Just to update you....

My sister in usa is having her double masectomy tomorrow bless her, she's had such an awful week worrying about it. Everything has been organised re the boys, who's having them and when etc, she's been busy in the back yard (as they call it), its quite big really and getting the house all ship shape.Her daughter is going to be there for her to help (she is just such a lovely girl). We have each others mobile numbers etc...........
So its fingers crossed and positive thoughts now:o))))

Vic sister is having her 2nd months session of treatment,( 2 sessons per month), she has to go Tues and Wed, yesterdays would have beenthe worst!!. Her hisband is doing really well and is driving about again, has his oxygen tank with him 24-7.

My b i l fell in the river Wye a few weeks ago, infact he and my Vic were canoeing and they capsized. He said it was the most frightening thing being dragged along holding onto the canoe and hitting the rocks. l had a phone call from Vic to say what had happened and had to dash to the canoe depot with blankets and dry clothes etc, what a staight they were in. It was b i l birthday present, don't think he wants to go again!!!! We had to call an ambulance, fortunately he had'nt broken anything. His knees are almost heeled now, but he now has gout in his foot and is in so much pain.

Other than that we are fine:o))

Glad they were both OK

Jude, hope your sister's op goes ok - I am sorry I never got the heart cushion pattern to you, did you manage to get any or make her any as they can help to bring a little comfort for her after the op.

The canoeing episode sounds scary, I am glad things weren't worse in the end tho.

Hope all the others suffering will find things get better as time goes on, glad Vic's sister's hubby is driving now and coping well. Let hope his wife can get through her treatment with as little pain and discomfort as possible.

Take care of yourself, sounds as tho you are supporting everyone so give yourself a bit of a break now and then, before it all gets too much.

Positive thoughts to all

Jude, best wishes to your sister, hope all goes well for her.
And also to the other family members who are unwell, having treatment, damp (Vic)! and worn out (you!).


((((((hugs))))))

Thanks everyone:o)

l woke up thinking would she be on her way now, but of course she's about 7hrs behind us so they will be asleep now, atleast l think its that long, she's in Colorado.

Liz...no l have'nt yet, must admit l forgot, but l did send some money and a nice necklace with real flowers in it, which she loves. The cash will go towards her false boobs:o))))

The canoe situation was scary for me once l 'd had the phone call so for them it must have been horrendous. Vic wants to go again but b.i.l. doesnt!!
The annoying thing was a neighbour is an instructor for outdoor pursuits, he wanted to go with them but could'nt go that particular day. He would have tied their canoe to his at that rapid, its known to be very dangerous and people have died there.

Take care everyone and thanks again

Glad the op is over for her Jude, hope her recovery is quick and she soon has the drains removed.

Sister not having a good time. One drain and wound are infected. The other drain should have come out yesterday, but not sure if it did. She was addmitted to A & E on Saturday night, in alot of pain, but could'nt stay in because the hospital was in such a filthy staight. She's not had any visits from nurses or docs, only help is via the help line!! Remember she has had both breasts removed and home within 24hrs!!!!!!!
She was emailing most days, saying how much it helps, but not heard now since Sunday and l'm abit worried! l phoned her about 20 mins ago and left a message.

Jude, I am sorry your poor sister is having such a bad time, and hope she can get some help soon to relieve the pain and get the infection cleared up. I think someone on here had a similar problem but can't remember who, maybe Vicky ?

Did you manage to get the heart cushion pads?
