Iris i know you will kill me but.....

She ain't having a good time and is having the red jab on Wednesday.... just wanted her to know we do all care and will be there for her this week.

i know its got a lot to do for her and well hopefully it will work.

Actually it does sound like a very good injection (if it works) but they said it was also painful and they going into something already hurting so just thought i would ask you all to do what i know you do so well and send her some support and get in the pockets as well. Taker care and ((( )))'s to you all Cris xx

Iris i am so hoping for you flower. ((((((((((( ))))))))))) and so many hopes . Love Cris xxx

    Of course I will be there - I think this is a brave step by our lovely dorcas (who has been going through the mill) so let's hope this does the trick. I know that hopes should not be raised but sometimes it is hard not to do just that - skezier, do you know what time we are on parade on Wednesday? DD

    Dear Iris,

    Just to say that I so hope this works for you. Let's hope this is a turning point for the better for you. What some of us have to go through..... it is so unfair. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Thinking of you. Thank you Cris for letting us know.

    Love
    Elna x(())

    Oh you lovely lot!

    She doesn't deserve it at all Elna you are so right. She is a good soul and pain is an evil companion eh?!

    DD had to remember what Iris has posted cus to say something she hadn't would be unfair but she did say its an all day job.

    They have her in the morning, jab her then it has to be splinted cus its got to be kept still and also they have warned her it hurts... maybe they will give her a but of dollop to help off set that cus i think its hurting enough already!

    She will be there bout 10 as I remember...... might be out by 4ish I kinda hope?

    I like the sound of this and bless her she is the guinea pig as well cus I thinking of the neck and lumber though not sure it comes under this dam palliative label...kicking at that today big time :roll:

    You all take care Cris xx

    Iris you need more guinea food and dandelions and though i will have to come back full of pins for a bit shall be with you,. ((((( ))))) xxx

    Hey, well remembered skez! I recall now that it is an all-day effort, with the injection and the splinting etc, so I will pack extra fizz and thaw all of my summer strawberries so we have supplies for the day. I'll bring a quiz book, we can entertain each other (and her) with random questions about all kinds of things - oh and a joke book - I want her crying with laughter just to see the red tears! DD

    Hello Dorcas,

    I am having a quiet week I hope so I will be on pocket duties on Wednesday. Well I'm not keen on pockets-too claustrophobic-so maybe I can hang onto your collar. Do you wear lovely faux fur collars? I could curl up and keep warm. Not real fur of course as Cris would never forgive us.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    hey come and lurk in the corner with me and the menagerie... Iris wont mind.

    Your right about fur...... you very right about fire..... i don't even ware leather from choice but Frankie's boots are a bit of a compromise......(((( )))) Cris xx

    Just heard from Iris and she said she will take all the good wishes in her pocket and hold on to them. She bit busy just now but will get in later to see for her self how much she is valued and see all the support she got. She going to need it i think..... sounds a bit painful and too long in the ward for me.....

    Right any volunteers to help clean the chickens out.. i am on a go slow and dusk is pending.....

    Iris had better leave you some rabbit pellets and a bowl of salad else you will feel short changed. if your lucky will find you some chickweed.... :wink: ((((( ))))) xxx

    Hi Iris

    Just adding myself to the many pocket dwellers who have missed you and I do hope all goes well for you on Wednesday. So sorry you have been having such a hard time there.

    I really hope you soon start to feel a little better. You will need big pockets love. Since the season has kicked of big time at Wonkas :shock: I will bring some fudge and fairings for us all. (blame Cris for encouraging the tourists down her way :lol: )

    much love and gentle hugs ((((( )))))

    I'll settle for a scarf instead of a faux fur collar if you want.

    HI Iris

    just to let you know that I'm thinking of you lots, and will certainly be in your pockets all day on Wednesday.

    I really really do hope that it is all worth it for you, and that they have finally found something to bash your arthur into submission :wink:

    loads of Wonky hugs ((((((((((((((())))))))))))
    & some slurps from littlelegs :wink:
