grannyrose
lovely to see you dearest.
2:43 am
zoozzoom
Not seen you for a while Or Sprite. Was a bit worried something might be up. It is very nice to see you!
2:44 am
grannyrose
i sent you an email, zooz. hope it helped.
2:44 am
zoozzoom
I hev no email still, Rose as my laptop died quite a while a go.
2:45 am
zoozzoom
I am using my xbox to play this game.
2:45 am
grannyrose
ahhhhh, now i understand. are you on FB?
2:45 am
zoozzoom
Nope never used it lol
2:45 am
jwr again
thanks, rose - dizgrannie's dh 4/5 threw me (my balance is a bit off these days).
2:46 am
grannyrose
neither did i until recently.
2:47 am
jwr again
rose, wondering where the sprite/rose palaver had gone. Several people have asked.
2:47 am
grannyrose
sprite very busy. volunteers for two organisations, keeping up with her own docs etc. she is doing okay. very tired but happy
2:47 am
zoozzoom
As long as you are okay I am happy! Summer must be just around the corner for you now :-)
2:48 am
zoozzoom
Oh that is good to know thank you ((Rose)) You have put my mind at ease on that score!
2:48 am
jwr again
Thanks. Glad I caught you - just about to go back to work. What zooz said "as long as..." Bye
2:49 am
grannyrose
me, i am back in hospital. cardio guy says i need a grease and oil change. i have been drained of over 4kgs of fluid by the use of a drug to make me pee.
2:50 am
grannyrose
i have worn a straight line in the carpet from my bed to the loo...loll
2:51 am
zoozzoom
Gosh hope it all works out for you, Rose! I did not realise you needed such a drastic MOT! I thought you were going in for your normal drug infusion for your pain.
2:51 am
grannyrose
i am breathing more easily minus the fluid build up in the lungs too. angiogram showed no new blockages and the ones i have are actually improving. have been taking omega 3 capsules.
2:52 am
zoozzoom
I take those regular as I heard they were good for joints.
2:52 am
grannyrose
yeah well i had that 2 weeks ago and it went well. saw cardio doc the next we4 and here i sits...
2:53 am
zoozzoom
When my dad had his lungs drained it looked like orange juice!!
2:53 am
zoozzoom
Sorry you are going through all this, Rose. You are one strong cookie! You seem so upbeat about it. Good for you!
2:54 am
zoozzoom
Are you still getting your wine in the hospital?
2:54 am
grannyrose
poor man. zooz, the upper chambers of my heart aren't working properly, and allow a back log of fluid to build up in the lung tissues.
2:55 am
grannyrose
mwah...not in this hospital. i have have special permission from my doc and considering that at the moment i am on restricted fluids, i think sips of water are probably better for me.
2:55 am
zoozzoom
Ah that kind of makes sense to me as my dad has a heart problem too and has same trouble with his lungs. Not saying it is the same thing as I do not know but it does ring a bell.
2:56 am
grannyrose
in my email i sent i hoped that the warming weather was making the lives of your parents a little easier. you too.
2:57 am
zoozzoom
They call it here partial heart failure which sounds dramatic but is treatable with tablets etc.
2:58 am
grannyrose
same here....but i sort of left my run to the cardio doc a tad late. the fluid had built up too much for just tabs. i am having the pee drug intravenously.
2:59 am
zoozzoom
Well it is getting near to Winter here but the Summer was not too bad. Mother still has her hot water bottle lol diverticultis is still playing havoc with her. dad still has trouble with his catheter but that has become the new normal.
2:59 am
zoozzoom
That just takes the piss Rose :D
3:00 am

gosh, what a dill i am... of course it's closer to winter for you.

dinner has just arrived. grilled lamb cutlets, steamed vegs and a piece of fresh fruit, a lovely looking apple. so wonderful to chat with you. and to my fellow babblers, hugs.
3:01 am
zoozzoom
I am glad I made you smile whilst you are in hospital, Rose! It must get boring in there. It drove my dad mad whilst he was in there. Although he moans all the time anyway lol
3:02 am
zoozzoom
((Rose)) It was very nice to catch up with you. You get yourself better you hear! Now go enjoy your meal xx

Good Morning. My son is here and it's not going well
3:24 am
zoozzoom
((Ruby)) Is he being bossy again?
3:24 am
rubyfoo
Just unpleasant and I have too much pain to deal with it
3:25 am
zoozzoom
Thanks for those twoq They were my last two on that tile!
3:26 am
zoozzoom
What a great help he has turned out to be. I am so sorry you have now got to deal with anotherr problem that you should not have to deal with, Ruby.
3:27 am
zoozzoom
If it gets too bad I would be inclined tell him if he insists on being rude perhaps it better if he left as you are in too much pain to argue with him!
3:27 am
zoozzoom
I am sure you said he came with someone else?
3:29 am
rubyfoo
His wife, Denise.
3:29 am
rubyfoo
Fortunately, 've put them up in a nice hotel with a balcony overlooking the lake.I
3:29 am
zoozzoom
And how is she? Could you kind of take her to one side and ask him to behave himself?
3:30 am
zoozzoom
Not that you should have to really.
3:30 am
rubyfoo
He's not doing anything overt, just closed to me
3:30 am
zoozzoom
Oh thank goodness! I thought they were staying with you. Well that is a kind of blessing then. Such a shame he has to be like that though.
3:31 am
rubyfoo
She doesn't like me, but is very correct and helps as much as she can
3:31 am
rubyfoo
He's just like his father, who I divorce almost 40 years ago
3:32 am
zoozzoom
Maybe talk about happpy memories of when he was little might soften him a little.
3:33 am
zoozzoom
Well at least she is of some help then even if a she is a bit frosty.
3:35 am
zoozzoom
I do not understand why he has come over to see you if he is going to be closed like that. I think talking about happy times of past might be a good way forward maybe.
3:51 am
zoozzoom
Alas my time is up for now. Hope you have a pain free as possible day, ((Ruby))
