Hello everyoneJust popping up to show you another new cutie born at Chester Zoo. This one is a rare tree kangaroo joey emerging from his mother's pouch!. Another triumph of their breeding program and one of their keepers captured the amazing moment.
I do hope you like it, some more good news as things are still so tough!. Hope your all as well as possible.
MistyXx
P.s, still waiting for much needed appt's. For those of you waiting too , i hope your having better luck. TAKE CARE. Xx
Awwwwww…😍 cutie alert.
I LOVE joeys. They are soooooo adorable.
Thanks Misty for sharing.
Sending love and prayers. Sorry you and everyone else are waiting so long for appts.
EJ 🤗♥️🥰🙏🕊🌿🌸🦋
So beautiful thank you for sharing, we all need some joy and positivity. I am so very sorry that you still have not heard about your appointment. Have you rung to say you will accept a last minute cancellation? Xxx
Thank you cecily for your lovely messages. Really pleased you liked the pic and i so agree how we all need joy and positivity right now. I've phoned the hospital today and found out i've got a 6-12 month wait still for an appt. Ive only done 3 months!. Its horrific as pain no longer is a priority!. No cancellation lists as they just give any to the next person on the list!. I can try again to get myself on urgent list so on monday i shall see how willing my gp is!. He wasn't before. Ive had a very tough week for pain too!.
Hope you've been ok and Findlay is still entertaining you. Take care. Xx🤞🦋💕
I am so very sorry to hear this, pain should be a priority. I think sometimes we are too stoic when we deal with the medics so when you see or speak to the GP next week let it all out, let him see how badly it is affecting you. Please let me know how you get on. I shall be crossing fingers and toes for you lovely.
I am struggling myself and thankfully was seen immediately at my new surgery. Bloods, urine sample then a triple appointment with the lady GP. I am being referred to a Gynaecological Urologist. They suspect Vulvodynia and possible pelvic adhesions. It never stops does it? Look after yourself and yes Finlay is the light in my life, the joy in my days and the comfort at night. I love him so dearly, he is sat sucking my whole hand as I type this bless him. Such a beautiful nature xxx
Cecily, Sorry to hear you have more issues to deal with, but glad you are getting care. I absolutely love what you said about Finley. I know that without Pumpkin and Gigi iI don't know I could cope with everything. Our fur babies are such blessings.
Healing hugs.
Thank you so much. I am a bit miserable and fed up with myself at the moment. Now I have a UTI and anaemia to add. Thank goodness for our little fur antidepressants eh? I hope that you are as well as you can be? Xxx
I am very sorry Cecily to hear that you have more horrible problems but pleased your new gp surgery is giving you much better care!. Its sad we have to be suffering so much to get it but its proof changes can be for the better!. I hope you don't wait too long to see the GynaeUrologist and your urgent!. No, pain is no longer a priority in this new NHS. Pre-covid it was and i would have been seen by now!!.
I agree re stoicism is bad. My pain consultant thinks i 'm stoic.On Monday, I'm giving my gp one last chance to do something like write to the hospital on my behalf and if he won't then i'm changing gp's. Your experience is giving me heart that its the right thing to do as its not the first time he's refused!!.
Thanx for all your support cecily, really appreciate it and i'll let you know how monday goes.
Have a lovely weekend with Finlay. Xx
It really is not good enough. I had given up hope of getting help to be honest. Today I had a phone call saying I have got a particularly nasty UTI and anaemia. I am not surprised that I have them but surprised that someone cares enough to treat me. I am glad it gives you hope that things can indeed be better for People like us. Don’t take no for an answer. Let me know how you get on xxx
I am so sorry cecily your battling a horrid UTI and aneamia. There is always something that we have to battle with our health and its that , that can really get us down as we hardly get any breaks. I hope your starting to feel better, thank goodness your with a better surgery now that cares for its patients. You've had apalling care over the years!.
Ive spoken to my gp who was very sympathetic and after much thought he reckons i should write to my Pain Consultant as she put my drugs up in Dec. Asking about pain relief and seeing if she'd write to the gastro consultsnt to get me seen!!. Thats what i'll do!!.
Must just tell you late on fri i had a text from my gp surgery saying a new gp will start on 1st April covering my doctor's list as he's going part time. The amazing bit is he's got a special interest in gastroenterology!!. If only he was starting sooner?!. Ha!. Just so perfect!!.
We are looked after cecily , that just proves it!!.
I'm suddenly getting migraine's again after a long break so i do understand about the extras being hard to cope with!. I hope your anaemia gets treated and you see the consultant soon.
TAKE CARE and feel better soon. Xx🦘💕🦘🤞💕🦘💕🤞🦘💕🦘🙏
oh wow the new GP sounds just perfect for you but you cannot wait until April. I cannot understand why your GP won’t write too, The pain specialist is just another supporting voice. I hope she responds quickly to you.
Guess what I had a phone call from the hospital this afternoon. They have a cancellation so I go on Thursday to have the camera down my throat to look at my vocal chords. I am shocked as I was to,d there was an 18 month waiting tine. Who hoo things are looking up. You look after yourself lovely xxx
Good luck cecily for thursday and the camera test. 🤞, its helpful for diagnosing and treating your problems. Wonderful news that finally your getting the help you need so badly. Keep us posted. Ive written my letter and feel so relieved. My gp just won't do it himself for me but tells me what to do. Pain consultant is so supportive so i'm really hopeful she will do something to help. Will let you all know when i get a reply!.
I'll think of you on thursday, cecily, keeping my 🤞for you. Xx🙏💕🤞
Thank you so much Misty. My guess is that they will find nothing, it seems so often that is the case 😐. Regardless I have been complaining for years of a sore throat, hoarse voice and intermittent choking so I am pleased someone is going to have a look. We have a friend Finlay sitting as we have only left him for two hours max before. Well done you for writing your letter, send it recorded delivery. Please let me know if you hear anything lovely xxx
👍💕🤞🍀🙏💕Xx
Morning they have also had 2 tiger cubs born on 7th January.
Sending hugs.
that’s beautiful 🥰 I’ve never heard of a tree kangaroo! Off to do some research now. Hope those appoints come through soon. X
Hopefully this works.
Aww so cute Helen, I’ve not heard of tree kangaroos but how sweet is this little one 🥰 I wonder if they’re smaller 🤔.
Sorry it’s taking me ages to get back to you, I’ve been struggling with everything, this virus and chest infection has been horrid, it’s wiped me out, this week I’ve managed a bit more and had my urologist appointment on Tuesday which went well, I’ll fill you in very soon, promise. So of course more appointments have come from that appointment 😩, March’s calendar is filling up!
So sorry you’re still waiting 😞 I’m hoping you’re getting some respite days from your awful pains🙏🤞
Take care lovely , thinking if you and thanks for sharing this cutie pic 🥰😘💕 💐🌸xxx
Thank you dianne for your lovely messages. I will be in touch as soon as i can , having such a tough time with PAIN. Hope you have a better week this week. Big hugs and lots of loveXx, 🦘💕🤞🦋💕🌺🤞🍀💕Xx
🥰💕💐😘xxx
Hi misty , such a cute creature, I would love to see one in the wild 🥰
Sorry you are still suffering so much, you must be exhausted, chronic pain wears you down 🙁
Sending you lots of virtual gentle hugs🤗🤗🤗🤗, i hope you can get a cancellation or maybe your gp could push it on for you . Take care and keep positive xxxxxx
Thank you weathervane for your lovely mesdage and good wishes. Glad you liked the pic. Yes, i am exhausted and hardly doing anything except 🛌 because of the pain!. Its no life and yesterday i found out ive got to wait another 6-12 months for an appt and there are no cancellation opportunities!!. Its horrific!!.
So, on monday i'm speaking to my gp and if he doesnt want to do anything i shall change gp's as he's not been willing to write on my behalf etc!.
I hope you hear from oncology soon and your coping with your pain.
Have a lovely weekend. Xx🤞💕🤞🦋
Take care , hope you have a lovely weekend xxx🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗🦔🦔🦘🦘
Thanx so much weathervane. My weekend was made last night because i got a text letter from my gp surgery to say a new gp was starting in April as my usual gp is going part time and new one will share the list. What is so brill is the new one's special interest is gastroenterology!!. It just couldnt be better for me and has given me such a lift!. Life is funny isnt it?. We are looked after if we can just have faith but sometimes that's so hard!!.
Have a lovely weekend too. Xx🦘💕
Thats amazing news !!!!! Its a pity you can book an appointment now and be first in the queue!
Relax and enjoy your weekend, 🤞🏻 the new gp will be your answer 🙏🏼 🙏🏼xxxxx🥰🥰🤗
I've spoken to my usual gp and he was very sympathetic. He recommends i write to my Pain Consultant about more pain relief and she might contact the upper gastro as they work together. She has always wanted to help so it might just work!. Hope you have a good week weathervane. Take care, spring is coming. Xx🦘💕🦘🤞🦘💕🦘🤞
Hop that works for you misty 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😘xxx
Thanx weathervane, will keep you all posted. Xx🤞💕🤞🙏💕🤞💕🤞
How adorable is that, thanks for sharing x
Aww, what a lovely heart-warming picture of the joey popping his head out to say hello to the world.😍 It has really lifted my spirits.🥰 Thank you Misty. I hope it isn’t long now until you have words of your long-awaited appts. 🤞Take care. Hugs 🤗xx
So glad you liked it spotty. I do hope your feeling better as you've had such a rotten time. Thanx for your lovely wishes . Yesterday i found out ive got another 6-12 months to wait for an appt!!. I ts horrendous!!. So, on monday i speak to my gp and if he's not willing to do anything to try to help then i'm changing gp's as it won't be the first time. Last chance!!.
I can't wait that length of time with this PAIN!!. Am having such a bad week with it, codiene isnt helping now !!.
Do hope you have a relaxing weekend. TAKE CARE. Xx🤞💕🤞🦋💕🤞💕🌺
I’m feeling a little better thanks Misty and hopefully the Prednisolone will stop the flare soon, but my arthritic shoulder remains VERY painful. I had my liver function tested yesterday so hope the news on Monday is that it has returned to normal at last.🙏🏻 But that is terrible that you are expected to wait from. 6 - 12 months for an appt when you are in so much pain.😫 I admire your determination to get the help you so deserve even if it means changing GP. I hope that won’t be necessary and that your GP will help to expedite an appt. Codeine didn’t work for me either so I hope these Lidocaine patches work soon.🤞 I’m hoping and praying you get some pain relief very soon one way or another Misty. Please take care and keep us posted how you get on.
Hoping you manage to have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend too Misty.🙏🏻 💕🤗😘🌷🌷🌷xxx
Thank you spotty for your lovely mesdage znd good wishes. I hope you get good news on Mon about your liver results. Do let me know. I'm glad your feeling better but ever so sorry about your PAINFUL shoulder still. Its so miserable having such pain. The lidocaine patches should be helping by now if they're going to. They also work best for nerve pain which might explain no relief!. Maybe you do need an Orthapod Referral?.
I must tell you what happened last night as its so wierd and spooky but shows we're looked after!!. I had a text letter from my gp surgery to say a new gp would be starting in April covering the list of my usual gp whose going part time!!. The amazing bit is he's got a special interest in gastroenterology!!. Just so perfect for me , its given me such a lift spotty!. A new gp without doing anything!!. Wish he was starting sooner!. Ha!.
If on mon my gp won't do anything i will write to my Pain Consultsnt asking her for advice. I just can't wait in this level of pain and im getting migraines back after years of nothing. Probably the stress but its making daily life even harder!!.
I do hope we bring each other luck on mon. Take care and im keeping 🤞for you. Xx🦘💕🦘🙏🦘💕🦘🤞
That is fantastic news Misty!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 It is still a bit of a wait until April to see this new with a special interest in gastroenterology but nothing like 6 - 12 months! I’m SO pleased for you but hope your GP will help on Monday anyway.🤞 Migraines are the pits! I hope you feel better soon and I hope we do bring each other luck on Monday. I’ll definitely be thinking of you and hoping all goes well.
Thank you too for your kind wishes Misty, especially while suffering so much yourself. 😫 Dr Nick said the Lidocaine patches can take a week to really kick in so I haven’t given up yet as I’ve only used them 4 days now, but I did think there was a slight improvement today allowing me to mop the floor without too much pain as long as I was careful how I pushed the mop with the sore arm. 🪣🧹 I think an orthopaedic referral would be best, but I’ll see what he says on Monday. 🤞
Take care Misty and I pray you are feeling much better soon. 🙏🏻🤗🤞😘💕xxxx
Absolutely precious! In spite of all you are going through, you take time to brighten our days! Hope you get some help soon. My dad always said the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so keep squeaking.
Healing hugs.
Thank you lovely Pumpkin for your great mesdage. So lovely you liked the pic. We're all going thru similar , tough things and waiting long times for appt's so its lovely just to ease it a tiny bit and its a wonderful distraction for me as well.
How are you and i hope you see your neuro soon?.
I knew the squeaky wheel expression too and will be squeaking a lot on Monday when i ask for more help from my gp. Thats given me a lovely 🙂thank you Pumpkin and for all your support.
Have a lovely weekend and TAKE CARE. Lots of healing hugs to you. Xx
hi Misty I just love kangaroos - Chester zoo is on my list of things to do this year- how are you doing Misty? Xx
Thats lovely svfarmer. I hope you make it to Chester Zoo. They've just had tiger cubs arrive as part of their breeding program. You might see a video on their website or if your on facebook!. I'm in a lot of pain still thanx for asking. Ive spoken to my gp today who recommends i write to my Pain Consultant about more relief and she might write to the upper gastros on my behalf. Ive got a 6-12 month wait still for an appt!.
Do hope Bea and Mira are looking after you well. Have a good week, spring is coming!. Xx🦘💕🦘🤞🦘💕🦘🤞🦘💕
