Morning everyone:)

Another beautiful day here, the birds were singing their hearts out earlier and there's still quite a lot of chattering going on now:)....(l started this message at 8.30)

Had a phone call from Phil at 4am,the hospital had called for him to go in, Jean was in a bad way with her breathing, she's stable now!! His neighbour took him in.
Vic will see them later.

Sorry about my message yesterday ranting on:((
Back later

Morning my lovelies :-D

Firstly thank you for the lovely cards, messages and the money you sent to Ann for me, I was absolutely delighted and suprised :-D it means a lot when you have the 'ump..lolol and to Ann of course.

I finally escaped by threatening to leave against medical advice! They soon arranged for the gastro enterologist to see me after I screamed that at them. Honestly what was the point in keeping me in isolation? I was well enough to go home and have hubby look after me. I wasn't going to go and infect half of Ceredigion was I?

As I had no mobile signal in that room I couldn't talk to daughters or get hold of son in Guatemala and I was desperate to speak with them. Girls couldn't visit as youngest is due to deliver on 8th May and eldest has MS so we wouldn't risk their health. Hence me wanting to get out to make contact.

I am getting stronger and have my apetite back. I am finding it difficult to sit comfortably as I have to get used to the different placement of the metalwork and new bone wiring. 12 weeks on double crutches and I have a wheelchair for when I am knackered.

I was reading back about Jean's infection, bloody hell, I do wish some medical professionals used common sense in place of a patient care plan!!!!! One size does NOT fit all.

Today's target is to get me into the car *gulp* this is the only time I wish I was vertically challenged, long legs are a total pain :-(

So, thank you so much to everyone again for your support, it really did mean a lot and I have my cards proudly displayed :-D The money will be used for some outrageous treat, maybe I will have my hair dyed purple and pink ;-)

Love to all

Sue (in a sunny Cardigan Bay)

Evening all ,
So far no news for bf and from interview he is applying for loads though so hoping something comes up.
Bf came with me over to an elderly aunts I try to see her as much as I can and bf laughs as clearly I am the favourite of the family lol
Had our first Joe's ice-cream of the year best thing to have in summer in Swansea :-D
I have a feeling chav town will kick off this weekend , yesterday I wasn't well and went for nap at 6pm my bf said all he could hear in garden was her screaming at some bloke and the words used my bf refused to tell me as he said it was disgusting I woke up and saw police car outside so think they went next door .Today she was out in garden with kids her dad and her bro and think his kids started drinking midday ! I had issues as can't get through to complaint team in council and the main desk I do get through to inform me it's not their job to contact that team GRRRRR. My dad is asking some lawyer friends what can be done as they are breaking notice given , they are anti social in other ways and making neighbours life hell . I feel like crying as I want to sort garden but feel like I can't go out there as I might flip .


Sandie : Sounds like you got loads of pics and nice memories it's nice to look at them every so often :-)

Shaun: Well builder done good job so far just need to paint it but that will be next week now :-)

Von: Glad you had fab time :-D

Jude: Sorry to hear about you and sis the part about remembering how you deal with that is really your own way .It sounds positive about staying in though.
Jean seems to be positive yet negative same time as in what's happening to her , you're doing such a fab thing being there for both her and Phil <3

Happy sunny day to all mentioned or not mentioned .

Bethan <3 <3 <3

Good evening everyone:)

Its been a beautiful day here, blue skies, sun and a gentle breeze, with some fluffy clouds aswell:)

Sorry about yesterday, yes it was me sister bless her. l took her to a counselling session which l was able to be part of (next week its a group session). She did very well and talked, although some vital bits were left out or played down.....l did'nt say anything,, but l must say l am still angry and l think that boils down to the GP back last yr when he was called to her house and after chatting to her l went to let him out and he said "she is manipulating everyone"...that has stuck in my head as being she is using us all. l'm pretty sure l understand that she does not do this on purpose, but its still hard to come to terms with because she has done this most of her life, but that is because of the life she had as a child....so why am l so angry still?????...l seem to rub counsellors , Drs etc up the wrong way....yesterday he seemed to understand me but l could tell he was'nt pleased, the atmosphere changed....l will keep challenging sister and questioning her. l worry about her medication and the fact she lies about taking it when l know she has not....he and others say..step back, but how can l?? l took her to the Drs last Fri and l asked her for the tablet packaging to show him, she had thrown it in the bin and when l looked she had NOT taken 5 am tablets....grrrrrr....she needs to take these tablets so the Dr can get a reading of how she is say after a month of taking tabs correctly, but this never happens, and l am supposed to step back.

Spoke to her this evening and for the first time in l don't know how long she made herself stay indoors....yessssss....and watch a film, and she felt OK doing it....yesssss. The counsellor said "stop wandering" as part of his conclusion from the session and that is so right, she panics about staying indoors, horrendous, all l hear is what am l going to do this afternoon, tomorrow etc, can l see you later/tomorrow...and atlast she has found that it is ok to stay in!!

l saw Auntie Jean this afternoon and she was pretty much the same as before, her neighbour took Phil yesterday and caught me as l was going home, she is as worried as we are!! BUT l asked to speak to the Dr today and he was great. Her blood thingies are high 50!! and the next test showed it was abit higher, so they must get that down before she can be sent to the home or a re-hab hospital.Phil has asked specifically for her to go to the home because the re-hab hosp is way too far to go.....so we could be seeing her at the Home by end of next week and once the bllods are sorted she should be feeling better in herself....lets hope so ah??
l asked a nurse to straighten her as she was lop sided, she was asking jean something and l said "you can't understand her can you"....no she said...grrrrr...neither can we alot of the time, she has thrush in her mouth and its difficult to talk!!!! Oh she said and went and got her a mouth wash, then she said Jean your teeth seem to move, maybe that does'nt help your speech....(GOD HELP ME)...Phil said but they don't move they are her own teeth...she went bright red. l have to cut her nails, so Monday l will soak them in soapy water, clean and cut them and pray l dont cut her!!

Off to watch the final of materchef ....l so hope Natalie wins:)

Sorry not asked how everyone is, too raped up in me, not good!!

Take care everyone.

Evening all
Well we are back after a brilliant time. Luckily the sun was shining when we arrived
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Do hope everyone has had a good day and those who are poorly are feeling better.
I'm sure if the weather stays good we will all feel better.

I should have tried to keep awake today but sadly about 11am my eyelids dropped and I spent a good few hours asleep. :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0
Being on the train we crossed two time zones so had a bit off adjustment and the flight home was shorter.
I'm off to get some more zzzzzz now
Will catch up tomorrow
Take care everyone

Sorry it hasn't been a good day for you Jude, hope a glass of vino will help relieve any tension for now. Just guessing on the reason.
Son's interview is on Wednesday , I think it was Beth's bf interview on Monday.

I am going to throw this key board thro the window it's doing a ' runner ' either backwards or forwards. I'll have to have hubby to look at it tomorrow and give it a good dust down at least.. Can't do it now obviously.

Best I post this and disconnect it and put another one on.

Take care all

luv

Been a funny old day emotionally .
I've picked up the last copies of the last photos of mum and dad together to send with others to sis
Weird that it was on his birthday , they were ready to pick up yesterday and I forgot !
I'd been trying to find a different photo my sis wanted when I found the last one of our parents together. It's lovely.

Didn't think she had a copy ...so she'll have one now. :-) :-)

Yes Jude~~I think I've got most of them them all sorted now

Tho I've still got a ton of albums and the old Scholl shoe box with the black and whites to go thro !! If she asks for another specific photo.

Hi Shaun and all

Just got a letter from my MP he said he is looking into my case and will get back to m as soon as he finds out whats going on. I got letters Friday telling me my rend and council tax has been stopped. I went to council yesterday and they said they let me know more in a few days.

Sorry to hear Jean isnt to well still. Give her my love when you speak to her next.

I have been busy this morning putting clean covers on bed and sorting out coffee table as full of paper work. Then done few other bits, think i over done it abit, so resting now. Bu it needed to be done as Teri cant get over to help me.

Went to hospital with Duane yesterday about his metal heath term, he had to go back today so they can see if he needs his tables changed. Just waiting for him to phone me to see what they said. His eye is looking alot better, but his hayfever has started bad so told him to go to his doctors get something for it.

Thinking of all who are having bad time at mo. {{{{HUG}}}}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to you all

Hazelx

Afternoon everyone:)

Tadge windy but a nice day with some blue sky again:)
Shaun...sounds like my blowing did the trick for you:)
Hope you are taking care??

Diane...l am so sorry you had a bad time at the JSA office, but that lady was kind to get you a Dr appointment sorted. The tablets will prob take a few weeks to kick in but they will help, you've tried for such along time without them.Take care...xx

Sandie..yeh pleased to see your son has a nice new suit:))
l was getting worried all last week cause Vic had'nt tried his on for the christening, he did so on the day!! he could have put on weight since last yr when he bought it...mennnnn!!!!

Sallie...thanks for telling us about Dutch, l saw Purples thread too and have added to it. She must do as she is told!!


Our Jean...twice now we have asked them to sort Jeans nails out, they are dirty and very long, but because of her being diabetic we and the nurses can't do anything!!!!! So we have asked if someone can....nothing will happen l know it won't, she would hate it if she realised. All she did yesterday was fiddle with tissues and try to tidy her trolly top, she would'nt eat, then we managed to get her to eat a bannana, she needs to drink but needs prompting, they have'nt the time to do that:((((
Lets hope Vic finds her in a better state today!!??

l was at Oxfam this morning initially to do the till, but the manager had it mixed up, so l thought l would do some more online stuff...yeh rite, the online system was down so could'nt do that.....and l had just managed to find items and the photo's that matched too, which is getting more difficult to do, god knows why though...grrr.......so l am home now and about to start once again to sort my craft room out.

l'm going to add a photo of something l have made....need advice on how to finish it, please!!

Hope everyone is ok, take care those who are poorly:)

You'll have to forgive me if I don't post a lot today
....today would have been dad's birthday (100 ) and FIL died on his birthday.
Dad died when he was 90 in 1993, FIL died when he was in his70's in 1998.

<3 <3 <3 <3

I'll pm you Di as I wouldn't put any any thing medically related on here.
Got the right time to you ring you now too ;-)

Finally some one has seen sense for you ...they aren't all ars*les in the DWP
Some and a lot are ,that's why I quite.

I'm sorry you were distressed , pleased tho that advisor had the good grace to take you apart from an open interview and speak to you in private.
I've always said that's how it should be.
I wouldn't want to to discuss mine or my family affairs to people listening behind,
It's like the bank ...,tho you can ask for a private interview there and can do in the DWP
