What's Hot

I know this forum has needed a lot of luck recently, but I need some. 

My gran is currently in the icu, not sure if stroke and not sure on outcome 

Went to bed last night with the news she was getting better but confused , then was awoken at 4am to say she had been transferred to the icu and outlook was anyone's guess 

Home now for some food, then back to see her.   They have told me that she may be able to hear, so I'll be sure to pass on the good comments and thoughts. 

Most energetic 82yr old you would ever meet, this is so sudden.

    All the best to your gran. 

    Their generarion is made of tough stuff!

    I hope you have some good news soon. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    Just back now, not much progress 

    A lot of seizures though, which she has never had. About 9 in the last hour :(

    Really hope your gran pulls through. Mine were both gone many years ago. I'd love to see them again, neither saw any of my children or even my wife.

    All the best @joeyowen, hope your Gran improves. I believe that the hearing is the last thing to "go" so read her some poetry or an excerpt from her favourite book.

    Woo it's morning, and no news is good news! 

    Slept with my phone in my hand all night, massive cramp this morning heh

    Apparently she can still hear, so just trying to reassure her and talk about general goings on like we normally would

    sigh

    Still living at the ICU really.  Going home to sleep and eat.  Work laptop with me today, although the wifi isn't great, things need to get done.

    Gran isn't getting worse, but hasn't woken up yet :(  She is also having a lot of seizures bless her.

    I think they are taking her ventilator out very soon to see how she manages on her own, that is the next biggest hurdle that I'm scared of.

    I think I've come to terms with the fact that the Gran I know and love might not come back, but I'm just hoping whatever happens next is peaceful

    Good news, Gran is out of ICU
    Still very poorly on the elderly ward but able to speak a bit and managing some humour.  She told us all last night that she loves us all, and she really means.  Scared the crap out of me, I thought it was final

    Shit news, the partners Gran also had a stroke last night, and died this afternoon.

    If people would stop dying.  That would be absolutely fucking great right now.  I've had enough 

    We lost our friend a couple months back, my Gran was/is so close and now hers.  I'm struggling with it all, as you can imagine, her being 28 weeks pregnant is making this a massive challenge.

    Probs signing off here for a bit, maybe some light phone use.

    I just want to protect my lady, my Son and my unborn.  We all need each other.

    Love this place, it makes me smile.

    Well, I'm still half living at the hospital! Gran is her chatty self which is nice. Managing to walk with a frame. To be told she would never wake up about 4 weeks ago, the progress is amazing! 

    Currently sat alone having a coffee whilst she sleeps pondering life. 

    Just to keep up with the bad news, another friend died a few nights ago, he was hit by a car on Sat, and didn't make it this week. That'll be yet another funeral this year 

    Someone tell me, is this a bad year? Or does life do this to you when you are 26.

    Im starting to question everything in my life
    Sorry to be a downer

    Kinnell, Joey, it never rains but what it pours, eh?  Real sorry to hear about your buddy.

    Good to hear your Gran is on the mend though - looks like you're the medicine she needs, best of luck to you all.

    Good luck.
