Hello, I wonder if any one is suffering with this ailment. I am eighty. Have been treated at a variety of hospitals over a period of ten years. First surgery carried out in 2003. Am between a rock and a hard place. Can have a colostomy at a private BMI hospital for £25,000, or wait indefinitely on the NHS waiting list with no date for the foreseeable. Every day is a challenge. I appreciate that there are countless people far worse off than I am. I would however be most grateful of any first hand information that can help me to manage this dire situation. Thank you.

Ha! I didn't expect to discover that the message I had tried to post had in fact been uploaded twice. I gave up trying in the end. Thank goodness we are able to get together again. I hate being on the outside looking in.

Have been continuing to thank every person who has been sending "Happy Christmas" messages. I am such a LUCKY lady.

Off to wash and brush-up. hmm How times flies. wink

Brook So glad you like the sunflowers. I took the photo this autumn when visiting Open Gardens in a village near my home. smile

Goodnight Soop and Mr. Soop. Hoping tomorrow will bring new donations. So pleased to see that the fund is now over £11,000. It's amazing in such a short time.

Over £11,000! Fantastic only £4000 to go. Can the media lady not help with a final push?

I was locked out too, soop. We were in good company smile.

I have been locked out of Gransnet for the last hour. Anyone else had a problem?

So, it has been another good day. Kindness pours from countless hearts. It is not possible for me not to fret about saying an individual thank you just as soon as I'm able. My father taught me the importance of the word from a very early age.

Mr Soop is in touch with the media lady. They have agreed to wait a little longer before going to press. Other avenues remain to explore.

Love to you all. THANK you. xxx

Has media interest led to further donations? It would be so good to reach target in the first week.

Marvellous News. As you say Auntieflo onwards and…… Upwards! ?

Auntieflo Sat 04-Dec-21 19:11:58

I have just seen that the total is now over £10,000.00.
Wonderful news.
Onwards and upwards.

soop Sat 04-Dec-21 12:36:03

THANK you wonderful people. I am now filled with a newfound optimism. Hope is better than any pill. I says so. grin

Back again a little later.

Aveline Sat 04-Dec-21 09:23:38

Now over £10,000. Two thirds there. Time for a final push. Hope media attention can help.

I agree with TillyTrotter and barbriam spread the word. It is beyond me but has anybody else sent it to Mumsnet?

cornergran Fri 03-Dec-21 18:38:25

While understanding your caution soop I agree with others, finding out more can do no harm, media involvement could do much good. I’m delighted the fund is growing so quickly, no matter the size of a donation each one shows how much people care.

mrshat Fri 03-Dec-21 17:53:37

Tilly Trotter - thank you. I have sent a PM.

barbriam Fri 03-Dec-21 16:56:04

Apologies if this has already been suggested but along with wider media coverage do you have a local tv news programme daily? Here in the South West our "Spotlight" has before featured fund raising by individuals and families for health matters - might be worth a shot if you haven't already contacted such? All the very best and thank you for your always lovely comments in and out of the Kitchen
