My Little Drummer Boys: Thankful update

Friday, 22 June 2012

Thankful update

Just a quick update, how can it be Friday already !
Though it has been one of the longest weeks ever.

I love that technology allows me to keep in touch with everyone while I am in hospital .

I know I don't feel so alone in the wee hours when sleep eludes me.
I did sleep better last night.

I am feeling less bravo today and I know that's ok. They told me there would be days like these.

I am missing my cherubs so much. I am looking forward to seeing them briefly today. They know I am in hospital but not so much of the details.

My five positive things

1. A hot cup of tea from the lovely night nurse this morning, the other tea with meals is terrible but the food is actually edible .

2. DM's / PM and Late evening phone calls of support, giving me much comfort. Visitors bearing chocolate

3.Tulips from a newly met twitter and boggy friend who works in the hospital. Thank you Lisa.

4. Blogging from hospital's free wireless Internet.

5.Today is a new day and I am thankful for that most of anything. Bring it on.

Totally fine to feel less bravo today, goodness knows you have been a pillar of strength so far. Fairy wishes and butterfly kisses lovely. I love the way technology keeps you in touch as well. Flash hospital as well with the whole free wifi thing, none of that where I live!

Feeling less bravo is probably very much needed Trish after the whirlwind ride you have been on. It is a new day and now you can breathe out. Thinking of you and so glad you can keep in contact and connected with everyone. Enjoy your visit with your boys today xx

How long will you be in hospital Trish? I've been thinking about you constantly. I hope the pain of surgery is easing, and the next stage of treatment can be started soon. Enjoy those cuddles from your babies today.

Love your positive attitude Trish, but you're right - you don't have to be strong all the time! When you're not feeling strong, your friends, family and God will be strong for you xxx

Glad to hear from you Trish. Lucky you have free wireless at the hospital. Must be so good for those times when your wake and bored and got nothing else to do. Hope you get to have cuddles from your little ones today.

Those tulips are lovely, free wireless internet at the hospital is even better! Keep your chin up Trish, keep focusing on the good things and take each day as it comes. x

Oh Trish, it's so nice to read your post. You are doing such an amazing job. Of course it's only natural to have both up and down days - all equally valid and normal.
Thinking of you a lot.
Hugs,
Ronnie xo

Still thinking of you Trish. Don't worry about the blah days! They will happen. I know you will maintain your positive outlook, which will do wonders for your healing and recovery.

Actually, Cathy's message earlier today was perfect. Nicely said.
