D'ya ever wonder... [enter witty phase here]

[MultipleMama]

We fill these up fast!

Just in from a memorial service for my old gp who meant the world to me, the kindest man I have ever known. I met Ian when I was 12 weeks pregnant with Matthew and having a threatened miscarriage, he was the gp on call for "booking" in. I told him I had been bleeding for two weeks and that his colleague my dr had told me to "run up and downstairs to make the baby come away"!. He told me to go home to bed and he would come out to me. He became my gp from that day on, saw me through that pregnancy, Matthew. Then in 94 that awful day, he came to my house and just sat on my sofa, in tears. He came often in those dreadful days/weeks/months and was just so caring and supportive It was one of those visits that he came and talked to me about trying ivf and as you know the rest is history I remember him saying to me, " I know you young lady, if you get to 50 and have never done anything about it you will regret it for the rest of your life". The day I went and told him it was triplets he just let back his head and roared. He retired 14 years ago, but sadly became ill soon after with Parkinsons, very cruel. May he rest in peace. xx

I haven't seen it but had seen it advertised, and going by my dad's reaction I think I'm going to avoid it! But I did give the DC extra kisses this morning

Petrov has taken the A-team out today. Halo adores him, so I may pawn them off on him for a few more days .

trips, he sounds like a rare gem! It can be so hard to find GPs that really do care these days. And so unfair that life can be so harsh for such lovely people x

Fingers crossed for no infection, bubby. Burned skin is so susceptible to it though :(

Had another eye appointment today to hear my results from the eye scan and dye, all came back normal. The specialist I saw think's he knows what I have but it's uncommon and he only knows one other patient with it and took 4 lab assistants to find what blood test I need. I'll find out on 20th if I'm positive for it. Damn, and I just thought it was eye scarring :( urgh.

I hope it's not infected, bubs. And it heals cleanly and quickly!

Only just seen your post, Trips. He sounds like he was a wonderful man and loved by many. How lovely you have those stories of him. All Doctors and people in general, should be more like him. My condolenses to his family and friends xxxxx

Trips- he sounds like a wonderful caring person. xxxx
Mama- I hope the eyes are ok, and whatever is causing it is treatable
Went to hospital today, not infected, but one area is becoming sloughy and therefore not healing as well, so they are trying another type of cream and dressing, one which, if it had been me, I would have used in the firstplace, oops!-( oh the curse of knowing too much)
On the plus side, I have just received the paperwork from the unions solicitors and it has confirmed that my union will cover any and all fees that may occur when the Solicitors act on my behalf for the claim, so that's a weight off my mind.

Bubby, glad you had some good news at least, and are healing slowly. xx

I did cycle leader training yesterday! I had great fun, and I am really looking forward to leading rides for women with Breeze cycling. I can pass my obsession onto others!

Also though, I have been offered funding to become a bikeability instructor, so I might even end up with a job out of it all! Eek!! Rubes are you out there?!

Hope every one else is having a good weekend?

Just a quick update before I go back; Fee had a Grand Mal seizure this morning and fell into coma but he is responsive to stimuli. Doctors are unsure but cautiously optimistic.

Decided I'm gunna disappear from the internet awhile. Focus on my kids instead of my own negative thoughts. Christ, they deserve better than the miserable mama they've had to deal with recently! Xxx

Everyone had a good weekend? Xx

Mama. You know we are here to listen to you, positive or negative. So if you need a safe space to hide your feelings then remember we are here.

And I hope Fee continues to be another little fighter.

We understand Mama, but you know we are here if you need us xxxxx

Owwwww! I slipped off the kerb on my way home from school. Properly skinned one hand and done something to my finger in the other. Not to mention having to clean my coat and trousers as they're covered in mud (bloody wet weather). Mostly though I'm completely embarrassed as I was talking to another mum when it happened.

aw poor soks!

That's exactly the sort of thing I would do though...

Poor hurty finger and hand still :( off to hospital for a delightful appt tomorrow so dh has suggested we pop into a&e while we're there if it's not too busy. Otherwise I'll be ringing mum to take me to miu on wed.

Currently trying to drink a delightful preparation ready for tomorrow. Tastes bloody vile. Thank god for being allowed to drink 'clear' fizzy drinks. Cola is a godsend.

Anyhow, how is everyone else doing today?

oh poor you Soks, don`t know what you are having done tomorrow but I hope it all goes well. I have a stomach full of nerves, 10am tomorrow dh has his first appt with the neurologist, I have told myself that there is going to be no other diagnosis than the one we are dreading, Parkinsons, feeling very sick and scared and fed up :( Almost 7 years of cancer and now this.................
Also today Thomas got his marching orders for the Army, March 15th :( I am sooo dreading him going :(

Colonoscopy. 2 hours to drink moviprep earlier and nothing. Apparently I should have been shitting through the eye of a needle ages ago.

Am lying awake with poorly (and even more swollen) finger thinking this could be fun in the morning.

Trips. I'm keeping you close in thoughts and hoping tomorrow is gentle on you and dh.

Thomas' marching order are the day after my birthday. Feels such s long way away but no doubt it will too soon be here

Still awake and still nothing here...

Finally...!

soks! Hope it all goes well for you today and your hand is a bit better.

Trips, thinking of you today.

My eye hurts. Somehow a contact lens broke in my eye. By the time I managed to recover the fragments, my eye was itchy and sore - think I have prob scratched it. I'm also rather snotty. So I missed swim training yesterday and think I will be taking it a bit easier today. Mountain biking tomo, first aid training on friday and then my parents are coming down for the weekend. I cannot get ill! I also have various bits of furniture to collect - starting to acquire a few bits from freegle ready for the move that hopefully should be going ahead in the new year!

Sat in the hospital. Nil by mouth for me while dh chomps on chocolate next to me (told him he's a meanie ). Not even going down until nearly 3 o clock!

Still got poorly finger. Miu tomorrow if mum can take me. Not worth staying for a & e here when we leave and miu will be closed.

how evil! I hope he is going to make that up to you later! I'd be demanding a take away at the very least

Trips - Im so sorry only just came on here. Hope the appointment for H has gone OK. Im here if you need to talk love.

Chops, Soks - ouch for both of you. Hope things are soon looking up for you.

Full day at Mums clearing the house tomorrow.

We're getting fish and chips on the way home

In the end was fetched at half 1 ish. So much earlier than expected. Just sat waiting to see surgeon and be sent home now. Dh is bored stupid. I've been snoozing (and could still snooze some more). Mmmmm. Sedation. Almost as good as gas and air.

Result!

Hope it all went well in the end, and you get your finger sorted.

Shabs, that must be so hard. :( Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Trips, hope today went as well as it could do x

My bikeability training is all set to go now, childcare from a neighbour arranged. Will be so weird, a week of having to be someplace between 9-5!! I'm so excited though, it's the sort of job that will suit me down to the ground.

Soks - hope the results from the colonoscopy are good, moving prep is horrible!! Also hope your finger has been sorted xxxx
Trips- hope things have gone well with d's appointment, oh, how you must be dreading Thomas going, but hope he is excited.
Chops- you in the wars too, what are you lot doing, it's supposed to be me who has the accidents!!
Shabbs - ((((hugs)))), it's horrible house clearing in circumstances like you are in.
I went back to work today, felt so sore after a couple of hours, but stuck it out until 4 pmsl, that's 8 hrs today, I will see how I do on Thursday. DH and DS's are dissapointed as I found out I am down on offduty for 8-2.30 on both Xmas eve and day, but I am off boxing day. Never mind, can't be helped.

:( it is Parkinsons:( our appt was 10am, didnt get in to see her until 10.50am we were both shaking by that time. She spent 45 mins with us, did several tests and observations and then told us there was no doubt. She said she didnt believe the chemo had caused it, just age related and bad luck. She has put him on a cocktail of meds already and been very honest about the future :( Feel drained tonight and very sorry for him and actually just a little for myself. The kids have taken it in their stride, just like the cancer, though you never know what goes through their minds. Wish I could win the lottery now, just so we can do all the things we still wanted to do, whilst we can. Cruel.
Soks I hope your news is good........
We all seem to be going through tough times.........
Shabs, once it is done you will feel relieved, its hard though. xx
