Hi everyone, it's been quite a while since I was here last, health got in the way of everything. A bit better now, just taking it easy. I'll try to come back whenever I can, but sending you all big hugs in the meantime + hoping you're all ok… xxx

    Yes it's been far too long, really sorry not being here more often Holly, the problem is the tremor seems to get worse after bending over a screen for a while, so I've really had to cut down being online, which is really frustrating <squark!> Baby steps at the moment, things are improving slowly but it comes + goes, and doesn't help got to wait another 6 months before someone qualified can even get to see me, so don't even know quite what is wrong, just that it can get pretty bad…

    But hey, summer's here + hopefully will keep improving. Hope you're doing ok too Holly? All you kind Scopies, got to say it's been great knowing you're there in the background, gives us something to hold onto through the bad moments : )))

    Best stop now, but will be back <coo, coo> xx

    Bless you, that's completely understandable. You have to look after yourself first and I'm pleased you're feeling a bit better. 😊 I've definitely missed your coo's and flapping feathers lol. I'm ok thank you. The sunshine definitely helps me feel good! 🤗

    Hope to see you again soon! Take care.

    Aww, nuffin' better than a good ol flap while having a good coo!

    Thanks Holly : ))) Sorry been so long away again, it comes + goes, but discovered walking, or rather, strutting with attitude ; ), is the best way to recover. Take care of yourself too xx

    Thanks Santosha + logs of hugs to you too, how have you been doing? Glad you've been back, hadn't seen you for a while… I'll try + be back as often as I can, it's a real pain, you get absorbed on the computer + then the health plays up… Hoping it's been after-effects of treatment they gave me last summer, not as bad now as in the autumn, but there're still bad times, won't know for sure until seen specialist next autumn…

    Let us know how you're doing now, will be back soon xx

    Thanks for your reply @FeistyPigeon. I always get 'this' and 'next' [when you said autumn] mixed up 🙄, I hope it's this year you're able to see your specialist though and especially as things were worse for you in autumn last year.

    I had double pnuemonia Dec to end of Feb and it just all felt worse being in the winter months. I hope you have more better days than bad; I often pray I just stay stable even though most days are difficult healthwise and that I don't get worse as just hate ending up in hospital.

    I realised it's 3.5yrs since I'd asked for a referral to colorectal surgeon. Had my appt two/three weeks ago and, to cut a long story short, I've been left too long and the deterioration with 5 diagnoses now has resulted in him not being able to treat me surgically at all. So I've been trying to get my head around that and what it means.

    But I'm getting there with it I think. I can't bear to listen to talks about possible resident doctor's strikes as it was partly those that caused my delays being seen.

    Please do take very good care of yourself, it's lovely to see you back on here even if it has to be 'fleeting' for now. Thinking of you, including when you're not on here (you're not forgotten basically!) and sending hugs and my very warmest wishes to you ❤️ 💜 xx
