Jan thinking of you both. Will text Joyce later to see if it's ok to ring xx Take care

Purple Liz.....that makes very good sense, not thought of it like that before. And l can understand in a way why Dutch does'nt want to renew....she'll only worry about others....but she'll be missed on here, she's such a character.

Take care Dutch and Jan.

Just to let you all no thank you ,the docter we had before did speak english but i had to take time off work to take Joyce there,and the docter he changed the lady who makes appts and she could,nt fit us both in for the diabete clinc,so i told her i was finding another dockter which i have but hes polish and only speaks Dutch as well,but no english,its very small villiage we live in,but the lady nexts door her younger son as just married apolish lady who is taking her final exam as translate,but had to finish her couse in Poland but will be back in dec and shes going to help Joyce ,if and when she goes the docters,also must add it takes 30 mins for my wife to walk to the docters,and she cant make it that far on her own,its like catch 22 but thank you for your thoughts,so when she goes the hospital in England she is going to get him to transfer the x-rays over here ,shes so worried about her son beening ill he has told her not to worry ,but how can you not worry over your children,i would,nt no as never had children,and thank you Claddagh for your message ,im now going back to bed
Jan

I send my best wishes to Joyce and hope that she is able to get answers and medical advice from the doctors there to help her.
Take care of yourself too Jan. I hope you soon feel better.

What a nice man Jan is. Not met him but his personality comes over in his posts for Dutch.

Jan, you are indeed a treasure. I haven't met you either. Joyce sent me a photo of the two of you - you both look so happy. Take care, the both of you.

Talked to Joyce earlier and she didn't sound well again. She has a lot of worries at the moment. Thank you all for your post's and keeping Joyce and Jan in your thoughts.

In my thoughts xxx

Let's hope Jan will be feeling better soon and that they both have better health in the not too distant future, when Joyce gets her diagnosis and whatever is necessary to help her.
Knowing what ails her son and what can be done, might stop her worrying quite so much, so let's hope his diagnosis is not as bad as she is thinking it is and he can get the right treatment and be well again too

At least there is the new little greatgrandson to look forward to, in December I think?

love and hugs to a smashing couple, Joyce and Jan,

Just to update ,im going the docters this morning to get something for my cough,and Dutch is going to shes not well and not sleeping and is having pains in the top half of her back,and i can tell the dockter whats wrong with her,will let you no what he says i was going to go to work this morning but my wife had other ideas ,she said o know your not your full of cold and got bad cough

Docter has said for me to stay off work for few days till the cough gets abit better and also the cold,if you off for more than three days the Health people send for you ,and if they think you are ok then you have to go back to work i had pumonia afew years back ,went to see there docters and they told me i had to go to work my own docter said i was,nt fit but they said i was and what they say goes,Dutch even got intouch with the union but they could,nt help i got letter on the satu if your not at work monday you dont get any money,that was after i had xray from the hospital saying what i had i , it cuts know ice with them so went back to work
The docter has seen Dutch and she told him about her lung ,he could,nt believe that they did,nt give her any medication she told him she has to go back the hospital in England,the docter here has got wheelchair for here so she dos,nt have to walk far ,as she has aritrosa in her feet ,legs and spine and neck,then shes going to get her treatment over here,thank you all for your support for my wife and me,the other problem is its hard for her to get her breath when walking so the chair will make it easy for her
best wishes Jan

Jan thank you for letting us know how you both got on at the doctors today. How could you think of going back to work when you have the flu! Hope a few days rest will see you well enough to go back soon. And dear Dutch, hate to think of her going through so much pain and worry. My thoughts are with you both xx

Hello Dutch and Jan:o)

Thank you Jan for your update, poor Dutch she really is suffering, thats really good news to here she's having treatment in Holland.
You must look afteryourself as well, although l can understand the difficulties you have with your works. What a mean lot they are!!

Take care and love to Dutch:o)

Thanks for the update Jan. Hope you and Joyce will be feeling beter verry soon.
Take care both
Love Mary xx

Had a call from our Joyce,just as I got in today so good timing!
Still lots going on - Jan I hope you feel better for the time off work and the rest, but understand how you feel you have to go to work to keep the money coming in - so many bosses are selfish and don't care about the welfare of their staff. They should realise that the better they look after the staff the more work and loyalty they will get back, how can they expect you to crawl into work, you would be spreading bugs to the others anyway. Make sure you breathe hard at the boss when you go back and make him sick lol then he might see the sense of letting you have more time off.

take care, the pair of you,

love
Lizxxx

Thanks for the update Jan. Hope you and Joyce will soon be feeling lots better. Take care of each other.
