Mama...is Pop still hanging on? I am sending you love and hugs :l:h

FD - Definitely get a real diagnosis! I am still searching for a psychiatrist for Sierra, I don't think our GP is qualified to diagnose her as "schizophrenic". So....still looking...I have it narrowed down, finally.

Love you guys, I need to catch up. Mama - Give Pop an extra special hug from us

:hPop:h

GP is definitely not equipped to make that diagnosis. Good for you to look around!

Hiya guys! A shout-out to FD and Meshellrn and big congrats to Tree on buying her house. Welcome home Fen, and you too Nora! X

I just watched the Russian police singing Get Lucky. "Oh dear Gawd" is all I have to say. It's pretty gay all right Fen, and defo all the funnier for Putin's anti-gay views. Hehe...

And the waiting continues Mama... it's exhausting and distressing for all of you. I'm glad you went to work today... you needed a break from Nana's house. And thanks for calling with the smilies info... something new to play with... say thanks to Bri too.

They're trimming our trees and hedges... crew of 6 in my yard as we speak... I really need the chainsaws and blowers like a hole in the head. Let's see what they're gonna screw up THIS time... I'm scared to go out there. We replaced the dead oleanders with two topiaries yesterday and if they've trimmed them Mama is going to have to drive down here to bail me out of jail. I would NOT put it past them. I suppose I better go and check...

I am amazed he is hanging on this long Mama. I swear the previous generations were a lot stronger than us...seems each generation gets wimpier and wimpier.

I FINALLY got Sierra an appointment with a psychiatrist! We have to travel 40 miles but that's OK...it's not like it's a weekly appointment. This guy specializes in medication management and adolscents. It's 3 weeks away...but at least it's set!

I have got to see Get Lucky now...if I dare.

That's good news on the psychiatrist... he sounds like a good fit for what she needs. He may come up with something entirely new, you never know. Good luck with it when the time comes... X

That's good to know you'd bail me out Mama! :l

As it transpires, they haven't ruined anything... YET! They left their gear behind in my yard and bogged off somewhere, prolly for lunch, they just got back. Fingers and all other appendages crossed that they won't damage anything.

I had a call from Cheryl (she lives right next door to me)... ranting about her hedges having been mauled by them. Maybe it's someone else's turn this time! :thanks:

Goodness - I go for a short while without posting and have three pages to catch up on. Had to go for my 6 monthly cancer check up this morning and all is well - YEAH. My appt was at 6.30 AM !!!! (For blood), then 7.15 for my Oncologist! had to leave home at 5.45 !! I knew it was going to be fine, but I suppose there is just that tiny niggle in the back of ones mind ....

Jan - am amazed that Pops is still with you - but hey, he will do what he needs to do when he wants to do it - right ? I am glad that you are doing lots of cuddling and kissing with him .... no matter what the other family members say or do. I know that he appreciates it and is probably ticked at the others ....

K9 - did the first psych say that Sierra might be schizophrenic? That is a pretty strong DX to make .... glad that you have another appt with someone else.

Zen - glad that they haven't ruined anything yet ..... I am sure that you will keep an eye on them though ....

WHAT is this Russian Police ? I will have to Google it ..... the mind boggles ....

FD - I have no idea about bipolar - but maybe a visit to the doc might be in order .... I am a very 'fast' mover and once a stand-in doc asked me if I have ever been DX with ADD !! I was really cross - just because I move quickly and sometimes talk quickly doesn't mean I have ADD !! You need to get a proper DX before starting meds though ....

Tree - SO happy for you about the house - how lovely for you .....SO exciting !!

Nora - glad you are back and enjoyed your time with hubs - it must be SO hard to decide what to do - as you said, he cannot stay there indefinitely, especially as he has health issues of his own - a real conundrum !

Oh gosh - I need to get going - as I left so early this morning I didn't have time to do my usual e-mails and posts !

hugs to all,

love, Sun XX

Mama, I just saw the post about your father in law passing. I am so sorry. It seems like no matter how prepared you think you are to lose a loved one it is too soon and you are not ready to let go.
Please take some time for yourself. You have been under a tremendous amount of stress in the last few weeks and especially in the last couple of days.
Thinking of you.
