    Morning my lovely, slightly shorter canes today as I might be on the mend. I am still thinking of you and I hope you have a lovely week-end (or as lovely as can be managed given the circs). DD

    Nothing to add really, Elna. Just a few more wishes and hopes and a few of skezier's calming draughts.

    I remember so well those few fraught days before surgery and know exactly what you're facing.

    Thinking of you Elna.

    Can I help with your packing?

    Hi Elna

    Just leaving some more best wishes and anti wobble juice and hoping you have a goodish weekend. Not sure if Ange can get on line at the moment but she has asked me to send her sincerest best wishes too. Hope you enjoy your time with Lola.
    take care and good luck
    hugs always ((( ))))

    Aw, thank you dear Chris and for Ange's good wishes too. She did say it may well be difficult for her this week. Yes, thank you I had a good day with Lola - playing! Well, yesterday, looking at the time :roll: :lol: - she will be here in a few hours time whilst her daddy plays football as her mummy is going swimming!

    I do hope you are ok and are not working this weekend.

    Love

    Dear DD,

    Am I pleased to hear that you are typing with slightly shorter canes today, so you must be making progress. :grin: Those antibiotics are working then? So far my weekend has been busy thank you, so no time to think about hospitals and ops and will be busy in a few hours time again when Lola comes stomping through the door, as if she owns the place but I love it! You take special care now, :smile:

    Love

    Dear SW and Barbara

    It is good to know that you are thinking of me and thank you for the calming draughts. It was good to hear from mermaid and reassuring to know I have someone to ask any questions.

    I hope you are both ok,

    Love and hugs

    Dear Vonski and Linda

    Thank you for both being there for me and yes, you may help me with my packing, Linda but I shall only start that on Monday evening.

    Oh dear, look at the time, just gone 1.30 am - I must get to bed now as Lola will be marching through the door in a few hours. :wink::smile: I think I shall need some rest in the hospital after this weekend! :smile:

    You look after yourselves,

    Love

    Hi Elna, sounds like much needed operation though I am not sure what is involved.
    Good luck for the 27th and rest and take care when you get back home

    Dear Daylily, yes it is much needed operation unfortunately. :sad: Thank you for the good luck :grin: and I shall let you all know more after the operation is done and dusted.

    I hope you are ok and have a pleasant day today. It looks as if it may be a bright day here. I hope it will be where you are too.

    Love

    Hello Elna, I guess you are fully occupied with Lola at the moment, and hopefully having some fun too. Are you absolutely doing some colouring now? I hope so, I love colouring in! :smile: At the risk of being boring . . . . I am still thinking of you. DD

    Dear DD, I hope you are now fully recovered after the ending to your evening. Tony came to your rescue, what a good job you had his number. :smile: Just going to clear up now she has gone but thought I would have a sit down and look at what has been going on, on the forum. We did not do colouring but lots of books were read and then she had a mad half an hour of charging all over the place :grin:ending up in our bed with lots of soft toys and all of them were poorly so Dr Elna came to the rescue. :roll: :grin:

    I do not know where she puts all she eats, first of all toast with peanut butter on but she had already had cereal at home, another hour passed and a banana was consumed, lunchtime one sausage roll, quite large, and then scrambled egg, (I know she likes both of them) finished off with apple crumble without icecream! Mind you, she does not stay still for too long.

    Eek not long now until the op, but needs must.

    I hope you are feeling better than you did a couple of days ago.

    Hugs

    Dear Cebeem, thank you for your good wishes and that I shall be in your thoughts and prayers on Tuesday. I am nervous, especially as the surgeon will be working so close to my spinal cord but I must go forward in good faith that all will be well.

    I hope you are getting along ok and again thank you so much for replying.

    Love

    Hi Elna,

    Well I hope you are enjoying your day with Lola and maybe even managed to call in at the Archers this morning. :grin:

    I just wanted to wish you well for Tuesday and to say I will be thinking of you. I know you will be feeling very understandably nervous Elna, but we are all sending you some very positive vibes which you can unpack a use throughout this very stressful time.

    Lots of gentle hugs,

    Dear Ironic, :smile:

    I was not able to listen to the Archers this morning but the only one that I missed totally last week was on the Monday evening and neither caught a listen on the Tuesday at 14.00 as I was at my uncle's funeral but I shall be listening tonight at 19.00 hours. :grin: Thank you so much for your good wishes and I shall most definitely be packing as many positive vibes in my bag as possible. Two more sleeps and I shall "be done". Thank you for being there for me. I hope you are having a good-ish day.

    Love

    Just to make doubly sure, Linda, Ian will be able to get in touch with Vonski and I shall also give him my password to the forum. So he will have absolutely no excuse for not getting news to you, one way or another about how it all is going.

    Thank you so much Linda and I hope your weekend has gone well.
