I'm total rubbish at doing posts that include everyone. But I'm waving anyway.
Gigs, good luck for tomorrow.

And for anyone else with appointments looming in the next few days.

AshokanFarewell · 07/04/2013 21:19

Exhausted after busy day making my newly painted room look lovely and moving stuff home from my flat so won't post much now.

Good luck tomorrow gigs I will be thinking of you! :)

Phoned mum and they hadn't come for the tuck call at 9.20 which is a bit of a long time since the before 4pm tea call... she gets anxious. But they must have come soon after I phoned as they have been and gone now, phew!

waves to everyone, I'm another who can't remember from one page to the next to do a good round up :( sending sleepy wishes for a good night sleep.

Oh and the stairlifts sold on ebay for more than we thought they would, so that is good.

topsyturner · 07/04/2013 22:07

I have no idea what time it is at home, but zooming in from afar, as have just found a wifi signal. Hugest amounts of luck and positive vibes from me for stage 1, Gig. I will drink a toast to herald in the new bionic you in a bit xxx

Smooches to all from a v long way away. Hope you're all upright and as well as well can be. Mwahh from me x Smile

jchocchip · 08/04/2013 07:16

Smeeeeeeeeeeee 04.29! Have you seen a toucan? (())

Pain about the tooth, mas Idon't know what to suggest. I used to floss regularly around my crown but sometimes it caused more trouble... Since I had it redone it is not such a trap and I don't bother!

gig mahosive positive vibes for today.

Hope you all have had a good night. Now for a Brew

Gigondas · 08/04/2013 08:22

Thanks my lovelies - have 3G but no wireless. Just waiting to go down in about an hour. Will update later x

NedSchneebly · 08/04/2013 10:09

darn. . . missed wishing gig mega positive vibes. Thinking of you lovely x x x x

gracie thinking of you today too - hope going wigless is not too stressful (or cold!) and that you can resist the temptation to smack the headtilters Smile I was thinking about asking my oncy about whether a hysterectomy would be a good idea, but my GP and BCN mentioned injections/implant things, so I guess they might try that first. I think I would rather have the op and then its done.

coorong LURVE the Miranda's mum idea - will definitely use that one!

pen lunch sounds good - will be ace to see you again. Tuesdays best for me, if you can swing the school run onto obliging ILs?

smee hope you are having a totally wonderful time, wherever you are in the world. Somewhere exotic, judging by the time difference!

Must clean the kitchen and get the boy dressed before friend comes over and considers calling social services. . .

topsyturner · 08/04/2013 11:18

Ned Friend just went through this, she had the injections for a few months but then decided she preferred to have her ovaries removed, an Oophorectomy, and have done with it. She was having Zoladex implants and didn't much enjoy the big needle. The Oophorectomy was done laparoscopically as a day case, she was quite sore and took longer to recover than she had anticipated but she is glad she had it done.

smee Still being very mysterious about where in the world? Can't we have another clue?

Topsy Tell DDs friend that all serious and fearless riders break their collar bones at some point, going over the top. My Dad was / is a lunatic on a lunatic horse serious rider and at one point the nurses said they were going to reserve a cubicle for him in A&E. Whether it is ribs or collar bone they just strapped him up and sent him home. Thankfully his horse is settling down age 16 because he shows no sign age 80 Hmm

jchoc I clicked on something in Windows 8 or Google chrome , I have no idea what because I have searched and searched for a way to get it back. According to DH it is really meant for a touchscreen so he has done the rounds to try and get a touch screen for our main computer but John Lewis and PC World said there is no demand Hmm In any case when it comes to techy stuff I am a random buggeration factor.

Ash Glad you got the bum cream recipe right, and you are more comfortable. Little Copt has very pale skin and apparently people with her colouring have a layer less skin so she didn't so much have nappy rash as third degree burns and she gets problems with getting cracks at the back of her ears that get very ucky so I am an expert on bum creams. When she used to go on school trips I used to have to decant the sudocream, vaseline and anti funghal stuff into Nivea pots to protect her cred!!

Hope gigs is now recovering from Stage 1 Bionicification.

Copthallresident · 08/04/2013 11:34

Wonders if Damien has to use bum cream on the back of his ears............

topsyturner · 08/04/2013 12:12

I'd rub it on for him .......

It's taking a bloody long time to rebuild me- must be a sending out for Lego. Am still waiting to go in. I would kill for a drink and am hammering my candy crush lives.

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/04/2013 12:52

grrr gig that's a pain - hope you're in v soon ...
smee !!!!!!! hope you're having the fabbest time ever :-)
Dentist did say to be careful with floss,but I forgot...anyway,am seeing him for check up tomorrow and hope he'll patch it - it's not a nuisance but I hate my teeth being so flimsy.
Love to all xxx

gigs perhaps they have sent out to Hamleys for the Star Wars set.... How annoying, they always seem to run behind.

Mas sorry about the tooth. What is it that causes it I wonder, Does the calcium get leached by the chemo? I have strong teeth which is good except that they are yellow not exactly pearly white but my nails have never recovered from chemo in spite of calcium supplements. Perhaps Amber knows?

Gigondas · 08/04/2013 13:24

AngryAngry Cancelled the op. was an emergency which is fair enough but still ConfusedAngry about it.

topsyturner · 08/04/2013 13:25

Oh no Gigs !!!
When are you rescheduled for ?
What an absolute pain in the arse !

Gigondas · 08/04/2013 13:35

No fucking idea. Am not paying for it Either (as private). I know emergency is an emergency but I am fed up as all set for it and it pushes everything else back. I am utterly sick of wearing a neck brace, being in intermittent pain and hanging around wasting my life waiting for hospital .

Copthallresident · 08/04/2013 13:55

Angry What a pain in the neck and arse.... I hope they are on to sorting it out for you

Gigondas · 08/04/2013 14:00

Dh going all stern on them ( I have just cried ) - I completely understand that emergency take priority. My fear is I cannot wait indefinitely to do this as at what point do I slip from being routine to emergency.
