Glad day back ok notjenkins and fingers crossed for viewing.

Smee- I have Physio rehab exercises to do at home and will have more later when more mobile. Idea is that need to rehabilitate for 2/3 weeks - then will see dr lovely to reduce pain meds and I guess look at scheduling radio but won't do that til bit better.

Hope nurse was good rainbow -am Smile at missing Betty and poor dh.

Big gig continues to mess about at school-parents evening will be a joy next week.

Hello all.

Earth, so sorry to hear about your pain and echo what all the other lovely ladies have said - try to get the pain sorted and you will feel tons better. gentle hugs for you.

I had good news at the breast clinic - the core biopsy revealed my nipple is suffering from nothing worse than a bad case of eczema. Thank goodness for that. Now I can concentrate 100% on DH tomorrow - he goes for a chest scan to see if there is spread, and will then see urologist who will have scans on his computer so will probably be able to give an idea of a treatment plan. I am praying with all my might the chest scan is clear.

I've been in a right state worrying about my results and now DHs. I will be calmer tomorrow once we know what's what.

Love to all you remarkable ladies. xxxx

I am just popping in to throw a GIANT Reubens Spelt Loaf on the trolley since Reuben's minion told me earlier that Spelt is wonderful stuff, full of Vitamins and digestive enzymes AND it is evena good for the Cancer, it is reallya that good YEAH! What with being licked by Sauren and Reuben's Spelt loaf who needs Doctors! though I may have struggled with evil thoughts of Cancer tourettes-

KurriKurri · 29/04/2013 18:49

Figgy - that is great news about your breast biopsy, - I know you will have mixed feelings -relief, but also lots of anxiety about MrF, - he is in my thoughts and I'm sending all the good vibes in my power for a good scan result for him tomorrow xx

Gigs - hope the physio is helping - but from my experience of physio exercises they will also be hard work!

Waves to Copt and bites her Spelt loaf Grin

smee · 29/04/2013 20:11

Nibbling spelt loaf, ta Copt, though would rather have a lick of that drumstick lollie, Kurri Smile

Hip-hip-hooray for Figgy!! I know you've got a lot to get through with your DH, but that's a massive relief. I'm so pleased for you. We'll keep our fingers crossed for your DH. Hopefully you'll get the best news you can after the scan. Keep talking on here. xx

Gigs, physio can be ouch. You'll need many treats.. What's big Gig up to at school? Is she trying to take over the classroom?? Grin

Great to hear first day back wasn't so bad, notJ. Smile

Ash, hope you see the blood boy again. Grin

Gigondas · 29/04/2013 20:42

Figgy -am pleased it was ok but thoughts with you and dh tomorrow.

Yes physio of the no psin,gain type but it helped on my leg.
And snacks good so I will have some Reuben's bread Wink

Big gig not doing work when asked and being wilful-has done this before (and at home) hence are discounting its hospital effect. The words " she is still a long way from where want her to be " had me reaching for the choclit . The heavy guns aka as grandma going to help out at home. We will get there but she is a wily one -it's not her brains (teacher says amongst most able), its her attitude.

HerNextDoorAt21 · 29/04/2013 21:45

Hello it's me again dropping in to say hello

gigs so glad to see you are home and sorry to see your wee girl is not being the best..... My two little ones were very weird when I got out of hospital, I almost felt like it was not my house any more

figgy'that is great news for you and I hope that DH gets equally encouraging news tomorrow

earth I am so sorry to read about your recent stay in hospital,and the things that are going on, I don't really know what to say except I am offering another hand to hold.

I have an appt to get my drains and dressings changed in the morning and hoping it is nice nurse tomorrow or nurse Ratchett turned nice. I get to this stage twice a week and I feel so itchy and although I am told, ther is no noticeable odour, I feel smelly !!!! So always feel better getting new dressings.

I am then off to book our ferries for our holiday to England (Cornwall) for the summer. We have been lucky to get a grant for our DS with Aspergers for a well deserved break. He has had an ongoing obsession with Butlins for years but never been so we are booking to go to minehead for 4 nights on the way to Cornwall..... We have not told him yet and I can't WAIT to tell him ! topsy tried to intercept courier to get grant vouchers today but he would not let her sign for them ( he must have heard about her) so a little bit cheerier here today. I did however decided to give the bathroom a real spring clean today, the first very intensive thing I have done since surgery ..... I am sure tomorrow will see me crippled and wishing I had never done it !

Sometimesiwonder · 29/04/2013 22:06

Woo ho for eczema, Figgy (and who would have thought that could ever be thought a good thing?), I'm sending lots of positive vibes and prayers for a good result for Mr Figgy. X

Great to hear about your holiday Hernextdoor - I love Cornwall.

Hope Earth ( and everyone else) is feeling OK.

holiday sounds fab hnd - I used to long to go to Butlins as a girl and used to get the brochures to show my parents - so quite understand ds's obsession.(we never went Sad)
Spelt is totally delicious in salad - I love the sonora salad at Wahaca which has spelt- yum.
Can I offer some walnut whips ?

OP posts:
Sometimesiwonder · 29/04/2013 22:23

I can ALWAYS go a walnut whip!

smee · 29/04/2013 23:44

Me too Do you suck the middle out? mmmm.. Grin

Holiday sounds great, HND. Bet the kids will love Butlins, I have a friend who always takes her lot and she loves it.

How are you, MAS? Any better?

Night all zz

KurriKurri · 30/04/2013 00:04

Do walnut whips still have walnut in the bottom? - I'm sure they used to but don't think they do now. I still like them though Grin

Butlins and Cornwall sound fun HND, we used to go to Butlins as children and loved it. Hope the dressing change isn't too bad tomorrow.

Night all x

MaryAnnSingleton · 30/04/2013 07:53

Hope everyone has a good day - it's very sunny here so far.

AshokanFarewell · 30/04/2013 08:11

Good morning,

figgy good news about your nipple so now sending positive thoughts for DH's scan today :)

HND the holiday sounds fab, what a lovely surprise that will be, where in Cornwall are you headed? Most of our family holidays have been to different parts of Cornwall, though I don't think we will get that far this year.

Off to the physio in a while, but first I have some tear and share chocolate chip brioche so I suppose I can spare a bit for the trolley Grin

Gigondas · 30/04/2013 08:42

Spoon for walnut whip - that's elegant.

Hnd - holiday sounds brilliant. When I was a kid I used to love holidays on boat on Norfolk broads. Was my absolute pleasure. But butlins also appealed but only ever went for a day with brownies. I think I better get over to stately homes thread to help mend the harm my parents did.

Brioche sounds yum ash- have some on supermarket delivery.

Rainbow- how you doing? I had about of sore night With arm so am dosed up . Think just over did it as was aching.

Candle lit here for figgy dh.

topsyturner · 30/04/2013 09:15

Mas knows I'm a classy bird Gigs Wink

Gigondas · 30/04/2013 09:40

Tom was singing about you wasn't he topsy? lady

KurriKurri · 30/04/2013 10:31

Good thoughts and candles for Mr Figgy today, hope all goes well xx

Not having a very good day here, - things very difficult between Dh and I, we have had a very civilised talk about it all and it all feels a bit end of the road. Sad Who knows? - maybe I am just feeling very down at the moment and it looks bleaker than it is, but it looks pretty bleak Sad

Gigondas · 30/04/2013 10:38

Kurri-am really sorry to hear that things so hard as I know it's been an ongoing battle.

Thinking of you - sending you gentle hugs. If it helps to vent do.

topsyturner · 30/04/2013 11:05

I'm sorry to hear things are bad kk
I don't know what to suggest .
Just here to hand hold x

topsyturner · 30/04/2013 11:06

Gigs Sir Tom ALWAYS sings about me ... Grin

smee · 30/04/2013 11:45

Oh Kurri, that is sad. Is that a new thought or has it been around for a while? I know you've had problems of late, but thinking it might be the end is a big one to get to. (((hugs from me)))) Sad

MAS, glad you're feeling well, though you must be a bit addled to be giving Topsy a spoon for a walnut whip. Grin

Gigs, how are you today? Big gig sounds like a challenge. If it makes you feel any better, I think a lot are when they start school. Good on her for having a bit of attitude though. Smile

Hope you have a good physio session, Ash. Smile

Figgy, I've lit a candle too. Thinking of you and your DH. xx

Waving to all who I've missed. Am trying v.hard not to put the heating on, but it's cold...! I have 2 jumpers and a hot water bottle already... Hmm
