Update. No food after 2am then they are going to scan him tomorrow to look for gallstones. He is on intravenous paracetomol. Not too strong I guess so not too bad.

Must ring NZ in the morning. going to bed now, did not get up until 10.30am but am surprisingly tired. ""I wonder why that is""??

Night all. Thanks for being there

Yes it's the worry that does it - a mother's love eh? I'm pleased it sounds a straightforward, if very painful thing Nik has - but hope that's put your mind at rest? Hope you sleep well xxx

Funny day - the girls stayed last night - so busy b'fast etc then the school run, bit of shopping, boring house jobs, made 2 soups, then I wrapped the Christmas gifts I've bought so far. Then my DiL called and asked if I'd pick the girls up from school as hse had been delayed - so girls came here - made them tea as they were off out early to the fireworks display.

Then my other DiL rang telling me all about visiting the school Owen will go to the part time nursery school there in January (he'll be just 3 then) - them my son came on for a chat - by the time my hubby had spoken to them it was 8.30 - didn't feel like starting to cook them - so just had soup cooked SW burgers from freezer which I had with baked beans - really tired now so off to bed.

Before I go - here's my food:

Lunch - SW French onion soup and an orange - strange combination!
Tea - More FO soup - SW burger with baked beans with a pinched oven chip from hubby's plate 1 syn?
part HEA in coffee

Syns: 5 - Freddo,, single oven chip1? = 6
Weekly syns: well I don't have any left after yest - but somehow these just happened! Will try to have no/low 2moro and Friday - then a clean sheet as I go into a new week - yay! Downside is my WI Friday - not hopeful!

Well I see what you mean about strange food but whatever got you through the day. Its a challenge when unexpected circumstances occur and could easily put us off track but you managed it and hopefully the burger and beans will have filled you enough that you don't wake up hungry in the middle of the night.
If that's all you've had all day, its not much though... so don't go too low tomorrow or you could end up with the knock on delayed effect and splurge!
Don't let it happen!! You've worked too hard over the last week and a bit. Can you try and have breakfast, even if its just fruit? I get the not eating too early bit but whenever I go without, I end up overeating later, even though I think it means I can have more food in a shorter time period, if you see what I mean, it doesn't seem to work out that way.
Sleep well... I'm off to bed now too xx

Thx - yes I prefer having b'fast but some mornings just can't face anything - usually make up for it in healthy snacks - or sometimes totally unhealthy ones! Did you notice my deliberate error - forgot to add my syns! Edited now! Night, Night I'm off too now - hope you get your full quota of sleep xx

 

[cloudy6]

Lol yes I did notice, was hoping you'd not gone over!

Breakfast here was a big one today, scrambled eggs and baked beans, followed by some superfree, raspberries, strawberries and few grapes. Fuel for the boring housework I'm about to do, including cleaning all the downstairs windows! X

Morning Doreen. Hope you slept ok and that your son had a reasonable night in the hospital, though it's usually too hot and noisy to sleep well there unfortunately.
Hopefully they'll decide today on what should be done. Stay well and warm, it's a chilly morning here xx

Oh that's good that he's feeling better and even better when they confirm the problem - thx for letting us know - I hope the scan enables the diagnosis and treatment begins.

Would you believe it - we had a phone call about 11.30 last night - we were in bed - my son asking if one of us wd sit with the children whilst his wife took him to hospital - hubby insisted he went on his own.

My son's eye has been swollen/sore for over a week but last night a blister developed on his eyeball then it started to bleed and said it was really painful when he blinked - his wife insisted he went to hospital there and then (apparently she'd been telling him to do to doc b4 that!)

The doc said it wasn't serious but it was severe infection and with the antibiotics will clear it up.

Of course they were waiting for a while so my son sent his wife home saying he'd get a taxi to allow my hubby to get some sleep - he arrived home at 5.00 am - children eh?

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Oh my goodness. Hope it heals up quickly. Men do not like going to the docs, eh. Mind you I don`t anymore either. Also of course these phonecalls are usually late at night.

Have a good day. I feel I can get on a bit now son has contacted me.

Yes now u've had that text I'm sure u feel better - just spoken to my son - he'd planned to have today and 2moro off anyway - so has been out to buy something for the car and now fitting it - boys will be boys!!

 

[Nanny Doreen]

DIL left hospital at 2pm to get the children and they had still not done the scan. They have let him take his anti-depressants thank goodness. He gets pretty angry at times without them and he is frustrated and starving. Poor thing.

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Scan done. Nothing showing so they are sending him home as tests inclusive. He has to carry on as normal and see what happens. Good news.

Early night for me.

 

[Liverbird52]

Glad to see both of your sons are ok and Nanny D's has been sent home. Hopefully it won't recur but he'll know what to do if it does, get straight back on to the doctor!
Well done on avoiding the bakery Linda.
I've made it through the day but still feeling very fed up with it all, for some reason. Will post foodage on my page and then I'm going to bed.
Good luck for weigh in tomorrow. xxx
