Mo was right...........the scales must be wrong.

Jean, how long do you have to have this treatment? Can't say I blame you if you get depressed about it. Hope it wasn't too bad today.

No Marilyn or Shelly yet!!

Are your visitors still there Mo?

Got to go and sort son out now.

Hello all.
Linda, I don't understand how you have gained weight. What with all the walking you did in Eastbourne, rushing around doing the washing, ironing,gardening etc, you never seem to stop. Are you sure her scales were correct.

Keep smiling both Jean and Rita, and fight the bu**er that is blighting both your lives at the moment.

Hello to Marilyn, Pauline, Shelly, Yvonne, Liz and all our friends I may have forgotten to mention.
I have just got visitors arrived so will see you later.

Morning Jean Mo Shelly Marilyn Yvonne Linda Liz and Pauline and Sue if she looks at this thread. and not forgetting Elizabeth
I have just got back from having my INR blood test done. I was so hot in the waiting room when I came out I went to buy a TV times and the girl asked me if I was alright would I like to sit and she would get me a glass of water . I said no I am fine just feeling the heat. when I got in my face was like a beetroot. so two glasses of water and I have cooled down.

Linda i have my scan next Tuesday.so we will be poor old things together.
well I am a good few years older than you.
they will send for the fire brigade when I have my next birthday cake with all the candles on.
I am going to do a few new potatos for my dinner with ham and a salad to go with it. I brought a little indvidual rice pudding for dessert no idea what it will be like as I usually make my own.
Jean the tea was lovely after I had my water.and I am pleased you remembered not to put sugar in .

Rita

It's good that the hospital is early in the day for you.

Morning Everyone
Yes I am back Even though nobody else is here?
We walked for England yesterday all round Eastbourne, about 17,000 steps nearly 4 times what I manage most days. Had a nice meal in Harvester in the evening I had Chicken & bacon stack with salad & peas and a few chips. Diet coke to drink and tea when we got back home.
We drove back this morning for my nurses apt. No I am borderline diabetic Marilyn trying to avoid tablets but I ganined weight this month (Naughty & smack hand). Back again in a month. Blood test reults not back yet maybe tomorrow. Thyroid hosp appointment next Tuesday. Will see what they say about how many tablets I am taking, if the should be increased back to where they were 6 months ago !!
The medication for the reflux seems to be helping as hubby says I am not coughing at night. That is amazing.

Hubby at work after 1:30 so need to water everything and do the ironing and maybe some knitting til he gets hame just before midnight

Linda :o) XxX

evening all
and it looks like iv mist every one again

im off out againg tomorrow early iv got work but will be back late after noon

Hi Everyone,

Just popping in to say Good Night .....All

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? .....Tea or Coffee...or night cap ....xx

I phoned the Goldsworth care volunteer drivers they are and take you to and from the hospital do your shopping if you are unwell things like that. they give you an envelope you put a donation in toward the cost of the petrol they are brilliant I dont know what I would do without them. they give us a strawberry tea in the summer so we all meet up.
I cannot be cured it is in the kidney and liver first stages they keep it down that was why I did months of injections it had been stable for about 11 months now. so that is all that matters.everyday is a day of life to me.
I thank my blessing for that. this next scan will tell if it has got any worse or stable.
to have my warfarin blood test done, they all come at once these hospital appointments.at 10. then I get the results back within two days. this gives the amount of tablets I need to take each day at the moment I have 5 mg.
I took my perscription across the the chemist this afternoon they get the repeat done take it to the surgery and get it typed and signed and I collect it in three days time from the chemist. it is muck easier for me.

Rita

This is the short version of it...

Mo, really sorry about your cat, we had to have ours put down after we'd had him 18 years, it's horrible isn't it?

Jean, hope it all goes well for you today, I'll be thinking of you.

Linda have a good day out and be careful your neighbours don't call the police when they see you going into your house......Mo was right, they probably won't recognize you..........lol

Marilyn, you're making your sister's holiday so good she won't want to go home.

Rita, hope the scan it OK again this time and you won't need any more treatment.

Shelly are you out with the family today or at work?

I don't believe it..............I've sat here ages writing a long post (it was like War and Peace) and when I pressed the button it disappeared. .

I'm not bl**dy doing it all again.

Morning Ladies.

I notice you have all got yourself planned in for the day in one thing or another ? hope whereever you are going or doing it goes well for you.
Jean good luck on your day as well I know how you must feel just want to get it over with.

Mo sorry to hear about your old pussy cat mine died years ago she had cancer lumps all over her he name was Queenie I often look at her photos and think what a lovely cat she had been.she was a birthday presnet from my Dads sister to me

A friend phoned me last night she olnly lives five door along and asked me if I would like to go on hoiliday with her in September someone she was going with cannot go it is a coach holiday and is to Norwich they go out everyday. I said I had been to all the places living in Norfolk
22 years so it would not have been a holiday for me. if I want a holiday in Norfolk My friends would be most annoyed if I went to a Hotel and not to them.
I also said I have a scan on 3rd so dont know what the outcome of that will be whether I have to start treatemnt again or not? then I have blood test for my PMR and INR tests so it will be that waiting game for me.
very coudy here and humid I wonder if we have rain.

Rita

Morning......

Mo ....poor little puss..... my cat was 18yrs when we had to have her put to sleep after the vet examined her under sedation, she had lumps that we were not aware of, so vet rang us and we said do the right thing and put her to sleep as she had had a good long life.
you'll miss her for a bit......never mind.

Yvonne, lovely to see you again, bet you didn't want to come home ! glad your back with us...... Reality !!!!.......LOL
