Worried about John

[Grannie G]

Hello Hazel.

Belated Happy Birthday Greetings to John. It`s good to hear he still managed a party and i`m glad it went well.
The photo is lovely.
Love xx

Thank you all for your good wishes.

I must admit, the day was tinged with sadness, but I kept reminding myself of a quote from Prof. Andrews, of Stirling Uni:

Don't grieve for what you have lost, rejoice for what you have had.

I have so much cause for rejoicing!

Belated greetings...

Hello Hazel,

Please give my belated birthdat greetings to John...

What a super photo of you both.....

Still can't get over the resemblance between John and Eric.
Glad things are on an even keel for you just now.

Another huge dip on the switchback, I'm afraid!

Three days after his lovely birthday photograph, John has two new infections. One in his chest, and MRSA in his heel again.

I'm devastated.

Hello Hazel,

That's tough news..not surprised you're devastated.

Can they..will they..give antibiotics?

Hang on in there...Hazel...

Love gigi xx

Thanks, gigi. Yes, they've prescribed two antibiotics, one for his chest and another for his heel.

Don't think they'd dare do anything else now!

It's upsetting though, because his heel has been getting better for a while.

I think the bugs are in his system, and I don't think he's ever going to get rid of them completely, it's just a question of zpping them every time they surface.

I don't know how long John can keep fighting, though.

Love,

Dear Hazel..

don't know how long John can keep fighting, though.

How long is a piece of string? John is a fighter....

Think about yourself and try not to worry..(easy for me to say..I know..but meant sincerely..)

Love gigi xx

Dear Hazel
Sorry to hear about John, this illness never lets us rest on our laurals does it?
I am going through a quiet time at the moment with my husband but at the same time waiting for the knockback I know will come.
Thinking about you
Love Roseann

 

[Grannie G]

I`m so sorry Hazel.

You are given no time at all to relax and feel John is on a plateau before there`s a repetition of the same. And each time his infections seem to last longer.

I do hope the antibiotics work.

Love xx

 

[Skye]

Thanks, Roseann and Sylvia.

Trouble is, I've been fighting infections and hypothyroidism for the last few months and was just beginning to feel a bit better -- actually managed to do some weeding yesterday!

Now I feel flattened again.

OK, I'm feeling sorry for myself tonight. I'll be better again tomorrow!

Love,

 

[ROSEANN]

Hazel
Feel free to feel sorry for yourself you have every reason to be.
Wishing you a better day tomorrow.
Love Roseann

Daer Hazel:

I am so sorry to hear your latest news. I do hope John fights these infections as he has in the past.

These words seem so empty - I wish I could offer more, both in words and deeds. You are in my thoughts.

Love Jan

dear Hazel,

So very sorry to hear your news about John after this period of calm.

Best wishes and love to you both,

Dear Hazel

If you didn`t feel sorry for yourself you would probably be made of stone.

Dear Hazel,
I am so very sorry to read about John's infections. Do hope they can get things sorted out very quickly and that he is comfortable.
I think it is your love and devotion getting him through each set back he has.
Love to you both

Dear Hazel,

Just catching up, having been away. Sorry to hear that John has 2 new infections. I know you will both keep battling and everyone on TP is in your corner.

A belated happy birthday to John, lovely photo

 

[Skye]

Thank you all for your support, you don't know how much it means to me.

I'm feeling pretty low both mentally and physically just now, and it's so good to have your encouragement.

Love,

 

[DeborahBlythe]

Dear Hazel I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling below par. I can't think what to say to cheer you up, but hope that things improve for you very soon. The photo of you and John was lovely.
Love and hugs, Deborah x

I'm feeling pretty low both mentally and physically just now,
Love,

It`s not a good place to be Hazel and it`s difficult to see a way out of it. I can only suggest you allow yourself this feeling and perhaps it will ease naturally.

Small comfort I know.

Love xx
