Susie is getting better, and hopes to be discharged tomorrow evening, but will not be completely better. She no doubt still has a way to go. Heard on another forum that my visit cheered her up. (She speaks to a member). Glad to hear that.

Good morning/afternoon all. Thought Iād better check in to see if everyone on here is ok?
Hope Susie is home and feeling a lot better.
Also hope Jazzie is ok. I agree with Sabrina being the lady we met up with a few years ago.
Iāve not been 100% myself recently. I have been diagnosed with Gallstones! Hospitals, operations and anything medical I have a fear of 
so I said Iād see how I can manage with a low fat diet. Thatās easy at the moment as I am not fancying food much.
Has anyone had any experience with such things and how they managed them?
Hi CC.
Iām still here. Susie has been back in hospital a few days now but nobody seems to know whatās going on there, and she hasnāt answered my texts.
Sorry to hear you have been poorly, I so remember having gallstones and opted for surgery because I remember the pain!
I am just trying to combat this heatwave, and waiting for it to cool down.
Booked a four night caravan stay from Monday. Only local still, but a different site. I have invited the ladies from the Tuesday cafe meet to come to the caravan for our usual get together. Should make a nice change!
Hi Jazzi ā¦ I wondered where youād got to.
yes i had wondered too,I miss reading the chatter on here .

It just seemed to quieten down on here. I even miss Emjay. Wonder how he is?
Oh dear, hope she answers soon. Itās a worry.
The gallstones arenāt giving me too much pain, just discomfort but I have days where Iām not aware of them much, like today.
Have a nice break in your caravan. Nice to have a change of scene too. 
Morning all.
Got a clothes wash hanging in the garden to dry and have started another with bath/hand towels. Will stop the cycle soon before I leave for the monthly church hall quiz, as it starts at 10. I get there for parking, a table and my mug of tea (and biccie).
Going to be a very busy weekend for me, trying to do shopping, pack mine and Hollyās cases (without her getting too excited), fitting in a lunch on Sunday to meet some old acquaintances). Could do without it but as I was invited thought it would be churlish to decline. So I am not going to Monday community cafe so I can do what I have to and leave about 3.40 for the site.
I really do need to get away from my neighbours.
So much to think of, when going self catering, and with a dog.
Morning all.
Was up and out at 5.30 with the dog. Met our friend, she is always out with hers at that time.
After breakfast I will think about getting out for some shopping. A quick stop in town for Boots and their wax earplugs. Having to use them most nights now, because NfH wonāt stop with the fag breaks, slamming the door, talking, laughing, right up until about 12.30am. It is continuous. So I canāt wait for next week.
Morning everyone, I started a new thread, an announcement, but am waiting for it to be approved.
I am sorry to say that Susie passed away this morning, around 10. I was there, from 7.50 for about hour and half, talking to Rob her husband, and offering what help I can. He will need some, as he doesnāt understand computers, canāt write letters, and will at some point need to tell Susieās sister, if only by email.
She had been in for a few weeks with too much fluid in her chest cavity. A doctor drained off a large syringe full from her back yesterday, which he was getting analysed. And told Rob she still had about 2L in there.
He got the call about 6.15 to say she had taken a turn for the worse, called me straight away, and I decided, after seeing to myself and Holly, to get up there.
When I was there, someone came and explained that her breathing was unsustainable, and one by one her organs would fail when getting starved of oxygen. Rob had already told me at 6.30am that she didnāt have long.
He is going to be so lost, without her.
RIP, dear Susie. 
Oh Jazzi ā¦ that is sad news.
Yes it is. We used to meet in Lowestoft town for a walk round, or a hot drink. Iāve been to their house on occasions, they once visited me and Holly when I had a caravan break. Sheās not been well enough for awhile now, to do any of that.
I will miss her.
So sorry to read this Jazzi , Susie had been a member a long time , and I always enjoyed reading her post , especially about her Cat and the old house she had before moving to where she is now .
I hope you are ok ,you have been a freind of Susie for a while and it can come a bit of a shock .
Sending my Condolences to her Husband who she mentioned in post .
Take care Jazzi
Thanks Morty and Eliza.
Oh my gosh. Thatās such a shock. Iām so sad to hear this. Many condolences to Susieās family
Thank you.
