Dull, damp and overcast this morning and 3c. @lincslady I hope you're alright after your fall. As a regular 'tripper upper', I know wnat a shock it can be. Good that they changed your meds as that was some of my problem. There's no tablets for clumsiness though. Frank is still in hospital and waiting for the colonoscopy to try to find the reason for his low hb levels. It could be this morning as they stopped one of his tablets yesterday because of the test🤞 He's still cheerful and eating well, he just wants his own bed. I wish I could be the same. I've been putting on a cheerful front for everyone, but inside I;m quietly falling apart. At least I can be myself on here with my cc friends. Take care everyone and enjoy your day x Avril Thank you for taking the time to update us. Hopefully he will be home again soon. I know how hard it can be putting on a strong front for everyone else, when it is the last thing you are feeling. Everyone here is wishing Frank a speedy recovery and is also concerned about you too. Take care of yourself, sending you both my best wishes and some virtual hugs🤗 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than most of the R2 play list nowadays. Blue Monday by New Order is one of my favourite tracks, I still have it on 12” that I bought in the 80’s Michelle 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my GP visit yesterday - unfortunately I fell in the house on Monday, no broken bones thank goodness but some bruising and stiffness on one side. So a friend took me as I didn't feel able to drive. Outcome, very nice Dr., high bp means treatment for 3 weeks then hopefully go on anticoags. On a new bp tablet. Results at home a bit better already. More importantly, we haven't yet heard from Avril - hoping to get good news from you soon. Hope you are feeling ok after your fall and don’t have too much bruising Michelle 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted January 10 #54305 Share Posted January 10 @Adawn47 it is good to hear from you. I hope that Frank has his colonoscopy today so that you will know what you are dealing with and what his treatment will be next. It is a good sign that he is staying cheerful and is eating. 🤞that it wil be good news and that he will be home soon. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut006 Posted January 10 #54306 Share Posted January 10 I have just been catching up with all the posts, we all have lots going on don’t we? Following my second mammogram last week I had a telephone call from radiographer, all is good and no further treatment required other than another mammogram in December. On the dog front, she had a check up at the Eye Hospital in Penrith yesterday, all is going well, another check up next week. The vet will be booking a Caribbean cruise out of what we have paid out so far!!! Have a good day everyone Michelle 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted January 10 #54307 Share Posted January 10 Chin up Avril Try to turn your thoughts to making plans for the garden for the summer etc, rather than immediate, dark, what-ifs? Fingers crossed the colonoscopy will go ahead today and then everyone will have a better idea of where they stand lincslady - talking of standing ..! I hope you are ok and not too shook up It’s a lovely bright day here today, though perishing cold 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad Frank is cheerful and eating well and it's good that the docs are doing all the necessary things to establish the reason for the low Hb. Let's hope the colonoscopy is today. But (and there's always a but), you are one who goes home at the end of each day, alone, and with only your thoughts for company. It's lonely and scary. I bet you're exhausted with putting on that cheerful front. You can tell by all the recent posts how much we're all rooting for you, so take heart Avril and know you are both in all our thoughts every day. Love and hugs.

lincslady Posted January 10 #54309 Share Posted January 10 Just the same from me, Avril. It is the waiting to find out about things that is almost the worst. Thanks to all for your kind thoughts - wobbliness and slight pains from falling much better today, and best of all bp has already gone down under the new treatment. Remembering to do it twice a day and write it down for 3 weeks is a bit of a pain, but will be worth it. Best wishes to everyone, especially Avril and anyone else waiting for news. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauline was frantic 4 years ago after my heart attack when I was in cardiac care in hospital as I was always fit and strong and it shocked us both. Prayers 🙏 for Frank that he has a clear colonoscopy and the cause of his low HB can be found and sorted. Love and hugs from us both.

Rare P&O SUE Posted January 10 #54321 Share Posted January 10 After a couple of calm days more annoying things today. Trying to register my Mum’s Power of Attorney with M&S and it’s a nightmare! I spoke to someone on Saturday she said she’d send me an email link to upload a copy. Instead of emailing me back they’ve phoned my Mum !! And she can’t talk well. The bank was easy I don’t know why they’re being such a pain! Argh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
