Soops Kitchen, a friendly place of refuge

Thankyou Grannmarie just a case of feeling a little sorry for myself.
My DGD has dealt with such a lot in her life that being chosen as a bridesmaid is a big deal and I was so looking forward to sharing it with her.
The icing in the cake though is that her lovely BF will be there.

utbb I’m sorry that you’re not well enough to go to the wedding and hope that your DGD has a brilliant time and supplies you with photos all day! I hope that you get a cardiology appointment soon.

I’m so sorry you can’t go to the wedding UTBB what a shame hope you get lots of photos.I can relate to your heart problem I had a Echo in June slightly abnormal so seeing a cardiologist on Monday after nearly 10months!

DH had a call yesterday.The scans showed some thickening so he is to have a sigmoidoscopy.Trying to be upbeat but,it’s hard.He doesn’t want to tell our sons but,I feel they should know and will give him a bit of support.

Sorry not giving cheerful news at the moment but wish you all a nice Saturday.Special thoughts for FGT and dear Soop

Yia my GP told me yesterday my wait will be a long one…..
I hope you get some reassurance on Monday.
So sorry that you don’t have better news about your H, and you have a dilemma about sharing the news with your S’s , a hard call for you.

Utbb what a disappointment for you. I do hope your wait isn't as long as suggested. Yiayia my best wishes go to your dh and you.
Just back from Aldi and I'm having a cuppa and a pancake before tackling the kitchen and the washing. Happy Saturday

Just to add, the wedding will be a glittering affair, both bride and groom are 31 with high flying careers and incomes to match and one set of very affluent in- laws.
I am missing quite an event😦😉

I’m sad for you uttb, it’s hard to re-think things we plan and look forward to. Hope you can find some distraction today. There will be the pleasure to come of looking at many photos with your granddaughter.

The cardiology appointment will come, it all seems so slow now. Mr C should have had an echo and a review early last year, there is currently a 142 week wait for the clinic. It’s a constant concern in the back of my head although he seems to be able to set it aside and just get on with life, undoubtedly a good thing.

We've had similar conversations here about what and when to tell family yia. It’s hard to know what’s for the best. Wishing your husband well for the procedure and outcome.

Belated birthday wishes gillgran, hope it was the best of days.

I’m being very lazy this morning and really should energise myself. TOYA.

At age 88 I don’t think a 142 week wait is going to over worry me.
I think I shall just forget all about it now however for younger folk it is just not acceptable.

My ha’porth about telling the family medical things! When I was recalled after a mammogram back in 2017, I decided not to tell the children anything until I had something to tell. So, when I was told I had breast cancer I let them know, in age order! However, I have had several colonoscopies but haven’t told them. Obviously different families have different ideas.

When I also was diagnosed with BC I didn’t tell the family until I had my diagnosis however that had to be very quickly done as I received my diagnosis on Wednesday and my operation was the following Wednesday.
I just didn’t have time to worry about myself or anyone else.

So sorry to hear you are missing the wedding UTBB I am sure there will be lots of photos.

I told my adult children about our cancer diagnoses when we had something to tell them and not just when we were having the tests. Also we could then tell them what treatment was planned.
My DD did the same when she had a skin problem and only let me know when she had had it removed.

Oh how frustrating utbb I do hope your granddaughter has a wonderful day and can share at least some of it with you.
Difficult Yia you both know your children, maybe they would support you both? I’m sorry it was not better news x

That’s a shame you are missing the wedding Usedtobeblonde I hope your GD has a fabulous day.

Sorry you have worrying news Yiayia4

Thanks all for your input.Thing is DH had a bowel cancer operation 18 months ago and is still having 3 monthly checks. We have now told our eldest son now as he knows he was waiting for results.He said we should absolutely tell them and was very supportive and positive.But of course every family is different.

Yia for you all.

A worrying time for you yiayia, thinking of you.
And some to cheer you up utbb .

Awful drama at the wedding, the groom’s Grandfather had a stroke at the exact minute the bride made her entrance.
Ambulance at the scene, I know no more yet.
Everyone is in shock.
Poor family.

Oh my goodness uttb what a shock and upset for everyone, I hope the grandfather is ok x

I'm sorry that you are missing the wedding Utbb and seeing you DGD in her finery.

We don't tell our children if we are having routine tests but if we are called back for anything then we would and also keep them posted as we go along. They would give us what for if we didn't and we would expect them to tell us.

I'm sorry your waits are so long corner and utbb. The NHS is really bad sometimes and brilliant at others.

I had a blood test yesterday as part of my annual review at the gp. Today, I had a phone call from the out of hours service because they were concerned about my kidney function results. All was well when I told the doctor that I had just had a kidney removed and that might account for it. But, I thought that was brilliantly pro active on the part of the NHS.

Crossed posts, utbb. I hope the groom's grandfather got timely treatment. That is so sad.

Oh my Usedtobeblonde how dreadful for all concerned, I hope the gentleman is ok, the poor bride and groom.

Oh goodness utbb I do hope the gentleman is ok. The poor family!

Utbb, what a terrible thing to happen! I hope the gentleman recovers fully.

Utbb what a awful thing to happen hope he is ok.
Yia sorry to see you have had some bad news , I had to tell my daughter I was going to breast clinic has she worked at the hospital and when I was told it was cancer the nurse rung her .I rang my son the same day he was glad I told him but every family is different .
Sending ((hugs)) to all .x

How awful utbb I do hope the poor man is ok.
