General Chat

Sorry I have not been on today I haven't been very well and my right arm is so painful it is hard to move it to type. There is no news as usual from Rachel and Joyce is still not very well. If I am missing tomorrow I am giving my arm a rest, but be on if Rachel has baby obviously, can't wait, anyone would think it was my granddaughter.

Sorry to hear your arm is playing up, hope you and Dutch have a peaceful night, xx

Caz, sorry to hear that your arm is playing! Take care and look after yourself.

Dutch, I hope that you feel better soon, look after yourself, too. Hope Rachel has her baby before too long!

Thank you Caz for keeping us updated with the news.

Speak soon,

Sallie.

Morning all, not so bright and sunny at the mo but through the trees I can see a fiery red ball sparkling so sun is getting up at last! Hedgehogs have been for their dinner again last night, I only spotted one but the food is all gone so maybe more than one turned up to party!

I didn't phone you Caz cos I thought you might want to rest that arm, hope it feels better soon and hope Dutch you are staying upright and taking care of yourself. Nice to chat last evening.

Love
Lizxxx

Another hot and humid day to muddle through.

Thanks for the updates Liz and Caz.

Hope that Caz and Joyce will be feeling better soon.

(( Hugs)) to you both.

Hello all, I had a long conversation with Joyce this morning, she is still not good but the worry over Rachel is getting to her I think. Rachel is not answering her phone so Joyce gets worried. She has decided to come over to England to be near her family, she will stay with her friend in Liverpool then go to Yorkshire to see Rachel before going back home with her other granddaughter who's due to fly out soon for Joyce's birthday. The only problem was the airfare, Jan's mum has given her the money for it but it will be her birthday present, Joyce is a bit 'miffed' as she won't get a pressie now lol, but she is pleased really as it's worked out nicely.
Joyce has said she will take this as a rest break as well and try to relax more over here, I hope she gets her feet up more as well while chatting to her friend.
She flies out early Sunday morning, I won't hear from her so much but will keep putting any news on this thread if you want to look in, as I'm sure Liz will do as well, put any news on I mean.

Thanks for all the updates Caz. I think being in England will do Joyce good. Hope she enjoys her stay nack home.
Hope you are feeling better today Caz.
((((((HUGS)))))) to you both
Love Mary xx

Hi Caz ,

Thank you for letting us know about Joyce! She will probably be better being nearer her family, she can then see for herself how things are!
I wish Rachel would answer the phone, at least it would put Joyce's mind at rest a little bit. When I phone my son or daughter and can't get a reply, when I know that they should be at home,I start thinking all kind of things.

I'm sure Joyce is just the same! I hope, while she's over here that she will also go to see one of the doctors at the surgery her friend goes to. Maybe they can sort something out for her.

Anyway Caz, I hope your arm is a easier today and are able to use it a bit more. Take care!
Thank you for your Birthday Wishes on Jeniwren's thread.

Speak to you soon.

Sallie.

That's exactly it Sallie, if Joyce sees for herself the situation her mind will be at rest. I don't know why Rachel keeps her phone off but Joyce is bound to worry when Rachel tells her she is getting pains in stomach then next her phone is turned off.
Mary I also think it will do her good, but after a few days she starts missing Jan so I hope it doesn't spoil her holiday.
I keep forgetting to thank you all for your kind messages and wishes for me, so busy with Joyce, so thank you all.
My arm hurts so much I have to lift it with my left arm, it won't get better but is controlled by painkillers most of the time, thanks for your concern.
I'm off for afternoon rest now, be back later.

Caz xx

Hi Caz,
Hope you felt a bit better after your afternoon rest.

You just take care of yourself, and rest as much as you can.

Speak soon.

Best wishes,

Sallie.

Hope you will feel better while you are resting more and not posting so much Caz. Will try and call you sometime but you know I am thinking about you often.

Joyce, hope you will feel better after visiting Rachel and will be rested and maybe even see a doctor in England, to get youself sorted out properly. Not sure that lot in Holland know what to make of you lol
Take care, and slow down a bit now, and think of yourself and Jan for a while. Don't want you ill for your birthday now.

Love to both of you and all our pals,

Lizxxx

Thanks Sallie and Liz, I used to hate it when doctor made me spend afternoons resting, but I love it now and usually sleep as I don't during the night. I was going to go earlier but kept finding little jobs to do.
Haven't spoke to Joyce today but she is ringing tomorrow, she sent me a pm saying she was up early with pain again, wish she could get it sorted.

Caz xx

Hi Caz,
I'm hoping that Joyce will be able to see one of her friend's G.P's while she is over here. The doctors over there don't seem to be taking much notice of her. It would be nice if she can get sorted out.

Hope your arm is feeling less painful today, Caz. Enjoy your afternoon rest. At least the weather is cooler, so you will feel a bit more comfortable. Take care!

Liz, hope all is well with you.

Enjoy your weekend, both of you.

Best wishes,

Sallie.

Best wishers to you both hope you are feeling better

Hello Dutch......just back from Sussex so no idea really whats going on other than you are coming to the UK ref Rachel. Hope all is ok. For gawd sake take it easy.

Take care:o)

Hello Caz....hope you are ok too:o))

jude :o) xx

Joyce, I hope things work out for your son and d.i.l, shame you can't stay there but best off out of it, and try to help from a distance. Your d.i.l. needs help from her local mental health team so try and get your son to get her to the doctor first off so he can explain the problems if she won't. My friend from Miami called me earlier and I can't get through to her about ocd, her own sister here in Norfolk has it and made her visit here last summer really difficult with her constant cleaning and not letting anyone sit in the lounge, the only rooms they use are their bedrooms, the kitchen/ diner and the downstairs shower room, she even made my friend take all her things out of the suitcases to go upstairs as she said the suitcases were grubby from travelling so not allowed in the bedrooms. My friend's son won't go again as he felt unwanted there, yet the family love each other, she just won't accept she has a problem. That's the worst thing about ocd, you have to first accept you have a problem and be prepared to ask for help. My friend kept saying but ' I told her she doesn't need to keep cleaning', and she can't understand why her sister didn't take any notice. Ocd is so hard for non sufferers to understand.

Try not to worry too much tho Joyce, have a safe journey

love
Lizxx
