Just back from getting my blood test results. Quite a relief to be told no sugar in the blood so no problem there, goes to show blood tests without fasting (as i had at my pre op) are not reliable. Even better was the cholesterol test which I asked the nurse to do. HDL 3.4, LDL 1.5. So the statins do work.

Y.Caz thank you for letting us know about Eddie. Please give my love to Angela. It is very difficult to know what to say at this timebut please assure her that there are many people thinking about her

To everyone else, hope your day is a little brighter
Janet

Please let Angela know her sorrow is shared. Eddie's pain is gone, now he can rest. Heartfelt hugs to Angela.

We have a bank holiday today - Victoria Day - I have to work but everyone else is home. headache finally subsided after 2 days.

I am once again surrounded by papers and unopened envelopes. I thought I had it licked but just goes to show this is an ongoing process, not just a one-time spurt. At least there aren't so many to deal with after burning a few by accident last week LOL.
This for me, I think , is a symptom of fear and anxiety. I am petrified to face the bills, because it's currently such a struggle to meet them all.
Last night, on the way home from work, 3 new symbols lit up on my dashboard, I made it home but worried what's wrong with my van now. Everything is closed today so I can't have it checked out. I suspect it's the computer.
Out now to split some irises for a friend, have a good day dear friends.
Love
MAry

Jeannie, Lovely to meet you. I thought I did my hair share of talking, well I tried Lol!!! We will do it again some time.
everyone, Jeannie is lovely and not half as 'fat' as she had led me to believe. We had a good natter anyway.

Hi everyone, I really don't want to put this message up, but I'm sorry to have to tell you that Eddie passed away last night. He was comfortable and I don't think in any pain.
R.I.P. Eddie, God bless you.

Angela we are all here for you.

Caz xx

Thanks for your kind words Ann. I just don't feel confident enough when walking alone there of an evening.

Lovely mild weather, will be setting off soon.

Eileen x

Joyce, the vision left by your last post is of a mermaid????? You said you lived in Loch Lomond for 35 years. good job it was not Loch ness!!

Do get that book to read, it is not a new one so you should be able to get it cheaply on amazon, or from the library. i assure you it is a good read.

Here is hoping your steps will have increased today.

Eileen, enjoy your time with your daughters and stay safe during your long walk.

Betty, loved the Irish blessing, thank you.

Good morning Gill, hope you have a good day today.
Liz, enjoy your peace, don't waste too much of it sleeping!!!

Everyone, looking forward to meeting snow White (Jeannie) in just over an hours time (she has not cancelled yet!!). Bet all your ears will be burning!!

Joyce, the general tone of your postings make you sound like a "spring Chicken". You have kept me, and everyone else, really amused with your 'Tales of Toby'. Haven't been on this board long enough to get to know everybody yet.

Will walk to the station soon, feeling rather virtuous,but am not looking forward to the long trek from one daughter's house to the other this evening, where I sleep over.sil's car is at the garage today.After a long, tiring day, a 25 minute-hike is not something to look forward too, plus there will not be so many people about.....Other daughter has the use of their car, won't be home until fairly later this evening.Hmmmm!

Have a lovely day everyone.

Eileen x

Part two of yesterdays 'Hello again everybody'.......

Eileen who thought I was a spring chicken! I wish xxxxxx
Gail thinking that maybe I had gone zany, again! xxx
Kerry who is feeling more like her own self, and liking the feeling too xxxxx
Kathy who did not mention finding any cash whilst clearing out her sons bedroom. lol xxxxx
Deanna stating how well and healthy our thread is, so very true..but we who post on here are lovely people anyway xxx
Sue who was going 'limping', if she had asked some of us to join her we could have 'limped' along and helped each other to do that extra mile! lol xxxx

So here we all are, I wonder what you have planned for today or what has been planned for you?. Hopefully no one has to attend clinics, hospitals, doctors or dentists, well not me for a change.
Ti's 'walkies' for me in my attempt to reach the goal of forty nine steps with the aid of Toby of course, so far can manage around twenty seven but getting there...

Right all, I need to get dressed now but what to wear...maybe my pink hot pants, or my blue mini skirt, even one of my kilts I used to wear when living in Scotland... yes Kathy.. 35 years in Loch Lomond, miss being there.

Have a good and fun day if possible xxx

JoycePxxxxx

Hi all, just got o.h. off to his course, he faffed about so much he was an hour late leaving but should have plenty of time if the traffic isn't snarled up anywhere. 120 miles and doesn't have to be there till 10.30 so should be ok. Nice new hired car courtesy of his company but manual and sat nav, two things out of the ordinary for him to get used to lol
Lordy, he is such an old woman, no offence to anyone but you will understand what I mean I hope, all that fuffing for three days away, wish it was a week, I need it to get over the stress lol
Am now off to bed, got chucked off the computer by wonderful aol much earlier this morning and couldn't get back on till now so just wanted to catch up before I sleep.
Love and hugs to all and will be back later after my counselling this afternoon.
Lizxxxxx

Morning everyone

I hope you all have a lovely day

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

Gill

Betty, my daughter has the Irish Blessing on a card, hanging in the downstairs loo.
Both sayings are lovely.
Am off to Amsterdam again later on, hope to be back tomorrow evening, IF the trams & trains run on time.
I meant to wish everyone a nice, peaceful day.

Eileen x

Hi EVERYONE,
I hope that everyone is o.k. Hope that Angela can get a nights sleep and that Eddie is comfortable and painfree.
Just going to add two Irish sayings if nobody minds, if anyone does i will delete them as soon as i can.
A Irish Blessing.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
The sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
MOTHERS.

Mothers hold their childrens hands for just a little while,
And their hearts forever.

-----------------------------------
HOPE that you all have a very peaceful and painfree night.
Bless,
Betty.

Hello again everyone xx

What an interesting assortment of postings today, with Betty starting us off at 02.40, leading up to Caz's at 18.45...which is thirty three postings so far today, brilliant.

We have Ann G and Snow White meeting up tomorrow and both feeling a little nervous I feel, just wish I could join up with you both... have a great meet and be sure to let us know the outcome please..a photograph would be good unless you are camera shy xx
Then Caz and her winnings on the lottery, wow xx
Elaine has got her daughter back home, thank goodness xx
Janet sending her love and prayers to all, they mean a lot to us lass xx
Ann giving us an insight into her reading matter, am certainly going to get that book about Tatiana & Alexandra, thanks Ann xx
Caz for keeping us updated on the Angela & Eddie news... so pleased to hear that he is more comfortable and that maybe he will be well enough to be moved to a hospice, such a much nicer environment for him to settle in to, bless them both xxxx
Mary for congratulating Carole for this thread of ours without which many a soul would still be lost and searching for help xxx
I have only mentioned named postings on this page 216, to go back would lose me my typed words, so will add the rest tomorrow.
Reckon it's time I called it a day and settled myself down for what's left of the evening.. sleep tight and see you all tomorrow xxxx
