Hi Laura, how are you? I think we are all a little bit concerned as you haven’t posted much today! Hopefully it’s because you have been able to have a much needed rest.
Hope you have heard from your children today, and your daughter is with you.
Another cuddle 🤗 from me. Hope you have a much better night than last night. 😘🌺

Just got back from a quick drink with a friend. Hope you’re ok, Laura.

Did you see the film? I thought it was excellent.

Hope you had a lovely drink? What film did you see? There seem so many Christmas ones on Netflix!

Hope you're OK Laura and the leg isn't too sore. Thinking of you and hoping you have a peaceful night. xx

Munchyseeds2 · 10/12/2024 21:58

I'm another saying contact the docs tomorrow.

It will just be hanging over you otherwise xxx
Only nagging cause we care!
sleep well lovely

Hi ya Laura, hope you have been able to have a restful day and enjoyed the film. I’m with @Apolloneuro , it would be good to get a doctors appointment booked so you can put it to the the back of your mind.
Sending a big cuddle 🤗🤗

Apolloneuro · 10/12/2024 12:43

Gonna watch that film now.

Laura, please can I do a teeny tiny nag and wonder if you could at least ring the surgery and make an appointment for later in the week?

I know you’re fed up of appointments. I can completely see why you are, but if the appointments made you can at least put it to the back of your mind xxxxx

Meanwhile33 · 10/12/2024 11:21

Morning Laura, I’m sorry you’re feeling blue. Surgery is such a hard thing to go through, you’re doing really well. I love your poster!

I was reading about that film too this morning, it sounds great. Sending a big hug and lots of love. xx

RaspberryBeretxx · 10/12/2024 10:46

Hi spoonies, hope everyone is OK.

Sorry about your leg and early bed change, Laura. That's stressful. I'm glad it doesn't hurt too much, keep taking painkillers. Sending a big cuddle, I'm sorry you didn't get much back from your children yesterday. They can be so loving but so wrapped up in their own world at times (let along with your ex talking shit to them). They'll come around, I know it but I get it's so so hard in the meantime. Lots of hugs and enjoy the netflix film. Which one is it?

I'm just getting ready for my usual Tuesday coffee meeting!

Good Morning, Laura and Spoonies. A big cuddle from me 🤗 Laura. It must be upsetting not to get texts from your children , but it probably that like a lot of young ones, they just don’t think!
Hope your leg feels a little more comfortable today and isn’t quite as sore as yesterday.
But it must of been a bit of a worry when you saw the blood on your sheets, then having to wash all the bedding is something you could of done without!

I too read those other threads, how awful for them, but you know how shit some partners can be!

I’m fine, just going to clean my house today, as it badly needs it! And so untidy, after my grandchildren have been there is stuff everywhere.

Hope you can relax, watching tv and enjoying a few cups of tea. 😘🌺

Good morning @Nottogetapenny , thank you so much for the cuddle they are always appreciated but more so today. I’ve dragged my fluffy duvet downstairs to lounge on sofa all day. I’ve just received a message from my doctors saying they want to see me urgently re my swollen throat but I’m going to leave it a few days as I’m so tired of hospitals and appointments. I just need a few days break.
My leg feels sore today but manageable with painkillers .
Those threads are awful aren’t they , my heart broke for the pregnant lady. The more I read on MN the more I’m going to stay single for life. I might get a dog or a cat when I get better.
I always find having music on helps me when I’m cleaning . Omg I have found the absolute most amazing disinfectant spray that smells amazing and the smell lasts too I’m obsessed with it . You know I like my smellies.
My sister has just had her grandchildren over from Spain and her granddaughter Milaya who’s 3 can understand English but she just talks in Spanish she’s sounds so cute. They have gone back to Spain today and my sister said her house looks like a bomb has gone off 😂.
I hope you have a lovely day xxxx

Good morning Spoonies!
@Imbluedalale I totally understand your feelings around your family, it's nice to be thought of is all. Try and take it easy and let thing heal.
I also read those threads you have mentioned, the pregnant lady kicking her ex to kerb via the BIL was great! Shocking story though.
My partner brought home a flu yesterday morning, he was banished to the backroom and hasn't left it in 24hrs which isn't like him at all so it's bad. I've woken this morning with the chill right into my bones and generally feeling a bit heavy in the head. I've logged on for work but if this continues I will be taking myself back to bed and the electric blanket. I can't face a day in front of a screen as it's already hurting my eyes. I've had some Paracetamol and water with ginger and lemon so here's hoping it helps.
Wishing you all a good nowhere Tuesday!!

Good morning @nornironlady , happy pointless day.
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well and your partner has flute. Sending you big hugs.
There seems to be so much illness around at the moment I know it’s winter but it seems a lot. You need to both get some potato skins in your socks . They will turn black after a few hours (the skins not your feet) as they will have soaked up all the toxins.
I feel so sorry for the pregnant lady but she seems to have an amazing supportive family around her. What a pos her husband is . I will be manifesting piles for him too xx

Morning spoonies , I hope you are all ok today. Sorry I wasn’t very talkative yesterday I was abit out of it when I got home. I managed a few hours sleep but woke up to find I’d bled through my bandages and so had to put bedding in wash at 5am this morning and repad myself back up on my leg. I wasn’t able to get dissolvable stitches in the end so I have to get my stitches removed on Christmas Eve . Feeling abit meh today as my children didn’t text me yesterday apart from a text off my daughter saying she can’t stay tonight as she’s going to cinemas. I know it’s not my kids responsibility to look after me and I don’t expect them to but a text would have been nice to wish me good luck . I think going to hospital on my own and having op and coming back to an empty home hit me abit. You know those days when you just need a cuddle? Today is one of those days.
Anyway there’s far more people going through a rougher time than me . I was reading a devastating thread on here yesterday about a woman who’s 38 weeks pregnant and her whole world has been turned upside down and another thread where the woman has been with her partner for a year and he’s been hurting her badly.
My positive posters for my bedroom came yesterday one says ‘there is always a reason to smile, find it’ and the other one which makes me think of all you spoonies says ‘a wise woman once said , fuck this shit and she lived happily ever after’. I will get frames for them in January and put them up.
I hope you all have a lovely day, sending big hugs xxxx

I can't believe you were picked up at the crack of dawn but hopefully that means you will be home again before you know it.
