:shock:

Looks like we have a busy week this week, but folks if you could spare a moment to jump into Cris' pocket to support her through her endoscopy tomorrow.

The lass has had an awful time not being able to take her pain relief or 'agonising innards' medication in preparation for this endo and between you and me....she hates em :???:

The best news of all is that Cris will not be alone fro the procedure....she will be able to take the sedation because someone will be taking her home as well afterwards.

Thanks SO much to our Debs (aka Minky) for helping Cris out in real life.

But we mustn't underestimate the power of the forums 'virtual' support.

Good luck Cris

Love

Toni xx

    Count me in. The very best for tomorrow skezier, (((()))) and a smidge of love, and hugs to minky too ((())( for being there to help you. There are some grand folk on AC, yes? DD

    PS A little bit of useless knowledge here: the ancient Phonecians invented glass blowing, the alphabet that we use today and CLOTTED CREAM. They also worshipped lettuce - guess you can't be clever on all fronts. DD

    It will be a breeze for you, Cris, this time around, now that Debs is taking you home, what a super, kind gesture. Thank you Toni for letting us know.

    Hugs

    Skezier - I'll be there - or on roof duties, whichever is more necessary for you.

    Debs - Good on you for taking her.

    DD - Could you please send me a Prayer to a Lettuce? I seem to have mislaid all mine and I’m planning a Phoenecian religious ceremony next week which will involve lettuce in home blown glass bowls with a side-serving of clotted cream. The menu will, of course, be in Acrylic.

    I'm glad you started a new thread Toni. Otherwise the updates get buried in the long threads and don't always get spotted.

    I will be with you tomorrow Cris. That is lovely of Minky too.

    Hi Toni and Daisy, Julie, Tony and Ra, Barbara, Berty, DD, Elna, Sticky, Sue. Elizabeth, Anky, Suzy and Izzy, Joan, Hileena, Lynn, Janie, Daylilly, Fay and the tribe, Sharon, Sue and the cats, Tilly and the Deers, Val, Eileen, Legs and I,

    Again I am humbled by all your kindness and well even more so cus its been a bad day.

    Some of you know had a re call cus the bloods had a problem so went to the docs to have another one this morning....

    Its done by the docs now and I can't handle the amount of stabbing the nurses do and still not get any out. It was cold today so the doc didn't get it out and have to go back again Friday, straight from a arm bath and dressed for the poles :lol:

    I thought it would be a positive on diabetes they anted me back but it wasn't, that was negative but I am anemic... well thats possibly why I so tired....

    They eyes aren't too good tonging and I am thinking could that be something to do with the anemia... I know they are bad at best but they are worse than normal and I got some dim memory that vit b or b12 is needed for the eyes...

    Mind I could just of easily made that up :lol:

    Bre has now broken both bits of perspex today with her feet up on the windows.... I shall have to get thicker :lol: Thank god its not glass...... A sheep with a cut tendon could be an interesting vet bill.... mind I don't know if they can anesthetize one cus its likely never t have been done as sheep are normally throw away......

    Wondering off here cus be honest the alien has given me so much pain today... its changed and been throbbing all day. Its not done that before and maybe it knows that tomorrow I send in Sigourney weaver :lol:

    I am also a bit worried... has the hernia grown, will they ever repair it, is the barretts any bigger cus it feels like it is and just how much more inflammation is down there....To say nothing of my hatred of endo's.....

    Toni Thanks flowr and Daisy has left her nurses costume here cus she things this lot will clean it for her... oh how young and inexperienced she is :lol: xx

    Julie Thanks or coming and for all your help to get through life recently. You got the hammock cus with the employers in the pockets and all their friends you need to fight for comfy places :lol: xx

    Tony and Ra Thanks lads again. Ra your in charge of keeping my cats in order... now there a few more then your used to and they are not always nice :lol: xx

    Barbara Course you can have the sheep pocket... it will will more room cus not everyone wants to smell of sheep for so long :lol: They have promised their best behaviour but having managed to clip thir toenails... I know those were crossed :lol: xx

    Berty Thanks for the easing stuff, its kicking me to bits and beyond tonight..... Hey its so good of Debs to give up a day of her holiday for me. Mind we can have a good ol chat if I am an not three bits gone with the fairies... like I never am :lol: xx

    DD Thanks for coming with...... as point of fact it was the Cornish that invented clotted cream... everything else is totally inferior how ever long ago they found it :lol::lol:

    You going in the sheep pocket with Barbabra i don't think its fair she is on her own :lol: xx

    Elna Your rigth you know when debs said she would take and collect me I was much happier.... it gets hard sometimes to always be alone.

    Thinking of you flower. xx

    Sticky your coming with to help get me in there and hold me down :lol: xx

    Sue Thanks for coming flower and with you lot there it will go alright but if they wont sedate me again will you kick them please? xx

    Going to spilt this now but will be right back.

    Elizabeth Thanks flower and its good of Toni to start a new post though I am sure you poor folk get sick of supporting me cus i am so much debt to you all.

    Was so glad about Lucy :grin: Bless her she will get there you know. xx

    Anky They are not pleasant are they? The last one they told me I couldn;t have a sedative... this time I have told them less i have one I don;t have ut but they will probably try and shame me into not again....

    Have made a special pocket for Taz so he doesn't get jostled too much. Hope he is ok this morning as well flower. xx

    Suzy and Izzy Thanks for the ice cream flower... much needed tonight though its kicking at that as well now....Be glad to get the nexium.... at he told me to take 80 2x a day for a bit cus 40 isn't enough.... I hope he will do something though long term....

    Izzy could help Ra control my lot as well if she doesn't mind though Velcro said it would be more fun for her to play :lol:

    Hope your doing ok flower? xx

    Joan Your help with the jobs will be much appreciated flower. Hows that foot? Is it up for wheel barrow duties and we have a lovely clean straw bed to make :grin: I love doing those.. how sad am I?! xx
