Edinburgh meeting / confirm numbers.

Mine too, thanks soop A lovely thought.

I just wish I had not tilted my head up. I always seem to do that for photographs.

Mr E did the same - in our wedding photos the light is refleced off his tilted specs so he looks like a mad professor.

Hello everyone, sorry I have been missing for a few days. Soop, I'll send you my address when I have finished writing this.

I've had a bad few days. Back in May I had my gallbladder removed and since August I have been suffering more and more with "gallbladder" type episodes. I have been backwards and forwards to the doctors for blood tests; the latest episode started earlier this week and has just gone on and on ... However, at my latest visit to the doctor this morning they decided that they think I have a blocked duct (possibly with leftover gallstones). I am now on a pain management plan and they have written to the hospital asking for treatment asap; with a warning to me that if the plan doesn't work they might just send me to A&E to sort out.

I feel like a wet week, am so drained and lethargic; and, needless to say, I am hoping that I hear from the hospital soon. (When I had the gallbladder out they offered me the following week - I bet this isn't so quick!).

GillieB How wretched. I hope all this is sorted out soon and you are feeling better.

Oh, what rotten luck, gillieB! I hope it is sorted soon for you . It was lovely meeting you at gally's.

Thanks, absentgran and bags. Feeling very depressed about the whole thing, to be honest. When I had a gallbladder I only had the episodes every four-five months, this is far, far worse.

I'm glad I managed to get up to Edinburgh last week - I was so enthusiastic about meeting Moomin and Glass for lunch, too, when they dropped me off at home in the evening. I guess that'll be on hold for a bit.

Just seen our post, GillyB. I'm so sorry you're feeling so poorly. I do hope it all gets sorted out soon for you, and I'm really glad you made it up to Gallys'. Look after yourself. xx

GillieB sorry to hear you are having a bad time, I hope you manage to get it sorted out quickly.

We will definitely will go out for lunch just let me know when you can make it.

GillieB hope it is soon sorted out.

Gillyb you are such a happy person, I would never have guessed you had a problem.Get well soon

Oh that's awful GillieB , so sorry to hear you are so poorly. I hope you can get it sorted asap and that you are feeling a lot better soon. When you are well, we'll have to get together for lunch (glass too, and maybe absent, harri and jane?). Stay in touch and keep us up to date.

Look after yourself

GillieB

GillieB sorry to hear you are not well, hope you get it sorted

Dear GillieB...bless you. Gallstone pain is sheer agony. Whenever I suffered it, I thought that I was having a crushing heart attack. Morphine was the only thing that dealt with the pain. My gall bladder was removed 13 years ago. I've 22 gallstones in a wee jar! Luckily, I've had no further problems in that area. I'm sending positive vibes and trusting that your problems will be dealt with as a matter of urgency. Much love

Thanks for the addresses. All book marks will be posted on Monday.

GillieB Hope they will soon sort out your blocked duct. Sending lots of (((hugs))) and

soop thank you so much for my lovely bookmark which I shall treasure. Hope your hospital trip went well and sending best wishes to GillieB for a speedy resolution of your problem

GillieB being in constant pain is soooo draining. Hope you're through the woods sooner rather than later.

Granny23 I've a better photo of you and Glass. Am waiting for new inks and then I shall post.

One address that I still need is that of Grannyactivist ...book mark ready for despatch.

Have posted book marks to all but Grannyactivist...still need an address please.

Looking forward to the postman calling soop

Oops! Sorry Soop, have been a bit poorly recently and must have missed this request for addresses. Have done it now - can I come out of ht enaughty corner please?

Sorry to hear that you've been poorly. Hope that you're recovering. My friends never need to visit the naughty corner. You'll need to stiffen the back of the markers. Sorry, didn't have anything suitable at the time.

The naughty corner - as stated elsewhere on here, my brain is addled!

The postman has been and delivered the bookmark, what a lovely thought soop, thank you so, so much
