Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s 5am. I cannot sleep because the drain in my back is extremely uncomfortable. But the lovely nurse Sangita (Beautiful eyes!) has just hooked me up to some pain meds, so that will calm down soon. I was lying here in the dark (single room ward) and I could hear a lady further up the corridor crying and groaning and wailing . Poor soul. It’s the waking hours, when the morphine/pain relief has stopped…
Hi everyone, Paul here. Today’s quote: “Love is in the air”. It sure is when it comes to Barb and you, the Clarity family…………… all of your kind words of love and support over the past few weeks really have been appreciated. I know that Barb, Dave and Grace and all the family have read every single one of your comments. I think this set of stamps, designed by the lovely Ani, really sums up today’s quote Available HERE As…
Hi there! Grace here. Whilst Mum is in the hospital, it’s important that we keep this Clarity ship afloat! Please tune in to watch our Paul this afternoon. Quote for today: Keep Calm and Carry On…………………. He will be donning his glad rags today (on Create & Craft from 3pm-5pm) with a selection of some of my favourites fashion stamps… Hats, Shoes & Handbags A little bit of Tres Chic Festive Footwear …And how about some beautiful Poetry and frames?…
Hello hello. Grace here. I spent the day with Mum again, taking shifts with Dave. Mark and Alex have returned to SF today, but it’s been lovely to all be together, especially under the circumstances.Mum says she feels like a pin cushion. The cannula has been in and out of about every area of her arms and hands, and it’s now in her left hand (she’s a leftie!) so I’m writing the blog for her again today. We’ll keep it…
Hello hello! Grace here. Thought I’d pop in and write a blog for Mum today. Just got home from the hospital. She’s doing ok, we’re living in the solution and doing our utmost to stay positive. Unfortunately she has a very bad case of pneumonia and pleurisy in her right lung, and although we’re seeing improvements, she’s in for a rough go of it and will take a while to recover. But I think we’re all in agreement, friends, that…
Hi there thanks for popping in. Long days, longer nights. But so many wonderful people, nurse, doctors, porters. There’s no bed free in the respiratory wing, so I am in the Acute Medical something x this is the staging place in between A&E and a ward. Clearly, there is huge traffic through here, but it also means you meet lots of poorly people. quote for today Everybody’s got something. Am I getting better? According to the Doctors, the pneumonia is…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Today is a better day. The meds are kicking in, the nurses are wonderful, the chap in the bed opposite is so much like my brother, it’s uncanny, so there has been a lot of laughter, but some very deep conversations too. I was gutted when the Doctor said they’re moving me to the respiratory wing today. Single rooms and very specific, but I’ve lost my new best mate!! We’ve already swapped phone numbers…
hi there and just when you thought you’d turned the curve, and life was going to improve, God said “nah, not yet”. in a nutshell , the pinched nerve isn’t a pinched nerve at all. It’s pneumonia, and I’m in hospital . not much more to add than that. I’ve never know pain like it. I will be here a while . love always Barb x x
Hi there Thanks for popping in, and thanks for sending love and positive energy our way today. The funeral went very well indeed; I think Dad would have been very happy to see so many old friends and family gather. It was such a gentle affair, the sun was shining and the service was perfect. Lovely music, beautiful photographs and a fun and real eulogy. In short, a true celebration of Dad’s life. Unfortunately, I’ve pinched a nerve in my…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a funny old day. We had such a great evening yesterday. Bowling was a scream, and Dave and I did quite respectably for the oldies! But this morning I woke up and reality hit me. Slammed straight into me. I went off to pottery for a couple of hours this morning, thinking that would redirect my thinking, and I did what I needed to do for sure, but my heart wasn’t in…
