Good Morning Tuesday 14th December 2021

A bit late. With the Good Morning but here I am. Dry but dismal all day, a quick chat with the Dr this morning about medication and then a quick trip to Waitrose for a few bits and bobs. Then lunch and back to bed for a Nanny nap. All is. quiet at my sons house, I have only spoken to him and arranged to meet him, outside somewhere for a coffee on Saturday. The go are still angry that I haven’t been to see them in their hour of need but my son agrees with me and said they will just have to get over it. It’s just the anger of grief and I am sticking to my guns. Marydoll I hope you take it easy and stay safe, Ens, sorry your post was deleted I am sure you meant no harm. Keep safe everyone

Very late but just needed to say I'm glad Lauranorder your Dil got her chemo and thank you and all the others for the good wishes for my daughter

Just catching up with the thread…

Oh barmeyoldbat how dreadful for your family, sending my condolences ?

grannysomerset you have to do what you feel is right ?

Happy birthday baubles ??

Marydoll Kind thoughts for you. One great role model.

Just in case anyone gets the wrong end of the stick yet again, it certainly wasn't me who reported ES.

It's a shame that this thread, which I have always enjoyed and posted on comfortably for the last six years, has become quite upsetting recently.

So sorry for your loss barmyoldbat and the dilemma with your GD. ?

Lauranorder good news that your daughters treatment is to go ahead ?

EnaSharples

Barmeyoldbat that is very sad for you and your family.

I dont know why my post was deleted for just showing sympathy to someone in the same boat as me and I hope this one wont be. I wish someone would tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I think if you email GNHQ they may be able to help you EnaSharples - if your posts are deleted then they should let you know why so that you can avoid doing the same in future.

Ena if you unblock your private message function I’m sure others will be happy to help you

Just wanted to say how lovely it is to see you on the good morning thread muse. Always a calm and caring poster. You’ve been missed.

Good Afternoon from a trying to be sunny mid Cornwall.

We do our best to cope, in sorts of ways, with our own illnesses and worries but when our family are hurting or worried it can become an almost impossible task sometimes in helping them cope.

Laura. It's brilliant to read that the chemotherapy is underway today. Christmas a go go ?. Also pleased that operation will not be delayed now.
Barmeyoldbat. Your news was a very hard one to read. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
Gymstagran Hope the chemotherapy goes well for your DD on the 30th.
I'm a lifeline for my two AC. I'm always here with my listening ear and a word of encouragement and support. At the moment, one of them needs lots of both.

To everyone who has their own pain or worries, I do hope you find a way of coping and maybe, hopefully, a way forward with them.

I'll brave the outside soon to drive and post more cards (wish I lived within walking distance of a post box) and will then walk Mya, who was poorly during the night. She is curled up besides me at the moment.

Safe day all Good Morningsters.

The forecaster said last night that the temperature here will remain at a constant 12° day and night today, so we didn't load the log fire up last night. I will leave my scarf on the peg ?.

Barmeyoldbat that is very sad for you and your family.

I dont know why my post was deleted for just showing sympathy to someone in the same boat as me and I hope this one wont be. I wish someone would tell me what I'm doing wrong.

What a shock Barmeyoldbat, condolences and thoughts to grannysomerset in this difficult time.

Gwen, I have tried both Reiki and reflexology and am an advocate of both. However, Covid put paid to that. Initially I was sceptical about Reiki, however it was amazing!

What a dreadful shock for you and your family *Barmeyoldbat. My deepest condolences. Look after yourself first would be my advice in your situation. ?
Much better news for you DiL LauraNorderr
I know a few children with DS Gwen. Mischievous sense of humour but oh so gentle and loving. Something I find so endearing in those I know with DS.

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny northwest coast.
I’m taking it easy this morning as singing in our last music club meeting/party this afternoon and sang a lot yesterday. I get hoarse as have acid reflux which is terrible for the singing voice. A red dress should fit the bill too.
I had a lovely day in Chester on Sunday, Christmas trees lined the cloisters and a nice meal in Carluccios (?) chicken Milanese in breadcrumbs. Took the train instead of the car, rather long but relaxed apart from non maskers grr.
Really need to get going on Christmas prep rather than gadding about.
Thoughts to Lauranorder and hope you all have a good day.
Another card drawn.

I'm so sorry to hear your news Barmey. It sounds as if your GD is just lashing out. Don't take it to heart. You can do without it though. How old was your DIL? Did she have known health problems?
I'm glad your DIL can have her chemo now after all Lauranorder. Hope the side effects settle quickly.
Thoughts to all who are sad or troubled

Happy Birthday Baubles??
Sorry about your DIL, LauraNorderr, Maybe she, too can negotiate to have the Chemo after Christmas?
Kalu my GS is very sweet, but don't be mistaken - he is quite mischievous, and gentle as are most children with DS Barmeyoldbat what a dreadful thing to happen, the aggrevation is so not necessary at a time like that.
I'm sure you, too, will investigate complimentary therapies, Marydoll. Reflexology can be quite powerful if done regularly and acupuncture? Good Luck with that.

Happy Birthday Baubles I hope you enjoy your special day! ???

Thinking of your DiL lauranorder and sending love and support
Also to your DD gymstagran wishing her a positive outcome

barmyoldbat sincere condolences to you and your family , what an awful thing to have happened.
marydoll and all others who are struggling, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
MrOops managed a walk to the post box this morning with the Christmas cards and he can now sit down for a few hours as my hairdresser is due to arrive shortly, it’s his first time out for a week.
It’s a dull day here, but at least no wind or gales.
Hugs for those who have worries.

Sending condolences to barmyoldbat and your family how tragic ?

Wasn’t going to post today because I’m so late but feel I must send condolences to Barmeyoldbat after her awful family tragedy and at the same time say to Laura that I’ll be remembering your DiL and Gymstagrans DD over the next couple of weeks. I wish you strength.

Happy birthday baubles! I hope you get that visit? ???

Just heard from my beautiful daughter-in-law ‘Christmas is back on! Chemo a go go’ ?
Her words. Don’t know the details yet but she’s having her last session as I write.
Wanted to come back and tell you all so that I don’t draw attention from those who need it more.
All good here thank you.

Just calling in send my condolences to Barmeyoldbat and family, what a dreadful shock for you all

Best wishes to Marydoll too, always stoical and cheerful despite all x

And to your DIL LauraNorderr, hope she won't have to wait much longer for her final treatment and it goes as well as can be expected.

Best wishes to all and happy birthday to Baubles
