SS are useless, the NHS (in our area) is crumbling and being stuck together with fookin' plasters....it is driving me insane - AND Im putting the entire blame for this on shiny faced cameron and Ian Dickhead Smith.....wether it is their faults or NOT. Was just going to apologise to everybody but decided not to!!!! We need a revolution...and I would be happy to front it with a massive banner!

Our local hospital - fantastic place are making 500 staff redundant - 20 of which are going to be doctors...... Have told my Dad that if they have a protest march against NHS cuts in our area me and him are going on it - even if I have to push him in a bleedin' wheelchair.................................

Evening All
Shabs -(((hugs))) swear, scream and protest away, my love, do whatever you need to do.
Trips - your DH is being a bit of an idiot, and well done to your boys. Has Hellas daughter been in touch with either you or her yet?
Mama- lol at your dh, but you must continue to rest.
Rubes- nice to see you darling.
Chops and Soks- how are you both?
Bloody annoyed today, physio rang me at 10am, and said they were moving my 2.30 appointment to 11.30am. I said I couldn't get there for the new time as I had no transport until 1pm. They have now given me a new appointment for 2 weeks time!! Physio once a fortnight is bad enough, once a month is all but uselessAngry
Now sitting here sufferIng with 2 farting dogs, my own fault as I gave them their worming tablets today.Blush

Morning. So, so tired. Zzz zzz zzz zzz.

Jennifer had a really, really bad night. Screaming an awful, ear piercingly agonising scream through the night. Every time it took a good half and hour or so to settle her back to sleep.

It's becoming a regular thing and I've noticed it's worse when she's had a day where she's been more active. We were putting it down to over tiredness but she still has 2, 2 hour naps during the day and eats really, really well so I'm not convinced. All I know is between her and then James getting up from 4 I'm bloody shattered and very, very grumpy today. And desperately trying not to be as its dh's weekend on this weekend so I've got no chance of a lie-in to give me a boost. Early night tonight methinks.

Sorry to be so self-centred as I know there are bigger worries here, and I do really feel for all of you and wish your worries would bugger off and leave you to enjoy your time with friends and family in peace.

Massive hugs, Shabs Flowers
sok, hope you manage to find a few hours sleep at least! I hope Jen settles, it's not nice not knowing what's causing it.
bubby I'm resting and sleeping, promise. I know how you feel, the NHS are annoying! Got my letter through for my eyes earliest appt (first avaliable) was 39 days! Phoned them up, explained and I'm in for 31st May instead. 39 days my ass!

It's only been a few days since I've been home and I'm getting restless, so I've decided to break out the sewing machine and finally get round to decorating the dc's jackets.

Big hugs shabs xxxx Flowers

wt a nightmare bubby!

Soks, I wonder if her joints are getting sore? Ds1 complains of sore joints at night sometimes because of his hypermobility and you mentioned it happens on active days.

Trips, hope ur dk and friend are both doing ok?

I am tired, and glad it is friday!

Sokmonsta · 10/05/2013 20:12

I can't believe they've done that with your appt bubs. Get onto someone as its not going to help your recovery.

Actually, I've said I can't believe it but this was my experience today;

I had a letter moving Jennifer's 10.00 ophthalmology appointment to 11:30. So I rang to ask if they had changed Joshua's appointment on the same day - letters usually come in the same envelope as they are twins.

Joshua's appointment is at 9:45 and hasn't changed. Emily has one on the same day at 10:30 (booked in after the hospital gave me the wrong date and put me down as a non-antendee) and hasn't changed. Jennifer's 10:00 HAS changed to 11:30. They're 15 minute appointments. I've been told to take all 3 in at the same time. The mind boggles. Unless they have just theoretically moved Jennifer's appointment to accommodate Emily's.

The only other thing I can think of is Emily and Joshua's appointments are likely to be more complex that Jennifer's as I know Emily is due an eye test this time round. Joshua's is also more likely to be more involved as his eyes are worsening, but unless our optician has informed the hospital it's unlikely they already know, and he would have told me if he had done.

Sokmonsta · 10/05/2013 20:15

Chops I wondered that too. So I asked my gp when I was there today. She put it down to over tiredness. But Jennifer still slept a good amount during the day, although was twitchy.

Tonight she has gone down ok. A few wails but if it is a joint thing, she has been less active today as she's been in the pushchair/car mostly from 8:30-2:00, then a little roaming time where she mostly laid on the floor and cushions playing with some soft toys. But she has been happy not doing anything if you follow me.
