Am I breaking the order of this threads title by having mentioned my parents so often?

Croissant stuffed with scram eggs.........yum <3

Popping up to see sis later, taking bottled water and anything else I can think of that wont affect her allergies!

Thank you Cynthia - that bacon is lovely !!! <3

Gins glad your QA visit went ok.

Hope your sister gets the pain relief she needs and that she gets home soon. good that she is managing to eat something other than soup.

Don't forget to take care of yourself <3

((((HUGS)))) for you both

OOOOhhh Ginns !!

Give her a big hug from me (when she is up to it !!)

Dea xxx

Dea, we 'tease' each other!

She has eaten more today than in the last month

She had fish and chips (Very small) in a wire basket. It was like a 5* meal. All she has eaten for the past few weeks is soup....due to one of the secondary' on her tongue

Just 'tek it'Ginns - I know how she feels - I am always 'starving' when in hospital !!

The nurses always end up giving me two dinners and saving all the extra sandwiches for me to nibble through the night.

They are not good though so when hubby comes in he brings me very nice 'sub rolls' with all the fillings and plenty of choccies for when I start to feel better (though I don't think she will want them just at the moment).

Hope all goes well,

Dea Xxx

Just exchanged a few texts.......she's bored, so I phoned her and made her more bored!

What shall I bring you sis..............WATER. She has ME and cant drink tap water

.......oh and she wants an olive oil spread

Buddy sisters ;-)

I guess you're emotionally exhausted Gins.... <3


Hospices are, indeed, wonderful places. We have an excellent one here and patients come and go for short periods all the time I think. It sounds as though she has happily settled to her new routine......bless her.



Thought I was just popping into one supermarket with daughter today and ended up going to two. It was two too many.........and I am all supermarketed out!!


After I have taken my daughter home, I'm going to concentrate on sorting out my new FTM 2011 which arrived today. If anyone has any hints or tips, I will be happy to hear them..... :-D

That's what I said Ginns - it is the ones around you which you worry about because they suffer the most - 'you' (i.e. the 'poorly' one) get looked after in these circumstances.

It makes it much easier if you do not have to worry about your 'loved ones' !!!

Dea Xxx <3 <3 <3

Thanks Dea.

She should be home in about a week after they have monitored her pain meds and found out which ones are the best for her.

I'm fine, but thats because of my sisters approach to the whole thing...a little star she is <3

Tell you what though...I is knackered!

These Hospices are in deed most wonderful places Ginns !!

I am pleased she is 'in touch' with somewhere like that - not everyone is so lucky!

Hope she is not there for long and can come home soon but at least she will know where she is going back to if she needs to.

Hope you are O.K. too,

Dea Xxx

Been at the hospice all afternoon, she is being looked after very well and is in good spirits.

There are more stafff and volunteers than patients. I looked on as people were having all sorts of alternative therapies, calming music, foot massages and aromotherpy smells, the place felt so calm

We can eat a meal with sis at her bedside or take her out to church as and when

I watched a member of staff clean a bed after one lady had left....boy oh boy, she put our Cyns cleaning to shame!

The doc came and took all her details and actually asked the difficult questions, about the end and what she wants



Each small ward of four has a conservatory, with fresh flowers and comfy sofas and a big flat screen tv

QA visit went well, no action points at all :-D

Had a phone call to say sis has been admitted to St Lukes for pain relief and monitoring :-(

Thanks Joy :-D
