Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Hey Mel

How are you, I was starting to worry incase you were swept away with all that flooding down there. Its is such a shame when I see it on the news, so I hope you are safe and dry. :) We had snow overnight and was pretty bad blizzard this morning:), roads were very slippy but its all gone again now and replaced with yet more rain and heavy wind :(

Drat that work is still manic, I had a good week, very interesting but good at the same time. I,m still cooking every night, and I made Scotch Broth soup and it was delish :D

Hope to catch up with you and trish soon xx

I was looking at pics of the flooding this morning, it is really bad. Some very impressive photos of HUGE waves crashing in, with some foolhardy people out watching it!!

I am here, shall we send out a cosmic message for Mel to come chat with us :D

It is after midnight where you are... hmmm or maybe 11pm... anyway it is very close to your birthday!!! So let the "Festival of Tracy" commence!!! Much love coming your way and hope you get royally spoiled!!!! See you later on, I am going to have a cocktail at my lunch in your honour :D

****HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY****

Sharlene and Molly muffin

Happy Birthday, Tracy!!

Hope you are having a good day!! I had a lunch date with friends for my birthday lol, Mel I had the pulled pork and it was delish too, probably not as good as yours though :).... got a nice pressie too, plus I have a dinner on Wed night... so my festival is going on nearly a month!! Can't complain! Catch up with you soon, nearly bedtime for me x

Thanks everyone for birthday wishes. I was out last night and I'm just up. Feel a bit fragile as there was much Bellini,s drank lol. Today I have to finish painting my niece house then I have dinner tonight with the family. My friends got me a silver bracket with a paw print charm and a W on it for Woody I did cry it's lovely ::D

Hey you

Happy Birthday :D

How sweet that they got you the bracelet, at least they understand how important he is to you. That painting is gonna suck with a hangover, you will have to take it slow.

Have a great day, hopefully catch you later

Mel

Hey Mel

I,ve had a bacon sarnie and a can of Irn Bru the Scottish hangover cure lol feel a bit better and more in the land of living. I don't drink Irn Bru don't really like it but works for a hangover. :D

How's your weather it is dark, raining heavy and cold here

I haven't had irn bru in years :D glad it has helped

It's whipping up with the wind but not raining yet, apparently we are in for yet another storm later!

Are you going somewhere nice for dinner? Am thinking it's a roast today but I don't quite have the inclination yet as I have to clean and I am not in the mood :eek:

My sister is cooking a traditional roast for me and the family at her house I'm really looking forward to it, I love roast dinners but haven't mastered cooking them yet my next project maybe.

I think we may have the storm I've just driven over to my niece and there is branches all over the road had to take my time :eek:

Roast is just about timing. If you know how long everything takes it's just scheduling really. I got up and did 10 mins of cleaning then sat back down just not feeling it :eek:

Shocker re the branches can be so scary when that wind is going. Hopefully you will get the painting done quickly so you can then relax for the rest of your day.

Have you started potter yet?

Awww aren't your friends sweet giving you that special gift. Hope the roast was tasty, they usually are... one of my favourite meals, especially if it is roast pork!! :D I do not know what irn bru is, will have to google it to find out! Hopefully catch up soon, won't be around much this weekend thought as have the Bruce concert up in Auckland, least I get to fly this trip! :D Hope your week goes well and work keeps on going well, how are the new owners going, any new changes... apart from more work for you? xx

Hi Mel/Trish

Meal was lovely but it was roast beef Trish I don't like pork. It was a long day but got the painting finished so she moves in this weekend. I have came down with a flu bug I'm all achey and have bn sick was sent home from work, so hot lempsip and hot water bottle and bed for me :D

So sorry you are feeling ill Tracy. I hope you are able to rest and feel better soon. Xxxxxx

How rubbish Tracy, good you dragged yourself in so they could see for themselves. Need to get your sister to knock up some chicken soup :D

Hope you are feeling a bit better soon

Xxxxxx

Feel better Tracy!

Oh fiddle the flu. :( I agree with Mel, get that sis of yours to bring over chicken soup. :)
Poor dear, I do hope you knock this thing out real soon and feel better.

hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

It's all that running about outside in the rain!! Poor thing, the flu is STINK!! Get well soon Tracy!! Keep the fluids up and some Vit c! x

Thanks everyone I didn't make work today, have been in bed most of the day. Not sure it is the flu, as I only have a sore throat, but I keep being sick so maybe a virus I've picked up. Waiting on my sister coming up with Chicken soup (thanks Mel) and some ginger to help with the nausea I feel as weak as a kitten, but hopefully will feel better soon :)

Tracy:
So sorry to hear you are ill. Hoping your sister fixed you up with some chicken soup. Blessings
Patti

Hey you

Hope the soup helped? Was it nice?

That's the one thing I am yet to master and I love chicken soup, skimming stock gets on my nerves and I can never get the flavour!

Sick is the worst as you have no control over it, hope that has stopped quick smart...

Hoping you feel better soon

Mel
Xxxxx

Oh Tracy,
Nausea is the worst. I hate that feeling.

Chicken soup sounds great! Wish my sister would do something nice like that.
Feel better soon!

Hope the chicken soup helped and you are soon on your feet again.

Mel, I start with low sodium chicken stock, then add a regular sodium stock, add in lots of veggies cut small and at the last minute whatever kind of noodles, or rice or barley you want. Don't over do it as it will soak up a lot of the stock, then add more chicken stock when you want to reheat some, to thin it up a bit. Seems to work for sick days around here. (should remember to make note to add this to our new Human Recipe Thread, which you all should check out too!!) :)

Sharlene and molly muffin

Hey everyone

The Chicken Soup was delish on the way down but not so good on the way up if you know what I mean. Didn,t make work today either, I had to get the emergency doctor out late last night, as I couldn,t keep water down, so I got a injection on my butt to stop me being sick and it has worked. He also gave me anti sickness tablets to take, said it was the Norovirus or better known as "the winter vomiting bug". Feel better today still pretty weak as I,ve not eaten in 3 days, but have managed some soup today at 3pm and its stayed down, so back to work tomorrow :eek:

Take it easy, it can take a bit to get over that virus.
Sounds pretty horrid actually, not even being able to keep water down. :(

get rest!!
hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

Tracy:
Thanks for the help with the collar. I am going to get her one. I hope the soup makes you feel better. Maybe it is a different type of bug going around over there. Feel better soon. Blessings
Patti

Eww re the chicken soup, that would have put me off for life. Am hoping the doctors shot has helped and that your not feeling so icky?

How was your Friday back at work?

Hope your doing ok and that we catch up soon

Mel
Xxxxx

Hi Tracy and Mel - are you back in the land of the living? That Norovirus is really, really contagious. You should not be back at work until it is well gone out your system. That bug closes wards in our hospital every know and then. Staff that get it need to be clear for at least two days before they are allowed back at work. So hope your feeling better, it really takes it out of you. xx

I've missed my UK buddies, both you and Mel this week! Hope your both doing OK and work has not been too draining after you have been sick! Hopefully hear from you both soon xx

Keek a boo Trish I,m here, not been around for a while, as that virus knocked me out, I,ve just been coming home from work and going to bed as I had no strength, but feeling better today. I must go catch up on everybody. :D

Hooray, I really should yell for you more often!! Sorry you have been so tired, that has really knocked the stuffing out of you. But Friday night where you are so hopefully a nice relaxing weekend in store for you

Yeah I,ve got nothing planned, just take mum for her shopping tomorrow and chill the rest of the weekend get my strength back :D What you up to this weekend.

Same, with visits to the hospital to see DAd and housework thrown in. With being away last weekend, I am already up to load no 5 of laundry this morning... oh such exciting lives we lead!

I,ve done all my laundry and housework tonight when I came home from work, so I,m ok with that.

I read about your dad, that's a shame he has had to have the hip re cleaned and is left with a big incision I hope this time it will finally clear up.

How is my buddy today ?

Hey Tracy, hope you are up the upswing from that nasty virus. A relaxing weekend sounds like just the thing to recuperate with.

In fact, that sounds like what we all have planned for the weekend. LOL

I am currently watching a flood out the front window. Looks like a neighbor across the street had their main line going into the house break, water uncontrollable going down sidewalk and street. I asked them if they knew where the main shut off to the house is, they didn't, I told them where it should be, they didn't remember seeing it. The mom must still be at work, the older boys are home. (as in their 20s older) They've called the city but it's been at least 1/2 an hour and no sign of them yet. Hopefully soon though, it's suppose to freeze tonight, that is going to be a bloody mess of an ice rink out there. No walking molly on the other side of the street and hopefully it won't cover the entire road or we're likely to end up with someones car in a yard!!

hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin

Yes Sharlene I,m finally feeling better, the virus wiped me out, never felt so weak in my life, haven,t eaten a proper meal in a week, feel like the dogs with an upset tummy feed little and often :D

That's not good, water flowing with ice coming, be careful not to walk in that direction, don,t want you or Molly hurting yourselves. :)
