Have To Dash.....

heat · 28 Jun 2003, 08:18

Hiya Peoples,

Well, it's been quite a stressfull night here - i was woken up at 4am by my sister who was in agony - she had phoned the doc and was told there was only ONE docor on call for the whole of east Lancashire, and he wouldn't be able to get to her for at least another 4 hours.

For those of you that don't know, my sister was very ill recently - she has a gallstone the size of an egg, and it's blocking the bile ducts in her gallbladder. The hospital wanted to take it out, but because it was so badly infected they felt that it was too risky as it could have caused the infection to spread to her vital organs.

They sent her home earlier this week, with antibiotics and painkillers, but she was still in a great deal of pain, and it's been getting worse over the past few days, and this morning she rang me crying hysterically, so i called her an ambulance and shes now back in hospital. Far as i know they are waiting for the surgeon to come see her.

On top of all this, my niece maxine, my sister's daughter is 30weeks pregnant. She's only 14, and she is really stressing over her mum.
So i've decided that the best place for me to be is up in lancashire with her. I can't do anything from down here in Swansea, so the best place for me is up at my sister's where i can keep an eye on Max, and go visit Susan.

So i ain't gonna be around for a good few days - to be honest i've no idea how long i'm going to be away. As long as it takes, i guess. My sister doesn't have internet access, and where she lives is only a very small village so they don't have a cyber cafe i can pop into. If i can get on line at some point, i will do, but don't hold your breath.

Hope to see you all soon - i'll miss ya,

Heat

Heat I was so sorry to hear of your troubles - I will say a prayer for all of you in our local church later - Think of these happenings as something that god wouldn't send you if he didn't think you had the tenacity to deal with - May your God bless all of you and keep you safe :)

You've always been there for me Heat and I'd like to add these words for you:-

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
An hour to appreciate them,
A day to love them,
But an entire life to forget them.

God Bless Love

Hope your sister will be owk, galstones can be a pain.....My dad had those kind of problems(galstones + infection) he got operated on finally while it was still infected because the doctors didn't dare wait longer....gave us a great big scare they did by saying it could be a tumor(cancer). But on the bright site, my dad is feeling great only 2 months after intensive surgery, no cancer thank goodness, and he's as fitt as ever.

So Heat, all the best with your sister, niece AND yourself. keep your spirits up.
