Hi Dizzle,

I've been thinking about you a lot recently. Dare I ask how you are doing - how did the case about your house go?

Huge hugs,

Hi everyone

Update on my mum. She had her appointment today and sadly the doctor is 99% sure it is cancerous. She will now have it removed hopefully in next 2 weeks. Then we will know if it has spread to surrounding area, hopefully its been caught early enough and hasn't. Although it has grown since she saw the gp who sent photos. 

Hope everyone is OK xx 

Hi Jolamine

Mum just taken it in her stride. Just sat said OK but don't think she took it all in. Like us all you don't at the time. Took her home had a cuppa and we talked about everything except what had been said. Except she said she's only going to see my brother my youngest son me and our vicar till after the op. Before this she didn't go out far in case she caught covid so now she is more or least going to see isolate again. She lives alone as dad died 22 years ago. She was ok this evening when I phoned but going to see her tomorrow incase delayed shock of it has set in. Just going along with what she wants and how she feels  x 

Hi Beachbabe,

It takes some time for this sort of news to sink in. I hope that you find her ok tomorrow. At least you are there to support her and you know how to deal with all the waiting.

I hope that you are coping ok with this too, as it's always especially hard when it's your mum.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Morning

Sorry for late reply! Been up and down week! Mum blocked it out as if nothing is happening. But she had a call Friday to say  Wednesday is day they will remove it. So here we are after 3 nights with not a lot of sleep ready to face it. I do think I am more worried than mum. Because like you say she's my mum! Will let you know later how it goes.

Thank you for being there for me x

Hi babe really glad your mother is getting in quickly, but sorry she needs treatment at all .

Hope things go well and she's soon feeling really to get back to normal (well new normal) . Sure you'll be keeping your eyes on her for a while.

Take care of yourself as well .

Hi Beachbabe,

I'm glad that they fitted your Mum in so quickly. I'm thinking of you both and hope that it all goes as well as it can today.

Kind regards,

Hi Jolamine,

Thank you for thinking of me. 

Im pleased to say im doing really well. Throwing myself into AA meetings and recovery groups and fast approaching being 4 months sober.

The court hearing was adjourned til next Thursday and by some miracle Jamie reached out to me after the last one. Seems he was given an ultimatum by social services to take out all these orders on me, or risk the children going into care...and they say they are there to keep families together? We've been treated disgustingly by them.

But main thing is, im seeing the kids a lot more (almost daily) and we want to work on our marriage with the aim to have me move back in within the next few months. At the moment im happy to stay in the shared house to concentrate on my recovery. A massive leap from where I was at the begininng of the year. It has given me hope that there is some sort of higher power looking after me and as long as I dont go near that first drink, things can only get better.

Beach...sorry to hear about your Mum....sending her love and strength x

Hope everyone else is ok.
