Trips, there is nothing I can say, but we will be here to listen and offer lots of virtual hand holding xxx

Oh, Trips. Massive hugs. It's friggin unfair and cruel that you've had more bad news. I wish life would just give you a break so you and your family can enjoy it without worry and thinking what next is gunna happen! So bloody shite!

Hi Mama, how is Fee? Thank you and you Chops for your lovely words. Today has been a horrible day, just felt so sick all day, the atmosphere is awful. I have told the kids today, kept it as simple as I could to try and reassure them. He has been very low, sat tonight reading the PD website. He said, "have you read this, bloody awful, at least with the cancer there was hope, there is no hope with this". He is very worried for me and the kids. I just feel numb, scared, want to scream from the rooftops that its not fair..............but where would that get me? Feel so bloody sorry for him :(

bubby64 · 19/11/2014 23:47

Trips- I am so sorry, life is just determined to kick you and your DH in the teeth atm. Nothing more I can really say....

Chopstheduck · 20/11/2014 05:54

It's such a lot to take in, Trips. One day at a time x

Bubs, DO take it easy at work. Do you have many shifts lined up?

Shabs, hope yesterday went ok for you.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelemed atm. Parents are coming down this weekend. Found out my friend's LL has given them notice so may be moving sooner than we expected. Bit mean really, friend is emigrating, not sure of dates, so LL has given notice anyway to make sure her house isn't empty for a longer period of time. Kids are very excited at the prospect of a bigger house.

Minisoksmakehardwork · 20/11/2014 08:30

Oh Trips. I am so sorry. ((Hugs)). Nothing I can say will help at all so I'll just say you know where we are if you want to scream from the rooftops.

All is well with me. IBS is the result on my colonoscopy. So phew! And finger is not broken but really very badly bruised. Got some arnica cream to try and speed up the bruise process as it fricking hurts. Also have a cute lil finger tubigrip to stop the kids from just grabbing my hand (ouch! Nearly leapt out of my skin when Joshua did that yesterday).

Jen is still waiting on bloods as the paed was a complete knob!

Morning girls xx

I sorted, saved and threw away for 3 hours yesterday...all I achieved was making a small space in the tiny boxroom. 40 years of precious 'stuff' - every piece of clothing I folded and put in the charity bag had a memory....I decided to leave photo albums till last because I knew I would just look through them and get nothing done. Thought I was safe sorting through Mums desk.

All my sons artwork, photo's (some of which I had never seen) little momentos Sad

We are getting a furniture clearance man to come in and take all the furniture so that will make life easier.

So hard.

Trips - I wish there was something I could do to help...remember I am always here for you - whenever you need me xxxx

Hey ladies.

Sok, IBS is a pain but at least it's managable! I have attacks of it when I'm nervous or anxious.

Had my eye appointment today. It's not what they thought I had but they're still clueless. Apparently I have "old" eyes. Gotta go back for photos (I gotta take a copy home) see Optician yearly and get them to compare the photos any changes and I'm to get a refferal straight away same if I get more symptoms so they can try and "catch it".

Shabs - I remember clearing out my mama's stuff and finding short stories and little notes I had written her, she had kept all the trinkets I had forgotten about. It felt wrong going through her stuff and dad refused to go through it. I'm the same with photo albums could spend ages looking through them! I even found old love letters from my dad apparently they had only been dating 8 weeks before they married and she was 5/6 week PG when she married! Shock

Chops, congrats on the job! I think it makes life easier doing a job you love. I miss working with animals!

Fee is still in a Coma, no changes at all :(

Mama -healing vibes being sent to little Fee.
Shabbs- I remember doing my mum's, I found loads of bits she had kept, including little clay models, love letters from my dad, bits of artwork, and all her photos were in boxes, she always meant to sort them, write on names and put them in albums, but never got around to itSad
Chops - hope your friend gets sorted, living in private rented accommodation can be a real pain. Good luck with the job
Soks -healing vibes to you too, my DH has is, it usually flares up when he is stressed.
Trips - sending all my love to you.
Well, I managed my 2nd shift, did 10 out of the 13yrs today, and back tomorrow, I am quite glad I have a clinic app in the morning at 9.30 as it means the day will be shorter. Then I am next due to go in on Tuesday for a night shiftConfused
Also d's are both fed up as I have told them I am also due to work their b/day.
M is off school, he has an awful irriable cough and sore throat, and it is making him sick, it was cough, cough , cough most of the night last night. I am dosing him up with codine cough linctus, paracetamol and strepsils tonight. I'm sure it's not a chest infection, just one of those awful irritating coughs that you can't get rid of easily. Confused

triplets · 20/11/2014 22:24

Hi all..............wouldnt it be good if we could all meet up at a local pub every Frid night for a few bevvies and a good natter? Sometimes sitting here alone is not enough......... Mama maybe this is natures way of letting Fees little body rest and recover, I am sure he will wake up when he is ready, he has come this far against huge odds. xx Yes clearing out is awful, I did Matthews, Mums, Dads and Mils.......its a heart breaking job I found it tore me apart. Soks relieved to hear you are ok, yes IBS is uncomfortable but manageable, you must have been so worried. I really need some quality sleep, first time in years I have dark circles under my eyes, my head just keeps churning stuff over and over. Love to you all.............kale nits xx

shabbs · 20/11/2014 23:31

Oh my word I just looked in the mirror. I think I have lost quite a bit of weight....I needed to I was a fat blob....BUT I now have a fat belly, saggy bazzokas, loads of wrinkles, grey tired skin, and my hair is breaking off......totally beautiful I have torn the muscle behind my knee so am limping....I am pissed off, way beyond tired, unable to sleep and a head full of pink frogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apart from that I am fine thanks!!! I can only imagine that you feel the same. So much worry and feckin sadness. Feel like screaming, paddying and peeing on the floor.

My parents house is a big semi that is raised up off the main road, a handrail is there to help with the steps up to the house. I walked up them yesterday sobbing with the pain in the back of my leg. Wanted to sit on the top step and throw stones at the traffic going past.

Night girls - sleep well

shabbs · 20/11/2014 23:34

New thread my friends xxxx

MultipleMama · 20/11/2014 23:59

Cannot believe we've gone through another thread! I wonder if we'll have another mysterious poster trying to get the 1000 message Hmm.

Shabs, my love. You are a beautiful wonderful person. Your nature and just the honesty you speak, make me want to better myself as a woman and as a parent. Your exterior has been and experienced so many things that it's trying to catch up with your lively soul. As you always tell me, the wise woman you are, give yourself a break. Scream, paddy, hell - pee on the floor if you feel like it, I'm sure that floor did something to annoy you at some point.

I'm exhausted and think I may head to bed myself. Halo has been really good today, even got a few smiles out of him which is a rare occassion, and Artie has been creating chaos. Maybe I should have baby proofed the house especially no she walks everywhere and manages to hide things like car keys in her toy box...

Night ladies xxx
