Hi all,
Sorry I've been so quiet recently, I've been struggling to keep the ribs/lung happy on oxygen and morphine while waiting for my CT scan, which im relieved to say is tomorrow :D if any pocket dwellers are around tomorrow afternoon I'd be really grateful. I'm not nervous or scared, truth be told I'm tired, very tired, I'm just so worn out with it all.
Please God the drs will find out how badly damaged the ribs and lung are and what they can do to help.
Thankyou all in advance and I'm sending you each a big one armed hug. (((( Xxx

    Count me in, Poppy. I hope the results come through quickly and you can get some proper treatment started.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi Poppy

    I'm a new poster on here although have "lurked" for several years and have found this site invaluable and your posts have been so supportive.

    I would like to do pocket duty and hugs

    Take care

    Thankyou everyone you are so lovely and supportive to me :D the scan is at 5 so sitting here stewing, it's so silly isn't it? If I do say it myself I'm bloomin good at keeping busy, there's lots to do and arrange for the 'bake a cake' fundraiser which I'm organising for AC, but have been told in no uncertain terms by my nearest and dearest that I'm to rest and relax this afternoon and leave the work to others...it's meant well I know, but just sitting here thinking about what they might find with the blasted ribs is making the pain worse I swear :? Nevermind, it'll be over soon and then the real wait begins.
    Thanks again for the support you lovely people, it means so much to me. X

    5pm? I'll go and ask my mates over the road to say some special words for you (no use relying on me for that!) Good luck my lovely, let's hope they can help, yes? DD

    Hi Poppy,

    I also hope you get the results through quickly. Fingers crossed that you have recovered from the experience by now and manage to enjoy the Easter weekend. I am sure there will be lots of TLC and maybe a chocolate or three. :D
    Gentle hugs,

    Afternoon Poppy. I hope things aren't too bad today. I like the idea of skezier's blue candle. I'll do a bogstandard white one - but it smells nice.
