So proud then..πŸ˜‰

β€’44 Replies

Such a cutie I was going to the beach with me Dad..😊

Wasn’t he looking big and strong..

So strange to be in the same hospital and see the same doctors! Small country..

Sunday was a quiet day, had a cup of tea and a chat with the nurses. They had a photo of him and I on their pin board! I was amazed! Looking much older than below πŸ˜ƒ and so we exchanged funny Dad stories..comforting to know we live on in people’s memories.

The infectiologist wants me to wait until I see the ENT tomorrow. He may want to take some samples so I can’t be on antibiotics. They want to check if I haven’t got an oedema? What in my nose? Thanks for cheering me up πŸ˜…

No, I think I’m fine, I just have the usual nose, throat and chest thing and I need my abs so I can get out of here!

I was right the ornithinolytica does come after a bird! So as we discussed etymology πŸ˜ƒ I was continuing with my embroidery..and so I shall today..freezing northern wind..

Have a good day xx

Hi Fran πŸ’•

What a lovely photo of a happy pair....both proud!

The memories came rolling back, I’m sure πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜€

Hope things settle down for you very soon, Fran. You literally seem to be stuck up a mountain at the mo πŸ”Climb down, my girl! Ha! It sounds as though all in hand if immunologist happy to leave you in the hands of the ENT folks. Good luck my friend 🌹

Just waking to a sea view in Treaddur Bay in Anglesey, Wales. Would send a pic but my phone has almost given up...no sound, no space for more photos. Once the iPhone X has settled into the market, I’ll get myself a new 8 or something. Could try my iPad I suppose....well, when I’m feeling more energetic πŸ’ͺπŸ€œπŸ™ƒ

Have a good day too πŸ§šπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ¦‹πŸ¦€

What a great photo Fran. It must make you think back to those times and yes your dad looks very strong and handsome too. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘§

Keep taking the antibiotics and get out of there. Good luck with ENT.

Carry on with the embroidery and stay warm. πŸŒπŸπŸ‚πŸŒΊ

Thinking of you. Take care xxx πŸ’•πŸ˜˜

Hi Carole

He was a good Dad yes thank you πŸ’•

I haven’t got the famous antibiotics, they stopped the others after 7 days, that was Friday evening so I didn’t take the full 10 days and I am waiting for the next appointment so they can make up their mind about the course of action.

So like Penelope devoting my life to tapestry..πŸ˜ƒ

Love,

Fran xxx

Buenas Dias Querida. What a beautiful Photo, Dad & Daughter. Was this in France ? somewhere Exotic I'm sure. I too look back at Old Photo's of my family, Inner Warm Healing Feeling. Sorry your not feeling too good at the moment Fran. You would think by now your Professionals would have the answer ? The last time I was at ENT, I was 14 having my tonsils out. Keep warm Carino. Besos. XXXX

Buenas Carolina 🌷

It looks like Nice, la Promenade des Anglais or Menton maybe..

Oh I let them sort it out among themselves, just going through the motions and smiling sweetly..

They may want to keep me longer if I don’t πŸ˜ƒ Doctors and a 🐝 in their bonnet! A whole beehive buzzing I think πŸ€”

Beautiful photo but somehow I always knew you were a pampered child.there is dad big.strong and handsome looking very much the Mediterranean heartthrob guiding his petite smiling daughter along the tree lined promenade yet he hasn't any shoes?he has spent all his wealth so that his cutie can enjoy a visit to the seaside.

Cheeky Ski's as ever. xxx

Hmmm Cheeky x 2 !!!

Bea said Dad looked like that actor in the Sopranos there!! Was that Tony Soprano?? I think she dared, oh yes, all that Italian Chianti I expect!

Lovely photo Fran I love to look up old photos they bring back happy days. Hopefully they will get it all sorted now Fran and you'll be on the road to recovery πŸ˜† It's nice you enjoy embroidery. I used to get a lot of pleasure it's nice to see the end results. Take care Majt πŸ’•

What a handsome man your Dad is. I never had a Dad . I sometimes wonder what it’s like .

β€’ in reply toGladwyn

Oh I am sorry Gladwyn..he was a good father to me, loving and supportive throughout my life.

I took care of him the last 4 years after his wife died. It was hard he fell to pieces emotionally and physically.

He died before Christmas.

I still find myself wondering what he would have said about this and that, when I am watching tv or talking with my brothers or my daughter. I could talk to him and he would give me good advice. I miss that. I am divorced so my parents have been supportive I must say.

Mum is 91 in November. She is fragile and I don’t want to burden her. But parenting is a strange skill, once you have taken on that decision and responsibility it will last throughout your lifetime.

You take care of yourself xx

What a lovely picture of you and your dad, what a handsome man.

Hope you get your antibiotics soon, they must see you need them. X x

β€’ in reply toShirleyj

Thank you Shirley ✨

He was a handsome Dad..😊

Well I saw the ENT who said I must only be treated by the LAM specialist and the others don’t know what they are talking about, it is very rare and specific, there are only a few such cases in Switzerland so they don’t have the background and the experience. It was interestingly frank.

So he personally thinks the opposite of the local lung specialist, it has all to do with LAM. My whole system is inflamed, it is a flare-up. So I told him I’m going to the LAM specialist on Nov 7th, he will write his report.

In the meantime Im seeing my GP on his return next Wednesday.

So we’ll see!

Have a nice evening Shirley xx

Hi Fran

Hope they're continuing to treat you well in hospital so you can get back home soon. It must be tiring doing all that embroidery. Loved the photo of you and your dad. It reminded me of one of myself and my lovely Italian mum walking along the prom at Viareggio. Think I was 9 at the time. Will have to see if I've still got it somewhere you are very lucky to still have your mum and your dad for so long . My mum sadly died when she was 61 in 1981.

Take good care of yourself.

I'm off to spend most of the day at the hospital where my husband has morning and afternoon appointments. See what that brings!

Best wishes

Corin
