Black Dog Gang 5

Hello all. I am still about lurking x joce have a fab holiday

annie I hope you are feeling better today

I have discovered why my throat was hurting for 4 weeks I had a huge ulcer in it. And ears have been blocked since xmas...for the last 2 days they they have been leaking fluid..I'm fed up with it now x

Hi all x

Doodle and Joce on holiday, isn’t it great ?

I feel such guilt , 12 bungalows here flooded , carpets and flooring ruined, all tenants are elderly or elderly and disabled
I can’t help them .

How is everyone?

Anniebach I hope you get sorted out with some antibiotics. UTIs are not nice.

Joce345 Your nails look lovely. Enjoy your time at Disney. Sure you'll love it when you're there

Raichagran Sciatica is nasty, but it's best to try to keep moving. Good luck.

* everyone* I hope you're all ok, after the storm. I live on a hill, so no danger of flooding, thankfully. It must be awful for those people who have had their homes flooded.

I've had a busy but good day, and I'm off to bed now. Goodnight all x

Annie I am so pleased you slept through all last nights activities. I hope you had a nice dream. Please look after yourself and stay safe. It’s very windy and raining again here. I will look out my red sparkly shoes for going to the choir
Tomorrow just in case I need to click my heels.
Joce we all deserve some fun so you have lots for all of us.
WhyWhyWhy yes you are more than welcome here. I have not been on this forum as long as others but I would like to say that everyone has made me so welcome. these friends know exactly how we feel and their wisdom and kindness is paramount.
for everyone. X

Joce your grandchildren are waiting for you to share their
excitement, enjoy every moment my love x

Evening all thank you for your good wishes. Tummy feeling a bit better tonight, grandkids have got to London safe..

Hi all x

WhyWhyWhy post when ever you want to, we support, understand, share , all who post here have depression / anxiety / phobias, I am sorry you haven’t an understanding GP x

rafichagran I too know the problems of painkillers because of a stomach ulcer and IBS, hope the sciatica eases soon x

Flutterby did you sing ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ on
your way home ?
David is resting on top on a wardrobe, he is storing up energy
for Wales v England !

Friends , I can never be accused of being a curtain twitcher, I
received a phone call this morning from a lady who lives at the top end of the Cul de Sac, she asked if I was alright, said
she had to leave her bungalow in the night water coming in.

I telephoned my next door neighbour but one this afternoon to ask how that lady was, he informed me that at 1.30 am there
was a fire engine in the Cul de Sac emptying the drains, 18
bungalows here and 11 had flood water in their bungalows.

My dogs and I slept through it all even when the fire engine
was emptying the drains outside my bungalow, they even
moved my recycling bins ! My bedroom is at the front of the
bungalow !

Joce we will all be with you in thought and with love, I remember when you joined BlackDog, you are doing brilliantly even though you got a set back with a physical problem last year . So my love tomorrow you will fly and I
am not thinking of the flight . Go girl, have a great time, and
don’t forget my hug to Donald Duck .
Hugs from all x

You are not alone Whywhywhy I have found this thread lovely, positive and thoughtful. Yes at time we all feel dreadful but we can come on here and have a warm welcome.

Thank you for a brilliant topic. I battle depression on a daily basis. I've never found an understanding Dr. It's great to read this thread and realise I'm not alone. Thank you. X

Hi just checking to see if everyone is ok as weather is bad.
Annie just been watching. Report on Wales. Are you and DAVID ok.?
I went shopping this morning and apart from not having red sparkly shoes on I felt as if I was taking part in a remake of The Wizard of Oz. I was glad to get home. Rain started now.
Joce sending positive thought. Have a wonderful time.
RAF sciatica is an awful thing. Remember to take your painkillers and be kind to yourself. It will pass.
Off to make cuppa and scone with jam and cream.
Xx

I love the Minnie mouse nails joce
Hope you do not have a UTI Annie.
I am at home at the moment, went out and got the papers and things that are needed, as my partner had a accident and broken bones are involved.
Sciattica is painful at the moment, but I am trying to keep moving. I have to say I am down and fed up. I have held of on meds for this as they were beginning to affect my digestive system badly. I will take two painkillers to get me to work tommorow.
Everyone keep warm and safe in this weather.

Joce bet you had a date with a dishy chap , or 2 ! I did

Your grandchildren will be waiting for you , that is exciting ,
You will love spending time with them in Disney World, enjoy every minute x

Dishy chap!!! That’s made me smile Annie.

Aww thank you Annie it’s so bad this afternoon... thank you for sun flower and hugs I need them at the minute..

how are you Annie with the UTI hope you are feeling better..

my grandkids have set of to London so maybe my tummy will feel better when I hear from them saying they are there...

Hi all x

Joce nails are very glam.

Yes you are anxious but mixed in with the anxiety is excitement, you are excited about seeing your grandchildren
enjoying Disney World.

Bet your grandchildren’s tummy are churning too with excitement.

Our tummy churns when we have the dentist, our tummy churned when we had a date with a dishy chap , yes ?

It’s the thought which goes with the churning my love.

Take this with you. ? and our hugs x

Joce this storm will pass, you will have a great time , and with your family , wonderful.

Fletterby. Yes you know why the knot is there and you know it will not harm you, it is horrible, wouldn’t it be great
if a rennie could take it away x

The storm is really bad here in Mid Wales, I have torches and
candles on standby . So much heavy rain it is running down
the road like waves.

I suspect I may have a UTI , hope not , anti biotics don’t like me, will have to wait untill surgery opens on Monday

Flutterbyl thank you, it will be nice to see some sun... the weather is getting bad hear now.. I am hoping it cleared up for tomorrow my daughter and family have to travel to London, it about 3 hours away, long drive for them they are flying from Gatwick on Monday.
I will pop in now and again when I am not with Micky, to see if all is well...

Hi all
The weather here is awful. Another day keeping cozy by the fire.
Joce I know that tummy feeling and I hate it. The only consolation is that we know why it’s there. Just think you will be going to the sunshine and away from this persistent horrid weather (well it is here is Scotland). Hope you have a really good time.
How are you doing today Annie? How is the weather in Wales?
Oh for some nice spring days.
Take care all and enjoy your weekend.

Hi all x

Anxiety and depression does nibble away at our self confidence. The ‘what if’s’ when relating to ourselves is so
often so. Different to the ‘what ifs’ relating to loved ones.

I am speaking of my own experiences
