> JV I admire yr efforts with looking after yr mum my mum would be 75 this year and I still miss her I lost her in 1977 from BC I reckon my life would have been a whole lot better with her in it. However they say God has a plan for each of us and everything happens for a reason I just wish he coulda left me with someone else like my mum or dad, sister or a brother aunt uncle. Arh well.

> Miss I'm going to church to enrich my social circle as I currently in Townsville dont have any1 much that gives a toss about me. Also I need to believe that God has a plan for me and that my life and my sons is worth something. I believe in God and Jesus and thyat if God can send his son to earth to have what happened to him happen than I can conquer my grief perhaps. I have to believe..it is what will psuh my forward. Sorry to babble...its good to be able to chat to you wonderful people to air ones thoughts.


Hi Nef yes our lives are supposed to be all mapped out for us..........on the bad days one just has to get up and box on regardless........i do know that some days can be rather rough:) I lost my darling Dadda many years ago hed be 95 now if still alive...........there is not a day goes by that i dont think of him:)

> Top of the afternoon everyone!
>
> JVH - such a relief your mum is peaceful - I hope she stays comfortable. Is she able to at least watch t.v? Or listen to music? So sad for her and for you. Stay strong!
>
> Purple - nothing like a new hair-do to perk you up! Glad you are feeling better. I expect you will miss your family while they are in Singapore. I loved Singapore - especially singapore slings at Raffles!
>
> Hello Dame - your posts always shine my day too! Congrats on the air-con and getting the tradie to install. It will make such a difference to your 'oldie'. Nice of Mr. Beam to toil with the tint - it will be well worth it when 'hot chillie' is in all her glory!!
>
> Hey libby - totally agree regards your son. Sorry for his ankle (same as mine by the sounds) - I was supposed to go for ultra as well on it (but haven't as it is improving) hope his does too! As for the work experience couldn't agree more. It is totally in his best interest to learn responsibility to help him in his future.

> Nef I am so proud of the way you climbed out of that dark hole you were in a while back. That took real courage and determination - well done! So sorry you lost your mum so young - I'm sure that such a tragedy has not helped with depression. They say time is a great healer - but I find time just allows you to get used to it and not over it. I sincerely hope you find some lovely friends within your church and more power to you for making such a huge effort. I have never been to Townsville but would love to get there one day!!

> Pjbear hope you are doing well and feeling stronger after your hospital trip. Yours is not an easy road either - best wishes and good vibes your way!
>
> Was home alone last night while OH had an overnighter in the city - so naturally I heard every creak/noise to be heard lol. A lovely warm sunny day here today - so instead of tackling another room - may go pull some weeds!

> Have a fantastic day everyone!!!


Hi Miss and thanks for asking after Mother

We have her in a lovely room painted a soft lemon and lovely window outlook to some stunning azaeleas........hung some lovely pics the other day one she used to be very familar with..........but unfortunatlely her eyes have been a blank for a long time now.

My son visited her last week........there was no recognition.....no pupil dilate or contraction no eye movement following him no hand squeezing..........

The Welsh have a saying the last mile is the hardest........and as Dadda was Welsh........i think this saying sort of says the stage where she is at:(

I have had massive rows with the Doctor about her medication.......he is following the law to the last cross on the t:(

However my son made an appointment and went and saw him and took him to task over him not upping her pain meds opiates etc I had previously said to the Doc how would you like to see your mother /father in that state., his answer was a blank stare:(

He has a marvellous manner but for want of a better word is passive aggressive in the nicest way")

Anyways both myself and my son are on his case........and everytime i visit i ask to see Mothers chart to see that the pain level is staying at the increased level:)

She has a tv and lovely music in her suite but she doesnt seem to even look at it:(

hi all, well its a very warm day here in Adelaide, I want winter back..I dont handle the heat at all!
I am feeling ok today, and hafta go to the shops soon , grrr! Naji is looked after by friends when I go into hospital..and my mail is collected by a neighbour...

The blood test is tomorrow and I am hoping that it comes back ok!!! I cant handle any more hospital time.....

It's not very fair on me or Naji, all this time apart from each other,,,

hope you are all okay, and that things are looking up!

Hugs Bear on the Liver Function Test...........fingers crossed that this time it is more acceptable

Just going out for a walk with the hound and to clear the old head:)

Hi everyone, PJ, I hope the liver tests are good too. Nothing worse than waiting.
I have just increased my family by 2. My sis's partner was involved in an accident last Thursday and suffered a broken shoulder blade. Today, after seeing 4 doctors already and some of them several times since.... and being sent home Thursday night, he has been rushed to the Wesley to have his spleen removed. He was on a big motorbike and was hit by a car, the car driver did not give way.
My nieces aged 9 and 12 are staying with us for now.

Hugs Karen i so hope all will be well .......im not a great lover of motor bikes:(

Thanks JV, I have to say, nor am I. However, he is 55 and has been riding for well over 30 yrs and has never had an accident before.
My boys used to have big bikes but recently have gone to only dirt bike riding. My 2 dil's also ride. One of my grandies wants to ride now. 😞

And the waiting is the hardest part...........always the fear of the unknown:(
