Like I believe you didn't spend it all on chocolate Carol...I know you better than that haha😆😆.

Chris hope you get your hands on a project or two, might keep you out of trouble 😁😁😁

Love n hugs to everyone 💕💞🕊🌈💋💋
 
What do you think people in 1982 would have said if you told them you'd dropped your phone down the toilet ?

TRYSHA how are you ?
 
I had to go buy masks today, despite wanting to do so. There have been two positive Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hrs in my town and there is a huge contact tracing effort going on. The genie is officially out of the bottle... I'm very concerned about my parents well being. We have one ventilator at our hospital and 30,000 tourists acting badly. When will people realize that we're all at risk??? I'm pretty sure it's the youth and the invincibility factor causing it. I pray we can stomp this out ASAP.

My very best to all.
 
Its still such a worrying time and the risk is still high. It is time some people realised this and stopped putting others and their selves at risk. It won't go away otherwise. I maybe back at work soon,that scares me as i work at a garden centre. I will be masked gloved and using sanitizer every hour. I do not want to catch this virus. Keep safe and take care everyone. 💕🕊🌈
 
thanks Chris,one down (or up) and 27 to go hahaha .I was hoping for suppositories ,if hoping's the right word,but I've got to try the enemas and if they don't do the job,it's steroids...It's a good job I've / we've got a sense of humour.

TRYSHA, HOW'S YOU ?
 
Oh Carol what a nightmare...sense of humor!!! By God girl its above and beyond that is..
Keep on keeping on though, I know you will storm through it girl 💞💕

Ye I hope Trysha is ok .
 
are you back to the grind soon Mandy or has the new situation with the virus put the brakes on ?

Bloody enemas a pain in the bum but I will soldier on. If it works that's a good thing. But my evenings watching TV have been spoiled
with the bedtime ritual hanging over my head like the "Sword of Damacles"
 
Aw Mandy,sorry to hear it me darlin'. Hope you're just sitting still and picking the fluff out your navel.Do what your body tells you.

I'm concerned about Trysha again as I know all of you are .Fingers x'd.
 
Thanks Carol..yup I'm just resting,I have now run out of navel fluff, so I'm picking the spuds out of my ears ;).😂
Yes I'm worried about our girl Trysha. I hope she is ok . My fingers are crossed 🤞.
How are you and the nightly ritual going on hen?xx
 
Honestly,I really don't want to talk about t he enemas...I'm doing another two,then that's it No way am I doing the full course .I'd rather have steroids. I've had my hair cropped and feel like a different person .I look and feel 20yrs younger and that's got to be good.Hope you're feeling a wee bit better and getting your mind in gear ready for the grind.
 
Ah,Chris...I know you've had problems with the parents before, but I thought it had settled down.Don't know what to advise only hope it will sort itself out again.Keep your head down for a couple of days.We're here for you.
A new "plan" by our illustrious gov. is that if they have to lock down regions,the obese and the over 50s will now have to isolate also.
How the heck are they going to enforce that ?
 
This is getting more mental by the moment....my son who has been shielding(no spleen)all along now has to go back to work, while I (furloughed)might have to stay off work longer,as I'm over 50..go figure!!
 
Carol..I'm always up around 6AM..I have cat who wants to go out 😁
Though to be fair I was always up for work at that time,and its pretty much body clock is still in work mode. At least I won't have that "oh no iv got to start getting up early " thing going on when I am back at work..
Yes Chris n Trysha ..you are AWOL.. please report in. We are concerned 💕
 
😂

Well ye we have lost one hell of a lot friends who used to post regular...I'm hoping they are all okay, and maybe busy enjoying life..but an update would be lovely 💕🙂
I do hope David is ok, and that he doesn't delete us😱
 
Hey all..hope everyone is ok,
I'm ok, fed up with this virus and it's complications in the world. I can't afford to be off work much longer (bills piling up)but also I can't afford to risk my and my families health 😔
Take care and keep well n safe 💕🕊🌈
 
Still not in top form re: the enemas.Couldn't manage more than 2wks and it was a struggle....never again.
IBD nurse is phoning me on Fri.morn so it looks like steroids will be the next "go too"....

No signs of Trysha again bless her.....Sending you my support Mandy,you're between a rock and a hard place eh?....there's a lot to be said for being pensionable age,sometimes,
 
Hey Shanen...🙂 lovely to see you and know you are okay 👍 how did that happen?
We have missed you...along with a good few others, which we hope are okay too.
Take care and hope to see you soon 💕🕊🌈
 
Well I didn't manage to get to the hospital pharmacy yesterday.Les was waiting for a phone consultation from his doc.and by then I wasn't feeling good.Checked on-line twice to see if it was open on Saturday and it was......so long story short....it wasn't.

So will try on Monday,when the queue will be a mile long no doubt.....

NICE TO SEE YOU BACK SHANEN.....,is it really that long ? Doesn't time fly when you don't know what you're doing ?
I wonder what became of Grumpy ? apart from the one that's snoozing in his armchair at the moment that is.
 
Aw no sorry you missed out on the meds Carol. X
Maybe a few more have been locked out, & that's why its been so quiet here. Or just other stuff to deal with regarding this piggin virus 🤬
 
six weeks to go but I'm not going to look for trouble.Have stopped taking my supplements and pain meds and just take the pred. only .
Not sure if I'm doing the right thing but they gave me high dose vit.d3 which I already take and is in my fish oil and multi-vits,albeit at a low dose.
Haven't been given these before when on pred.,,,,hope all of you and your families happy and healthy. x
 
I've been awake all night with Restless Leg Syndrome.Did a LOT of reading.Got to sleep at 5-30am and woke at 6-30 am with my ggod old gut.
Really tired so just slobbing out today.
A piece in todays paper cheered me up (NOT)
Santa school has launched 2wks early in London due to people already surfing for xmas goodies on-line.

It's to be Elf and safety with furry face masks,sparkley eyes and 2metre spacing.And lots of hand santa=tiser of course.....yipeeeee !!
 
Hi all..sorry Carol ,no lucky I was at home Phew!!!. Glad you are feeling better hen. Thank you yes I feel ok again..had a mad busy few days,not had chance to even shake my tail feathers lol.😁
Keep as well as you can n even better if you can too.
 
Thanks Mandy and Carol for the concern...and Chris who found me wandering...
It has been along and at times harrowing journey.
At last I can see properly...the highdose prednisone caused so many different symptoms...made me worse instead of better..
Now the dose has been greatly lowered by degrees and it does not seem to affect me so badly.
Would you believe I could not think how to check into Crohns Forum?, after all these years...really affectedmy memory.
I can see some of you have also had bad times and hope you will all soon be better.
Have a good weekend Everyone
Trysha
 
Lovely to see you my friend,I hope you feel better in leaps and bounds.Let's be honest though,that wouldn't be hard would it ?

I'm on a course of steroids (6wks) just now and although I've been on them before, this time I'm having adverse side effects .Interupted sleep and extreme hunger being the worst.I could quite easily eat the cushions off the sofa with a big dollop of chocolate sauce.
 
Hey Trysha..it is so good to see hun. I'm so sorry you have been having such a rough time my lovely. I hope things improve quickly for you 🙏💞
Carol aw not much sleep is hard to deal with..I hope you can get off them soon love x
 
Working again must be hard Mandy....but after a few days you will get back in the groove...
Had a good check up with the vascular specialist yesterday....she always sees me in the clinic...
My GP and GI specialist use the phone.......I dont think that replaces office visits......quite the contrary.
However with the unknowns attached to Covid..they do their best.
Since I continue to do better I wont be needing them so often hopefully.
They were all really good and there when I needed them the most....especially when hospitalized.
Now things are really beginning to look up.
Carol....all the best with the prednisone....its a great healer but can be nasty with side effects.
There is a brand new drug just finished going through its final research which will replace prednisone as we know it.
The new pred has no side effects...looking forward to the change.
Mandy..sorry that you are not without problems but hope they soon resolve.
Its good to keep a sense of humour going.
Winning!
 
Thanks Trysha...I'm ok in general, just odd days that are days i could do without, in comparison to some,yourself inc...I'm pretty peachy really.
I'm so glad you are improving though hun. I hope so much that you continue to do so 🤞💞
Oh that new drug sounds like it maybe a God send..let's hope so🤞
Hugs 💞
 
It's really good to see you getting back on track Trysha.you must be a real tough old bird..
Another 2,600+ covid cases reported yesterday as well as the 3,000 at the weekend !!!! Boris is threatening to cancel Xmas !!!
Off for a cycle then for an anniversary lunch.Nothing special ,but a day off cooking will be nice. Been wed 54 years and I wish I has a pound for every meal I've cooked and every dish I've washed.
