Good Morning Saturday

Just read your post Gillybob, so sorry to hear about y’day, keeping you both in my thoughts & prayers. Love & hugs & please try & look after yourself.

Please do the best you can gilly to look after yourself. I will continue to think of you both even if you don’t feel like posting.

Your pendant is lovely kitty. Thank you for sharing.

Gilly - so sad to read your post today - such a disappointment for you after a few steps forward. Not surprising that you feel as you do. The hospital have said to you that your husband was / is very ill - are they not providing any support for you? A knowledgeable, listening ear? You must really, really need a break and some nurturing. I hope yesterday was a blip and that your husband continues to improve. And I hope you can find ways to look after yourself. Thinking of you xx

So sorry your nightmare is continuing, Gilly. I wish there was more I could do than just send a brief message of support.

Thinking of you.

Good morning a frosty start in Bristol, it has clouded over now but there is still a very cold wind, as my mother always said its a lazy wind it does not go round about you but straight through you.
Waiting excitedly for my daughter to arrive with the DGS its been three weeks since we last saw him. we are all going out to my sons later hopefully for a nice walk and tea at their house, the other DGC are so excited that the baby is coming for a visit.
gillybob I cant express how sorry I am for you in this terrible time my thoughts are with you .
I hope everyone else has a peaceful day.

Good morning Mick & all from frosty, misty Nottingham.
Visit DD this morning. Her partner is going to the match today Kittylester, your pendant looks good.
30th b’day party later, one of DD’s friends.
Your DH reminds me of mine Marydoll I asked him to buy 1 litre milk in red carton last week & he came back with 500 ml in green carton
Hope we have a good spell of dry weather especially areas with floods.
Hope you’re friend is ok Ginny42.
Thoughts are with Gillybob & her DH hope there are more signs of improvement today.
Hope all not well or have worries feel better today.
Have a good day everyone.

Gilly I too will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please try and look after yourself.

Gilly, what can I say, except that we are all praying and hoping for the best for you and your DH.
{{{hugs}}} to you and peace in your heart.

Gilly, I'm heartbroken for you and your husband.
I fear for your health too. You will both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Kitty, I am most impressed by your pendant!

Good morning from a very cold and frosty NE coast.

Well I was warned not to get too excited about slight improvements on Thursday and boy were they right .

Yesterday was one of the worst days by far. They reduced the sedation right down in the morning and what resulted was about 8 hours of absolute hell. Lots of fist banging, grasping the air for things he could obviously see but weren’t there, legs kicking out, pulling at everything in sight and horrible groans through the tracheostomy. All with me trying to hold his hands, stroke his hair and reassure him by repeating the same things over and over in the hope that he would hear my voice. It was agreed that he would be fully sedated again at 4pm . Which was about as much as I could stand.

I don’t think I have cried as many tears in the entire month that I cried yesterday. I am so frightened that the man I knew and love has now gone forever.

We are now into week 5 and I’m not sure how much longer I can go on like this. I am slowly cracking up.

I don’t think I will post for a while now unless I really do have some positive news to share.

Thank you everyone for being so kind and understanding. Thank you for PM’s (I always read them but rarely get chance to reply) good wishes and prayers.

Love to all
Gilly xx

Good morning from a clear by VERY frosty Aberdeenshire. Had a lovely fish and chips supper with friends at the golf club last night, lots of laughter and blethers.
Had a rotten sleep...woke just after four thirty, made a cup of tea and it was stone cold beside the bed this morning!
Am planning another long walk with the mut...he does love meeting all his mates in the woodies and having a good chase. He will need his cosy jacket today.
Marydoll, I haven't heard "sweetie wifie" for years, not since I was training in what remained of the Gorbals....must remember it!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Sorry for the double photo post. It didnt appear on my post and then did!!

I'm not clever at all - there was lots of 'guidance'!!

Good morning from Leicestershire where the sun is burning the frost from the grass.

Love the pendant kitty you are very clever.

Sorry to hear about your health scare sar I know how that feels!

Gosh Mary I do hope you get your meds sorted. I so admire how cheerful you always are and love the story of the golfers. When my DH played he said all they talked about was their various ailments. I would send your DH back to the shop to swap the tins!

Good morning Michael, Annie and all, from a frosty bit of Berks.
When I got out of bed, I wondered why the radiators were cold. Then I remembered that when I was checking the timer, I had left the control turned 'off'.
We are warming up now .
Marydoll, the 'ginger theme is catching. Yesterday I needed to ^bake^, so made a Carrot and Ginger cake.
I have got plenty of Golden Syrup, thank you, also a tin of Black Treacle, after a bit of a hunt for it.
Also made some Lentil curry, which we had last night, with enough to freeze for a couple of meals.
My crocheted Poppy wreath was finished and hung in the window. I wasn't sure if it was maybe a bit OTT, but have decided to keep it there.
Gillybobs, I am hoping that the slight bit of good news continues over the weekend, and that you manage to be good to yourself. Take care.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning from a very rainy Torbay, quiet day today with Grandchildren (both teenagers so don’t need entertaining) will try to get out with the dog in between the rain drops.
Wishing everyone a good day,

Good morning from Shropshire.Woke up to thick frost with snow/sleet forecast this morning.
Another quiet day today which we need to make the most of as something on the calendar every day for the rest of november?
Sending love to gilly.x

Good morning from North Yorkshire where the sun is out! Yesterday’s promising start was a false alarm, it rained all day.
Today I am off the Derbyshire to see the DDs then back early evening for the Thankful Village fireworks display on our playing fields.
Thinking of Gilly and wishing you all a good day.

Good morning all from a very frosty Glasgow, well I think it is. I can hear DH scraping the car in the rush to get his racing paper, just in case they sell out!.
He refuses to order one, he may change his mind!
Perverse is the word to describe him!

We had a lovely lunch at the golf club yesterday, (despite DH advising me on how to negotiate the narrow, very steep, single track road. ? )
We were the only people lunching!! However, there were a number of elderly non- golfers, sitting in the bar , drinking TEA and putting the world to rights.
I had a great time, eavesdropping, they were like a bunch of what we in Glasgow call, old sweetie wives

They had got to the part in the discussion, where they were anxious about their own mortality, discussing who was recently deceased, and wondered about the circumstances of the deaths.
DH was kicking me under the table, to keep me quiet, as I knew the answers to their queries, (being a local worthy, of course). I did keep quiet, but it was so difficult!! .

It set me wondering about the thread on GN about husbands and wives not talking to each other when they are out and about. (Is this a thread about a thread?)
Those gentlemen never shut up! .
They were very entertaining, without even realising it.

My medication (it could be any of the drugs) is making me very nauseous again, so it will be a quiet day for me. I was very sick, ? (too much info), when I got back from the golf lunch.
I have to admit to getting a teeny, weeny fed up with it.

I plan to make a gingerbread loaf with sultanas, as we are bound to have visitors today, who will eat us out of house and home.
Three times I have asked DH to get me black treacle in the RED tin, three times he has brought back Golden syrup in a GREEN tin.
Does anyone have recipes which will use up four tins of Golden syrup? (I already had one in the cupboard.

As always, thinking of Gilly and her husband, hoping for some better news and my thoughts are with people caught up in the terrible floods.

Good Morning from a bright but very cold Fife. Nice to see the sun. Kitty - well done, these are lovely. Not sure what today brings will wait and see how we feel after breakfast. Lovely day yesterday with GS's. Hope Saturday is good to everyone and hoping to hear some news from gilly.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea. DH has been out for the paper and says it's very cold.
Kitty that pendant is lovely, I wish we had courses like that here where I live.
DH has to pick up his 4 pairs of new glasses later and we may visit some of the grandchildren.
I had some unexpected and a bit worrying news about my health yesterday. I need to do some reading up on it.
I hope we have some better news from Gilly today.
Have a lovely Saturday everyone.

Good morning from a frosty and bright South Yorkshire.

We need some dry days, people living in villages near me have had their homes and businesses flooded. The second time in 12 years.

Your pendant is very pretty, kitty. You are clever. ?

Hoping to hear some more positive news from gilly today.

Take care, all.

Good morning from Kent.
It's -1c but bright and suny no frost here.
Well done kitty that's pretty and even better to be able to say you made it.
A few bits to do indoors and then an afternoon spent doing a jigsaw.
Have a good day everyone.
