That's crap. Have you told your parents, so they can support you?

Not the news you wanted to hear, but hopefully they will be able to remove it, without doing too deep, we will all keep our fingers and toes cross, for you. 🤞

You are so much stronger now, you will get through this, you are amazing.
Just take care of yourself, and we spoonies are here for as long as you need us. We are all your friends now, and really care about you. 😘🌺

Thank you very much @Nottogetapenny, I’m just not looking forward to all the extra hospital appointments and scans that come with it . I’ve got a phobia of hospitals since this year .
Thank you for being there, at least I can come to terms with it in a safe place from now xx

@Imbluedalale I've already said it Laura but I'm here. The Spoonies are here. Holding your hand for the next hurdle. You are so much stronger than you know 🥰

Thank you @nornironlady , I hope you got home ok. I’m so glad I have all you spoonies with me, I never had that before so I’m going to get ready to battle knowing that I have friends cheering me on. I don’t think I’m going to tell my children as ex will find out and he’ll love it xx

@Imbluedalale Oh lovely! Not the news we wanted ❤
It sounds like they are on the case and looking after you tho and treatments have moved on massively.
Try not to worry too much (easy for me to say, I know) xxx

Hi @Munchyseeds2 , I hope you’re ok?
Yes you’re right they are on the case I honestly cannot fault the nhs they have been amazing but I just want a break from it all you know?xx

Hi @Apolloneuro , yes I’ve told my parents , my mum was the first person I called. And I’ve told my sister she wanted to come and see my but she’s had a really long day so I told her not to come as I didn’t want her driving in the dark when she’s tired xx

@Imbluedalale I'm back in my dressing gown and just finished a cuppa.
I understand where you are coming from on sharing your news. I expect with the ongoing appointments you have, it shouldn't be hard to just not mention this news to the children.
Spoonie Brigade will be marching behind you all the way x

I’ve put my dressing gown on over my clothes it’s a Winnie the Pooh one and it’s lovely and warm. I’m just not going to mention it to them until I know for sure what’s what and also don’t want to worry them so near Christmas but I’m wondering what to say when I have to go to hospital for day a week on Monday and my leg will be all bandaged up xx

@Imbluedalale the last 2/3pages have been about when to tell the truth to people as it would upset them more to find out you hid it later on.... i dont want to sway you in a decision but you are allowing your parents to be there once more and if you need /want them its your choice xx

spoonfulofmustard · 28/11/2024 19:11

and god trust me, I know how hard it to start allowing people back in and putting yourself first xxxx but you're worth it, and equally your choice xx

What an absolute abhorrent sorry waste of a skin he sounds. He'd soon sing a different tune if all us spoonies descended on him and bashed him with a load of spoons. Great big heavy spoons.

Malbecfan · 28/11/2024 20:08

Just checking in with you to say I'm sorry today has been bad. Tomorrow will be better and I'm in the Spoon-Army xxx

Giraffe888 · 28/11/2024 20:26

Sorry for being absent and not being as active in replying as what most of you are, I do read as frequently as I can but it’s been harder whilst I was on holiday

i’m so sorry for the not so good news today. I reiterate what others have said, it’s different for you this time as you’ve got an army of spoons scooping you up and getting you through xxx

CookiePookie · 28/11/2024 20:32

I'm so sorry for your bad news today. I keep up with your thread every single day and check to see how you are; one of the more invisible Spoonies in the background. I am thinking of you in your Winnie the Pooh dressing gown, and remember what Pooh had to say: "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." All the very best to you, Laura.

A hug for you lovely xx

RaspberryBeretxx · 28/11/2024 22:56

I’m so sorry that it wasn’t good news at the hospital @Imbluedalale . Bloody hell, the universe needs to give you a break at this point! Sending a big hug. I’m glad your parents and sister are there for you and you have all of us behind you.

Also think it’s crazy that you could get fined. I think the head will surely waive it. Sorry to hear also that you didn’t have a very good chat with him due to dickhead ex.

nornironlady · 28/11/2024 06:01

Good morning Spoonies.
@Imbluedalale I hope you get up feeling better today but if not snuggle down and take it easy.
@RaspberryBeretxx while we need to protect our children I also would rather not lie especially when asked directly for the truth. This happened at 7 with the Santa question for me. My son looked me right in the face and said - now Mummy tell me the truth, Santa's not real, isn't he not! While I was a bit gutted to spoil the magic but he clearly didn't believe. ASD and logic! He then went to school and told all the other kids. Teacher rang his Dad as I missed the call and gave out about it. Partner rings me to do the same and I'm like what!!!!! The preference is for me to lie to my child! Well no magic is worth my child losing trust in his Mum! I can laugh about it now but it did blow my mind that the teacher lifted the phone to tell us off for not lying to our child.

Thats so lovely that you can just be 100% honest. Hilarious that he went to school and revealed all. I wouldn’t have been annoyed if I was another parents, it’s just one of those things. You never know how long your child will believe for. One of DS’s friends told him he’d found all his little teeth in his mums desk so the tooth fairy didn’t exist and I think they worked out from there that Father Christmas was probably fake too.

Meanwhile33 · 28/11/2024 23:17

I’m so sorry to hear that news Laura. Sending you buckets of love and support and a massive hug. I’m so glad you have your mum and dad and sister in your corner now, that’s huge compared to where you were 6 months ago. They will help you get through it. And all of us from afar.

It’s so clear from all your posts what a lovely caring thoughtful person you are, and how lucky anyone would be to be your friend.

Thank you @spoonfulofmustard . I’ve had a good cry and then fell asleep but I’ve had a word with myself and dusted myself off and decided I’m going to be strong and not crumble this time. I’ve got through the last 2 months of absolute hell so I can get through this and now I have a full army of spoonies where we are all there for each other. And spoons are strong and resilient xx
