to think that Mumsnet is AMAZING (and here in morningpaper to tell you why)

[morningpaper]

... AIBU to think Mumsnet is really AMAZING

My DD is in a hospital in London, in the middle of nowhere, with just DH for company and an infected foot, tied up to drips, and within hours of letting my mumsnet chums know, Mner Renderedspeechless arrives with a "MASSIVE bag of books and LOADS OF OTHER STUFF" (I am not quite sure of the details) AND an ipod charger.

DD is very sad to be in hospital so to be surrounded by books will cheer her up a LOT.

So big big BIG thanks to Renderedspeechless and also to others who offered help including Alexw and LazyJourno and lots of others - you are GREAT and Mumsnet is a fab community. Me and my family are very grateful indeed. XXX

(did you see how I ego-centrically sneaked my name into the subject there )

Really sorry to hear about your dd, morningpaper. Hope she is ok.

Hurrah for MNers, and hope your dd is fighting fit soon MP!

awww, we are an amazing lot really, aren't we?

All the bad press is simply jealousy.

Hope your DD gets better soon xxx

poor wee dd. hope she is better soon.

well done renderedspeechless.

what happened to dd?

Glad to hear that your DH is getting some MN support. Hope that your DD is better soon.

Well done to RenderedSpeechless and the other MNetters who helped out.

See, that is the real MN. Hope dd gets better soon, MP. During half term too - what a swizz.

MNers are fab. We always knew that. Doesn't sell papers though. MUCH better to say that we are bitches and bullies.

Hope DD is soon home. And hope DH is coping ok.

And yes I did notice the placing of the name in the subject heading. And the typo......

DD took her sock off on Saturday night and it had swollen up like something out of the Crimean War - then got fever/vomiting and by the morning wasn't responding to anything

She in on the mend, but slowly

Poor little DD! Hope she's better soon.

crikey, poor thing! Hope she is better soon mp.

She is on the mend slowly, we are hoping she will either be discharged or transferred to the local hospital today

I just really appreciate all the messages of support on here which make me feel a lot less lonely

ahh poor her and you . I hope she's out soon too.

do they know why/how she got it?

hope shes better soon .

aw poor thing.

This is what mn is really about! This is why I keep coming back, to find random acts of kindness. But of course this will never be reported on!

Wishing dd well MP.

Sorry, tell me if I am being obsessive, but your explanation of what was wrong with her didn't really explain. Why did her foot swell in the first placce? I mean, how did she get it infected in the first place? It sounds really horrid for her, poor thing, and presumably it is half term too - what a way to spend your holiday

That sounds horrible. Poor little girl. Glad she is on the mend.

how frightening! [manly punch on the arm for you mp]

YANBU - MN is amazing! I'm sorry to hear about yout DD MP and hope she is feeling brighter today. x

Aw MP your poor DD Hope she's better and home soon.

Gutter: She had veruccas that were being treated with some over-the-counter acid shit and I think this had broken the skin, and an infection had got in through the skin and into the foot. Suffice to say that it was VERY obvious that there was an infection so you would definitely notice.

poor DD hope shes better soon

Aahhh, poor DD! I hope she gets better soon. And kudos to RenderedSpeechless - what a lovely thing to do!

get better soon mini MP.

Poor DD and poor you and DH! But well done th MC cavalry!
