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.

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

Yes what happened to Callistemon?

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

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 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

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. 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes a post resonates with me and I would love to know the outcome.
Two that stick in my mind was a lady having dreadful problems with a painful leg which needed regular dressing. She was clearly very distressed by the poor treatment from her GP surgery and the pain and constant weeping from her leg.
The other was a Granny who had given a box of biscuits to the playgroup staff when her GD left to go to school. Granny had collected her 4 days a week for a couple of years so had got to know them. It was her way of saying thank you. When her daughter found out she hit the roof and stopped speaking to her Mum.
Both these posts had pages of replies but I would love to know if the lady is no longer suffering with her leg and if, now that term has started, the daughter has started speaking to her Mum again, if only to ask for lifts to and from school.
Do other GN's wonder how some posters have got on?
