COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good morning all. Happy Valentine's Day to those that celebrate and have a great day to those that don't.

Happy birthday to Him'ish, Baldrick and the lovely snow leopard.

I'm doing well with sloth having had breakfast in bed and no plans beyond opening cards.

Just in time to wish you 'Happy Birthday' Linda.
Hope you have had a lovely day!

@meech008

Spending so much time as you can and giving her all the love you have is the best and only thing that you can do.
But I am sure, your granny will love these things, and she loves you.

Sabine

Thank you Sabine. I'm definitely going to spend as much time as I can with her

 

[meech008]

Oh, I'm so very sad to hear this.
BIGGGG HUGGGG

Thank you! I can use all the hugs I can get

 

[meech008]

I am really sorry to hear this Michelle. It's hard to know what to say beyond "I'm here for you" like the rest of the CDR.

Take care x

And I so appreciate it. It's going to be a rough time for a while but I can always count on the CDR

Since Jacques won the pet division of the Gluttony game, my cat Monty INSISTED that I submit HIS photos just for today, to compete in the Sloth game...

So I haven't said much about this because I don't like to bring down the house, but I do need to say something today.

My 87 year old grandmother, who is one of my very favorite people, has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. She had a pet scan yesterday and we will hear the results today. I'm very nervous because she is declining rapidly.
I really feel that the hospital and the doctors office let us down in this process. They never followed up on her CT scan results and now it's probably too late

So sorry to hear this meech, its an awful thought that maybe they could have done something. I am thinking of your grandmother you and the rest of the family.

 

[Lyn W]

And I'll say an early good night. I'm off to take some meds and sleep in the corner. Take care, roommates!

Night Lena, hope you are feeling better soon

Years ago I found a camera I thought I'd lost in my freezer and it still worked.
(...if I had a £1 for every time someone shouted 'freeze frame' when I told them about it.................

Shutter up!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And I so appreciate it. It's going to be a rough time for a while but I can always count on the CDR

Always.

It's late at night(for some of us).

'cept in the Dark.

I have this exact picture in my mind of what the CDR would look like if a light were to suddenly be turned on.

Thank you Lyn. It is a truly awful feeling but we're making the best we can of it

Well we got the word. Her cancer has spread to her bones and she's at a stage four. Her doctor ordered hospice care for her

Aw meech - the speed of this must be such a shock for you all. You know where we are if you need to talk.

Good evening, Lyn, would you be my Valentine?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh sweetie, I'm truly sorry. I hope you get to spend time with her.

I thought I was going to have a nice day today.
Hospital appointment so day off school.
I left the hospital at 12.30 bought a birthday card for my BiL
Went to post office to send it on its way....
Set off for from there - and my car broke down in the busiest and narrowest part of town so caused quite a jam!
It would start and let me go a short distance then cut out again.
No breakdown cover as I forgot to renew it
Managed to get it to a place where I wasn't causing a hold up, and my sister brought me home.
My local garage is going to to collect it tomorrow - goodness knows how much all that is going to cost !
Going to pick up a hire car tomorrow too, anyone want to buy a 10 year old fiesta?

 

[meech008]

Aw meech - the speed of this must be such a shock for you all. You know where we are if you need to talk.

I do and thank you

 

[meech008]

Thank you she's going to be sick of me I'm going to be over so much haha

 

[Lyn W]

For 5 minutes ?

Oh Ok then
