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.

Thanks Jax ?

Elegran Wed 01-Dec-21 12:38:34

£1,590 in an hour. A good start! Keep going!

Elegran Wed 01-Dec-21 12:34:50

A Happy Christmas to all who have so far expressed an interest in being kept informed. I think I have PMed you all, and you will probably receive duplicate PMs from others.

I'll answer later requests by PM as they appear.

We're off, Soop!

Found it thanks Jax. Very easy. Donation made.

Well done

Gofundme type soop in search box

It’s live

Elegran Wed 01-Dec-21 11:46:17

Yes, they can only PM us, but they could be a nuisance even so.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 01-Dec-21 11:11:44

I’m sure I’m being thick Elegran, but surely Tom, Dick and Harry can only message us via GN (and can be blocked), they have no means of accessing our email addresses even if we share them by PM?

Elegran Wed 01-Dec-21 11:07:51

An aside - These forums can be read by any Tom Dick or Harry with an internet connection and an itchy nose. This means that posting on the open thread that you would like the link to Soop's fundraiser does mean that Tom Dick and Harry also know that you are up for donating, which could expose you to pleas from others. If you are OK with that, that is fine.

Elegran Wed 01-Dec-21 10:42:12

Will do, Aveline, and anyone else who asks me for it. A pm to me (click on "Private Message" just above any of my posts) will reach me.

Urmstongran Wed 01-Dec-21 10:39:00

Good point Elegran.

Aveline Wed 01-Dec-21 10:37:57

I look forward to hearing from you Elegran when you are in a position to share the link.

Elegran Wed 01-Dec-21 10:25:03

Aren't you rushing out of the trap here before the starting gun has gone, Marydoll? We don't even have the link yet, and there's many a slip twixt cup and lip.

I am very happy to pass on the information to anyone who wants it, when and if I get it, but compiling a list at this stage seems a little premature to me.

Marydoll Wed 01-Dec-21 09:49:36

That's what I think AVELINE. Elegran has the email addresses of the Edinburgh grand.

Aveline Wed 01-Dec-21 09:42:38

I'm hoping Elegran can forward the link to me. It doesn't really matter how many times people receive the link if it means the net is cast wider and wider.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 01-Dec-21 09:34:18

Please add me to your list Marydoll.

Granniesunite Wed 01-Dec-21 09:27:24

Sorry about the typos! blush

Granniesunite Wed 01-Dec-21 09:26:08

I'll l watch out to be wished Hapoy Chrustmas then...Good luck.

baubles Wed 01-Dec-21 09:25:59

Can I be added to the list please.

merlotgran Wed 01-Dec-21 09:18:50

My suggestion was that we each pm the link to six people after we have received the link ourselves. Wishing each recipient a Happy Christmas on this thread forms a list of who has received it.

When your receive the link you look at the names of posters who have been copied in with you and wait until the name before you posts the names of her recipients. You then send the link to six people and wish them Happy Christmas on this thread.

It will go a bit mad to begin with as more and more names are mentioned but then it will quieten down because members will have received the link.

It's a good idea to keep looking at the thread because not only can you make a list of who has received it but also spot anybody who wants to be included.

Soop said she would kick it off by sending the link to Marydoll, Baggs and Elegran so if they then forward the link to six people each - in order so there are no duplications, it should show it works.

If not you can shoot me! tchgrin

aggie Wed 01-Dec-21 07:36:13

Please add me to the list

kittylester Wed 01-Dec-21 07:22:44

And me please Mary.

Jalyn Wed 01-Dec-21 05:52:10

I am a lurker who has been following Soop's awful experience and have seen what a good friend and support she is to so many. I too would like a link please.

Kalu Wed 01-Dec-21 02:29:10

I would like a link too please. Thanks Marydoll. If I can be of use in any way, let me know.

Marydoll Tue 30-Nov-21 23:15:12

If no-one minds, I will make a list of those who have shown interest, we can start with that. That is if it is OK with Soop .

SueDonim Tue 30-Nov-21 23:13:57

I’d like a link, please. smile
