2nd and 3rd September 2017 Boinger Bash And Fundraiser In Aid Of St Giles Hospice

[Mole trapper]

Funds sent for me and pyromaniac, sorry so late committing, but we really weren't sure we could make it.

[tinbum]

And I can't make it! I've been leaving it late for the same reason, but I lucked out.

It might make me brave November though.

Great news, folks.

Apart from Nick; this is a wind-up, right?

Hi folks. Thank you for your continuing kind messages and support.

Again, rather than replying individually to each message, I thought it better to post here.

The last two days haven't been so good.

On Tuesday afternoon she seemed to be sliding downhill, which we put down to exhaustion and not getting any proper rest with the nurses doing obs through Monday night and having to move her regularly as the epidural was making her legs go numb. Earlier in the day her Oncology consultant had been in and informed us that one of the earlier blood test results for cancer markers had come back. One high and one normal. And she was being quite guarded, not her usual super-positive self.

However, yesterday, her registrar came in. When quizzed, she told us that those two markers were from the tests done last week and thst the high marker simply confirmed that it was definitely the ovary, as per various scans, which is why we got the phone call on the way home on Friday to get the tumour removed on Monday. So, that made us feel a whole lot better. We're still waiting on further blood test results and results from studying the tumour. Some further news tomorrow, some after the weekend.

Fingers crossed, if these all go our way and nothing has spread etc., it might just entail some chemo to fully zap it and make sure.

They removed the epidural yesterday and she was in loads more pain. They reduced the IV fluids and increased the IV morphine. The only thing with this is thst she gradually went further down hill by early evening. Then she was sick numerous times. We kept telling the nurses, but they all seemed very laid back about it all and not that bothered. Since the op she's been on a surgical, as opposed to Oncology ward. We asked whether it might be the morphine not agreeing with her and also explained that she had not wanted to drink or eat anything yesterday. By about 9.30 last night we were getting more pee'd off with their attitude. I rang Oncology and explained our concerns. Within minutes the Nurse in Charge appeared, with a much more urgent demeanor. Plus an anaesthetist, who said we could switch from the morphine to a similar drug which may suit better. Fluids turned up, too. And Mrs Arsey Pants Nursey also suddenly seemed more efficient in her duties and attitude. When I left at about 11.00 last night, she was asleep and looking more comfortable.

Hopefully when I arrive today my little warrior will have improved again.

Losing track of time here a little. Is it 16 sleeps to go?

[NewPaul]

Bless her Tone, Frankie has been been through a lot in a very short time so I guess she is bound to be 'up and down' to say the least. Hopefully she is now over the worst and at the beginning of the road to recovery. Positive vibes continuing mate and make sure you look after your own well-being too during this time.




And yep - it's 16 sleeps to go.

[NewPaul]

Well, what a numpty I am to say the least and nope, it's not a wind up. I can't make the Bash.

I will be Ireland for my nieces wedding between 30 Aug and 5 Sept, I booked it a few months ago and never realised it clashed, I've even spoken to some of the lads here about me going to Ireland at the beginning of September and it still didn't dawn upon me until I looked in my calender half an hour ago!!! I can't believe it, I haven't missed one yet since my first one.


Mick - any chance of moving the venue to Newbridge, Co Kildare?

[flyingfish]

No Nick, no Paul, soon won't be anyone to take the pee out of

Seems like it's the same everywhere, we battled and battled with the health authority to get stuff done with wren. Gp's before hospital & the nurses in hospital Wer often of a "la,la, everything is fine" attitude. That's why it took 2months for them to send her to the pediatrician who promptly sent her to the oncology ward at Bristol royal infirmary with suspected leukemia! only just in time I reckon too...She didn't have leukemia as it turned out, but she had something else just as bad. Given another week & I reckon her story would have been very very different.
Keep battling tone & don't let your hunches go unheard, because at the end of the day it doesn't matter if they think your a C***, if it saves your daughters life the so what!!!
Hang in there Mr, can't wait to give you a hug

Is there a local shop where we can buy burgers and beer?

Hi Gary

I hope you don't mind me moving your question to here, but the answer may be useful to other newcomers.


Within a 1 mile radius of Quigley Hollow we have two farm shops.

Within a 2 mile radius we have a couple of village shops, five pubs and a Cantonese takeaway.

Within a 4 mile radius we have a Morrisons supermarket and an Aldi.


All these places except Aldi are very easy to get to with minimal traffic to contend with.

Myself or Shirl will be cooking burgers and hot dogs over the weekend on a gas BBQ in the poly tunnel and this facility will be available for others to cook there own food on if required.

I don't mind at all Mick,

On reflection it would have been better for me to place the question on here anyway.
Another question if I may; I believe there will be pcps being used at the venue also. Will there be any filling facilities for these?
See you all in a couple of weeks.

Regards,
Gary.
