Today I've been mainly.......Volume 4

Good morning all - this seems to be the place for idle chat these days.

Yesterday we went to London ExCel to collect our Son's marathon entry stuff. I now realise that exercise is bad for your health, especially your eyesight, Whilst walking around the exhibition, several very fit looking people on the stands ask me if I was running on Sunday ROFL. For those that know me it is pretty obvious that all I could run is a bath.

Elegran I hope you got some sleep last night although your mind never seems to turn off does it?
Having your family there will lessen the strain a little and be a huge comfort.
Hang in there (((Hugs))) we are all thinking of you and wishing you well.xx

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts.

Good morning everyone, well the rain has not stopped here since yesterday afternoon, it looks as though it is set for the day.

elegran I hope you managed to get a little sleep last night

Good morning, Elegran I do hope you got some rest. You are in my thoughts and I send you (((hugs)))

Elegran have been thinking of you all day, sending a {{{hug}}}

So sorry to hear the sad news nanachrissy May you find comfort in your happy memories

So sorry to hear of your sad loss nannachrissy

Just come back to this site after spending a couple of days away and I'm so sorry to hear of your loss nanachrissy and I'm glad that you were with him at the end, that will be a comfort to you. Take care of yourself

Elegran I hope that at this moment you are getting some well earned rest. Having your DD with you will be a huge support in this troubled time.

Nanachrissy, sorry to hear about your Dad. Hope you are taking care of yourself.
Elegran, hope you have a better night and benefit from your daughter's support.

elegran and my hopes for a restful and restoring night for you.
nanachrissy my condolences on your loss - how good that you were there at the end and can know it was peaceful.You could have done no more.
Love to you both xxx

I think I will follow that advice, if it is allowed me. Goodnight all and thanks for all your messages of support.

Blast, my bleeding nose has started bleeding again.

Sleep while you can and leave a note for your daughter to wake you when she gets in Elegran. Hope tonight is more restful for you and that tomorrow and in the days to come you will find all the support and strength you need.

DD1 flies in at 11 tonight. I don't know whether to stay up to see her or to lie down and sleep and she can let herself in. DH has had an anti-anxiety med added to his pump, so should need less attention tonight that last night so I may get a few hours. On the other hand, DD1 will arrive full of her own anxiety and need to talk..

Hope tonight is easier for you (and your husband), elegran, and that you can get a Macmillan night nurse. xx

nanachrissy I am so sorry about your Dad, I send condolences and (((hugs)))

Thank you, Soop. Gransnet is indeed a net, to catch us when he feel we are falling into the abyss.

Elegran

elegran if you get your sleep you can cope, accept any help on offer.

MrsHat Yes i am accepting all the help that is on offer, and there is a lot of it. The only downside is that my house is no longer my own, there seem to be people in and out all day, and night is the only time that we are on our own. But I can't function without sleep.

Another day over. Last night was not as peaceful as I would have liked as DH was very restless and needed my attention every fifteen minutes or so. The District Nurse has told me of a Marie Curie Service where a nurse comes in overnight to sit with the patient and look after him while I get a good night's sleep to be ready to cope with the day. Tomorrow I shall look into it more closely.

Elegran - keep strong and accept all the help support offered.

Condolences nanachrissy - sad news

(((HUGS))) and Nanachrissy
There are no appropriate words at a time like this as you are bound to be numb. Hang on to all those lovely memories and take care of yourself xxx

Thank you all so much for your support and love and messages.

I feel blessed to have spent so much time with my dad over the last few years since my mum died, he has been an inspiration to me.

I also feel blessed to be a part of this network of caring people. Thank you all.

Elegran I wish that we on Gransnet could turn everything around and make things better for you and those you love. The least we can do, is be here for you when you need to chat. I hope that you glean comfort from our support.

nanachrissy sorry to hear your sad news but pleased the end was peaceful. You will have good memories to keep you going
Elegran stay strong, so glad you are surrounded by your family
