Good Morning Thursday

Thank you for the update Gillybob. I'm sorry there is little improvement. Take care.

Good morning all from a wet West Yorkshire. Just heading off for the train and a couple of days with dear friends in what will presumably be a wet, but still lovely, Liverpool.

Holding you and your dear man in my thoughts and prayers, gilly.

_______losing my marbles as my INR is next Thursday having just looked on the calendar ( rolls eyes ) I'm all ready and got hyped up too !

I feel for you Gillybob, having gone through all that so can appreciate how you're feeling. Don't ever feel that you're " ruining " the thread-----this is what it's all about, a problem shared is a problem halved ! You will feel alone, I did, but because we've come to know you we're all here for you. x

I've been a bloomin' misery myself this week but everyone's so supportive that I begin to tell myself that I'm not on my own here, so keep posting girl we're all here in spirit for you and the amount of vibes that are going out to you should give you the extra strength to cope. x

Good morning from a wet and miserable Bristol.
gillybob thanks for posting you are in all our thoughts.
Not much on today is so wet it would be pointless going out, My thoughts are with all those in flooded areas, I just can not imagine what you are all going through.
Take care everyone.

Sending thoughts and prayers Gillyxx

Good morning from North Yorkshire. After a lovely day yesterday we are back to grey skies.
Gilly thank you for posting. You are very much in everyone’s thoughts and we are all hoping for better news. Take care of yourself.
Lots of gardening done yesterday. Managed to fill up the neighbours’ bins as well as mine before they were emptied.
Coffee with friends this morning then not much else.
Thinking of Dragonfly and those with appointments today and for everyone who needs them

Thank you for updating us Gillybob - as others have said, I wish we could offer practical help to you as well as good wishes. A glimmer of hope in that oxygen levels and sedation slightly reduced? When you hold your husband’s hand and talk to him, tell him that lots and lots of GNs are rooting for him. Look after yourself xx

Thank you for sending an update Gilly .

I hope and pray every day that you will turn a corner and see a glimmer of hope.

Sending love and hugs, how I wish it could be more ? xxxx

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Oh joy! It is raining again in South Yorkshire, and cold. We have nothing much to do today except order GS’s Christmas presents and DH has to have his ears syringed this afternoon.
Gilly how many years have you been adding joy to this thread for us? We are here for you, and all feel for what you have to endure at the moment, and will continue to pray for you and your lovely man. Chin up, Hinny! And stay with us?.

So good to hear from Gillybob as we were all worried and really do care! Here's hoping for an improvement, however small and know we are all keeping you both in our thoughts! xxx

Never feel selfish Gillybob. Don’t think anyone could be more unselfish.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your lovely man.
Hoping for a miracle.
???

Thank you gillybob for taking the time to update us - don’t for a minute think you’re ruining the thread by doing so. We need to know because we care and we’re all very aware that life deals some crap sometimes.

Love and hope to you and your family x

You are not ruining this thread gillybob and I hope you realise the love and support there is for you. I can speak for us all if I say we would only wish we could be of more practical help - a cuppa, a meal, even holding a hand . These shoulders are here for you to lean on - sending you all possible strength

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning everyone.

Just a little post to say thank you to everyone for continuing to hold my precious man in your thoughts and prayers. Sadly we are almost 6 weeks in and there is little change. They have reduced the oxygen levels and sedation every so slightly but that’s about it. I live in fear of the visit to “the little room of misery” when they tell me there is nothing more they can do so I am just trying to get through one day at a time .

I am still living a lonely, non life at the moment spending most of my time in the unit and a few hours in “that place” and that’s about it. I am not sure how much longer I can go on trying to kid myself that things will turn out okay, because they probably won’t . I think I have aged 20 years in the last 6 weeks.

That’s about it for now. I can’t see the point of sharing my misery with everyone on a daily basis and effectively ruining this lovely thread. I feel terribly selfish as I know there are plenty others with worries and health problems too

And to those enjoying sunshine and happy times.....long may they continue.

Thank you all again.

Love Gillybob xx

Morning from a very wet Surrey.
Hairdressers today so need colour and cut done,DH could not have his lung test done yesterday seems because he had a brain aneurysm in the past it would cause too much pressure!
So waiting to see what tests they can do.
Do hope we get some good news from Gilly,good luck today Dragonfly.Hope everyone has
a good day.

Good morning Michael, Annie and all.
It is bright , sunny and chilly here, and I am still in bed with my first cuppa of the day.

Just seen that my DS has had snow in Glos, with huge flakes!

Has anyone seen the new Waitrose Christmas advert? It arrived in my inbox, and I thought it rather sweet .

Best of luck Dragonfly with your appointment.

We need a couple of things today, so a run to the shops is probably on the cards, but I am expecting a delivery from A....n, so you can bet it will decide to arrive before they say.

As ever, thinking of Gillybob and her DH and hoping for good news.
Have a good day one and all.

(Should we be concerned that there’s no news from Gilly? Vibes of positivity and strength to Gilly and all of you who have a lot to bear at present. Too many to list I’m afraid. It seems the whole world is out of kilter)

Morning All

Wet and soggy here again in the north of Norfolk. But at least its only soggy. The poor farmers though can’t get onto the fields to sow which is rather concerning. Bread prices may be up next year.

Off to DGS’s Science cafe this afternoon. When I went to the first one I’d hoped for coffee and biscuits, but no such luck. Tables set out with various ‘experiments’ around the room and children charging enthusiastically from one to the other with parents/grandparents/guardians in tow. Orange and biscuits for the kids, but no coffee and biscuits for us!

Good morning from Shropshire.
We had a lovely day looking after our little grandson yesterday,he was an absolute joy??We stopped for a meal on the way home at a place we have been driving past for years,it was so good I can see it becoming a regular feature on our drives home from Stafford.
Quiet morning planned then school pick up and overnight stay for our DGD.
Dragonfly,hope your appointment goes well and sending good wishes to everyone else with appointments or worries.
Thinking of you Gilly as always,Sending love,strength and prayers.x

Good morning everyone from a very wet Essex by the sea. I have a dental appointment later this morning in a part of town I don't visit very often, so I may have a look in the charity shops around there. I only look at puzzles and good condition books but I often find something worth buying.
Nothing else planned for today. My thoughts are with Gillybobs .
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning All x

Rather cool and breezy but dry. I don't do well in the cold as I begin to seize up when out and my legs seem to have a mind of their own hahahaha.
This has only happened as I've got older and I don't understand why as I was always so agile. It'll be a test for later when I go for another INR blood test so hoping that's behaving itself.

I hope your appointment goes well Dragonfly.
Marydoll you put me in mind of how I used to be with my friends before they died. We got up to all sorts of things and left an impression wherever we went home and abroad. Great memories.

Time of the year for staying put as it's parcel delivery time. This is when the internet comes into its own when ordering online instead of trundling around shops. It's ideal for those larger packages of children's presents that you can't carry.

Thinking of the Gillybobs and hoping things are levelling themselves out for both. xx
I imagine that the business has to be attended to along with other aspects of everyday life, difficult as it is at the best of times without such a sad and worrying setback.

Hoping everyone's day goes well.

Marydoll, I know how keen you are to be out and about again which in itself can be a good tonic so, ? you enjoy a pleasant, independant, shopping trip.

Enjoy also your catch up with your friends tonight. Lots of blethering and many laughs with good company, another tonic.

Good morning from Fuerteventura, cloudy at the moment but hopefully the sun will break through later. Just finished reading Lemn Sissay’s autobiography about his early life in care; wish my parents were still around to discuss as they both worked as residential social workers as a second career. No plans, we’ll just go with the day. Hope everyone has a good one.
