Good News going to be a Gran

[cris1728]

Thought you could all do with a positive blog at this time as I know a lot of you are having problems withthe stress of the festive celebrations and the current bad weather conditions.

Found out my daughter is to have a baby next summer she has been reticent in making this news common knowledge as she had a miscarriage last June at 11 weeks, however she has now let everyone know the good news. she is due next June and has had scan and ha sante natal appt tomorrow. Seeing the babies heartbeat last week at the scan has been really positive.

Since I retired in March I have had a lot of stress with house refurbishment supporting her through the miscarriage, her wedding and frail and unwell parents and I am sure that this had an effect on my health.

I had 6 months sick last year with stress and to be honest I had been the victim of bullying for the preceeding year which I am sure contributed to me being ill. I also wonder if this may have contributed to my recent illness and ther are 2 other members of staff who have auto immune diseases who worked in the same area as myself. I was a manager in that area which had been drastically understaffed for 8 years and as environmental factors are thought to be linked to autoimmune diseases it makes me wonder if there is a link.

Now I have had a moan things are now looking up. I am now settled in my New Home since the work haas been done, my daughter is happily married and about to extend our family and my health has improved although that is only since I had steroid injection 6' weeks ago, I am hoping it lasts and that I will be well for when my grandchild arrives in the summer.

Hope you all have a good xmas and are relatively painfree

crisxx gentle hugs to you all

[cris1728 in reply to Hidden]

thans summer I know you have been through the mill with it too. Its awful how the NHS has changed. Didnt realise i had been bullied until I was ill and then realised on reflection.

Hope you and your mum and dad have a lovely xmas and that dad gets his op soon

Yes I was badly bullied in my second last job and I do blame them for being ill! I didn't realise it was bullying for such a long time but when I realised I left.

But onto good news , how brilliant is that going to be a grandmother. I would love it to happen but hope they are together for. While and get to know each other before they make that big decision ( and me and Katy would Love a big wedding! )

I love these new scans , they have 3 D here which is amazing, hope she keeps well, it's hard to lose babies, I did and had ivf extra and now have 3 !! Hugs Axx

[cris1728 in reply to allanah]

Hi allanah thanx for your good wishes, I too had a miscarriage but I already had my daughter it must be so much when it is your first pregnancy, I was not fortunate enough to have any more children after the miscarriage but feel I am blessed with such a wonderful daughter and her husband is perfect for her. I couldnt have chosen better myself. Its great to see them so happy and we had a wonderful wedding in august.

The bullying that now seems to go on in NHS seems to be increasing and when I was sick last year returned in Sept to another area as they had closed my ward whilst I was sick and then would have had to move wards again in March so decided to take early retirement and it was a really good decision.

Hope Katy meets the man of her dreams and you get your wish for the big wedding (with hat)

I hope you continue with your recovery from your recent surgery and have a happy and painfree xmas

gentle hugs

[allanah in reply to cris1728]

I agree with you, most of my friends still working are so stressed and being yelled at all the time by managers and patients, can't win, glad I got I'll health retirement , tho would still prefer not to be ill!! Lol

Yes won't that be lovely when engagements or weddings come along although my husbands wallet might not agree xx

Hi, congratulations on the news you are becoming a gran, my daughter had five miscarriages, before finally having 2 beautiful girls now 2 and 10. Months so I know how that feels to see your daughter go through the heartache.

So I now have 4 grandchildren my son has 2 boys 3 and 1 years old. It is an abousolute delight, I love every second with them, and the two oldest are very matter of fact, they ask when they want to play " are your legs ok Grandma can you do a jigsaw on the floor, or are we doing it on the table today!" Whatever I answer Is good enough for them. I love the cuddles and kisses and the special moments when they climb on your knee for no reason except to whisper "I love you grandma".

The feeling for grandchildren is definitely different to your own children, never understood when people told me that, but it is.

Congratulations again

Hope you stay pain free for a while

Gentle hugs

Gill
