After a dreary, drizzly night it absolutely chucked it down earlier this morning but, looking out the window now you wouldn't think so - the sun is once again shining and the puddles have all dried up :)

[[deleted user]]

Maybe this will lure suzy back;

[theDuke]

I hope so Grizzly..she's been gone a frightfully long time now. :(

she'd better hurry up, because she knows i'll just eat it!

[theDuke]

I've sent a PM to her a few days ago,,,no reply as of yet. 5 weeks passed since she last posted.....i'm worried for her.

[Anita]

I had no reply as well.I think I'll pop a little note in the post from all of us.

[Martin]

Certainly the prognosis does not appear good as her last posts on her worsening condition indicated so I have been reluctant to drop her an owl post but always in our thoughts Suzy, a force majeure on 'zon and exiles her presence is sorely missed.

[Anita]

I'll pop a little card in the post .just to say we're thinking of her.

[[deleted user]]

Time to bring out the big guns;

[Blastronaut]

So... is Suze ok then? What's happening?? If anyone's clued up on the situation, will they please be kind enough to message me.

[Isabella]

Last I heard from Suzy (1st September), she was going back to hospital "for a few days' and she didn't expect to be back on line for a while but seemed sure that she would be. I sent her a message on the 20th but no response, which is worrying.
That's all I know, sorry. I miss her...

[[deleted user]]

Likewise - not heard from suzy since 1st September, more or less repeating what she said to Isabella.
I have since then sent a couple of 'Hope you're OK' messages to which I haven't received a reply.

[theDuke]

I miss our little 'ray of sunshine'. :(

I'm sure we all do. I'm also worried about Lez. Has anyone heard from her?

[Val]

She posted on the Gordon Sharp thread about 30 minutes ago. Still in hospital.

[theDuke]

I'm going to send a PM to Suzy..as i have her email address. However, if she is still in hospital, she may not have access to the internet. Can't have been a simple op, whatever it was she went in for..for her to be absent for this long.

[Anita]

Iv sent a little card sending all of our best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery.

[Anita]

I couldn't find the Gordon sharp thread.

Didn't realize Lez was back in hospital! That's how far outta the loop I am these days... not that I was ever in it mind.

[Anita]

I'm with you Blastro ,I also didn't realise lez is in hospital .I hope you're feeling better soon Lez.

[Anita]

Thanks Sussex.

[Blastronaut]

Well that's two of us then Anita. I'm just glad to be acknowledged full stop at the moment so thanks for that. : )

Yes I too hope Lez is mending at least a tad.

[suzysunshine7]

Hiyah Everyone ... x x x

I'm so very sorry not to have seen any of all these messages until now and to not have responded in return to such kind concerns and very generous wishes any sooner. I do hope that you can all forgive me.

I will always love September but, sadly, it is a month forever associated with several sad anniversaries and, with them, many extremely painful memories that always take a lot of mental and emotional strength to be faced up to and got through.

This year it has also turned out to be an exceptionally difficult and incredibly challenging time here for several other personal and private reasons, and, whenever things start to get really bad, I invariably tend to fall back on my usual coping mechanism of withdrawing from everyone, mentally and emotionally battening down all of the hatches and keeping myself to myself, rather than in opening up and sharing in such overwhelming sadness or pain with anyone else ... and that includes with my own M&D as well.

I have just received a beautiful Card full of such kindness from Anita ... x ... that has suddenly made me realise that I have barely been online for well over a month now and I honestly had no idea just quite how long it had been - or that my Inbox was so full of Email messages from such a lovely bunch of incredibly caring and supportive Forum friends either ... x ... thank you all SO much and bless you all ... x

On top of everything else that we have got going on here, over this last week we have suddenly found ourselves to now be very close to having to say our last goodbyes to our darling little Tia-Maria - and, with every treasured gift of each hour still with her, my Heart is breaking already as we keep vigil over such an adorably daft furry sweetheart who has always filled every single day of all of our lives together with such pride and joy, and light and love, and so much laughter. I simply can't find any words to even begin to express just how much she is going to be so terribly missed by us all.

Gotta go now, I promised myself faithfully that I wouldn't start crying - LOL - but the tears are now falling thick and fast as I type this out - and I've got two little hairy woofers here who both want for me to go cuddle and snuggle down with them on the Sofa ;o>

Please don't ever under-estimate just how grateful I am for such lovely Forum friends ... x ... we may not have met up with each other in real life but nevertheless you are all so very dear to me. Don't forget to always take very great care of yourselves, will you? I will definitely be coming back onto The Forums again at sometime - it's just that my Head and my Heart obviously aren't in the right place at the moment for me to feel able to do so ... x

Sending each and everyone of you all of my love ... x ... and my very best wishes as always ... x

x x x Suzy x x x

[theDuke]

Hello Suzy.

My heartfelt condolences to you and yours...a tough time indeed. Thank you for finding the time to let us know that at least, yourself is okay, despite the current circumstances you & your family are dealing with.

I was genuinely going to send you a PM this very evening....plus i remembered i still have your home address, so was thinking of sending a card too.

Anyway....I'm sure everybody will be relieved to know that you're still with us (cos some of us were starting the fear the worse!)...and we all look forward to seeing you back, as and when you feel ready to do so.

Best wishes and love, to you, our lovely ray of sunshine! :)

XxxxxxXxxxxxXxxxxxX

[Anita]

I'm sure we re all so pleased to read your message Suzy,I am so sorry to hear the news about Tia - Maria,they become so important to us don't they?Sending you a hug and hope to see you back on here when you are feel ready.xx

[Craig White]

that the moody cow back?

good. about time!

[Blastronaut]

Good to hear from ya Suze. Take as much time as you need; it's no good coming on the forums when you're not up to it. Just look at my annual (please somebody tell me it's no more often than that) tantrums for an example of why to stay away when low. Wished I practised what I preach mind.
Sorry about Tia. For what it's worth, I've been there a few times and know what yer going through... at least in regards to the pooch, bless her.
Take care m'dear, we're all thinking of you.

[Lez]

Good to see you, Suzy. I'm so sorry about all the sad times in your life. One small consolation is that you've had your little Tia with you a lot longer than you dared hope.

For myself, sorry it's been so long - 5 separate hospital stays since the sepsis one in May/June (this thread, post 4873) but I've been quite ill. You know I kept being sick? Well often I was losing consciousness at the same time, very scary! The docs from various disciplines were puzzled but thought it might be a heart problem. Eventually they fitted a mini tape recorder for 24 hours and luckily (!) I had a couple of blackouts during that time. The tape showed my heart actually stopping for several seconds each time! It seems likely it can be fixed by fitting a pacemaker and I've been moved to Q. Eliz. Hosp. Glasgow for further tests so things are looking hopeful, probably for next week. I do so hope they've got it right. They've changed my meds and I've not had any attacks since I came in on Friday.
I still can't email 😡 but if I can keep my iPad charged I should be able to post more often. The phone signal's good in certain areas.

[[deleted user]]

It's nice to see a post from you too, Lez :)

It must be a relief for the doctors to finally be able to diagnose what is wrong. I hope that getting a pacemaker is the answer for you :)

[Anita]

Nice to see you here Lez.As grizzly says good that they think they have worked out your problem .Best wishes for next week.x

[Craig White]

hey les, it would have to be something complicated, not like you'd do anything simple! x

usually if one of *ngl*sh birth has resided in god's country for a while, they will undergo a condition whereby the last of the *ngl*shness drops off like a snake losing it's skin. i thought maybe you were, what we call, becoming illuminated!

keep better!

[Helen The Melon]

Yes, good to hear from you, Lez. Hope they sort you out v soon. Try and look after yourself once you eventually get back home again.

[Blastronaut]

Good to (cyber) see ya Lez, surely they've got you on the mend now.

Had one of those '24 hr Heart Device Thingy' affairs attached to meself a while ago, along with a card to write down the times of my 'palpitations' and such. Your experience pales mine into insignificance, mind.

Sad to hear of the rough time you been having but glad to know they're getting to grips with it. Take care m'dear, hope to see you back on here soon.

[Val]

Good to see you're feeling well enough to post Lez! I do hope they've got to the bottom of this latest issue and that the pacemaker does the job along with the change in medication. You are much missed here and we all hope you are soon well enough to join in again. Take care.

[Lez]

Having my pacemaker fitted tomorrow, they don't waste time here!
It takes an hour or so and might only be sedation, not full anaesthesia. Will keep you informed!

[suzysunshine7]

Thank you and bless you and ... X ! X x x ... to you all ... x x x

Lez
Sending best wishes for tomorrow.x🌸🌸🌸

[theDuke]

I'm a little late, but hope the op went well for Lez.

Alas, on a sad note, my condolences to Suzy and her family. Little Tia breathed her last breath yesterday it seems. :(

RIP Tia

[Martin]

Just to echo those sentiments along with the above, an especially big hooray for the return of Suzy and commiserations to all those going through the mill at this time.

[TheFoe]

Hope the operation was a success Lez, missing you and Suzy on the forums. Sorry to hear that Tia passed away Suzy and that you've been so poorly, sending you a virtual hug!

[miscellaneous]

My heartfelt condolences to Suzysunshine for your loss of Tia.

And wishing Lez a quick recovery.

[Val]

Oh Suzy! So sorry to hear about Tia. I've been through this more than a few times and there's little I can say to ease your loss. I hope Mitz isn't grieving too much either. Waves of love are coming your way from us all.

[Craig White]

bob zombie (now killer bob) has now become chief provider to the family, depositing a freshly disemboweled mouse on the kitchen floor this morning - it's about time he was contributing! mmmm, quite nice on toast!

[Lez]

Oh Suzy, I'm so sorry about your lttle Tia. Poor Mitz will need lots of extra cuddles.
Lez. Xxx

[Blastronaut]

Suze - Sorry to hear about Tia m'dear, you're in our thoughts and prayers. Have messaged you.

Lez - Hope everything's going well with that lanky track athlete they fitted to your chest. Will message you when you're out of hospital and have more time for t'internet.

[TheFoe]

"Hope everything's going well with that lanky track athlete they fitted to your chest." I have visions of Lez taped to Usain Bolt! :-)
