havent posted on here for ages,been a bit busy, hospital and doctor appointments etc. my youngest daughter has epilepsy shes 22 diagnosed when she was 19 and now they want to try brain surgery to try and stop her fits its very scary. i am waiting for a mri scan to see if the doctors right and that i have arthritus in my spine just to add to my list of ailments.have done a little crafting, made a few xmas cards and some jewellery but time just seems to be swallowed by things ive got to do or sort out other peoples problems for them, sometimes it would be nice to pretend ive gone out and switch my phone off, but as i would never do that its just a pipe dream.going for a meal on sunday with hubbys family and mum as its her 82nd birthday should be nice. hope all is well with everyone.

Hi Jan
Hope all goes well for your daughter - it's marvellous what they can do now with surgery, just hope that is what is needed to make your daughter well again, and if so, hope all will be well with her. Also that you can be helped with your problems. As my friend said 'Growing old is NOT for sissies'!!
Take care, enjoy your crafting and have a lovely meal with the birthday girl

I agree with Trish, the things they can do nowadays in medicine is amazing, my grandson was born 3 months premature and had NEC which means that his bowel started to die and he had to have a life saving operation when he was only a couple of weeks old and weighing only 2 lbs 4ozs, they removed a quarter of his bowl and fitted an ileostomy bag similar to a colostomy he was cut from one side of his abdomen to the other and was on morphine for about a month, he survived with the help of some wonderful doctors and nurses and is now 7 and has no lasting problems, so wonderful things can be done. I can sympathise about the arthritis I also have it in my spine and neck and know how debilitating it can be.
On a lighter note enjoy your meal on Sunday if you need a friendly ear PM me anytime xxx
