Good Morning Saturday

Sorry for the double photo post. It didnt appear on my post and then did!!

I'm not clever at all - there was lots of 'guidance'!!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from a clear by VERY frosty Aberdeenshire. Had a lovely fish and chips supper with friends at the golf club last night, lots of laughter and blethers.
Had a rotten sleep...woke just after four thirty, made a cup of tea and it was stone cold beside the bed this morning!
Am planning another long walk with the mut...he does love meeting all his mates in the woodies and having a good chase. He will need his cosy jacket today.
Marydoll, I haven't heard "sweetie wifie" for years, not since I was training in what remained of the Gorbals....must remember it!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a very cold and frosty NE coast.

Well I was warned not to get too excited about slight improvements on Thursday and boy were they right .

Yesterday was one of the worst days by far. They reduced the sedation right down in the morning and what resulted was about 8 hours of absolute hell. Lots of fist banging, grasping the air for things he could obviously see but weren’t there, legs kicking out, pulling at everything in sight and horrible groans through the tracheostomy. All with me trying to hold his hands, stroke his hair and reassure him by repeating the same things over and over in the hope that he would hear my voice. It was agreed that he would be fully sedated again at 4pm . Which was about as much as I could stand.

I don’t think I have cried as many tears in the entire month that I cried yesterday. I am so frightened that the man I knew and love has now gone forever.

We are now into week 5 and I’m not sure how much longer I can go on like this. I am slowly cracking up.

I don’t think I will post for a while now unless I really do have some positive news to share.

Thank you everyone for being so kind and understanding. Thank you for PM’s (I always read them but rarely get chance to reply) good wishes and prayers.

Love to all
Gilly xx

Kitty, I am most impressed by your pendant!

Gilly, I'm heartbroken for you and your husband.
I fear for your health too. You will both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Gilly, what can I say, except that we are all praying and hoping for the best for you and your DH.
{{{hugs}}} to you and peace in your heart.

Gilly I too will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please try and look after yourself.

Good morning Mick & all from frosty, misty Nottingham.
Visit DD this morning. Her partner is going to the match today Kittylester, your pendant looks good.
30th b’day party later, one of DD’s friends.
Your DH reminds me of mine Marydoll I asked him to buy 1 litre milk in red carton last week & he came back with 500 ml in green carton
Hope we have a good spell of dry weather especially areas with floods.
Hope you’re friend is ok Ginny42.
Thoughts are with Gillybob & her DH hope there are more signs of improvement today.
Hope all not well or have worries feel better today.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning a frosty start in Bristol, it has clouded over now but there is still a very cold wind, as my mother always said its a lazy wind it does not go round about you but straight through you.
Waiting excitedly for my daughter to arrive with the DGS its been three weeks since we last saw him. we are all going out to my sons later hopefully for a nice walk and tea at their house, the other DGC are so excited that the baby is coming for a visit.
gillybob I cant express how sorry I am for you in this terrible time my thoughts are with you .
I hope everyone else has a peaceful day.

So sorry your nightmare is continuing, Gilly. I wish there was more I could do than just send a brief message of support.

Thinking of you.

Gilly - so sad to read your post today - such a disappointment for you after a few steps forward. Not surprising that you feel as you do. The hospital have said to you that your husband was / is very ill - are they not providing any support for you? A knowledgeable, listening ear? You must really, really need a break and some nurturing. I hope yesterday was a blip and that your husband continues to improve. And I hope you can find ways to look after yourself. Thinking of you xx

Please do the best you can gilly to look after yourself. I will continue to think of you both even if you don’t feel like posting.

Your pendant is lovely kitty. Thank you for sharing.

Just read your post Gillybob, so sorry to hear about y’day, keeping you both in my thoughts & prayers. Love & hugs & please try & look after yourself.

Oh gilly. You must be truly exhausted. Sleep or at least rest when you can. I wish with all my heart I could help. Sending love and a hug seems so inadequate. Thinking of you all. .

Oh Gilly always in my thoughts and prayers, please try and take care of you.

Gilly so sorry you had such a bad day,hoping today maybe a bit better thinking of you as we all are,thoughts and prayers X

Good morning from a chilly but bright Durham County.

I rarely post but I often follow this thread and read in awe of the amazing women on here and how they deal with whatever life throws at them, often with a touch of humour attached to some challenging events in their lives.

My heart goes out to Gilly at this most stressful time. It's wonderful seeing so many people showing such love and concern for her and her DH. I hope and pray that once they get through this nightmare a brighter future will emerge.

Sending love, hope, strength and virtual hugs to Gillybobs. We are right beside you! xxxx

I'm sorry gilly, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. ?

Morning all from South Notts which is damn cold.
Your pendant, kitty is fabulous.
A quiet day for me I hope, feet up, lots of tea with the crossword.
Thinking of you gilly so sad for you, wish I could bring comfort to you and all those with terrible worries.

Dearest Gilly, I just can't imagine the pain you are in, hopes raised then so cruelly dashed.I understand if you don't feel like posting but I will keep you and your dear man in my thoughts and prayers every day.
Much love and ((( hugs)))

Gilly thoughts, prayers and virtual hugs.

Gilly there is so much pain in your post. It's heartrending and you must be exhausted. My heart goes out to you both. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love. xx

Oh gilly you poor poor thing, I am so very sorry to read your latest update. I can’t begin to imagine how hard this is for you to bear, and I don’t know how you keep going from day to day. But I pray that you will get the strength from somewhere to carry on.

Please know you are still and will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
