Health Updates ... And Spring Is On The Way.

[debris4spike]

Just to get you all back up to date with health issues!

I am still finding some problems breathing, however am much better than I was. I went to orchestra practice last night and was able to play most of the way through. We have a concert in 10 days and I do have someone who will cover for me if neccesary, so that takes some of the pressure off.

Auntie Joyce is home. Today is her birthday, so it is good that she is home for that. I just hope that she doesn't have an emotional relapse now she will be by herself.

Slv's daughter Kay is still in hospital, and had her pacemaker fitted last week. They hope to be able to be home by the end of this week. Although stressful, Kay herself will not remember these days and will grow up used to the device, so that is a positive focus for us all.

On a sadder note my parents neighbour, who is also a close friend, has just phoned to say that he has had his test results - cancer of both kidneys. So, he has decisions o make.

So, overall, lots of positive news ... although not so good for Eric.

Over the weekend, when I started taking a few pictures for the mEME I also spotted these snow-drops in Mum and Dads garden - so wanted to share ... Spring is on the way!

Lucky you with spring on the way. Those budding flowers are pretty. :)

We're getting 10 inches of snow tomorrow supposedly. :-p

We don't really get snow in our part of England ... looks lovely, but no fun for travelling!

Definitely more good news than bad, which is always a positive thing.

[debris4spike]

Yes, lots to be positive about.

Ooooooooooh! Snow drops! How exciting! It's a little too early for them here (especially as we're expecting snow and ice later today), but come late February, they should pop their little heads out of the ground. :)

I'm sorry to hear about your parents' neighbor.

And stay healthy!

[debris4spike]

Thanks - yes, it was great to see the snow-drops already out. Eric is being positive - the oncologist has given him quite a few options, which sounds good as well.

Good new about your auntie. Hope she has someone close who can help her out and keep an eye on her. My mom had to have a pacemaker and it made a world of difference to her life. She perked up and was very active after the surgery. Good luck to little Kay. Sorry to hear about your parents' neighbour. It's very sad. Not so spring like here. We are having an ice storm.

[debris4spike]

Yes, I think my American friends are all saying similar about the weather - sorry!!!

Yes, positive news here - and although Eric's news isn't great the specialist is giving lots of options, which sounds positive.

Lots of good news and some sad - that's the right way round for it to be. Hope your aunt copes OK now she's home.

Yesterday felt very springlike here, and then today we woke up to freezing fog. The snowdrops are delicate little things aren't they.

[debris4spike]

I just loved those snow-drops. It is pouring now as I type this ... so maybe they will just get washed away.

Yes, overall a lot of good news - so positive, even though it was a bit of a shock about our neighbour.

Glad to know things are going well even with the neighbor's bad news. ::hugs::

[debris4spike]

Yes, thanks, more positive than negative.

[winsomeone.livejournal.com]

The flowers are so cute-we don't have those here.

Glad most of the news was good.

[debris4spike]

Thanks - snow-drops are so sweet, they are amazing.

Love seeing the Farscape icon, btw.

Spring! And good news! I'm glad that you, Auntie Joyce and little Kay are doing much better. Sorry to hear about Eric though.

[debris4spike]

Yes, basically good news here ... Eric has a good specialist, who is giving lots of options, so that is positive as well.

[bendy1.livejournal.com]

Glad you're feeling better \o/

[debris4spike]

Thanks - it must be all that sitting around studing tiles of James and of Spike that has done it - LOL

[jaded-jamie.livejournal.com]

There's some things to be positive about *hug*

[debris4spike]

Yes, there is a lot more positive than negative today.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's the weather that makes you have difficulties to breathe? I've been having the same problems for three days now .
Here in France we had a lot of snow again .

Good news for your aunt .

[debris4spike]

You would think the snow would give cleaner air and therefore easier to breath!

No real reason for me - I think I am just hoping to have my own syndrome! Hope that you are breathing easier soon.

[cordykitten]

I hope you'll feel well again for the concert!

At last some good news too (besides that you feel a bit better already. I hope to read soon that you're really well again!)

[debris4spike]

Thanks - mmmm nice soup!

Yes, more positive than negative, so that's great.

[deborahw37.livejournal.com]

Awww snowdrops!

Glad you're feeling better

[debris4spike]

Thanks - saw some more snowdrops this morning.

[kaczurda.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear all the positive health news - and I hope your parent's neighbour will be ok

[debris4spike]

Thanks - overall more positive than negative, so thats good.

[ezagaaikwe.livejournal.com]

Always good to see you post, even if I don't comment as often as I did. So sorry to hear about your parents' neighbor. I will keep him too in my prayers. Happy b'day to Auntie Joyce! And lovely lovely snowdrop pics. I am so hungry for something green--it's subzero here.

[debris4spike]

Yes - starting to brighten up here - although we have had so much rain, it is hard to see the new growth in the mud!

Great to hear from you - sometimes RL does take over too much, doesn't it???

Thanks for the prayers - faith is what keeps us all going.

[ezagaaikwe.livejournal.com]

...sometimes RL does take over too much, doesn't it?

It does indeed.

[louise39.livejournal.com]

Happy that you are feeling better.

Lovely pics of snowdrops - give you hope. We have more snow today and grey skies. My snowdrops haven't broken throuh yet.

[debris4spike]

Thanks - mind you, it is cold again now, and snow is falling in East England.

[act3scene1.livejournal.com]

I am glad your breathing has improved. It has been a few days since you wrote this post. Are you still improving? I hope so.

Love the photo of the snowdrops. Everything here is still dormant. I have not even seen any bulbs peeking through the ground yet. It makes me want to go into hibernation.

[debris4spike]

Thanks - the breathing is still up and down.

Spring was coming - got ice again now!
