Sorry Linda I ended up answering emails, I will make you a special one later <3

I need to go out now, so sleep well when the time comes.

Mersey, i have given up on the coffee, I will have a new cup tonight

That's why I appreciated the email so much.

I know it is hard for him to use the computer, that is why I phone, I do hope they do something and admit him after the clinic.

No not really. Just waiting to go out for his appointment. It was a very short email but he did say that knowing we are thinking of him is a great morale booster. He is also very grateful to you Linda for keeping us up to date :-)

That is nice Sue <3

Any new news?

I'm overwhelmed. I have received an email from Tec <3

A coffee would be nice, but it isn't even elevnses here. I will pass on the toasted teacake if you don't mind

Ooh - a toasted teacake. Yes please :-D

Aimee talks quietly so we don't always hear her - just the boys yelling at her. Typical behaviour - her mother was the same :-D

Awwww bless em ;-) they are just testing you Sue :-D ;-)

Time for a cuppa and a toasted teacake me thinks Yum :-D

I know I am notsupposed to laugh at Aimee's antics, bmt I couldn't help myself.

It is very trying though, my daughter was adept at winding my son up. In the end, he would hit her,then be in trouble for that. She deserved it though as he was so sweet to her when she was little, until she learnt to taunt him.

Yes I am Linda :-D. Aimee was quite naughty today. She was teasing and annoying her brothers and had Joel in tears a few times. She had to have time out a couple of times :-(

God morning Sue :-) <3

Hello Mersey and Sue.

Are you worn out after your day of grandparenting Sue?

Hello everyone <3 :-D

Our medical system leaves a lot to be desired but I don't know anyone who has been neglected to the point that Tec has. My complaint is the few doctors who feel that when someone reaches a certain age they aren't worthy of care - they write a prescription and hope for the best.

Good morning/evening Loverlies :-D :-D <3

A great big Liverpool ~~~~~~~ for Tec & Duchess <3 <3

Diane :-) im good thanks hope all your family is ok <3

Sue as always <3

I hope you have enough cutlery and crockery for all those dinners Diane and pans large enough for all that veg.

It is good to see you posting Persie. It isn't just Wales where the heatlth care can be bad. I am sure there are some wonderful people working in the NHS, it is just the system which is in chaos.

I look back at my own experiences with my paretnts over the last few years. The nursing care my father recieved after an operation was so woeful that it nearly killed him and he spent months in hospital recovering from it. We looked after him at home, but it was very hard work, especially for my mother. By then his cancer had advanced and I( must say that the oncology unit was excellent.

Then my mother whose GP ignored her complaint about a bad pain in her side time after time.Only after she was admitted to hospital on the last occasion with a widespread infection did it turn out that she had a blocked bile duct which was causing the pain. By the time they removed the gall stone, the infection had spread, but if she had had prompt and better treatment she would have survived. Insteadshe was treated by a succesion of juniour doctors who were moved around the wards every two weeks, so there was never any continuity of care.

I could go on, but despite all the enquiries we have in this country where "lessons need to be learnt", nothing ever changes.

Just to let you know that I am reading this thread every couple of days and keeping up with Tec's lack of progress..

I can't see that happening here, you go to A & E and they don't let you out of the building until everything is sorted.

The thought of gangrene had occurred to me and I was really hoping that would not happen.

I do have to ask this though does where he lives in Wales not keep up with the rest of Britain regarding medical treatment?

Persie

Hello everyone,

Linda thank you for all the updates on our Tec and the Duchess <3
It is an absolute disgrace that the NHS has let things get so bad for Tec as I'm sure if thing's had been done right when the first infection set in then he would not be were he is now :-|
I hope they are able to make Tec more comfortable and sort something out for him when he visits Telford Clinic later today, sending healing thoughts for him and calming thoughts for the Duchess as this will be a stressful time for her <3 <3

Sylvia I hope you SIL is comfortable and it is good that she is able to be at home as she wishes <3

Amanda I'm glad to hear you have nothing to worry about after your scare :-0
Hope all is well with you and the family <3
Did you read on the Bedroom Tax group about the 12yr old who was pulled out of class by the Anti terrorist monitoring squad ? :-(

~~~~to Mersey, hope all is well with you and your's <3

Sue chip butties sounds good, I love them or on a buttered barm when I have a chippy tea out :-)

Linda can I swap places with you as I could do with a break, I will deifinately need one after next Tuesday, my grand-daughter who is living with me asked if I would do a roast dinner for her birthday, I said yes thinking it would be just her, her boyfriend, my daughter and her 2 sister's " how wrong was I " I will be feeding 3 children, 2 teenagers and 8 adult's ( 13 in total ) :-0 :-( :-S
It will be like christmas day all over again but twice as many to feed, goodness knows were they will all fit in my flat.

Berona hope you are well and that the weather isn't to hot were you are <3

~~~~~ to Jem, Carole, Allan and anyone else who pops in :-) <3
