I used to watch A lot of Murder She Wrote. Jessica Fletcher always knew the right people and go to some good places!

Hello everyone.
I am feeling very down at the moment.
I have just been told that my nephew, has got to have more surgery done.
He went for a check up today, and the area where they removed the cancerous growth,has now got a cyst on it,and they are afraid that the cancer could grow back on the cyst.
They want to try a new proceedure on him, where they wrap the cyst in a wafer thin paper soaked in chemo,to shrink it.
M does not want them to open his skull again,and may opt for chemo,if they can't do it by keyhole surgery, but they want to operate on him next Wednesday,as they think operating has more chance of being successful.
He has not improved as quickly as they had expected him to, and he still has the fits,and on occasions goes blind for a few hours.
He and his other half are expecting their first baby in April,and he wants to be fit enough to attend the birth.
It's a hard thing to say to him, but he must have it done, to be around to see his child grow up.
Sorry folks for going on about this, but it has helped to just get it of my chest.

Dear Mo
Glad you can write here about your worries and get a little comfort from us. Be sure that I am thinking of your nephew and hope they can do the operation and that it is sucessful, so that he can see his baby born and grow up

Rita glad that Mike is going on OK

Got the cough back, but I will fight it. Poor child really shouldn't have been here today. Why do these parents feel their jobs are more important than their babies

Linda :o) XxX

Mo, sorry to hear about your nephew. You know what they say a trouble shared is a trouble halved.
i hope your cough gets better Linda. the change in temperature can't help. One day it's mild and the next day it's freezing cold.
Rita glad that Mike is improving.

Thank you Linda.
So little one was still not well. Some parents,do tend to put their jobs first,and children go on the back burner.
Is she coming back tomorrow? If she is still poorly will they still expect you to have her,surely not.
When children are not well,they normally just want their mummy to give them cuddles,and love.

Mo my heart goes out to you and the family. it is so upsetting poor man must be beside hisself with worry. lets all pray and send him positive thoughts. there is so much sadness in this world and to talk about it does help so be free to talk wherever you want you can PM me if you feel like it.

Linda you are right alot of people these days put their jobs before thier children I know money is very important but is the job worth putting your child second ?

It is about time you got rid of that cough Linda go to the doctors if you cannot get rid of it
.
Jean how is your chest now after your spell in hospital. do you have to go back to see them,?

Thank you Pat for your asking about Mike.

Love Rita

Night x

Hi Shelly nice to hear you have your computer back.
I dont think my computer has ever worked so hard as it has these last few weeks.I have been working on so much. I had a cousin get intouch we have not met for 40 years , his dad and My Mother were brother and sister. so I have been filling in all the things he missed , so many emails have been sent to and fro he has said he would like to see me .and when the weather is better wants to call.

The Estate Manger tries to push me at times saying things I ignore her I am here to look after myself and the residents some are very old a couple cannot get out . some other are frightened to say anything. so I talk to them and write it down. then say something at the meetings. I know I must me a old pest but I dont like people walking over me and treating me like a child.,
This time she came unstuck saying it was the way I read her report and I was wrong if George had not been with me . she would have tried to dismiss it but she could not this time as he was a teacher at Cambridge University and his letters come address as Dr.so she knew she was in the wrong. anyway it is all sorted now till the next time.

Rita

I am going to bed now I feel so tired tonight, so much to do tomorrow

Nite all
Rita

Hi Mo, Shelly Rita and Pat
No Little M will be going to nursery tomorrow and Friday. I only have her 3 days a week, as I no longer work 5 days.
Her Mum wanted to work part time but could only finmd a full time job 5 long days a week and she has to drive from here to Chiswick most days too.
Her Dad works from home mostly, but has to go abroad sometimes. He will be in Rome all next week.
I did get rid of the cough for about a week, but it started again today, after Little was coughing and sneezing all day Monday.
Like you all say she only needs to be in her own home and having deep sleeps in her own cot and cuddles when she needs them too.
I know without working Mum's I wouldn't have a job but sometimes they need to stand back and see how the child is really and care for them too.
Oh she won't be at home Saturday either!! she will be with her Dad's mother for the day(so they can go shopping, without her?)

So sad really. Really pleased I was able to stay home with mine, even if we didn't have everything and the children had to save for branded goods like trainers, unlike some of their friends.

Have a peaceful evening and sleep well evryone

Linda :o) Xxx

Hello everyone, hope things are well with you.
Mo am so very sorry to read about your nephew, my prayers and positive thoughts are with him and all the family. and the little one expected in April, I do hope he will be well enough to be present at the birth.
Rita, good news that Mike is making progress. I have to go back for a chest xray every month at the moment.
Shelly glad you have got your laptop back, bet you was lost without it.
Glad they didn't kill Tom Barnaby off at the end of Midsomer Murders, suppose it leaves it open for him to come out of retirement.
I have been watching My Big Fat Gypsy wedding for the last 3 weeks, must say it doesn't represent the true Romany weddings, but the people taking part are Irish tinkers not really gypsies, most of them seem to have become settled ans live in houses. They must be getting quite well paid for allowing cameras to film them.
Will say good night now,and wish you all a peaceful night.
Jeniwren xx
Linda, I do hope your cough clears again, take care. xx

Thank you Jean
I just worry that it is the sarcoidosis returning, never want that chest pain again !!! As apparently because it is autoimmune it is still in me and could come back again.
I will possibly retire from the minding in April as I don't think I want to go through another winter of illness like this year

Linda :o) XxX

Hi Linda, the doctor told me when I was first diagnosed that once it is in your system it never leaves you and can recur at any time, when I left hospital they said if I started with a cough or a cold I had to go straight to GP, I have to go back for a chest xray in 2 weeks.
Take care wont you.
Jean xx

Good Morning everyone,
Mo, sorry to read about your nephew, I hope his treatment is successful and he recovers in time to be at birth of little one.
Rita, I hope that Mike is continuing to make good progress and will soon be at home with his family.

Weather mild and damp here this morning. Its so unpredictable at the moment, one day freezing next day milder etc. Only working for 3 hours this morning which is great as I didn't sleep too well and feel tired, got a night time cough thats driving me mad, i am seeing GP later for blood results so will get something for cough while I'm there.
Have a good day,

Cath xx

Morning All
It is getting lighter in the mornings thank goodness. The forecast was for the best day today.

Might try to sort out my hair today
Tomorrow is shopping for the party and Saturday clearing up and making up spare beds.

Have a good day everyone

Linda :O) XxX

Morning everyone,
Yes I'm glad they didn't kill off Tom Barnaby. I thought he might have pegged it at his birthday party. Also you never knew how old he was!
Have a nice day. Just going to make my boss a cup of coffee x

Morning everyone looks like I have trouble with my computer so if you dont hear from me it will mean my computer has packed up.

I logged on this morning to find all the lights worked but no imaige on the monitor so I had my bath and tried again ? click the keyboard and lo and behold the images appeared. but I dont know if I will get through each time. so now your know what has happened.

Jean that BIG Fat Gypsy wedding there was big article in one of the paper saying that they had recieved a lot of money for doing this show.and also that it was all put up that half of it never happens.they are playing for the cameras.

Pat I was pleased they didnt kill of Tom Barnaby I would not be surprised if they didnt bring back another one. who looks like him they have done in other series.

Catherine and Linda get rid of that cough before summer your seems to be hanging on. have a good day.

Rita

Morning all.

Mo, I'm so sorry to read about your nephew, I hope you can talk him in to doing what's best for his health. That cyst might have had something to do with the fits starting. I can understand he doesn't want another massive operation but it sounds like it's the best option. He can't take chances!!

Rita, I hope Mike is having less pain each day. Once he gets home he'll feel better about everything.

Linda, it's not just this winter that you've been ill, you were ill all through last winter as well. You do seem to pick up everything the little ones get, your immune system just isn't working properly is it?

I feel really sorry for little M, it's a pity her mam can't get a part-time job - so she can spend more time with her.
