Frank's on 1500ml too. The nurse said tonight that he would be coming home a new man. Which will disappointing for for him as he'll be coming home to the same old woman. Happy new year Mr & Mrs kalos.x Avril

Good evening all. A quick update for those who asked. No more transfusions today, so I hope that's the last and no more needed. Still on IV antibiotics and heart and BP normal. He's sleeping a lot and his appetite is improving. I will know more on Tuesday A special thank you to @Eglesbrech for your post, it was very reassuring . You told me more in one short post than anyone else since he was first admitted, and I did ask. Thank you again.x Almost the end of another year, and I wish all my virtual cc friends A Very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2024. We have all had our troubles this year in one way or another, and we have come together to support each other as any real family would. I am grateful to @Host Sharon for this continuing thread which has been an important lifeline for many since 2020. ✨✨✨ A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE🍾🥂

I'm on my way now kalos. Goodnight. Avril.

I got back home at 8.15pm and enjoyed a nice bowl of soup and a decent coffee, soa quick update. Frank's just had a 3rd transfusion. They're struggling to get his heamaglobin levels up which is worrying me more than anything at the moment. His appetite has improved and he's on a low salt diet and fluid restriction. It's all really confusing. Tomorrow will hopefully be a little clearer. Avril

Good morning and thankyou for your lovely posts. they are very calming. It helps to post, even if they're scrolled past. I don't want to burden the children with all my personal worries, they're worried enough and I don't want to add to them. I managed 5 hours of sleep last night,I was exhausted. Now I need to try to eat more than a quick snack now and then. I know I need to eat. but I honestly have no appetite. I'm back at hospital for 11am and have some more washing to get done so I'll go. Thank all again.x Avril

Ive just got back from the hospital' Frank was admitted yesterday morning at 5.20am and it's been hectic. After tests he has Pneumonia,and severe anemia.which needed 2 tranfusions.To top it off he probably has a heart murmer too, he's having a heart xray to see what it is or could be. In his 78 years it's the first time he's been in hospital and everything's come at once. Almost 59 years married and the first time we've not not slept in the same bed, it's really strange and I'm not sleeping. Sorry for the late post, but I needed to chat. I'll try and read though the posts tomorrow. Avril

The remainder of ours will be stored in our outdoor cupboard. Also know as 'The Wheelie Bin'😁 Avril

Good morning everyone from a dull, and miserable corner of South Yorkshire. It's pouring down and very dark and windy here at a the moment, unfortunately it's forecast for the rest of the week too😒 I shall cheer myself up by sorting out the seeds and planning the gardenand greenhouse for spring. I think many of us, myself included, will be taking a leaf out of Josy's book and clearing out the remainder of Christmas and begining a more healthier diet. I spent some time yesterday revising a new menu and I'm currently waiting for my first 'healthy' Asda delivery this month😁 Have a good day everyone whatever the weather. Keep warm and dry.x Avril

YouTube too. Avril

Morning everyone and I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day. Clear skies and sunshine today, but bloomin' nippy out, we had a frost overnight. Well, all over for another year, just clearing up and lazing about for me today. The traditional bubble and squeak, pork pie, cold cuts and pickles, aka known as leftovers, for us. Luverly 😋 Have good day everyone wherever you are and whatever youre up to.🥂 Avril

A difficult time for you. Have a lovely dinner with your sister and neices and best wishes for a peaceful 2024. Avril

Good morning everyone, and a very Merry Christmas🎅🛷🎁 Overcast and damp here this morning, but mild. We will be having a fairly quiet day today. It was busy yesterday with dinner for the family and exchanging of presents, so were looking forward to a more relaxing day with christmas dinner for just four of us. @grapau27 I hope Sarah had a lovely birthday. @Dorset cruise fan @mercury7289 I hope you're both feeling better soon and take care. @Josy1953 Wishing you and your family a peaceful christmas. I hope Santa has been kind to everyone, because I know you've all been good and deserve to be spoilt. Enjoy your day all wherever you are and whatever you're up to😉🥂 Avril x

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you recover quickly, No need to cancel the fun, simply delay it until later. Take care, Avril

Before I sit down to our Christmas Eve Dinner and a few😁 glasses of wine, I thought I would post our christmas wishes now while I'm still coherent☺️ To all my dear CC friends, the occasional posters and the lurkers Frank and I wish each and every one you a Very Happy Christmas🥂🎄 Eat,drink and be merry, for tomorrow we....... can do it all over again🍗🥂 With our very best wishes Avril & Frank xx

+3 Better make that + 4 instead😁 Avril

Do you know you've left some incriminating evidence Freddie? Don't worry, mums the word🤫😉 Avril

I don't know. Joe told me and I thought he was joking so I asked Mr Google and sure enough , most are closed but some in certain areas will be open for a few hours. Possibly motorway services as you say. 😏 Avril

Well of course you are Graham. The most important job of all, and of course you must sample them to make sure they are perfect for the feast. Hic... excuse me🥴 Avril

There are some McDonald's restaurants opening on Christmas Day🙄 Avril

You'll be on the naughty step zap if you use four letter words like that😲 Avril

My youngest grandson will be 27 on Christmas Day, so that's another one for your list. Avril

I have to admit that we're better off being retired, but we had to plan for it. It also helps not having any travel costs either☺️ Avril

My mistake Phil, it's almost 14 years so I'll have to wait a little longer for my clock😁 Avril

Congratulations. Enjoy it and have fun. You'll wonder how you ever found the time for work. Avril

Almost 14 years for us Phil and it's still good. The best job we've ever had☺️ Avril
