Soop's Kindly Kitcheners

So sorry to hear about your DH Bella.
How thoughtful of him to think of getting some one to help with the cleaning. One less thing for you to worry about.

Sorry to hear about your hubby`s return to hospital Bella, all my best wishes to him, and to you. xx

Only just caught up with the days events. My thoughts are with you and your husband Bellasnana, I sure they will get him back to health very soon.

...and to you Soutra . I know you often have considerable concerns about your husband's health.

Best wishes to you and your husband Bella.

Best wishes Bella, I hope they can sort it out quickly

Sending for you Bella and best wishes to your DH!

Sorry to hear about your husband Bellasnana, what a thoughtful thing for him to do getting some help with the cleaning. Sending

O Dear Bellasnana you and your DH are having a really tough time lately. Keep strong and

Sending you and your DH some Bellasnana. It is so frustrating when treatment for one problem just causes another but I am glad something is being done now. GI bleeds feature quite a lot in DH's life and he too had a particularly bad one in the Heart Hospital a couple of years ago when he was given a much higher dose of Warfarin for a pulmonary embolism. They had great difficulty stabilising him then and it was what you might call a bit of a tense moment. Weighing up one problem against another is why they are the doctors and we just cross everything!
Best wishes to you both, I was getting worried!

soop,I've never understood where that 'sleep like a baby' comes from. If I slept like a baby I'd be waking every three or four hours for a feed and a nappy change!
Bella, what a bad time for you and DH. Wasn't it thoughtful of him, in the midst of all his problems, to organise help for you? She sounds like a treasure. I see that the hospitals here aren't the only ones that charge outrageously for parking! Doesn't that add insult to injury! Meanwhile, do look after yourself. It's wonderful to be needed, but not so easy when you're indispensable.

Bella sending best wishes to you and your husband. I hope he starts to feel better soon

Dear*Bella*, I'm also very sorry and sad to hear that your darling husband is back in hospital. It was thoughtful of him to arrange for you to have help with the domestic duties. It sounds as if you've an awful lot of comings and goings together with regularly minding your lovely, wee granddaughter. You have super-human staying power. Bless you. Thank you for taking the time to update us.

Bella that was very thoughtful of your DH to ask that lady to clean your house- as you said, it is one problem off your mind.

It is possible in this country to get a deduction in car park fees if a patient has cancer- you can but ask.

Keeping the fingers crossed that all goes well tomorrow

and best wishes.

Oh Bella, I'm so sorry to hear that your DH is still so poorly.
Thinking of you all x

Oh dear Bella give my love to H.

Trust me to miss breakfast by calling in late

It has been quite a week. Since DH came out of hospital a week ago, he never got out of bed, feeling weary and looking a terrible colour. On Thursday he phoned the hospital and was told to go in immediately, which we did.

It seems the medication given for the blood clots has caused a gastrointestinal bleed from his tumour. Bless him, he has been without food or drink for four days now. They said he can have yogurt today so I shall take some for him. Tomorrow they are going to go into a vein and try to extract the blood clots that way, as he cannot have the medication any more.

Today I am babysitting DGD until 2pm when DD2 finishes work, then I shall go to the hospital again. I seem to be spending vast sums of money in their car park, but hey ho (if I may quote Bags)

On a brighter note, I have a lovely, clean house thanks to DH asking one of the cleaners at the hospital if she would be interested in helping us out. She has been twice now, a sweet girl from the Philippines, so it is one less worry for me and she is glad of the extra cash.

Weather here is gorgeous which certainly helps cheer the mood

Take care, granspals and I wish you all a peaceful Sunday

And you, soop. You may find that your celebrations catch up with you later, and you will need a nap by that fire.

Yay! Ta dah! A bight and breezy good morning to all you lovely lot...
I slept like a new-born babe and, apart from waking with a terrible dry mouth, I'm in the pink, so to speak.

It's peaceful in here. The coffee smells heavenly. Greek yogurt laced with honey and walnuts, toast and Marmite or marmalade or blackcurrant jam. Now, what shall I have...maybe a taster of each.

Thank you pompa for looking after the girls. You are a real gent.

It is a tad cool here in bonnie Kintyre. The sun is shining and the wavelets are capped in white. Methinks that a leisurely day is in order. We may need to light the fire this afternoon. Enjoy your day.

I have not long crawled out of bed and I had nothing stronger than coffee last night. The local pharmacists will be rubbing their hands with glee knowing that some of you lot have been out and about imbibing.

Thank you Iam64 I love a good marmalade- I will make coffee because I have not touched tea for 50 years.

It is dull and miserable today, Tara my cat has the right idea, she has not moved from my bed.

God morning I have had my cereal Now I have to choose between marmalade or marmite. Off to pour a cup of tea.
No signs of my DGC2 emerging yet. This could go on for another week.

Only even!!!

Tea and toast for me please especially as it's Warburtons,no other will do. It is the moly white bread I eat. Thanks Iam

Good morning all, coffee for me please pompa. My contribution to breakfast is delicious full fat greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts, help yourselves.

Iam I was just popping in to leave a couple of sachets of Resolve for soop but I do hope she awakes with a clear head
