<votive> for Mrs Martin54. Sometimes, not knowing quite what's wrong is worse than the thing itself, no?
Thanks to all for prayers for Brother R, and for his late partner, T. The funeral went as well as could be expected - she was only 55 after all, but a much-loved grandmother, mother, sister, auntie etc. etc. - so there were many tears, as well as a few laughs (at her expense).
Worth quoting - her younger son described her as 'the Family Tree that everyone hung their crazy stuff on', which we all took to be a rather well-put and fitting epitaph.
In ambulance with Telemum. Silver bandages were helping to keep infection at bay but they ran out so didn’t change her bandages for over a week so now she has another life threatening infection. Very high blood pressure, and a new development is an irregular heartbeat.
She had been getting better this week. But silver bandages only work if you actually have them.
I guess I should post a quick update.
My prostate problem continues to give me fits. I'm scheduled for surgery to ream it out on Wednesday. Meanwhile, I'm still wandering around with a catheter. I'm not happy about needing surgery, but I decided there wasn't much option. I'll be glad when this is all over.
Prayers for all, especially Telemum. Makes our own bandage lack fade into trivial. (Only compression here. And we should get them tomorrow.) May the infection retreat again.
Thank you everyone. I'm so scared. I can't stop crying at the moment. The house is huge and empty. Sorry. I probably lost my license driving home from the hospital last night. I only noticed the camera tonight. It's my wife's car and they'll write to her. And she can't have any stress. Every test they do comes up negative apart from the initial blood decay products (bilirubin & cytochrome?) in the cerebrospinal fluid from a week ago. 3 scans, the 2nd with gadolinium 'dye'. The 3rd an MRI tonight, results tomorrow. They're 'least concerned' about her of all the cases, which are ghastly beyond belief some of them. I can't face work where I feel relentlessly bullied anyway. I've given up taking my blood pressure.
Sorry.
At least my weight's coming down so I can die healthy. : ) Did my washing. Emptied the bin. I'll go and lose at Age Of Empires.
My kids and sister and friends and neighbours have been great by text. I feel very low on the pecking order with my wife's family. Spoke to my adored youngest who's been through his own utter fucking hell since before Xmas.
He was raped.
Sorry.
Life eh?
I just had to say all this. Let it out. Here. Thank you. Oh God.
Oh and my feet and knees are literally worn out and burn all the time.
Martin, that sounds like a storm of horror. Praying for you and those you love.
I am extremely concerned about my cousin R, his family (wife and two children) and his parents and sister. He has a unique form of epilepsy, a result of the fact that one hemisphere of his brain simply doesn't work. This has been managed so far, but worsened significantly a few months ago and is currently running wild. He is occasionally violent and more constantly seriously suicidal, and everyone is very worried. It is unclear why he has not been sectioned, to me at least.
The situation is horrible. Turboprayers for all concerned would be very welcome.
Praying for the Telefamily, Rossweisse and all Shipmates.
Praying, for Martin and his wife and his son and all who love them, For the Telemum, and for Thunderbunk's R, for all who struggle in the world and for all who sail this ship.
It's only here I can express myself to others. Thank you. I can't tell my wife I've been bellowing, howling the house down. Keening. No neighbours. When I had my cancer scares I was shit scared, but did't weep. The thought of losing her totally unmanned me. But I mustn't show or tell. But it does show. I'm drained. Flat. Thanks again.
So many loved ones here that I wish I could give a hug to.
I'm so sorry you all are going through such pain and suffering.
Just noticed I had cross-posted with Basso, too.

(((All the Martins)))

((Thunderbunk and cousin R)))
(((Rossweisse..Always)))
And anyone I missed or just needs a virtual (((hug))).

Telepath - sorry to hear the Telemum is poorly again.

Telepath, I'm so sorry about Telemum having to suffer so very much. There are no words. <votive>

I laughed just then, in the tears.
Thanks for being there.
