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.

Gransnetters will find a way. Never fear, soop!

Please count me in too!

It is people like you that make a world of difference when times get tough. Onwards and all that. I shall not be naming the funding site that we select (maybe tomorrow) here on GN. My friends will help me to work out a link using my email address. We WILL survive. It's what we do in style. flowerssunshinesmile

I look forward to receiving the link - somehow. X

Me too!

Marydoll Tue 30-Nov-21 22:33:46

I'm a bit confused. Are we sending the links by email or PMs? I know we cannot post the link publicly, but surely PMs are OK, if we are familiar with the person.
I have some email addresses already, but not many. I could manage about ten, I think.

V3ra Tue 30-Nov-21 22:50:57

PM is fine by me Marydoll ?

GrannyOwl5 Tue 30-Nov-21 23:10:03

Add me to the list too, please. I don’t post very often, but am a friendly “lurker” who would like to be involved in Soop’s Army ?

Marydoll Tue 30-Nov-21 23:12:34

If I send emails, to those I know, don't worry, I will do blind copies to preserve anonymity.
Once we know the link, we can take it from there.

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

I’d like a link, please. smile

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 .

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.

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.

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
