Christmas Tree 5053 Posted Wednesday at 23:08 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:08 3 hours ago, Monkeys Fist said: Got home from my shift at 11am. Shower, breakfast and an hour chilling out, then I got a call from Cramlington Hospital. The worst possible news, my Mam has, at best, a few days. The source of her problems finally showed up on a scan and her small bowel is dead, basically. A restriction on the artery that supplies blood to it has cut it off the supply and it’s died, surgeon said that it’s not survivable and she hasn’t got long. Fucking Hell man, what a kick in the bollocks. Just got home, she’s on morphine which, ironically, has meant she was more herself than she has been for months as the pain has gone, but she’s exhausted so we’ve left her to sleep. Back in tomorrow to see the palliative care team and find out if she can come home. Fuck sakes. So sorry for you and yours mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 44859 Posted Thursday at 14:53 Share Posted Thursday at 14:53 Alright lads. Thanks for the support- very much appreciated. Mam passed away this morning, and tbh, whilst I’m obviously very sad, it’s a relief. Might be a bit scarce on here over the next few days as there’s a lot to sort out. Cheers again 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 49274 Posted Thursday at 15:09 Share Posted Thursday at 15:09 Ah man, sorry to hear that. So quickly, suppose fortunate that you got in to that doc so you at least had some warning and understanding of what's going on. Anyway, really sorry to hear your news. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 44859 Posted Thursday at 21:00 Share Posted Thursday at 21:00 Hey lads Just had a message from one our fine members and I said something which I thought I’d share with you all. So.… One of the things I love most about here is that, even though we’re mostly total strangers to each other in real life, whenever one of us is suffering we come together like few places I’ve seen in t’interweb or real life. It’s my time to now be the recipient, and it really does mean so much to me, so thanks, each and every one of you. Even if you are a pack of twats 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 22506 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago I remember doing that to me old man's place. That was tough because it was our childhood house. But some of the stuff we found made us laugh and a little easier He wasn't a man of many words me old man, but he kept diaries which we never knew about. The diaries were all about his veggies he grew every year. One year it basically said 'potatoes (variety) - shite' 😂 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same one she used to use to rinse our hair when we in the bath as kids, which made us both roar laughing. No potato diary though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
