In *soop’s absence I’ve opened the door, fluffed the cushions and replenished the buffer.
Blossoming you have more patience than me with that bracelet, how delicate.
Tough times SueD I hope today went well for Thursday.
Yesterday’s quiz was a record 54 in attendance, not bad for a village on a Monday, we caught up with quiz mates, but failed to get in the top three. Before that I went to see a physiotherapist and came away with a bunch of knee exercises, I’ve crepitus apparently!
Today was washing, managed to whip it in before some rain unexpectedly came down.
With 🌹to soop and others struggling.

soop is extraordinarily brave, I too hope the pain is under control.
Many thanks again Baggs you’re the messenger, but also very close and this must be very hard xx

Soop news: soop has been transferred to a Glasgow hospital. A message from this morning said she needed to have a blood transfusion before they could do the nose op but another has arrived just now saying she (along with one of her sons if I understood correctly) spoke to mrsoop this afternoon. She had the nasal op - 'very painful but in good sorts' - and is still having the transfusion. It is hoped she will be returned to Oban hospital on Monday.

There was a photo taken of her on her birthday at Oban will all her nurses and what looked like a birthday cake. It was rather blurred but soop was grinning despite the "packed" nostril.

She is a brave lady.

Thank you Baggs for the latest update. Hoping and praying that Soop's procedure was successful and that she is comfortable now. Poor MrSoop, such a journey to visit his lovely wife. Thinking of them both, sending love and prayers. 💕🙏

Baggs thanks for the update. Poor McSporran he is in no fit state to go running to Glasgow. I hope soop returns soon and is more comfortable. At least she appears to be receiving appropriate treatment and her pain is controlled. She knows there is an army wishing her well.

Belated birthday wishes to you Soop. Get well soon.

Another late Happy Birthday wish to soop and the hope of an improvement following the operation.

Happy Birthday dear *soop" 💓 💐

Jaxjacky Fri 08-Aug-25 21:23:55

Thank you again Baggs.
I’ve had nasal cautery a few times, no problem, packing once - it was horrendous, my thoughts are with the soops.

Grandmadinosaur Fri 08-Aug-25 21:20:28

Thank you for updating us baggs sorry to hear dear soop has yet more medical issues to contend with.

Thinking of her on her birthday even though it’s not the way she would wish to spend it. 💐

After 3 days with our grandchildren we are pooped and relaxing tonight. Spent a couple of days out up on the coast,went to a show, played golf and mini golf and been to 3 play areas. No wonder they didn’t want to go home! It’s been tiring but we’ve made lots of lovely memories.

Redcar Fri 08-Aug-25 19:32:45

Wishing soop a a happy Birthday,but I’m sure there must be better ways to spend it. I hope today’s procedure will make her more comfortable. Thank you for the update baggs and for all the updates you are posting. Much appreciated but it must be difficult for you too.

Best wishes to all in the kitchen. Have a pleasant evening, a warm one for us in the south east.
My house is much warmer than my DD1’s house, which is cold in the winter but pleasantly cool in summer!

Happy birthday Soop

Blossoming Fri 08-Aug-25 14:30:37

Thank you for the update Baggs. I had my nose cauterised using local anaesthetic and it wasn’t too bad, hope Soop is not made uncomfortable by the procedure. It should put paid to nose packs (yuck) and nose bleeds.

kittylester Fri 08-Aug-25 14:14:32

Thank you baggs. I'm sure McSporran must be concerned so please send him a gentle hug from the kitcheners. And one for you as I expect you are a bit stressed too.

cornergran Fri 08-Aug-25 13:52:40

Thank you baggs. Appreciate you sharing the news. A hope soon sorted. Love to Mr and Mrs Soop.

Yiayia4 Fri 08-Aug-25 13:29:52

So sorry to hear the latest message from Soop, hope it can soon be sorted.Thanks again Baggs for letting us know.🌻
With love and best wishes on your Birthday Soop thoughts and prayers to you.💐❤️

Baggs Fri 08-Aug-25 13:17:20

Soop update: I've had a somewhat hasty message from Herself that she is being taken to a Glasgow hospital by ambulance to have "packs in nose removed and site cauterised under anaesthetic".

Apparently MrSoop will tell me/us more in due course.

This is a very bald message but, not being a medic, I think I had better leave it here without comment from me.

SueDonim Fri 08-Aug-25 13:16:45

Happy birthday, Soop. I hope you are feeling more comfortable and can soon get home and enjoy cake. 🎂 xxx
