Good Morning Tuesday 7th October 2025

Late in today as away in North Norfolk and internet patchy at best.
Just wanted to say how relieved I am for MD that her condition is one of the lesser evils.
Also to sends hugs and thoughts to Dragonfly and the FGTs as they begin their ‘mountain climb’. x

Also, dragonfly - sending you a hug and best wishes.

Good afternoon everyone.

I’m very late to the party as I’ve been out today.

I’ve not read everyone’s posts yet, but just wanted to say how pleased I am Marydoll that the news wasn’t what you were worried it might be, and I sincerely hope that the medical staff will now be able to work out the most suitable meds to give you the most relief from all the pain and discomfort you endure.

Likewise, I hope that all has gone well for your OH today FGT2.

Pleased to read it was good news Marydoll rest up now as the worry and these procedures do take it out of you.

Hope the treatment goes well for himself FGT ❤️

Lovely to see so many posting support and the friendliness and caring of everyone on this thread is a joy.

So glad to read Mdoll’s news and hope for similar encouragement for the FGTs. A constantly interrupted morning means I am late again so will read properly, having skimmed to get news of the above.

Marydoll just seen your news, so pleased for you. Please have a little rest now

Hello to all from the East Sussex coast.
Wonderful news MD and good luck FGT.
It's cold and grey here on the East Sussex coast. Just had windows cleaned and am grateful to now see out! Will be stewing a large number of windfall apples today, given to me by a friend. They are quite small and funny shapes and so they will take ages to peel and chop but they are delicious with lemon juice and water, brown sugar and sultanas mixed in.. Will be freezing some in plastic icecream boxes otherwise I would be eating them daily for weeks.
Have a lovely day everyone.

So pleased with your news Marydoll. Always in my thoughts and prayers. [flowers) I usually read this thread every day to keep up with everyone's busyness as I have so little going on in my life, being virtually housebound, but live vicariously through you lovely people on here. Thoughts and prayers with FGTs and dragonflies too, for good outcomes today.
Thank you all for sharing your shenanigans with us on this positive thread. Hope people realise how much it helps.

A lurker on this thread but wanted to say I’m so pleased to hear your news Marydoll,hope some help is available now you have a diagnosis that will ease your symptoms.
Sending loving thoughts to FGT and to Dragonfly in these worrying times.
Hope everyone has a pleasant day.

Such good news Marydoll so happy for you

FGT hope all goes well for himself today

Just back from today’s walk and catching up on the news now.

Hope things go well for Dragonfly and FGT2 and anybody else facing tough issues today.

Good morning from a dreich Kent! What wonderful news Marydoll. Your family will be so relieved too - and maybe they will look after you for a change!
I had colonoscopies which showed that I have diverticular disease which sometimes flares into diverticulitis, that is the worst pain ever, I have fainted with it on occasion. I had paramedics once it was so bad. Touch wood, haven’t had an episode for a few years. Maybe a legacy from 25 years of undiagnosed food intolerance- I had such a lot of time off school and left teacher training college because of the constant stomach and gut issues.No problem now as long as I don’t eat pork or any of its derivatives.
I am still watching for a rheumatologist appointment to try and get on top of polymyalgia. Yesterday was a wipeout as we had our jabs on Sunday, I was floored.
Hope everyone has a good day 🌼

Delighted for you Marydoll.

Praying you and your DH get good news today too dragonfly🙏🏻

Well done Blossoming 🌟

Wonderful news, Marydoll. So pleased for you.

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire. It was a beautiful day here yesterday and MrB and I enjoyed 2 walks down to the river. He took a picture of me standing at the top of the Dock gates.

I am so very glad to read your results Marydoll, what a weight off your mind.

Thoughts and hugs to the FGTs too today

Oh dragonfly. I truly empathise with your fear. It lurks just below the surface here every day now. It’s draining and exhausting to worry so. I hope you get reassurance too, as Marydoll did. ✌️

Oh I am so very happy at your good news MD I feel like hopping and skipping for joy

To all the doubters, I do have the ability to procrastinate, honest I do but when I see a job, I just set to and do it to the bitter end. Capricorn is my middle name

Hugs dragonfly.

Good news MD.

Great news Marydoll🎉

FGT 🧡

Paddyann, so nice to see you posting. I did think of you, when DH was driving the tour bus. At one point I was sure we were going to end up in Dumbarton 😉.

Good morning from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
Engineer yesterday to sort out faulty smoke alarm plus house alarm. Lots of things in the house have decided to gang up on me at the same time.

I got on with making various appointments and booking things I had left, although I felt queasy, under the weather and a sore throat. Hope it was a one off as I’m off to the music club this afternoon to sing. The note bashing for the opera co. is tiresome, but has to be done.

DD has booked The Nutcracker in London for December and my sister there has now booked a ticket, so that’s something to look forward to.

Thoughts to FGT dragonfly and all🌺

Marydoll I'm glad it isn't cancer. Definitely rest today though. Dragonfly my best wishes for to you and your DH.
