This is what happens, jynier

Continue uninterrupted....

Hello all, glad to see again that it's not just me! TY for lovely messages re Mumma, although still can't believe she's not here TBH.

PRACTICAL ADVICE -

Rip - Have you acquired the wonder that is Orajel? Is a high strength dental pain numbing cream (includes local anaesthetic so works amazingly). Re Anti-B's, ideally you need finish course for them to wholly effective, but guess short break in taking won't kill you. Would also suggest Motillium (also known as Domperidone) which is an anti-nausea drug that is avail OTC, IE without prescription. So short break and an anti-nausea med may allow you to get pissed as a newt enjoy a couple of drinks?

Stars - yep, water/hydration is VITAL as codeine will cause build up of boulders savage constipation. The two other things you need are to be on Senna (at least 2 each night), and acquire the very dignified Glycerin suppositories to 'help' get all moving again

On the senna may do the other if nothing moves thankyou hate taking codine but its the only pain reile thats working body got used to Tradmol sigh.

Sending kind thoughts and love to you cafe and Stoic

Not sure if either are available OTC here, once again 'oh to be in the 'kok'
just gearing u[ to go and collect dd from school. They finish at midday on Friday, which is both good and bad.

Hi all

I've been awake with the sweet babu since 1.00. She's in a very strange mood- not really feeding, not wanting to play, just awake wanting cuddles and very clingy. She's very quiet, apart from when I put her down and just staring straight ahead mostly. Most unlike her.

Positive thoughts, hugs, tissues, comfortable silences and offers to listen all night to all those who need it.

cafe I've been thinking about you recently and remembered you and your daughter in my prayers as I knew her birthday was nowish.

I'm sorry no-one remembered her birthday. Not even your semi-outlaws? I know its not the same but know that we did. For you and for your daughter (that's a teddy snuggle not a crappy crisp)

jynier will you be seeing your lovely brood on or for mother's day? I hope you do and are able to have a cheery time. It sounds like your children and grandchildren are quite a tonic for you.

stoic there's nothing I can say. Nothing will make it right again. I'm glad you were able yo give your mumma a funeral that was fitting for her. Your family and your mumma will be remembered in my prayers also.

stars fybogel my dear. It's the only way. Codeine and fybogel go hand in glove.

She's finally fallen asleep in my lap. Very odd. Night/morning all

DS has been up again, there's nothing wrong with him, he just needs a bit of Mummy sometimes. He was asking for Daddy this time though, which may represent progress and was too late for a change of tack. He's better love his birthday cake is all I can say.

Poorly babies, grief and cancer seem to be the passports to this thread, so have a giant hug everyone and a large glass of whatever's appropriate for your time of day.

Bluey - Oh! This thread is not really cheery! Blame SummerDad; he started it!

I treasure the memories of being up with my babies during the night; it was always so special! Can picture it now! Used to sit in a rocking-chair next to our open fire; the rocking-chair is about 3 feet away from me as I write this but no open fire for years! The babies are quite old now (2 of them are in their 40's and any reference to bf makes them puke!).

I have very many happy memories, including my darling younger brother so often leaping towards me and pulling me up for a dance (we laughed and we laughed as he swung me around - we also always did a very good "Twist" together!!!).

I have just been looking at footage of my NZ granddaughter on FB; will meet her for the first time in May, just after her 1st b'day. Think that she is going to be a cracking singer and dancer! Kitty I will be seeing my DD2, Son-I-L and my beloved little grandchildren on Mother's Day. Am actually leaving my house to visit them! Couldn't do that for the last 2 years.

Hope that all of you on this thread are feeling better or, at least, coping with your ailments, sadness and misfortunes!!!

Major mood swing has just taken over! Am so f***g angry that my darling brother has died!!! Don't understand why? He was healthy, no bad habits, really good husband and dad! My SIL is far too young to be a widow! Why? Why? Why?

Morning all a lot to catch up on this thread and I see a lot of new faces.

Morning anyone who is awake. I have been reading the posts and trying to build a picture of all of you. Picking up fragments of your experiences, your dreams, memories, I find it most moving. Although I have not been on the thread long, you all seem so, well, human and honest. Jynier mood swing aside, I share with you grannidom, and can't believe that my baby will be 40 this year. Unfortunately I will not see my tribe this Sunday as they are away and I am working.
and cake for everyone.

Morning everyone new & old!! Sorry I missed the chat!!

PS my eldest is 21 in July - my youngest is 4 in July! I feel old!!

Bluey - true about the passports. but we all have a bad sense of humour and a little insanity to keep us going
I think when you're dealing with something lifechanging like cancer or bereavement it's inevitable to a) lose sleep and b) resort to gallows humour from time to time. we had bereavement (fil) and cancer (DH) all in the same week in July Still reeling, obv.

Hey everyone, looks like people have been really busy on the thread

Hey Dad - we recent nighttime sleepers have missed all the fun!!

thank you for your words of kindness and compassion, was veyr grumpy yesterday sorry

kitty no, nobody remembered, in RL, not my friends (not even my closest ones) not my mother not my aunt not the outlaws, nobody

jynier you guessed the date right on the other thread

thank you all for your support x

haha at kitty's - when I was year 5 I had the most awesome teacher at school (ie age 9,10) - he would let me skive maths because I was better (hoho, those were the days) and let me go and look after stick insects or watch the x files. the funniest thing he ever did was tell the whole class that walkers crisps were made in a factory in yorkshire where they employed scabby boys, who were paid to pick off their scabs all day and stick them onto crisps. everyone believed him. masterful

wonderful memories jynier- THEmidwife you don't look a day over 33, youlucky thing [mental imagery of all]

mrsshrek gosh in one week!! stuff like that tends to come at once, I have found- it's ridiculous, but somehow we get through it ne foot in front of the other

the 'resetting' did not occur

kitty hope DD is back to usual self today

I have decided to stop eating junk - tomorrow! this is my official deadline!! have become sugar-addicted

got a reply today from that helpline I emailed, they say I sound perfect. wondering if I am too unhinged

of course you're perfect, cafe.
you're not a gate so cant be hinged/unhinged

hi everybody here

Eveing all

well im in pain more than normal with dodgy knee as just had to clamber from under duvet ( was snuggled under it on sofa with dp) launch myself to open lounge door to get dafty dog out to kitchen to back door for the balcony so she could throw up.

I nearly did the splits on kitchen floor trying not to fall over the dog sigh.

Well done cafecito

[awe] the splits...
It's earlier than normal for me, I went to bed at about 10 after watching a bit of The Life of Pi, I decided that DD should go when the hyena thing was attacking the zebra. Still none the wiser about the whole story, despite having read the book twice.
The ABX question was taken out of my hands when DH told me the wedding is next Friday, it wasn't yesterday. Woohoo.
today we will be going to the seaside. He didn't really have a proper weekend last week, he spent both days doing reports, so we'll be making up for it. Tomorrow I intend to take my DD to see Oz. Looking foreword to that.
Off now for a fag and some coffee. Happy Saturdays to you all.

Ohh Rip thats good to hear ref wedding.

Love the seaside though plans for the weekend will be to spring clean flat when dp goes to work sat night.

Its a late start 21:30hours so will stay up so can be on the time as him so I get to spend time with him ( snuggled in bed)

Im just waiting to watch the walking dead dp has the remote so cant put tv on mute when the zombies start munching
