sunnyday Posted August 22 Author Posted August 22 Good morning - 'tis Friday What a horrible week we have had ... dear friend died Monday night, not expected at all and yesterday my DIL's mum suffered a TIA. I have had to educate myself pretty fast about TIAs - I had no real understanding of the implications for her... Hope that everyone else is having a better time and can enjoy the long weekend x 4 Quote
Froglet Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Oh Sunnyday, I’m so sorry to hear about your tough week. Sending good wishes for you and your family. Apart from lots of long walks with my doggy house guest I have done very little. I am feeling very lazy and need to do something about that next week! 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted August 22 Author Posted August 22 On a much brighter note - Mr S and I have been to watch our youngest granddaughters drama school's production of 'Annie' this afternoon and very good it was too - very proud nana and granddad! 1 1 Quote
louby loo Posted Sunday at 09:58 Posted Sunday at 09:58 Late to the Friday chat - but just had a lovely week in Norfolk. Sorry to hear about your week sunnyday. TIA's are a worry, but often a a early warning sign. My brother had one about 6/7 years ago, and is absolutely fine now, and they thought Andy had one about 10 years ago - but it turned out to be a return to migraines (he used to get really bad ones in his20/30s). The good news is they are now both in 'the system' and get regaular health check-ups. Andy has his next regular MRI scan next Sunday. Good that your week ended well with a little show 🎶🎶💃🎶🎶 Froglet- I love that you are enjoying the dog walks 🐕 😊 I just have one more week left before I return to work- I have no list, and I have done nothing much workwise this summer!!! (I may need to put a little effort in this week... well at least do the new registers 🙄😂) 2 Quote
zigzag Posted Sunday at 10:02 Posted Sunday at 10:02 Sorry to hear about your week Sunnyday. Louby loo, how do you feel about going back? Am I right in thinking it’s your last year? 1 Quote

Am I right in thinking it’s your last year? If I'm totally honest if the scouts/landlords rang me this afternoon saying 'sorry, you can't have the hall anymore' I wouldn't loose any sleep tonight! 😂 I am neither looking foward or dreading going back. I used to enjoy spending time during the summer hols planning (not planning planning!) our return - updating policies, thinking about resources, going in to tidy cupboard and all that gumph etc. Then towards the end of the hols I would actually be looking fowards to returning, having more structure to my day and meeting people. This year zilch interest whatsoever! - I guess it a case of "when you know you know" .... and I definitely know it's time. I don't even feel any guilt about not doing anything 😂 1 2 Quote

Good that your week ended well with a little show 🎶🎶💃🎶🎶 Thanks so much louby - that is all so encouraging. I don't usually 'knock' the NHS - Mr S has received some outstanding treatment...however, this all happened on Thursday, my DIL went straight down, 111 said ambulance unless you have someone to take you - that was easy my DIL drove her to hospital where 'eventually' she was given a CT scan and that was how they diagnosed TIA as opposed to Stroke - not too bad so far...but then they released her at 8:15pm with no info apart from call in at Tesco and buy some aspirin - that's dreadful. Thankfully the 'specialist team' rang on Friday morning and gave her further instructions e.g. do not drive for at least 28 days... Oh well, onwards and upwards, she now has a MRI scan and assessment tomorrow morning so hopefully this will be informative and should lead to appropriate meds being prescribed. 3 Quote
Cait Posted yesterday at 16:56 Posted yesterday at 16:56 Hi all! I well remember that feeling of ennui before the September return. Start planning your extrication if you can! I remember thinking that stacking shelves at Tesco sounded more appealing than going into work! the fires on the moors are still burning. These views are looking across scarborough Quote
