Soops kitchen extension 2

Get better soon Soop and I hope that Rory is not too upset that you are not around at present.

Just caught up, sorry to hear soop has had to go into hospital. Sending my love and good wishes for a rapid return to full health. Thanks bags for keeping us up to date.

Has anybody checked out the sofas in Oban hospital for softness squishiness length to accommodate a number of slim and svelte Granny bottoms? We could move in and bring chaos and confusion comfort and joy to the other patients too!!
Some years ago when DH in Royal Free over Christmas with Lymphoma we all went to spend the afternoon with him (bearing smoked salmon and black pepper sandwiches) and his sister had to be restrained from continuing a family tradition of indoor fireworks!! Could you imagine evacuating all 12 floors of the Royal Free on Christmas afternoon because some twit one had set all the sprinklers off? ]

Good idea, Soutra!

Although we are quiet and refined, (most of the time) the sheer numbers would overwhelm Oban hospital. Maybe a bit of hilarity is what soop needs.

Thanks bags for keeping us up to date.

Any more news bags?

I texted soop earlier just to say we're thinking of her and had a short text back but I think her phone needs a top up, so not sure how she's faring in hospital.

Thanks bags - keep us posted.

Thank you, bags. Maybe John will take a top-up to her. It's quite a long drive to Oban from where soop lives, so I wonder if he'll stay in Oban - but then there's Rory....

Appreciated BAGS

Marelli I was wondering how John would manage too. They have lots of friends locally though don't they, so I'm sure someone would keep an eye on Rory.

Maybe he'll go up every day for afternoon visiting - DH thinks it might be a 150 mile round trip, though. I'm sure soop has good friends nearby who would feed Rory and give him a wee cuddle.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery soop and keep strong to mrsoop.

Wish we were nearer.... However - we must think of soop, and that she'll now be receiving the right treatment. She may have been dehydrated and needing IV antibiotics. They'll be all sorted for her now, and hopefully she'll be feeling the difference today.

Rang soop and read out all your names who have left messages in the Kitchen. She says to tell you that she feels privileged to know so many lovely people and your kind words and thoughts mean a lot to her. Gold star, gransnet!

The medical news is that she is wired/tubed up for a constant overnight IV drip of antibiotics. Problems arising (e.g. mouth thrush) because all the good bacteria are being killed too!

soop was still having coughing fits and says she feels desperately tired, which is hardly surprising in the circumstances, but she did sound a little better, if I can tell on the phone, than she sounded on Thursday. Possibly just glad to be in hospital getting the right treatment.

She didn't sleep much last night and has asked for a sleeping pill for tonight, which they are happy to give her.

Mr Soop is not feeling very well and has been ordered (by soop) to go to the doc tomorrow.

Thanks for the info thatbags good to know Soop may be feeling a tiny bit perkier, but sorry to hear that Mr Soop is feeling unwell too. What a rotten time for them both!
Sending some into their lives.

Thanks bags, so glad that you are 'in the know' as it were. Now I'm worrying about mrsoop too!
I hope nothing happens to Rory!

for bags as well as for the soops

Yes, Gold Star to bags! Poor mrsoop - what a nightmare for them both. Virtual and some too on their way to them both.

Thanks very much B. Wishing soop a good, restful night and an improvement tomorrow.

Thanks for the update, Bags. I hope soop continues to improve, and that poor MrSoop gets some help from the GP - he must be so stressed...

bag it's so helpful you being able to let us know how dear soop is getting on. Thank you

bags not bag....oh dear! my iPad will get me in such trouble!

That is a horrendous round trip from home to hospital-150 miles. Hopefully somebody can look after Rory and feed him. Mr. soop must look after himself and see the GP tomorrow. We cannot have both of them ill.

Special good wishes to soop do hope she soon back home and well especially from Rosie who loves her painting
Do hope mr soop well again very soon too x x x x
