Good Morning Monday

Know what you mean Gabriella, but I think you have set the cat among the pigeons!!!!

Not for me.
It was a mistake to post again on here.
Same old crew can't help themselves. Have to have a target which ignores the subject of the thread. Can't wait to spit venom.
Well, have fun and talk amongst yourselves.
A communal back slapping fest.
Best wishes to all the rest ? who at least retained some dignity.

Good morning from a sunny Market Harborough area. Off to a friend's funeral this afternoon and then drs at teatime.

Sending love and hugs to Gillybob.

Good morning from a frosty Cheshire, had to scrape the ice off the car this morning, winter is here! Was good to hear that Gillybob had some positive news, I have been following her story for a couple of weeks now, hopefully her husband's health has turned a corner at last. Today is my day for looking after my 1 year old grandson who has just started trying to talk, it's lovely to hear him trying to repeat words which to me, all sound the same at the moment! He can however say MORE very clearly especially if it involves food

Bright and crisp on the Isle of Wight but my dry-eyes are driving me nuts!

That’s great news Gillybob. It may take a while, but it sounds as if your DH is fighting his way back out to you. Keep squeezing his hand! Are you looking after yourself? I hope so! Xx

Gillybob that does sound much more reassuring.
As for the nurse in question, the bottom line for me would be is she the best she can be at her job ?
Worry about her manner later when your H is truly on the mend, but for now, swallow your feelings and look for the positives

I am not a regular poster on this thread (not up early enough ?) but I do pop in and read through. All I can say is if anyone objects to this thread they must be mad. I think it’s a lovely thread. People wishing each other good morning and talking about their day and caring for each other. Best sort of thread to have in my opinion.
Take care all and love to gillybob x

Understand the frustration with the nurse, gilly , I'm not sure what I would do either. I'm truly happy that your husband is able to respond to you. A long road ahead so stay strong and think about each positive, sending love to you, your husband and family.

Good morning all from a sunny SE Wales.
The washing machine is beeping so I should go and attend to it; the washing should dry outside today!

I hope those on here with coughs colds etc, recover quickly.
Marydoll do you have any ginger tablets? They are supposed to help with nausea.

Maw a poignant day for you and your DD1.

gilly my jaw dropped when I read what that nurse called your DH - patients should be treated with more respect than that. I'm glad to hear he is responding, a small step forward.

Just popping in to see if there's any news from gilly

Glad there's something positive happening at last. Hang on in there, gilly. Small steps on the road to recovery but nevertheless they are signs of improvement.

Sending a hug.

Good morning from Fuerteventura, sun is warming up, just hoping for a nice clear day after yesterday. We are doing very little at the moment, may go to a beach later - DP feels he needs to get in the sea - not sure if I’ll follow. Probably pop to the mercado later to get some bits to keep us going til we head for home at the weekend. I don’t look at many threads on GN but came to this one as it’s a bit of simple grounding to start my day and that’s what I like. Have a good day.

Looking a lot more positive Gillybob fingers crossed your DH improves from now on.

Great to hear that DH is making some progress Gilly. We're all still keeping you in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
Hope we all get to enjoy some sunshine today.

? ?? Gillybob

PS
thoughts still with Gilly and I hope Mary gets get nausea tablets xxxx

Morning All , I thought I had posted earlier ????
It is really cold and frosty out now , I had Youngest and her Youngest here at the week end and it is so Quiet now they are away . I have a wash on and will hang it out for a while , but no hopes of it drying , but it will smell nice and fresh
Bit of shopping later to replanish the fridge , and the rest of the day slobbing in the warmth of the house trying to ignore the cleaning

Think peeping through those clouds Gillybobs and things going in the right direction. A long journey maybe but we are with you every step of the way!xxx

Welcome Parsley3

Good morning Michael, Annie, and all. It is dry and bright, but cold here, in our corner of Berks.

Now who on earth could think we were cliquey? Bit of sour grapes, perhaps?

Sorry to hear that Marydoll is feeling poorly. Perhaps try the ginger biscuit remedy, but take care of yourself.

Our chap came on time to service the boiler, how quickly a year goes by!

The neighbours, across the way, have had a very large tree cut down this morning. We will miss the blossoms, but not the mess it makes when they all drop. Also their house now looks 'naked', but the front garden is small, and the tree was rather large.

Had an email from DD, to say that she can pop over later, which will be lovely. They came back from holiday at the weekend, and she is supposed to be catching up on the washing ?

We also have to be in to take delivery of some large, heavy duty rubber mats for the garage. Time wise, who knows?

I shall finish the sleeves of the jumper I am knitting, then start on the sewing up. That's the bit I don't really enjoy.

Hoping Gillybobs DH, continues with tiny, forward steps of improvement.
Have a good day one and all.

Good Morning All x
A lovely bright crisp sunny morning----just right for hanging washing out.

A quick trip to the local shops then a pan of pea soup to make with the left-over mushy peas from yesterday and some thick cuts of ham in the freezer. That'll keep me going !

Sip some soda water Marydoll that should settle the tum. Nausea isn't nice and happens with a lot of medications.
A drop of dry ginger too.

I hope everyone's fine and thoughts are never far from the Gillybobs xx
Enjoy this lovely day if you have sunshine, as long as you're on the go with it being cold.

Hello, gilly. Our posts crossed. I'm so pleased to read this more positive news. Sending you hugs.?

Good morning all,

Greyduster is right - the rain has stopped and we have sunshine!!!

Going to my coffee morning group shortly, I missed it last week because of the awful weather and risk of the local river misbehaving.

Welcome, Parsley.

To all feeling under the weather or worried, I hope things improve as the day progresses. Thinking especially of gilly.

Good morning from the NE coast.

Another fairly positive day for DH yesterday only spoiled at 8.30 pm when the shift changed . As soon as I saw the nurse who was taking over my heart sank . Not saying she is a bad nurse at all but I really dislike her patronising almost passive aggressive attitude.....and if she calls my DH (68 years old) a “naughty boy” once more I shall not be responsible for my actions ! There that’s off my chest. Phew .

Anyway yesterday the sedation taken down very low again and ventilated oxygen reduced considerably too. He was quite agitated and unable to make any eye contact but I was given some simple exercises to try with him and I am sure he was responding. For example “squeeze my hand when I say your name” and other very simple tasks. The tears were rolling down my cheeks . Please please please let the man I love still be in there fighting to get out.

The lovely day nurse and weekend consultant told me that they “ were reasonably happy with his tests” yesterday morning which is not as good as I expected but better than “not happy at all” I suppose. They said that because he has been in a coma for so long it will be very hard for him to just “snap out” and getting back to any kind of normal could be a very long way off.

I shall see what today brings. Not sure if I should mention the night nurse (she will probably be back tonight as they tend to stick with the same patients and usually do 3 in a row) or just let it go. I can’t bear the thought of him being treat with disrespect .

Thank you all again for your good wishes, prayers and kind words . Blimey if we could harness them all together DH will be back to his old self sooner rather than later.

It really does cheer me to know there are so many of my lovely virtual Gransnet friends routing for him. Hurray for Gransnet.

I hope that others who are struggling with worries and ill health feel the very soon and to those lucky enough to be enjoying happy times, long may they continue. Life really is too short and none of us know what’s around the corner do we?

Have a good Monday everyone .

Love Gilly xx

Oh and I love that photo Marydoll I would love to blow it up and put it right over DH’s bed. Seems so appropriate.

Good morning Mick and all of his followers! Blue skies in Suffolk although it is a bit chilly. There are no builders today, so a rather late start - again! The lemongrass and ginger cordial in green bottles is very nice and might help the nausea Marydoll? Lovely photo.
Welcome Parsley and warm hugs to all who need them.
