Sick of carrying 2 hitchikers, Part 2....1 down 1 to go !!!!!!!

Hello lovelies, :thankyou: Thank you for your concern, Kirsty and bubs are just fine thank god, it was so late when we got back from hospital...Kally you probably know of Northwick Park Hospital, we didn't get back till nearly midnight last night and after my day outt shopping I was way too knackered to do anything other than just drop into bed.
When we got to hospital Kirsty n Mark decided to head to A&E even though I suggested they might be better off just heading straight to Maternity, but what do I know lol...so off we trundled to A&E and we sat and we sat and we sat some more, I was actually very surprised as the board was showing a 6 hour wait but we actually only waited about 45 minutes ...guess that's cos Kirsty is pregnant, still would have thought it would have been quicker knowing she was pregnant...anyways they took her into a cubicle listened to what she had to say, then cleaned and bandaged the wounds on her hands and knees and told her to go to Maternity which is where she should have gone first ...I'm not going to say told you so :giggle:....so we get to Maternity, we have now been at the hospital about an hour and a half and they decide to put her on the monitor to monitor babies heart beat, so we are there for nearly n hour while they do that and babies heart rate is so fast and spiking, so Mark decides to lean over and sing Twinkle Twinkle to Kirsty's tummy and immediately babies heart rate became more stable and when he stopped it started to spike again, so again he sang and again it levelled out, it was just so cute...baby knows Daddies voice already (might have something to do with the fact Mark has read the book on Fathers roll in pregnancy, birth and the following years) that might be because Mark talks and sings to baby every single night since Kirsty got pregnant....Kirsty has said a few times that when baby is going wild and kicking like mad, Mark comes along sings and talks to baby and it immediately calms down...amazing ...anyway they decided after about an hour that baby was ok but then want to monitor Kirsty as she had been experiencing some pain and feeling sick, but eventually were happy to let her go and advise her if there were any problems to come back immediately and directly to MATERNITY :8855: not that I'm rubbing that in mind lol xxx

So today I don't have a lot of time, going to Kelly's soon to make Kelsi's b'day cake ...same one we made for Kia ...for those that don't remember it or even those that do it was big and very very chocolaty lol...not very conducive to weight loss lol but oh so yummy lol and I won't be back till early hours and then another full day tomorrow as it's Kelsi's birthday and they are having a bbq then she is having a sleep over ...can't believe she's 14 already ....I could cry :cry: wanted them to stay little forever lol ...anyway I will pop in when and if I can so have a great day and a brilliant weekend which is going to be hot hot hot :woohoo: and I'll catch you Sunday xxx:hug99:xxx

This is the cake we are making :eek: lol

Hello lovelies, had a really busy day today, it's birthday time, got so many this month :argh: had 2 last Sunday, 1 Monday, 3 yesterday ( would have been 5 if my mother and brother were still alive), 2 today, my granddaughters Saturday, 1 on the 12th, 1 on the 15th, 3 on the 17th and a few more towards the end of the month. Also on my way to hospital with Kirsty she had a fall outside her works this morning, fell over a paving stone which was sticking up. Initially she felt ok had cuts on her hands and knees, but now I'd getting pains in her tummy, NHS Direct think she should be checked out just to be safe, will let you know how she gets on when we get back xx
Goodness poor Kirsty and her precious bump!

So glad Kirsty and baby are well, I love that baby is soothed by Mark's singing, personally Paul can't sing for toffee and I think if he'd have sung to either of my baby bumps I think i would have punched him hard and asked for a divorce!!!

OMG I want that cake!!!!
 
North wick park is awful.

I took hubby there when he had an asthma attack and they took forever to get to him even though he came in with the ambulance.
 
So glad Kirsty and bump are ok! :) xx

Kirsty is fine, apart from going to Kelly's for Kelsi's b'day today she has lounged about and taken it easy and seems to be no worse for her experience other than torn trousers and cuts on both palms and her knees ...the cake was amazing xxx

Glad to hear mumma and babe are both OK. Such a relief. Enjoy making the "not really very much chocolate at all" cake. I won't lower the tone by repeating what I said about Christmas and keeping busy in other ways though. :8855: Have a good day and a better w/end hun. :D

It is a relief hun, we are also glad mum and baby are both doing ok. I tried to make the main body of the cake but couldn't so Mal helped her and Kelly decorated it ..it really did taste good though and was only about 20 syns a slice xxx

I do know Northwick Park Lily

but I've heard the maternity unit is good there though

I'm with you on that one Kally, I had my oopherectomy in NWP and paid the price, long story short had the op went home 5 days later ...5 days after that was rushed back in with an abscess in the wound which had burst (only the day before it burst I had gone back for a check up and was given the all clear) my blood pressure dropped so low they were worried I might croak and then when I was seen by the doctor I was pumped full of Antibiotics for 3 weeks (3500mg via drip and tablets 4 times a day) and as for their A&E it's a joke...but I diod have my kids in the maternity unit and so did my Kelly and Kirsty is due to have her bambino there and I can't complain it's one of the best....I am under Watford General for my skin problems and refused to see a doctor at NWP but Kelly refused to have her kids at Watford as they have a poor record for their Maternity Unit, so I guess it's swings and roundabouts xxx

Goodness poor Kirsty and her precious bump!

Mark can't sing to save his life so I already know baby is tone deaf :8855: but it is cute how baby seems to calm down when he sings xxx

North wick park is awful.

I took hubby there when he had an asthma attack and they took forever to get to him even though he came in with the ambulance.

It really is, I haven't been back their personally since my oopherectomy in 1999,been there about 3 times with others but never for myself and I would advise others not to either xxx

wow to that scan Lily :wow: and well done to Mark too :D So glad Kirsty is okay :bighug: sorry not been about my lovely twin I had a minis break but I'm back now :bighug: xxxxxxxx

The scan is amazing isn't it...Kirsty is just fine, I am glad you're back my lovely twin, I did miss you :hug99:xxx

So glad Kirsty and bump are ok! :) xx

It's nearly 1.30am and I have had the worst day since..well I don't know since when .....this started last night, I went to Kelly's as you know to make the cake but my hands and feet were so bad (worst they have been in years) that I couldn't stand and I couldn't help much, by the time I left Kelly's I was in floods of tears....I try not to get upset about my skin and the problems I get with it, the soreness and the constant pustules and flaking and as much as I thought it was bad while I was away and I managed by bandaging it up, this time that hasn't worked.
I normally try to think of others that are in a worse position than me and that keeps me going but right now I can't seem to do that, I have had enough, I don't think it helps that Mals ears aren't getting any better and he is as deaf as a post, doctors want him to continue for another 2 weeks with the drops, I speak to him, he doesn't hear me then I raise my voice so that he can and I then get a mouthful of abuse because he doesn't like me talking to him like that,but all I am doing is raising my voice so he can hear me and that on top of everything else is really getting me down and so today I blew it big time and that in itself has upset me more and I then cried and ate, ate and cried and now here I am 1.30 in the morning crying cos my feet and hands are sore, itching and burning and I can't sleep, I am chewing gum hoping that will keep me from stuffing my face to blunt my misery, seems like it's a never ending circle and I can't find a way off it.
In my heart of hearts I know that I can do this, my massive loss has shown that I can, but right now I feel like saying f**k it it's just another thing that I don't need to depress me .
Selfish as it sounds I said to my daughter when I was watching the paralympics that I was jealous of them, lots of them have no legs or arms and they can do whatever they want as they have shown, I have both sets of my limbs but I can't walk a lot of the time and I can't do much with my hands most of the time either ....to be honest I feel like a complete waste of space most of the time ...I know that my kids and you guys will say I'm not because I keep the family together and without me they wouldn't cope but that's not how it feels to me I feel like a burden, right now I can't even wash myself or dress myself and my hands are just so sore and stiff and swollen....I am typing this with one finger that doesn't actually have any pustules or broken skin or sores on it............
I am going to go ...sorry to pour this out on here but I needed to get it out...I promise you I don't want or need you to feel sorry for me, I can do that quite well for myself, but I did need to get it out of me and this seemed the right place to do it.... hopefully I can pull myself together and not put on too much this week, but I doubt it....I will be back but I am also going to give myself a bit of breathing space probably both from SW and maybe from Mini's too xxx
 
oh Lily :bighug: :bighug: :bighug: I am so so so sorry to hear this my lovely twin :bighug: this is so unfair and it must be awful. When do you next go back to see the specialist about your skin?

I so wish we knew what caused the flare ups so that you didn't go through with this so often :( :hug99: :hug99:

You have done so well Lily and to a point SW has become a way of life so i'm sure you won't drop it totally. :hug99: I so don't know what to say but here if you need me mylovely xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Pour your heart out all you want lily , we're all here for you , Hugs and kisses xxxx
