Had a phone call from Joyce, she has been to docs and has to have injections of B12, a lot but can't remember, and also has to wear support stockings for her legs and feet. She said to thank everyone who left messages but she won't be on for a while as she's not well enough and wants to rest. She has also got to go for her heart tested tomorrow.
Diebetis for her is ok but Jan still has high blood pressure.
I'm going out now but will answer any pms when I get back.

Thank you everyone for your messages to Joyce. Got a pm off her this morning, she's not well so won't be on for a couple of days, I think the heat is getting to her as it is me and a lot of others.

Joyce you have let no one down. You have worked so hard, and hit a target I would never of expected, so well done Joyce. You are due at Diabetic clinc, your beloved grandaughter is having problems with her pregnancy and you are so far away, your other g daughter is coming to visit so you have a lot on your plate at the moment. Concentrate on you and Jan for a change. Don't get upset love. You have to rest a bit! I'll call you as soon as I can xx

Joyce, oh Joyce, don't be so hard on yourself. You have a very big heart, and that in itself is a very big quality. But you mustn't punish yourself for something (I don't know what this concerns, but I can guess lol) that you don't have control over. You can only do so much.

Please Joyce, think about the differences you've made already, and what you've done to improve the quality of some peoples' lives. Without trying to be patronising, you've done a fantastic job.

Hi Dutch,

You can't do more than your very best, which you have done, so please, Joyce don't worry about it anymore! We all know you care and are there for everyone. You haven't let anyone down at all!

Now is the time to start thinking and looking after yourself - try putting your feet up a lot more than you do. You want to be well, and able to get about when your granddaughter visits you.

Speak to you soon.

Best wishes,

Sallie.

Joyce love, you know in your heart of hearts that you have not let anybody down. If it was not for your efforts several people would not have received lovely surprises in the past. and if it was not for your efforts this project would not have got off the round. You have done all you can and more than any of us. your problem is that you set yourself too large a target. Please accept that you have done well, don't wait any longer, close it off now and finish with it and take some time for yourself. On everyone's behalf i want to say thank you for all you have done for everyone who has been helped.

I hope that your back will soon be better and I sympathise over the swollen ankles, mine swell up every night and it is a real nuisance. i put mine down to my BP tablets and the heat.

I hope you will listen to all your friends Joyce who only have your interest at heart.

Love
Ann

Dutch, stop worrying and concentrate on getting yourself well for when your gtanddaugher comes over to see you, you won't want her to see you down and ill. You have done so much for so many and anything is a million times better than nothing, and you have reached more than anything so do as you are told, and take time out for Joyce now, you are the important one and you will only have failed if you aren't well enough to stay in touch with everyone.

I think you are low because of all you have been worrying about, I bet Jan is worried about you and we are too, so be happy about what you have achieved and others will too.

Take care and stay positive.
love and hugs

I was speaking to Dutch an hour ago, or should I say listening to her getting upset and crying, she thinks she has failed in this latest quest. I have never known anyone with a heart bigger than Dutch's, she thinks of everyone but herself. I tried to tell her she has done really well and couldn't do more, but she wants to keep trying. Can her friends please let her know she hasn't failed and she's done something to be very proud of that most of us wouldn't attempt.
She is not very well at the moment, she has hurt her back and her feet are swelled like balloons with the heat, she can't walk. She won't put it on here because of a comment made so she is keeping it inside and coupled with the heat is frustrated and upset.
So once again can we please let her know how well she has done and we appreciate it. Thank you.

Joyce, you have worked tirelessly for a long time on here and now you are being told you must stop and rest awhile, it could be a lot worse , you could have had no responses to your requests, so you can be very proud of yourself , many folk on here would not have know such pleasure when they have recieved something from you....there are no regrets Joyce, any amount will be very gratefully recieved I am sure....so take heart, my lovely friend, you are so much loved by many.....

Love Jean and J xx
