Today I am mainly eating toast

Mum stayed last night, so I havent had to get the boys up and they are all playing in the garden. Wish it was a bit sunnier though

Hi All

Wendy & Mad - hope you are feeling ok.

First day of hols started with a lie in until 7am

House is a tip and I have to work later so plan to do 2 x 15 min bursts.

TheMadHouse · 06/04/2009 14:28

Afternoon All

I am back and will be keeping the stoma bag on and also the padding on the left. Have more anti'B's and will remain on some long term as long as I am losing fluid and have open wounds.

Swabs etc have been taken, but all is OK

I am back on Thursday to see the big boss and then will be back weekly possibly. Phew at least that is out of the way.

I have started bolegnease in the slow cooker

Boys have been playing in the garden all day which is great.

dinasaw · 06/04/2009 15:46

Hello everyone!
Can I join in? The house is a tip and I need to get on top of it while I am off work.
EHM - you had a gardening question. Can you see any roots coming out of the holes in the bottom of the pot? If not you don't need to repot it yet. If it is getting tall you can put a stake in the pot to tie it to and keep it on a sunny window sill.

sagacious · 06/04/2009 16:09

Dinasaw of course you can!
Its a bit quiet on here today I'd imagine due to the holidays

Baths for dc's

EHM · 06/04/2009 18:02

dinasaw welcome & thanks for the tip.Yes 1 long root visable & needs a stake for support
grouchy you ok, posts sound very down?
saga lolly stick wouldn't be long enough but thats for the advice.
TMH THis isn't what you wanted to happened today is it? Do they think the wounds are likely to leak long term & not heal? Glad they are keeping a close eye on you. Good to read boys have had fun in the garden.

DH playing footie after work. so I just about to bathe ellie & put her to bed. Had a lovely afternoon walk & park. Friend didn't come as her dd developed temp. So once ellie in bed I am going to have mussels with garlic & white wine. If I can be bothered will iron if not can wait until tomorrow Maybe go to bed Ellie & read my new book.

EHM · 06/04/2009 18:03

Hope all are well in the wolf household?

Tortoise · 06/04/2009 19:00

Hello.
Birthdays as a single Mum are officially crap.

TheMadHouse · 06/04/2009 19:00

EHM I am not sure what I wanted TBH. I was sort of hoping for a miracle and all to be well all of a sudden. They have no idea how long I will keep leaking for - but has been a week already and is showing no signs of slowing.

The feeling is that I will need to be on Anti'b's until I stop and the wounds heal - it is pants cause it means no swimming or fake boobs till I heal. I look like a pregnant flat chested pale coldstotted loon . DS1 asked if there was a baby in my tummy and hoped it was a sister

We have had a really nice afternoon. Played in the garden more and then did playdough.

Me and mum bathed the boys - I only watched though

DH got home in time for us all to eat together

Welcome Dino Groucy How was the assesment? I am in awe of your charity shop prowess. When are you in Whitby?

Prof You turning in to a mokney?

Sag How is the no alcohol thing going?

May be back later
