What was the outcome for these GN's.

Yes. Many years ago there was a regular poster called nannynoo who was bringing up a grandson with autism. I would love to know how life turned out for them.

And of course not forgetting Gillybob(?) who was going through a dreadful time and was caring for her husband who was ill, and also helping her single daughter and grandchild. She was at her wits end and suddenly just left GN. I often wonder how she is getting on and hope her life got easier.

Yes I do sometimes think about this poor woman, as well. She lived in the North East, if I remember correctly. It was a dreadful time for her. I do hope things improved.

I know J52 I was so concerned about her I even asked if anyone living near her (I don't live in the North East) could possibly befriend her and help in any way. I would have gladly done so if I lived near her.

Sarnia the lady with the awful leg problems is having a rest. If you scroll through the post which of course Birdbrain has forgotten, is it hips and knees? You will find she is on the way to recovery but considering suing when it is finished.

Yes, sometimes we are left wondering and hope it's not because the poster left, distressed, or things did not improve.

Other posters come to mind, like maddyone as well who no longer posts.

The poster with the infected leg was ferry23

The last thing she posted was:
I will post updates as and when there's something significant to say. Thank you all - I can't say that enough times. When I first posted I was in quite a scary place and you all dragged me out of it and made me feel I was not in this alone. You're all stars!

Once I get to thinking about how I'm going to handle the debacle of the last 8 months I shall start a new thread for your input

I hope she is continuing to improve. 🙂

I wonder how Miss Adventure is now. I may have missed an update but I think she was recovering from a serious illness last time someone posted her news

Is Maddyone not here now? I did think she’d been very quiet lately, although I know there was a lot going on in her life.

Also Callistemon, she’s gone or at least, I haven’t seen her of late.

I think Callistemon was barred, can't think why as she wasn't controversial or goady.

Yes what happened to Callistemon?

Thank you for that. I couldn't find it. I'm pleased she is on the mend.

I think Callistemon is back among us under an assumed name!

No she wasn't.
She just had a name change.

I'd like to know how MissAdventure is now, hope she's reading this

I found the thread and posted her update above at Tue 09-Sept-25 11:50:12, Sarnia.
Nothing more since, as far as I know.

Yes, it’s petra posting updates on Miss A, but the last one I can find was in June.

I was absent for some time from March until summer so the last I heard about MissAdventure was that she had been very poorly, so didn’t dare ask when I came back on the site. Am hoping she is still recovering.
Did anyone ever find out about BigLouis?

I'm the leg lady!

I'm just back from my 5th visit to the Wound Clinic. There's been a couple of glitches along the way, but the leg is now healed and today, after almost 9months, we ditched the horrible compression bandages and I now have a compression sock.

I've to try with the sock until next week's appointment but I can call on the District Nurses if I have any problems before then.

I just wish I'd known about the Wound Clinic 9 months ago, and also that I could have had my dressings changed at the weekends by a District Nurse which my surgery should have been organising. Those two things woud have saved me a lot of discomfort, pain and distress.

When I first posted about my leg, I was very low in spirits. The wound clinic has been brilliant apart from one "Cruella de Nurse" whose patronising and threatening attitude set me back a bit when I was feeling vulnerable and depressed. My GP referred me for anxiety counselling as it was all getting me down a bit.

I suspect this could have been treated quicker and better but I can't substantiate that so I just have to move forward from here.

The lovely people on here kept me going through a very tough time. I shall be eternally grateful

No Babs no one ever found out about BigLouis I saw her name come up in a thread the other week and got all excited but it was an old thread, I wish we knew
Is Petra still posting? is anyone in touch with her I d really like to know how MissA is ?

So glad you’re doing so much better Ferry keep it up x

Lovely to hear your update ferry23 and I'm glad you've made such good progress.
I hope your GP surgery has apologised and learnt a lesson from your case and realised that you have a Wound Clinic in your area. Something for us all to know about should the need arise.

As for that nurse - well, there always seems to be one, doesn't there! It makes you wonder why someone would choose nursing as a profession.

Pleased to hear you’re on the mend now, but what a year for you!

So glad you are feeling better both physically and with regard to your spirits, I remember how bad you felt in your last post about your leg.
Wishing you - and your leg.
All the best ❤️🌹
