Most of us on here have had support from you both over the years and we are here now whenever or if ever you want to vent. Often writing your feelings down really helps, so we are all here to listen.

Rare Eddie99 Posted December 30, 2023 #53927 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Avril, I hope you’re sleeping soundly as I write this and will wake up feeling a little bit refreshed ready for the day ahead. Things always seem dramatic and dark in the wee small hours but let’s hope Frank rested well and today will see the start of the tests and treatment to get him back on his feet and your situation back to comfortable normality We’ll await the next bulletin x 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adawn47 Posted December 30, 2023 #53931 Share Posted December 30, 2023 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 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both hope you managed to get some sleep to refresh you a bit for what’s obviously a very difficult time. At least he’s in the right place, and quickly too, so with luck - and a lot of love from you, which will make a huge difference - you’ll have him back in bed again with you very soon.

I understand that you don't want to burden your children (though I doubt they would see it as such) and a forum like this can be a helpful way to share your anxieties, with people who do care. I'll echo others who say please do take good care of yourself. Hoping for good news from you before too long. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be at the hospital now but hopefully we'll hear from you later. I hope Frank is a bit better today and they have got him on some strong medicine for the pneumonia. This must have been so scary for you both - especially the thought of being apart. You've always been a great support to me on here Avril as you have for a lot of us - you're always there. Well we're always here for you now so when you need a chat there are many hundreds of listening ears ready and waiting. I send you both thoughts and prayers, love and best wishes.

I don't watch any of the soaps. Scriptwriters ( loose definition ) think everybody in the country lives in the pub, eat in the cafe and have their cars fixed in local garages. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been watching it since the very first episode in 1963, but this is way, way beyond anything it’s ever managed before. Our daughter hasn’t watched it since Sylvester McCoy, but their whole family are converts now. David Tennant is a remarkable actor, but the new guy’s made an excellent start. Guess I’m in a tiny minority here? Sorry Harry. This was the first time I have watched Dr Who in years. The ' monsters ' and the enemy craft were a direct rip off from Star wars. All pretty childish IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk chocolate Just Brazil's were massively much better sellers than Plain chocolate Just Brazil's which is why it is harder to find the plain chocolate variety as supermarkets delist products if they don't make sales targets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted December 30, 2023 #53950 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The postman has just delivered the agenda for the first AGM that I have to attend in 2024. I am annoyed because they are asking for nominations for team captains for next year and some kind (not) person has nominated me twice despite the fact that at the end of last season meeting I made it very clear that I would not under any circumstances act as captain or vice-captain for any team. I feel that I have done more than my share of captaincy and club secretary roles over the years. I can now anticipate a fun meeting on 12th January. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
