Re: Not sure what to do !!!

@Shaz51 ... it sounds as though you have a lovely Mothers Day weekend. Clearly you are much loved and appreciated by all who know you. Just as I would expect. 🌺

Hmmm .. now the sore throat and feeling clammy is not so good. Please make sure you get it checked out if you are not feeling better in the morning. You really do need to be careful ... but I know I dont have to tell you that.

The appointment for your Mum tomorrow ... is that for another wound check and redressing? I guess you will be taking her for that? Ahhh so Thursday is the day .... a big day for you and Mr Shaz. Waiting with bated breath to hear the results of compatibility testing. I realise this is only step one, and there will need to be more tests. But its an exciting, yet very daunting, thing you are both attempting to do here. I so very much hope it all works out.

😔👎 to the "why me" moment. I know someone as positive thinking and caring of others as you are, will have pushed through that very quickly. 👍💓 But I cannot blame you at all for thinking that ... those fleeting moments of helplessness and poor me. It is very understandable. You've been dealt a very unfortunate pack of cards when it comes to your physical health.

Well ... its after 11pm and I'm heading off to bed. I hope you are comfortably tucked up warm and snug in bed right now. I hope to catch you tomorrow, all going well.

Take care beautiful.

Sherry 💕🤗

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

thank you for your message @Former-Member

I am starting to wonder if i get these aches and pains and sore throats and leg cramps when i get tired and maybe run down too
going to ring my new kidney nurse and ask her

yes took mum up for a redressing -- i think it is finally heading the right way towards healing , going to take some more time
we worked this morning , at lunch mr shaz said he was tired
so we had the afternoon off just watching tv xx

glad we did

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

I'm sure being run down does not help @Shaz51 , it leaves you more open to all sorts of ailments, often minor.

I was not aware that you had been allocated a kidney nurse ... thats fantastic. Yes definitely ask her, thats what she is there for. So good to hear that your Mums wound finally appears to be on the improve. Its been such a long and tiring road for all of you. Glad you have had the afternoon off. Was there anything interesting on TV?

so get some of the results thursday , then my next checkup is in june and then september

mr shaz still has a few tests to do and then i have to go to a information day in july

that your Mums wound finally appears to be on the improve. -- keeping fingers crossed here

it has been 13 weeks with 2 visits per week -- wow , but that does not worry me , as long as it gets better then getting worse

yes mr shaz said he was tired , so i said lets stay home

so we watched prospectors , blokesworld, timbersports, full customs garage --- ha ha car shows and a mining show

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Ha ha @Shaz51 .. Mr Sherry likes those prospector shows too. In fact he was watching something called Gold Hunters today on Foxtel. He also likes the History channel, and watches quite a bit of stuff on it.

Hello @Former-Member , @Bunniekins , @outlander , @Owlunar , @Former-Member , @Determined , @Smc , @Jacques , @Wanderer , @Adge , @TAB


had to get a new computer , and now my printer does not work
my mobile phone playing up so brought a new one
my dryer is on the way out i think
our fridge is 15 years old , so it is starting to play up
so as you can imagine mr shaz anxiety levels are going up


Ohhh i forgot all about my results of my appt , sooo much is happening at the moment
but mr shaz and my blood type are different , as you can imagine mr shaz is a bit upset that he might not be able to donate one of his kidneys --- i rang up and they said his blood would have to be treated first


my mum has what is called a hypergranulation wound now , still not healed as it should be after 13 weeks

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

If it ain't one thing it is another @Shaz51 , doesn't it seem that if one electric appliance goes others seem to follow?

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

sure do @Former-Member

and mr shaz is saying it is happening more and more now and he is saying "i am being around him too long "

had morning tea with mum and aunty and cousin this morning which was nice but mum was doing a lot of holding her tummy like having pains ( trying to conceal it )

yesterday tryed all day trying to fix a few things , but last night my head was hurting

ended up having 2 cupps of coffee after dinner

how is your day going
