Has anyone else had a wash out November so far ?

I supose maybe focus on health and safety but try to savour good times?

Definitely agree as long as I can meet the good times on the agenda 😂

Me, too. Holiday spoiled when DH went down with a severe chest infection - which he passed on to me. His chest infection affected his heart problems. The result, 3 home medical visits, 7 day trips to local community hospital, one to A&E and finally the Cardiac centre. Most of the time he had to have hospital transport because I was too ill to drive.

Ironically we had a spa break booked for early last week - that had to be cancelled and follow up medical appointments for DH, which I need to attend with him mean that I am having to reorganise my life again, just as I was feeling well and getting back to normal.

Still he is still with me and making a rapid recovery, which is more than I expected at one point. he has finally agreed a small buggy would be helpful, and I am well again!

Ian so sorry to read this , how worrying for you both . I am glad that your ash is on the mend ❤️‍🩹 though .
I accept that plans can c& do change . Though having been through this November 23 I certainly did not expect the same cycle . My DH had a relapse due to a 5am start , hours of standing & then marching at the Centopath.
But , as health issues go we are fit & healthy this virus 🦠 apart . Thankfully

MOnica I'm very sorry to hear of your husband's recent bad health. Yours too. Please PM me when things are more stable, it will be good to meet for coffee.

It’s bad luck when plans we look forward to have to be cancelled isn’t it.Perhaps do more spontaneous things when health and finances allow.

Oh you poor peeps- I know only too well how our best laid plans frequently went "aglae" -it was plans B or C sometimes even D. We had to come back from holiday more than once - pausing only en route to the Royal Free for pj's and slippers . Another time instead of driving to Birmingham for lunch with eldest D and SIL when they were going to tell us she was expecting their first baby, I was watching the ambulance disappear down the drive, and I don't know how often we had to miss theatre trips. But such was life and at least I still had DH . We still made plans but usually had a back up, and family and friends were used to short notice cancellations.
I hope 2025 brings you all improved health.

Oh I’m sorry to here you had illness strike over your plans also , but hope you & your DH are ok 👌
As for us , Yes , apart from this videos hanging around for me at least I have woken for the last two days with a sore throat & my cough hasn’t really gone away . I may attempt to make a GP appt today .

Hope you are on the mend NanaTuesday (out of interest, do you job share with 6 other Grans? )

In answer to your question though, no, I was talking about the last few years of DH’s life. We /he persevered though and although our plans often had to be cancelled or curtailed, we still tried to make the most of the time he had left

I don’t pray but I will certainly be thinking of you NanaTuesday. 🫶

Sorry I have replied to the wrong post above and I can’t delete it. Sorry you have had a bad month NanaTuesday

Rosiemaws ,

So sorry but also glad that you had a possible outlook

Difficult times for some. November was going well until, as mentioned on another thread, me and DH found a man dead on the pavement opposite our house.

Oh my word, I am so sorry , how awful for not just the poor man but for you & your DH 😘

Sorry. operator, passers by giving him CPR. I won't go on as I put it on another thread. A horrible day. Poor man.
