Just Another Shitty Day In Paradise…!
February 25, 2010
OK…I just thought that I’d write a brief ‘update’ blog, being as I haven’t written anything for a while, and I haven’t commented much on anyone else’s either.
This is turning out to be one shitty week…!!
There…’nuff said…I won’t bore you with the details.
First of all, I would just like to apologise to my dear friends who are probably wondering what’s happened to me…and second, I want to thank my very dear friends for their love and patience and concern and stuff. You know what I mean.
Last weekend, my sister let me know that Mum was back in hospital again, so I went to visit her on Monday. On Tuesday, my cold started to take hold, so I decided not to go and visit on Wednesday.
Due to my computer playing up, I did not get the timesheet in in time, as I had to fax it when I got to work, so we are all a week down in our wages…and for this I am to attend a disciplinarary later this week.
On Thursday, while I was at work, my sister let me know that Mum’s scan results showed that she has cancer, and it’s fairly advanced…so we were both very upset. (How come this wasn’t discovered until now, with all the tests that they have been doing since last summer…?!!! ) On Saturday, Jan and I went up to visit Mum, we were both dreading it, but Mum was so happy to see us.
Things are going to be very difficult for us in the weeks ahead, so if I’m not around much you will understand why. Thank you so much for all your good wishes and hugs, and love…I really do love you guys…you’re the best…XXXXXX
BTW…I still feel like crap…!

Hi Sandi, just seen your update. So sorry for everything that\’s going on with you at the moment. Big hugs and thinking of you xxxxx
Oh Sandi I am so sorry for both you and sister, how awful for you, and here was I putting on my stupid shitty day blog, it was nothing compared to what you\’re going through, I hope you all find the courage to get through this, and try to keep your spirits up, I\’m not religious, but if there is a God, may he look down kindly on you all.
Oh Sandi, you have the worst time to face ahead of you. We cant take the worries away but we can be here for you. Be strong mate. X
Massive hugs Sandi… ditto what Anne said.((((((((((HUGS))))))))))xXx
My blog is not showing updates again — put new one up a couple of day ago and obviously it its not showing.
My Thoughts are with u Sandi ((Hugs)) Luv PF XXX
Just seen this update and I\’m so saddened to hear about your mum being so ill…What with everything else I can understand why you\’ve been feeling the way you have…I know there\’s not much we can do on here…but you know we love you and will support you through anything you wish to share.Thinking of you xxx ((HUGS))
Hiya Sandi, well i\’ve been popping in here and over facebook to get some clue as to what was wrong and hadn\’t seen any updates anywhere! Obviously from other friends comments i now see that your mum is seriously ill, you have my sympathies and best wishes! (((HUGS))) xxx
So sorry to hear this news Sandi, a devastating blow for all concerned. I wish you strength and courage to sustain you through the difficult and painful times ahead…and the heart of a warrior to carry you through the hardest times. The Ice Wolves of Europa go with you. Icewolfie hug xx
Thank you so much for your thoughts and kind words. I\’m off up to visit Mum today, so I\’m hoping that there will be some news as to what is going on.Have been keeping mind busy, concentrating on costume stuff, and have started making a new bonnet…if I don\’t do anything, I think I\’ll go so far down in a spiral of negativity that I won\’t be of any use to anyone.Love and hugs to you all…and thanks…XXXX
Hi sandi .No easy way through these things but think how upset yourmum would be if she thought she was making you ill too. Iknow with my first cancer i thought i was going to die during chemo but all i thought of was my loved ones being upset . and i just wanted to reassure them all the time .be positive with your mum and talk about happy thins ,this will help her more than tears .Hugs for you darling XXX
Good idea making a new bonnet! Hope it goes well with visiting your mum and you get some proper information.Love n hugsxXx
I arrived at the hospital, yesterday, and my brother was already with Mum. They were waiting for the nurse to arrive to discharge Mum. She had had six litres of fluid drained from her abdomen, and until they get the test results back from that, which will be Friday, they cannot confirm that it actually is or isn\’t cancer. So there is no point Mum getting bored and fed up in hospital…she will be better off at home.It just means more waiting…and that is the worse bit! Where\’s the bonnet!!!!
Crossed fingers for Friday being good news.. go get that bonnet.. or better still have a look at my last blog and see if you have any ideas how I can make it….. ;o)(((HUGS)))xXx
ARLENE P(Offline)wrote: What a long wait that\’s going to be, but stitching may well help pass the time, let\’s hope for good news, I do feel for her, it must be so painful having that sortof treatment.
Everything crossed here too Sandi xxx
I\’m so sorry for your Mum Sandi! I hope things go better for you this week. Get some rest when you can and don\’t neglect your own health. I hope your cold has a very short life and things go well with all the testing. Take care, visit when you can and we will be here praying for you and your family…..Hugs!!
I hope it all goes well for you all on Friday Sandi…We\’ll be here if you need us ((Hugs)) xx
You\’re in our prayers as well.
I hope all goes well and that you are looking after your good self.Wulfy hugs LABW LABW xXx
Awwww Sandi. So sorry that I\’ve been wrapped up in my own problems to see yours. I knew you weren\’t right but I never realised it was so bad.Big hugs from me too. I\’m thinking of you all. Love you too. xx
Come here you… ((Big hugs)) xXx
Thinking of you and your mum. All my love and prayer\’s for you and your family. Thank you for taking the time to visit me and your kind comments.
There hasn\’t been much to report since last month. Mum went back into hospital for another drain, and when I phoned last, she said she was feeling better, as they had managed to get rid of more of the fluid, so she wasn\’t feeling so bloated…and she was able to eat a proper meal for the first time in months…AND she had a second helping! Anyway, she will be having six one hour sessions of chemo, so it\’s fingers, toes and everything else crossed!Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes…XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Thinking of u both, sending Positive & Healing Vibes, Big ((Hugs)) Luv PF XXX
The problem is, with the Early tests they weren\’t looking for cancer. Other diseases are usually ruled out first. I am appalled that you should be facing a disciplinary at this point in time. Is there no compassion for mitigating circumstances? That Woman really is a a cumudgeon. Remember if you need a chat, just ring and I will phone you straight back. xx
XXX 🙂
Crumbs- I\’m sorry my own \’time out\’ missed this post. Re the work thing. I should imagine (and I have many of those) the bosses could not have ignored it with all the probable complaints made. So a \’hearing\’ (note not an actual decision) not only would be a right action (if done honestly) but prevent recurrence.I hope no-one else is shovelling the shit your way. Take this opportunity to be honest,open and evidential about it all.Shit happens- you did what you could- right? Afterwards you can shoot them all in a \’postal rage\’. (that\’s a joke- ok !) re Mum- I think most has already been said. Love- make the most of today, get good info- do memorably stupid/fun things. I\’ll send another complaint to the \’Big cheese\’ for you. I\’m still looking for a beggers picture circa jane austin- I\’m beggining to think there weren\’t any then ?
Evrything crossed down here too Sandi! xxx
