Re: March Army 2022

Morning,
Isolation is 5 full days over here and have two negative tests over two days before you get freedom.
[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]...:hug:.....you must be beside yourself with worry doesn't matter how old they are. Got to say they were quick with their reply.
Just a thought get one of your Germans to go round to the house.

Its 30 years today since our Jenny had a hole in her heart repaired. Didn't find it when she was born but picked it up when she had her pre-school physical examination so she'd be 5. She was in ICU for 24 hours and home in a week. My SIL used to sneak in meals for us as I wouldn't have given a pig the hospital food.

Isolation 7-10 days here. I was still positive today :egad:
@JackieClaire MrS is so eaten up with guilt he has gone up to the house.
Just rang to say house back to - littered with wine bottles , half empty takeaway cartons & red wine stains all over the bed. FFS !
No sign of YS
Possibly back in A&E or behind bars - we'll never know. He'll lie either way.
I'm so sick & tired of it all ............ I looking into meeting of AlAnon locally for us because I have MWO, but MrS needs to know how to deal with this.

JC you're a great one for dates ......

I can hardly remember family birthdays!

He'd probably just dropped out to get supplies Benjy -- don't be presuming the worst.....it doesn't take long for an addict to revert to former behaviour does it!? Who knows --- maybe he's taken a hold of himself and contacted the centre himself?... what a bloody mess.... if your daughter wants to sort it out when she comes home... maybe leave her at it? It sounds like too much for you and MrS --- the strain of that must be enormous

Re: March Army 2022

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]..............he'd probably gone out to get more supplies. Good idea about Mr S go to al-anon bet you he'll find someone worse than YS but he will be with people who have been there ,lived with it and come out the other side.

It was Mr JC reminded me although I knew it was around Mothers Day. Luckily it was repaired with her own tissue made it a lot easier for the surgeon and she's able to lead a completely normal life now. She was only in ICU for a day, back on the ward the next day and then put in our own room...................... third day I found her at the top of the slide in the toy room. I slept in a camp bed next to her in her room and knew she was ready for home when she asked for some grapes and would I peel them. It was 3am................. I'd better not put my reply as I'd prolly get banned.
She's still got a little scar on her chest and doesn't bother her a bit.

Didn't realise the time.................nighty night, mind the bugs don't bite.

:haha:
And you are still peeling grapes for her I'd say JC ?
( in our family - if someone is being a diva - looking for stuff - the saying is "peel me a grape" :haha: )

Trying to be cheerful Molls - and pretending I'm not worried. I never tend to worry unless I have proof of something. Put his phone is still inactive.
MrS has to be bloody cheered up too - FFS!

He calls me a hard creature ...... but no point in everyone losing the plot till we know for sure.

I'm hoping he's signed himself in to detox place again.

Any hoo thanks for listening ladies & nighty night :hug:
Bet yiz can't wait for episode #98

Re: March Army 2022

I want to fast forward to the happy ending please [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]
On the positive covid test, your man from the hse told me to get the kids back to school on day 7. Tests could be positive for ages but as long as they have no symptoms, they are not contagious. This variant does its worse at the beginning apparently.

Are the germans staying with you?

I bet you remember that hospital stay like it was yesterday [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION]..

Rustop, have a lovely few days. Are you staying in the city or beyond?

‘Peeling a grape’ will be my latest phrase now, bring on the morning lunches.

Re: March Army 2022

Morning all
Day 7 in the Satz House is tomorrow.
My symptoms are all but gone.

YS still on the missing list. No contact or texts read in 24 hours.
Next stop the Community Garda to see if he has been on their radar - they have a way of sniffing out people.

I still haven't told the Germans. Ms Germany is a professional worrier & I've enough on my plate for the present without huge drama. And her trip home will be ruined
They fly in today - but staying in Dublin.
They will come here tomorrow & we'll sit socially distanced in the garden.

Suggestions on the best time to break it to them on a postcard please .......

[mollyka]

Re: March Army 2022

Oh fuck...no good time for that...my instinct would be to let her know before she gets to you so she's digested the worst of the drama...be sure and let her know how upset you both are so she doesn't start some sort of blame game.. 'did you do this ..that..or d'other '?
You know her best...just draw a line on hysteria..not being funny here but you and MrS aren't getting any younger and she should help the situation not add to the drama

As regards the whereabouts of YS -- good idea to say it to the community Garda ---- they are a different type of guard -- they are very helpful and approachable I find ..... the one time that I 'ran away' -- omg I needed to run away from my phone and all contact with everyone that I presumed HATED me --- I remember that feeling so well -- eventually I just calmed down I s'pose and made contact with them -- hopefully at worst that's what he's doing -- has he any pals that he could have gone to or had he any money do you know?
Maybe contact whoever it was you mentioned - Eoin? and see did he make contact down there -- to me it would have felt like the safest place!
Thinking of you xxx

Re: March Army 2022

Morning,
Tend to agree with Molls...............let her know now,Mr German can get an ear full before she gets to you and calmed down. You've done all you can..............the Garda is your next step. If there's left over take out packages you know he's eating.........a tiny bit of hope there.

:haha:
And you are still peeling grapes for her I'd say JC ?

Love it. :harhar:

I didn't peel it then I'll be blowed if I start now.

Afternoon all

Just a quick post before hitting the road. Lots of good advice there Satz. You both need to look after yourselves. Good luck with the Germans tomorrow.

My SIL tested positive this morning so there goes some of the weekend plans. Just waiting for daughter to test positive over weekend. Glad I’m away.

On a more positive note our cottage has gone through. Solicitor rang this morning. Here in the bank trying to transfer the money. It’s been a long six months!!

Well done Rusters -- it's finally all yours -- well worth waiting for I'll bet.... ironically we were in signing our names to the transfer of the house today -- dunno how it all managed to go through and happen without our signatures but it's done now.

I finally sent a reply to my sister yesterday evening -- got an email back first thing this morning saying she'd love to meet... and then -- a bit of a shocker -- her only daughter (same family as mine --3 boys 1 girl) -- aged 45 died in January from cancer.... herself and D were extremely close so have to say my heart went out to her -- so we've been talking since and I'm meeting up with her on Wednesday -- we'll see how it goes but it definitely put things in context....

How's things in the Satz household? Any word from YS?

Howdy all else... feet up now for the evening -- town is exhausting - ages since I've had a day like that and I have to work tomorrow --- yucks!!!

Good morning everyone

Oh Molly that is so sad and it does indeed put things in context. Think it is one of the cruelest things to lose a child. Figured it was a major life event that made her want to contact you but never thought of that one. Am sure you were filled with memories too of when your niece was a little girl. The night I heard my cousin had died I started remembering the weirdest things, like going to see him when he was born, knitting a matinee coat for him etc. Things I had not thought of in years.

Any word from young YS? I am hoping he made contact with someone from the treatment centre. Good luck with the Germans.

We are here in Oughterard Mary. Beautiful old hotel sitting on Lough Corrib. Only about 8 rooms and felt like a young one last night as all the other guests seemed to be over 80! Think another beautiful day promised so off hiking.

Oughterard is gorgeous Rusters....have a smashing time..weather to stay nice for weekend anyways.

Yes...she was a pretty wee thing..she was actually at my wedding! That would be unimaginable alright..losing a child...I do feel for her and providing D doesn't come out spitting feathers I'll definitely be there for her.

Work today...I am unbelievably tired...all the family descended last night ..kids and all and after a long day in town I'm f#$ked!!!
