General Chat

Think we are all having problems sallie, despite GR telling us that nothing is wrong.

Hi, You are not theonly ones having trouble, I tried to get on had a problem with not able to post anything .... cant be us that are all wrong.....

We managed to get the shopping done before the rains came and stayed...
so I went for a nap...is it ever going to stop??????

Mo let us know how Roly got one please,


Ann if you dont mind me asking were do you come from originally.


love Jean x

Hi Jean, born and bred in Fareham Hants. Moved to Essex in 1968, then to Gloucestershire - forest of dean 1973, then to Bedfordshire 1981, back to gloucestershire 1992 where we came to rest. OH from Devon.

Why??

I was convinced Ann, that I knew you from my neck of the wood, you have a double.....lol.....feel a though I have known you a long time, Daff favours a friend of mine especially with the hair cut......

Well, I am not sure where you are or come from jean but I think it is up north!!!! A bit of a way from Hampshire Lol!!! I have been told before that I have a double.

Hello my friends.
Well after two and a half hours,at the hospital. I am pleased to say that Roly is sort of o.k. The specialist told us that everyone,has fat in the liver,and that he was not concerned with the cyst. But Roly had to have seven phials of blood taken. They are testing him for hepatitus B+C,and several other things. But if we hear nothing from them,then he does not have to worry,and they will do regular blood tests to keep an eye on his liver.
He has been told to stop drinking,and to lose some weight. We have been on a low fat diet for years,since his heart attack,so it's not the food
thats causing his problems.
It will break his heart,not to have a couple of pints,but he must listen to what he has been told.
The thing is,I dare not nag,as he is the sort to go an do what he shouldn't
if he is nagged at. I have moaned so many times in the past,about his drinking,not that he is an alcoholic,that sometimes it's like banging your head against a brick wall. But he must stop,not just for his own health,but
he has to realise that I am here,and he has kids and grandchildren to think of.
Right thats my moan over. I hope everyone is well. Love to you all. Mo xxx

Hi All,

Mo, so pleased that all went at the hospital for Roly. Lets hope that will be that now, apart from keeping an eye on him. I've been thinking about you both today.

Sue, hope your son is home and that he is okay.

Debbie, how is your Dad? I hope he has had the results of his blood tests, and that it is something that can be sorted.

Huia, sorr to sound a bit dim, but I'm not sure what you mean about the photos. Have you been to see Phil today? If you have I hope that he was alright, and that your visit went well.

Just finished our dinner, having a browse round the boards, and then back to scrapping.

Thinking of you all.

Speak to you all tomorrow.

Love and best wishes.

Sallie.xx

Hello All, Glad the hospital appointment went well Mo. Difficult for Roly to give up his drink, especially if he goes to meet friends at the pub when he has a drink. we like a drink ourselves most evenings, it is a way we relax, it would be hard if we were completely forbidden it. I suppose he can't even have a half pint. Anyway, hopefully he will see that not to give up will shorten his life. Maybe better to wait and see if he adjusts to it on his own to keep the peace!!!!!

Hi, all, Glad the hospital trip turned out well Mo, I find I cant stand the taste of wine now, sad coming from one who could drink for England, not boasting .... I used to have market stalls and we all used to go out, always ended in all night sessions ....not good... so one day decided this wasnt a great idea and just stopped, havent drank since , only the odd shandy....just dont like the taste.... but always have some in the house so we can offer it to any visitors....J loves his wine, I love Milk....lol....Roly will no doubt make hisown mind up....Dont Nag him......like you do to me.....xxxx

Ann , I come from Lancashire born and bred, never lived anywhere else would love to live in a villagey type atmosphere..... we go to a small town nearby to do some shopping and it still has a village aura about it....now that for me would be lovely.......

sleep well everyone... love Jean xx

Sallie and all,

The website I mentioned you have your own page and can put your photos on it. Then I discovered on the chat page I can copy one of the photos to the thread. They come up beautifully, in fact they block out some of the ads at the side. I have put quite a few photos on the thread, about every second time I post, it makes it look more colourful and interesting.

I visited Phil again yesterday. Once again he wanted to come home and after an hour of the same old 'lets go home' 'no' routine and him trying to find his way out I was in tears again. He wasnt wearing his top plate which is loose since he had lost it for about 3 days so it was suggested I get some polident for him and drop it off some time, so I hike the 100 miles back to the pharmacy, bought some, and hike the 200 miles back to the ward, just in time to see his sister and niece go through the door. I popped in briefly to say hello but didnt stop. I didnt want any more arguments from Phil. Handed the polident to the nurse and left. When I got back to Papakura (by train) I drove to a fairly quiet parking building and lay down on the bench seat of the ute with a couple of pillows and slept for about an hour. I then went and did a bit of shopping and then had a nice roast dinner and went to the church where we have choir and sat trying to read the paper until it was time for choir. I didnt stay the full 2 hours. When I got home I was dog tired so went to bed but tossed and turned until midnight so got up and had a sleeping pill. I then slept for 7 and half hours. Feel quite a bit better this morning. I am seeing my doc at 1.30 this afternoon about my stuffed up crusty feeling nose. Not sure if it is connected to the dry eye the optometrist says I have. Dry eye? I can still shed plenty of tears!

Breakfast over, must do the dishes from the last 2/3 days.

Huia.

I think the site is OK now, it certainly seems better and this was the message I got this morning from support:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This problem has now been fixed. Please go back to the site and try again.

Please let me know if you require further assistance.

Let us hope it stays OK.

Keep your chin up Huia. I know how hurt you must be feeling,about Phil,
but you are doing the right thing for him,and most importantly for yourself.
Have they done the assessment on him yet?.
