Brummie thoughts and prayers to you @WilsonMilson xx

I've not posted before but you are such a superstar, despite this terrible shit show you've found yourself starring in. No-one sensible here doubts your account, it's only the professional troublemakers making issues, so you can confidently ignore them.

I really hope things go well for you tomorrow, and that your loved ones are supported and close by - your mum and boy, too, soon.

I also hope you get at least 4 small meals a day all served under bloody silver cloches, a lovely private room, and plenty of staff dedication.

You’re an absolute warrior,
keep fighting Pamela. Where there
is hope. Xxx

Prayers to you and your family ❤️

Dear Pamela,

This is the prayer our church is saying for you in the morning. I hope it's all right. x

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to ask you to lift up our sister Pamela into your loving and compassionate hands. You see the depth of her beauty, not only in her outward appearance but in the kindness and love that radiates from her soul.

Lord, we humbly ask for your divine intervention as Pamela faces this operation tomorrow in London. We surrender her into the care of the skilled medical professionals, believing that you guide their hands and wisdom. We pray that this operation will serve as a means to extend Pamela's precious time on this Earth, granting her more moments of joy with her loving husband and son, Jacob.

Amidst these trials and uncertainties, Lord, we ask that you draw near to Pamela and her family. Wrap them in the warmth of your love, providing comfort, courage, and an unwavering sense of peace. Surround them with a community offering support, understanding, hope and prayer.

Finally, Heavenly Father, may Pamela and her family be filled with unwavering faith, knowing that regardless of the outcome, you are with them every step of the way.
In the name of Jesus, we pray,
Amen.

I get up in the morning and check your thread
My work colleagues ask 'How's Pamela?'
My Boss asks 'How's Pamela?'
I go for my break and a different set of colleagues ask 'How's Pamela?'
I get in from work and my teenaged children ask me 'How's Pamela?', or 'How's your Irish lady mum?'
My 82yr old , very very poorly Mum asks me daily 'How's Pamela?'

You are my very first thought on waking, and on turning in for the night - and at least every 30 minutes during the day.

You will never know the effect that you have had on so many people on Mumsnet, but you have to believe that you have helped so many in unimaginable ways. Whether that be by them googling symptoms for a diagnosis, or by pushing for better care..

My boys are 17 & 18. My daughter is 23. We are all invested in your story, and hope you get more time with your precious boys and Mum. We have had many deep conversations as a result of you posting your story

Your surgery will hopefully buy you time and strength to enable you to do the things you need to do, and the things you need to put in place.

I would love to know more about you. I'm sure that we would have been great friends - however, save your strength for more important things and get well❤

All the best wishes and love in the world.

Dear Pamela, sending you some lucky peonies and very, very best wishes for the absolute best outcome possible, today and in future!!.
