What,you mean fishing,biking,flying, motor-homing and D.I.Y are not enough for you Trev.??? Whatever you're on send me some.:wink::wink::wink:



Winning in anticipation.:dance::dance::dance:
 
I obviously have to much free time if I am on here, mostly I am lurking as too fatigued to know what to write, but enjoy reading your guys banter. my names Trev and I am a crohnsforumaholic.
 
When you say lurking Trev do mean checking up on us, to make sure we are not causing trouble !!😆😆lol.
My name is Mandy n im a crohnsforumaholic too n proud of it. 😃😃
 
I think that's terrible Sandy,taking the poor lambs win when he hasn't been on the forum for ages,and no wonder.

But to be honest,I'm glad it was you who snatched his win and not me.

I'm far to nice......but I'll take yours. WINNING
 
No Sandy,I disagree.I've no need to be humble.
But I would rather ask forgiveness than permission.

Forgive me for winning ?
 
I'm back! I have no other life other than necessary living, so I'm back! I just had a handful of my requisite glucophage (part of my diabetic meds), and followed it by two handfuls of jelly beans :ybatty: (feeling somewhat rebellious), so I win.:ycool:
 
Today in the local supermarket I was robbed...unbelievable
This man had asked me to help with reading a package label...first language not English...
While I explained to him my zipped up handbag was opened and my purse stolen
It had all my cards in it.
I almost collapsed at the checkout a few minutes later and management stood beside the doors and called police
I saw the man as he was going through the checkout...empty handed...and told the manager...the man swiftly disappeared back into the store.
A bit later he went to another man at checkout and spoke with him.
They left the store into the arms of the police..
Strangely a woman then joined them
They were searched...no purse....
Finally police had to release them no evidence to detain the but highly suspicious behaviour noted on the store cameras
The aisle I was in did NOT have a camera!
I'm still sitting outside the store with police who had called an ambulance since I had almost passed out on them.....it never arrived ...I recovered myself when a friend arrived.
Suddenly a store clerk came out with a purse which was mine....found in the freezer where I had been
All the money had been taken but cards were all in there...most importantly.
While I had been sitting with police three different store customers came and offered me money,one was $100.....
I graciously thanked them and refused their kind offers...it was not the money so much as the important cards in there.
I am feeling in need of sedation right now but will get over it
This is the second time in a month.......what am I to do to avoid it all
I think I became too trusting and vulnerable while being hospitalized for so long
It's back to hospital rehab tomorrow where their programme is ending for me,but they have
Made application for me to continue in another health funded physiotherapy/occupational therapy day program which lasts a month.Will hear soon
Long story but others need to be aware of these robbers intrusions in our lives.
Definitely not winning right now.......
 
I'm guttered for you Trysha, what a lot of emotional turmoil to go through, yet again. I'm glad your cards and purse were found but I'm sorry for all the stress and angst you've gone through. Bug hugs
 
Hi Kirsty
Thank you for your comments and sympathy
It was a long post but living on my own there's no one to talk to here
LOW is my very helpful family
I just don't know what has happened to my brain that I was taken in again...just too trusting and helpful...he seemed genuine
Won't be answering any person I don't know in the future....I will just not speak English...
Hope you are feeling better
Trysha
 
OMG Trysha. What the hell!!😠 Im so so sorry hun. Cant believe some people. Im gob smacked. Love n hugs 💕💕💋💋💋
 
Oh my Trysha! I'm glad that you saw that not all people are rotten and thieves (the ones who offered you money) but I'm so sorry for the turmoil the others have put you thru of late. Many hugs. Sending you healing and comforting thoughts. You are one dear, dear lady, and will always be loved here.
 
Trysha,....I am so, so sorry this has happened AGAIN.I am absolutely speechless,apart from the expletives going around in my head. It seems that in future you're going to have to be suspicious of everyone,and that's not the way any of us want to live.Don't know what else to say to you,except I'm glad you feel able to share your ups and downs,with us,you crohnie family.xx Have you ever thought about writing a book ? It would have to be fiction of course,because no one would believe what you've been through.
 
I'm so sorry for what you experienced Trysha. It is so difficult to determine who you can really trust these days.
 
Thank you Kirsty,Carol,Mandy,Sandy and Shanen......all my cronie family members...
don't know what I'd do without you all
It is so helpful to unload it all on these pages and receive your helpful comments
They have extended my OT sessions at the hospital daycare programme to include some relaxation sessions because of all the stress.hope it works
I am recovering again quite well in true British chin up fashion...but it is quite hard for a second time round.
Everyone here is urging me to write a book, I am thinking of doing it some of the things
In the past are a lot worse than what is currently happening.
You will have the first chapter Carol I promise ....don't know when yet but probably this year.
It will make a change from writing scientific papers....haven't done any lately since I retired.
Too busy keeping the hospitals in gainful employment....
Winning....
 
Make sure you send us all signed copies of your book when it's finished too, Trysh, before you become too famous and involved in book tours, etc. Chin up is good for present now, tho.
This world is crazy at present. Tho it didn't involve me personally, the day before yesterday I witnessed the effects of a complicated double carjacking starting in our supposedly very safe town of Kaysville that ended up in a totally innocent life being lost (a young girl mid twenties just recently returned from a church mission for 18 months) at a freeway offramp as the result of the carjacker crashing into another vehicle. I happened to be traveling down the freeway within just seconds to a minute or two at the most of the crash, saw dozens of emergency vehicles zooming past me on both sides, saw two "crime scene" areas being cordoned off on the freeway (long story) saw the police roll up right beside me to close the offramp where the crash had just happened, (other police cars were already stopped that were pursuing the crashed hijacker at the top of the overpass/offramp) and saw a lifeflight helicopter make a b-line for the site as I pulled in the parking lot where I was going to pick up my just serviced vehicle.
This didn't involve me directly but had me shaken up a little too. I can't imagine what you, Trysha, went through. I just know you will end up being one very strong person emotionally in the end. Maybe a little more wary, but stronger and more empathetic between this, your health problems, and whatever else you have dealt with. And you still have an obviously tender spirit. That's what I like about you.
How is everyone else? :ghug:
 
Cor blimey Sandy ... this world is going to hell in a handcart !! Why oh why cant people just be nice n respect each other??? Surely it not to much to ask of anyone is it ?.
Love n hugs to you all 💕💕💋💋
 
Mandy you make me laugh when you say cor blimey...
Do you remember Lonnie Donegan singing " my old mans a dustman,he wears a dust mans hat,he wears cor blimey trousers--and he lives in a council flat! etc
It was such a cheery and funny song...we need things like that.
Thank you Sandy for your helpful words.,that was a terrible experience for you and how sad a young life was lost...so tragic and senseless
Winning....
 
I remember that song very well Trysha,and "does your chewing gum lose it's flavour on the bed post overnight?" and how about "don't dig it there,dig it elsewhere" and I loved
Delaneys donkey and 40 shades of green by Val Doonican.The list is endless.Happy days.

Winning happily
 
I do indeed Trysh. Mad thing is my dad was a dustman for nigh on 20yrs ☺.. till carting the bins on his back caused him n to slip i dont know how discs in his back. No wheelie bins back then hun eh!!. 💕💕:hug:

I had to look up what half of you Brits were saying. :ywow: I didn't understand your English. :rof:
Lighthearted music really can make fun times better, and hard times sometimes even, well ... fun. :)
With that, I am winning.:dusty:
 
:rof: Sandy did you not know we are part of the 'lets confuse the rest of the world club' ... and with that im not winning or am i , i might be oh dear now im confused.. 😆

I belong to that club too! What a small world. :ylol:

I've been untangling 10 years of my job duties and training someone new to fill my job position while I'm on leave of absence for surgery. What an experience this week has been.
 
Oh that sounds like fun Shanen.. not !!. 😯
So glad you are in the club too hun. It is a small world, but i tell you what i wouldnt like to mow it :rof:💕
 
Glad to see you back eyneverskcud. Hope you stick around LOW (last one wins), we tend to scare others off. Sorry you didn't feel more productive today, believe me, we've all been there (or are still there).
 
I'll saunter in for another win. Trysha,'Super Market Mayhem' for a book title? To obvious?
 
Diverse adversity are my middle names Dave
There have been incidents in my life that beggar belief
As an example being new immigrants we had a few mistakes in choice of apartment so we decided to lash out on a high end one
The owners wanted to know which banks we had in the Uk. Etc
First incident a pyromaniac lighting fires in the parking lot in the black of night.
Second incident a drug peddler for a neighbour...we had complained of the noise,people screaming in the middle of the night etc
He hid drugs and a gun in the front foyer.
He was caught and jailed
Turns out he spent previous ten years in San Quentin for murder.....
To think we were asked for our UK banks.....
See what I mean.......you will have to buy my book for more....when I get around to writing it.
Winning........
 
Holy gaucamoley !!😨Trysh.. iv put down my deposit on the book already. Crikey girl that will be some read, unfortunately as it sounds you really have had a rough trot of it girl. Love n hugs 💕💋
 
I've no idea.I sent him an email at xmas and also one on his birthday last month.No reply,which is worrying.I mean he knows he has to have a note if he's absent.
But joking apart,if you're reading this Robert,please let us know you're ok.
 
Hey Trev, it's another hot one here. May go for a swim between innings of the cricket.
 
Maybe you can have a new swimming pool for a runner up prize Trev.
I finally had follow up to colonoscopy and was told nothing of structural significance or major significance found there.
Good luck with your surgery Shanen. May I be snoopy? I guess I've missed what they are doing. No matter what, you will be in thoughts and prayers.
Trysha, hope you are recovering quickly from latest scare.
I hope the rest of you are faring as well as can be.
In the mean time, I'll take the prize and quietly sneak away...
 
"Ileocecal Resection" is the official title Sandy. Great news all is good with the colonoscopy.
Be safe Trev. Sounds like a lot of fun.
 
Morning all......Did you know that botox,used to smooth skin,contains tiny amounts of the toxin Botulinum,one of the most deadly substances known to man ?

I think I'll keep the wrinkles,when I get any,that is !!!

Winning, with a skin as smooth as a baby's bottom :rof::rof::rof:
 
Good Morning to Everyone
Thoughts and prayers are with you Shanen...so sorry you have to go through that
Good news Sandy..that's one less for you to worry about
Carol you have such interesting information....years ago I worked in the Uk researching different methods for toxin extraction from certain anaerobes,Clostridium botulinum was one of them .
Some bacteria have therapeutic uses.
Sprinkles of sparkly snow here today although the temperature is gradually increasing
Lovely weather for brisk walking....
Winning.....
 
I knew you would know about it Trysha.I hope your trauma has subsided somewhat.
Of course,it has to hasn't it or they've won.Don't let the buggars get you down.
 
The hospital programme has been extended for me to include stress management
The first session I attended not without some misgiving and when I heard the bad experiences of others in their medical journeys I was simply appalled.
So when I was asked how I coped with stress I went to previous episodes in my life when I had the resilience of youth and actually had those people laughing instead of weeping..there were two tearful patients.
One of them said she always admired the British because they are so stoic and always came up laughing.
I thought to myself ......little do you know of the recent inner turmoil that I have experienced.
I did not relate the stories of the thefts...too much of a downer for the group
The occupational therapists run the classes and are so well balanced and good at controlling the meetings.,I had them laughing also.
I believe my place there is to support others and in so doing help myself through the traumatic events.
Life is good at throwing curves...ounce of help is worth a deal of pity
Plus I have very supportive friends here on LOW .......
Laughter is the best healer I find....even though it's not easy.
Remember Vera Lynn...Chin up,Cheerio,Carry on.
Winning....
 
Or.....pick yourself up,dust yourself off and start all over again.:rosette2:




and "give a little whistle"....:whistleinnocently:
 
Spread a little of that good cheer Allie's way, would you? It seems that the other day after I threatened to give her away on the weather thread, she became quite ill and her tummy growled louder than I have ever even heard Doug's crohnie tummy growling, and grumbled and growled all night. She did this once before recently and got over it quite quickly then, so I hope she does it again. She is even refusing food or treats right now. Poor baby.
I did like the attitude going around this morning tho. Gotta go get ready for some company coming soon. :sun:
(Good luck again Shanen for Monday. Doug was so much better after his resection. :rosette1: )
 
Good luck for operation Shannen, and for a good recovery.
Just had yum Cha and celebrated the Chinese New Year. Also went to Te Papa for a look around. Now back for a rest and then a swim in the sea [emoji38][emoji1303][emoji160][emoji305][emoji274]☀️[emoji481][emoji898][emoji484][emoji509][emoji517][emoji1397][emoji1398]
 
I remember that one too Tryhsa lol. ☺
Aw hope Allie is ok Sandy.
Shanen hope all goes smoothly tomorrow. Love n hugs.
 
Thanks for the well wishes. Starting to get nervous but really just want it over with.
 
:rosette2:I'm sending hugs Shanen and you know we're all here for you.It's the waiting that's always the worst.Once you get through the doors it's out of your hands,so just relax and let the staff look after you.We'll look forward to your "after"post. :ghug:
 
Lots of hugs prayers and best wishes for you Shanen....we will all be thinking of you tomorrow.
It will be over before you know it and move to recovery mode.,sometimes easier said than done but you will be fine
Are you near the Mayo Clinic? Or further afield in Minnesota
We have driven there a few times.
I had to go for a three day meeting there once when I was working.....it's very impressive
Winning.........
 
Hugs n love shanen. Hope to hear how well it went soon. Dont be causing to much trouble in the hospital now ok!!. Be good they let you out sooner if your a good girl lol. ☺. Best wishes hun. 💕💕💋

Love to all 💞
 
Meditation
In the depth of humility lies greatness
Standing on a high mountain one can see far beyond to other ranges
Shining with splendour in the sun
Anxieties of decisions transformed to hope and confidence
We have authority and inner peace to give life
May we have wisdom and perception to know which task is ours
To risk everything to use the gifts God gave us
Wisdom is bright and does not grow dim be on the alert for her
And anxiety will quickly leave you.For we are children of light
Meant to live with our eyes opened not stumbling in the dark.
Self reverence,self knowledge,self control.
How difficult it is to be a responsible person,
A lot of work to say what we mean simply and clearly.
To decide the code by which we want to live
And to live it without equivocation,is this not maturity?
Mature integrity (wisdom) that comes from doing
Only what we know is right......Saying what we believe to be true
Humility and awareness of dependence on God
And being open to Gods grace.
JG

Trysha
 
I write when under lots of pressure....not usually at other times unless requested.
Hope the post is not too long or boring.
Hope I am
Winning.....

Guess I was not good enough for the medics and teams then Mandy....
 
I absolutely love your writing Trysha.
But I say, so long as you are getting better, Shanen, go ahead and give them a hard time at the hospital. :biggrin:
It has been a gloriously sunny Sunday, and Allie is back to herself again. It may be just me, but I can't help but wonder if some neighbor (one in particular) has been giving Allie something not good for her. I hope not.
But all is right with the world today.:dance:
 
Hi Everyone
Hope you are all having a good day
It's an overcast day here with hints of sunshine...and dire forecasts of s.n.o.w....".......
Best get on with the housework...
Visiting England soon..won't put the date since the pickpockets might take note.........
Winning..........
 
Trysha what else could it be really hun. We all know how lovely n awesome you are,they were just trying to get the most of you, before letting you go..💕:hug:
 
Surgery is finished. Trying to keep ahead of the pain. It's been a long day but the worst is over now.
 
Hi Shanen. Glad your done n dusted hun. Hope you feell better soon. Keep on top of the pain meds hun.. dont wait till it hurts to much.. love n hugs, rest n relax now . Thanks for letting us know you are ok . 💙💜💛💚💋💋💋
