Is it just me ?
Or dies Galadriel look like she's giving the finger in that pic ?

[Gigondas]

I thought that was point of photo- but know nothing of lord of rings (but am clearly an expert in flicking the bird).

[jchocchip]

I'm on the bus home - catch up properly later
copt you mean 2 schools now! - I was one village closer to where I am now. My dd2 did ballet in the village hall in the viaduct village and we went there to the shops (spar, chinesy) and to cycle along the viaduct now a sustrans route. Nice view from the top! My uncle by marriage came from that area too.

[jchocchip]

Phew just managed to recover from settng phone to chinese!

Hand holding to Pen for tomorrow
Hope it all goes smoothly for you this time x

[Gigondas]

Good thoughts for you tomorrow pen x

[NedSchneebly]

Bleurgh. . . Managed to get in to work OK, though it did take an hour and a quarter. Road closed due to flooding. Class were a bit manic today and new
planning format that we are now supposed to be using is slightly unwieldy to teach from and very complicated to manage, with different groups of kids rotating through different activities, so lots of movement. It takes such a lot of setting up and preparation, much more than old format. Feel like I've gone back a step or two today

Just wanted to pop in and wish pen all the best for tomorrow in case I don't make it on in the morning. Will have everything crossed for you lovely, and hope to goodness they don't bump you again. Be gentle to yourself and hurry back to us x x x

Heading for a bath and my bed. Lots of love t all x x

[topsyturner]

Have a good nights sleep Ned
Sounds like it was a loooong day !

Watching Africa
Wonder what will die this week and make me cry ?
Gotta stop doing this to myself

Coffee anyone ?
(I know , weird to see me without a wine glass in my hand eh ?)

[smee]

Ned, I'd bet you haven't gone backwards at all. If you hadn't had cancer, but had a new age group/ class you'd be having these problems am sure. Bound to be tricky for you. Sleep well xx

Nipping in to say huge hugs for Pen. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Hope they put you first on the list so you don't have to wait. x

Topsy without wine?

[graciesmall09]

Two and a half hours gigs . I would have needed gas and air.

Good luck pen for tomorrow.

mas I wouldn't class sugar free gum as a sweet, sure it's calorie free. We will scoff look after your sweets for you .

Hugs to you ned hope tomorrow is a better day.

[PenisColada]

Thanks tomorrow is the big day. At least I am going in at 7am so not as much time to fret. Just popped some codeine to make me sleep.

Ths thread has been a lifeline thanks so much for putting up with me.


I hope my next post will be after op is over not to tell you it is cancelled again. Do you think I need to cry to get temazepam again or will they just give it to me ?

[jchocchip]

Thinking of you Pen hope it all goes smoothly tomorrow.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

just tell them how it helped last time pen - sleep well and will be thinking of you tomorrow.
ned you are doing brilliantly,don't feel you've gone back a step xxx

[KurriKurri]

Loads of good thoughts for tomorrow Pen, hope everything goes really well for you, and you are home and recovering asap (and yes tell them you had temaz. last time and you need it again) xx

[Gigondas]

Tentative offering of here as tummy seems to be getting better.

Hope you are temazepam'ed up and on way to theatre pen- thinking of you x

[jchocchip]

Hope tummy is behaving with the gig

[Copthallresident]

gigs (Flowering Jasmine tea) All seems calm here at the moment too, and DD has gone off to school. Last night DH decided I should try as a kill or cure, and I did feel much better

BTW don't blame me for the doorstop reference book, it is the weight of all that study over the centuries! You should have chosen a subject like mine, usually just a footnote in western history!!

Thinking of Pen, hope she got her drugs.

[smee]

Very quiet on here today. Been on one of my epic train journeys for work, so to Cardiff and back. Was lovely to see all the snow from the window.

Just nipped on to see if there's any word from Pen. Am thinking no news is good news, as it must mean she's had her op. Fingers crossed she has and is propped up and comfy now. x

[HerNextDoorAt21]

Good evening everyone and profuse apologies for my absence, the Internet signal and small type on phone was not conducive to joining in very much. I feel now I a home I am going to have more time to join in.

I got sprung on Tuesday which was day 15 in hospital. I am still leaking very badly from the large swelling under my arm frommthe front and back scars but it has to get out somehow and aspiration wasn't possible as it was described as a sponge effectbwherebthe fluid is all in the tissue and not a pool so to speak.

I have to see my lovely surgeon tomorrow and will be oweekly check ups from now on. The 11 days of leech therapy has paid excellent dividends.

I have had a ad at recent posts and is great to see gigs and of course topsy having such excellent news !!!!

Did pen go in for her surgery ? Has anyone got any news ?

Hi to everyone else and hope to get a little bit mor involved now I have more time and my iPad !!!

[HelenMumsnet]

Evening everyone. Apols for highjacking your thread but we just wanted to draw your attention (if it hasn't been drawn already) to our Macmillan support Q&A thread.

We're looking for MNers who'd be willing to share their experiences and advice (i.e. act as the MN "experts") on this Q&A in tandem with a Macmillan spokesperson.

If that sounds like something you might consider, please do have a look and read more about it.

[smee]

Helen not hijacking at all. Will go have a look.

Waving to HND. Lovely to see you back. Fluid sounds annoying. How's the new breast? Have you seen it yet? Are you in pain or okay-ish? Hope the later. x

No news from Pen is I think good news, as must mean she's had her surgery.

[HerNextDoorAt21]

smee my new breast is a lovely size but the swelling to the side makes it look,like a bit of a car crash at the moment ! I have managed with no painkillers today, there is little pain (underarm is a wee bit sore after lymph node removal) it's just a little uncomfortable whee the swelling is.

Went to topsys for my first glass of post op wine tonight ...... Mmmmmmm

[smee]

Yay for new breast!! Take pain killers tonight maybe? Might help you sleep. Good that you don't need them during the day though. Wine is of course medicinal. Did you let Sauron lay his healing paws on you?

[KurriKurri]

Hi HND - yay for new booby - am sure it will look great once the swelling has gone down, - well done for managing without painkillers, but have a few handy for night times - things always seem more sore at night for some reason.

Hope Pen has had her op and is tucked up asleep in hospital (and has no snorers on her ward!)

Hi Smee, was Cardiff journey OK - no delays due to the wrong kind of snow on the line? Hope you had a big fat book to read.

Helen - thanks for dropping in will have a look at that link.
