Texty's Back - Plain and Simple

You reckon you will get back on track for next week hun without weighing in this week? Did you need to just push the boundaries a bit and take advantage of being a target member?

Week name choosing! We struggled when we were choosing ours and then it just comes to you. What would you like him to be named? Dread to think what my kids will call theirs! X

Evening hun - I honestly dont know what ive been thinking this week, my heads been all over the place with sis and Andrea. Im not sleeping properly and I feel physically exhausted. I think this week ive literally thought sod it I cant be bothered. On the whole my meals haven't been too bad its the rubbish in between thats done it.

Other names she has chosen are Thomas and William neither of which I mind, but at the end of the day its their choice and whatever they call him will "grow on me" lol. xx
 
Hi ladies - not been in long. Sis looks terrible, she has no colour, no energy and her memory is worse. I asked what is happening and how she feels when shes having a funny turn, she cant describe it - she just feels lousy.

When she felt like that last Saturday and Sunday it let to her mini stroke on the Tuesday. She has post it notes all over her living room to remind her to do things. Im texting her every day to remind her to eat something, and ill ring her tomorrow to remind her she has a docs appt at 4pm, I cant take her because im doing the airport run with son as he flies at 7.

And breathe ................ lol x
 
I think she needs to be in hospital babe, they need to know that she is having what sound like mini strokes or after tremors... Each little one she has will weaken her memory more as it cuts off vital blood/ oxygen to her brain... Scary stuff babe... Is there no one else that can go with her? She needs someone to stress to them what she is going through... xx

from the dark side with love...xx

They just keep sending her home hun, until shes actually having one when attending hospital theres nothing they can do for her. They have advised her to stop smoking ( she wont) Ive been really blunt with her re grandkids and family etc. I dont know if shes just putting a brave face on and saying shes not scared, or if she really isnt, she just keeps saying shes gotta die of something!! I dont know what it will take to get through to her. Meanwhile its me thats stressing and worrying grrrrr x

Thanks hunni - Sis is 49 and had a stroke about 6 weeks ago. Its affected her arm, leg and memory, then last Tuesday she had another mini one. Docs have told her there is no bleed on the brain, but they have done loads of tests as they think its caused nerve damage. So im spending a lot of time there and making sure Andrea is ok too and working full time, so im quite drained lol xx

Yes I can imagine it's all quite a strain for you and taking it's toll. No wonder you feel like eating all sorts eh? Remember to look after you too hun and chill as and when you can.

That's very young to have had a stroke (only two years older than me!) she must be worried bless her. Hope she can try to cut down at least if that's what she's been advised.

Hope you sleep ok tonight xxx

Andrea keeps telling me off for stressing, but when thats your nature it cant be helped lol. Ive got quite a busy day/night tomorrow then think ill have an early night after a long soak.

Yes its young chick, her lifestyle really hasnt helped. I hope it does now make her think about changing, but at the moment nothing anyone says or does is having an impact.


Ive just finished my hot choccy so Im going to try and get some sleep now, ive been up since 5.30 eekk. xx
 
Awww bless Sheila you've so much on your plate at the mo, no wonder you're stressing. Don't forget to take time out just for you, go to a cafe on your own for a brew or just sit alone in a room just doing nothing xx
 
Oh Hun, I'm so sorry to hear about all of this, it really can't be easy .. Sending massive hugs your way x x x
 
As a fellow 'stresser' over family troubles, all I can say is remember that YOU need to look after yourself too, cos you're no help if you end up ill. Work through those things you can deal with and try not to dwell on those you can't. It's the mind churning over and over that gets to you. Huge hugs for you and hope today is a little less worrying. Xx

Aww no! There's nothing worse when you have things on your mind and can't sleep then having to go to flipping work! Try not to worry about your son, he will be fine hun. Hope you can have a relaxed evening now? xx
