The Goose and Carrot Pub Thread

Everyone is welcome, and the thread disappears after 90 days.

Thank you for the last thread @lougle. I hope the doctor was helpful and DD2 isn’t feeling too rubbish this morning.

DS1 has used the last of his EOTAS hours today. There will be at least a few weeks before the EHCP is finalised and funding restarts. He will hopefully have his operation during that time, but it is still going to feel like a long time without that provision.

The worst has happened. DS has died. I can't talk now. Please pray for us if you do that. I probably won't come back just now or reply to DMs.

I am so so sorry @drspouse I will pray for you all. If there's anything at all I can do please message, can give you my phone number or email too.

Drspouse I’m so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sending much love and strength for the coming hours and days. I will light a candle for your precious DS. Here if you need anything.

So very, very sorry @drspouse. All my love to you and lighting a candle for your ds.

I am sorry drspouse how very sad. Praying for you all.

@drspouse Yes, I am very sorry to hear that. So much grief. May he rest in peace.

@drspouse I am thinking of you and will pray for you all. I am so sorry for the loss of your son.

@drspouse I’m so so sorry to read, will think of you & your family there are no words that can help your pain just know we are all hear thinking of you.

@drspouse I am so incredibly sorry and sad to read your post. I do and will pray for you all. I won't DM you, but please know that I'm sure any of us here would be very happy to receive any DM if you want or need to send it. Much love to your family.

@drspouse I will pray for you all. For the days ahead and for the now.

and Lougle is right here for you if you ever need it.

If you're reading tonight, @drspouse , you're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you manage some sleep.

Sharing your loss with us is something that will never be forgotten. I echo the other geese, we are here and no reply is expected.

DD2 is in surgery. The hospital called last night to say that they may not be able to operate because there were power outages, but they managed to fix the issues. They put her first on the list, so she was asleep by 9.15. Hopefully out of surgery by 10.45.

Thinking of you @drspouse

Hope the surgery goes well for DD2 @Lougle Great she is first on the list.

The power has gone down again. Back up generators won't fire. They have battery back up for now and DD2 already under and being operated on. Everyone else is being cancelled.

Good job she was first @Lougle Hope it solves things and she recovers well.

Gosh @Lougle I hope the op goes smoothly & power is restored.
We’ve had power cuts all around us & although it was stormy we’ve had a lot worse so no idea what’s going on at national grid but the dry weather had weakened a lot of trees locally which came down in the gusts.

Im finally coming out of 3weeks of virus along with DH it really had knocked us for six I’m assuming it was Covid from how we felt. Hoping to rebuild strength now as been so faitugued by it. DD2 is having a few days off then back on revision with exams starting next week. DD1 has several uni interview invites lined up (it’s a healthcare related degree so interview req.) which has been a big boost to her confidence I just hope she can convert the one she really wants but that’s not until Feb. The two gap years to get related work experience have really paid off.

i woke up thinking about @drspouse and just hope you all have some real life support.

lougle I hope the operation goes smoothly and is successful. So good that she was first on the list.

Jumpersfluffy glad that you are finally out of the virus. Good luck to Dd1 with her interviews.

I am still thinking of you Drspouse.

drspouse you are in my thoughts today.

@Lougle I hope DD2 is out of surgery and the operation went well despite the power issues.

@JumpersFluffy good luck to DDs.

@Lougle I missed dd was in surgery. I hope she is out the other side and recovering. It’s been a long path to get here.

I too woke thinking of Drspouse and her family.

Ds has a temperature and it is pouring with rain, what a grey day.

It seems inadequate to say that I'm thinking of you @drspouse . If there is anything we could do, consider it done. I hope you're getting lots of support in real life.

@Zzzzzs sorry DS has a fever. I hope he's ok.

@JumpersFluffy I hope the interviews go well.

DD2 is out of surgery. They couldn't do the cholangiogram because her bile duct was teeny tiny so they couldn't get the catheter in, but she's fine. She made the surgeon tell her how beautifully small and floppy her liver was, to make her feel that her milk diet was worth it.

@Lougle May DD2 have a smooth and speedy recovery!

That’s good @Lougle i hope her recovery goes smoothly. I was unlucky that I got a small infection in the port wound which sat right where my bra band was and delayed my recovery a bit. Not an easy place to heal when you have a larger chest & need even a soft bra to leave the house.

We were both thinking about @drspouse yesterday and today.
