Correct Ennik.
I know some older generation refuse all the tests/dialysis/transfusions..... Im so glad my nan didnt. I dont think she really knows half of wahts going on. Dont get me wrong, she knows more about politics/royals etc than I ever would but she has never been faced with medical probs, only high BP. She took ages in supermarket with me pulling my hair out looking for cholesterol reducing foods, arhhhh! :)
She still thinks she has a kidney problem, maybe infection. I fact she has stage 5 failure, cause ? we dont know yet.
Can I just say a huge thank you to all that read and comment on my thread. Its a great relief to write it all down. Plus Thank you to AL.
Oh,  every time Im stressed I crash my car. BUMP straight into gate post when feeding horses in the dark. My poor car, had her 3 months and she is on her 3rd surgery (2 times not my fault, idiots in car parks bumping her). Its the car Ive wanted since the snow last year, so we pushed the boat out and bought one. Audi a6 allroad 3l turbo quatro, pimped with black windows and mega wheels and xenons. Love it! Looks like I better stick to my old VW dog transporting van til my brain gets fixed :)

Actually the Audi might be ideal for the thick mud of your field - my A4 automatic 3 litre quattro pulled my pony and trailer out of a showground no problem, while people in shoguns etc. were having to be assisted by a tractor - and absolutely superb in the snow
Justine, sincerely hope that they find the cause of your poor little Nan's problems and treat her accordingly, huge hugs and stay strong. |

No Freaking way :(
My step mother is a sister on urology at the hospital my nan is at. I tracked her and called her to see if she could find more info on nan.
Now I find my dad is very ill!!! she said I should see him very soon (my mum and dad divorced when I was 4, I was brought up by my nan)
OUCH |

REMARKABLE!!!!!
Nan is being an old bag :) she is telling us off, asked me to take her clothes, not her clothes but NEW CLOTHES! she wants to look nice :) Bought half of M&S, BET I`ll get told off for choice and colours.
Means she is on the mend :) Dr s are pleased. She knows the score and tells us how she felt so ill she had know interest in life and knew she was passing very soon. She was not shocked when the Dr said she only had a few more hours and her grandaughter saved her.
Im so happy, I know its not over but I had know idea a stage 5 kidney failure could come back to life so quick and if at all.
So, off to Hospital now to get done or praised for clothes ha ha, oh and she`s even asked to see if Ive paid her bills, checked post, kept bungalow warm ...... of course nan!!!!
I remain optomistic this is a happy ending and its sooooo helped talking to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

| My dearly loved godmother once described herself as 'a tough old bird' when I was worried about her and your nan is obviously another! |

Goodness me only just seen this thread, been off line for a while.
Justine you are clearly going through the mill but your latest updates seem very positive, I'm so glad your nan has perked up.
Thinking of you, your nan & your dad
Lots of hugs x x x x |

Justine, only just read your thread and am so sorry to hear about your dear Nan's problems, although it sounds as if she is recovering and a remarkable woman. She is very, very lucky to have you around when so many of our OAP'S have no-one to care about them.It's very hard for you to witness her deterioration, but an honour to help her through it. You are lucky to have her in your life, which I'm sure you don't need reminding, even when she's being difficult!
Can I just say please get in touch with your Dad. I found out my Dad had passed over on the day of my mastectomy and I hadn't spoken to him for over twenty years, how I regret not making the attempt, at least, to contact him again. If it goes badly at least you will have the knowledge in your heart that you tried. Life is short. One word or hug can make all the difference. I hope Nan continues to improve. Love and blessings xxxxx |
