Yet snother kick inthe preverbials.

MissProd · Yet snother kick inthe preverbials.

A while ago i wrote and told you about Seymour and his troubles. Well, a few weeks ago we both picked up what we assumed was a chest infection. For me it was. But when Seymour, who suffered with it much more than i did, went to the Doctors, he told him he had C.O.P.D. (Cronic Obstructive Pulmanary Descease). He took the news in his usual matter of fact way. He's still life and soul of the party. I really don't know how he does it. For him it's 'oh well, life goes on'. Me, i'm worried because my mother died last year and she had C.O.P.D.

On a lighter note, if there is one, my daughter who lives up in Lincs and has been for the last 7 yrs since marrying a complete neandethol, is moving back to Kent.We have 3 grandchildren, twins of 4 and a 5 month old. that we've only seen them on occasions due to the distance. She's leaving the neandethol behind. We're counting the days when she moves back here on the 15th Dec and their back in our lives again. That will be the best xmas present ever. I should point out that 5 month old Thomas has a different father and not the Northern Hillbillies. Unfortunately the other guy, who a lovely guy, is off to Australia next year. Hopefully all this excitement with the grandchildren coming to live round the corner, will cheer us up. My son who lives not far from us, and daughter-in-law gave us another grandchild, 6 month old James. We don't see them very often as they are both Police Officers.

Let's hope things settle down where Seymour is concerned. He may be life and soul but the cracks are beginning to show.

That really is an unfair blow for Seymour to be diagnosed with yet another condition! You really must feel like God's against you

But as always it seems Seymour will take this in his stride, and for that fact so must you. He truly sounds like a fighter, thats so commendable, and his wicked sense of humour will always shine through. It's hard not to worry especially after you've seen your mum with the same illness. But each person is different, and you really have to stop worrying about the future tomorrows and concentrate on making the 'todays' the best they can be (((((((MissP + Seymour)))))))))

Great news that your daughter will be moving closer, theres no more joy than that of having family and young ones close, especially at times like this. I bet you're going to have a fab christmas!!! Keep thinking positive, love and best wishes coming your way xxxxxxxx

Hi MissP. Sorry to hear about Seymour, Hopefully with all your family back together you can start to smile again (((((MissP & Seymour)))))xx

Sorry to hear you've been poorly and Seymour best wishes to you both , Ithink its just the tonic you need to lift your spirits that your daughter is moving closer to home with the little ones , look forwrd to a happy xmas and brighter new year for all

Seymour

My little flower of the south has been at it again. She neglected to mention that i've now give up smoking. Something else i must add to the list. She was right about one thing though, the cracks are beginning to show a little. Even with my cavalere outlook on life, there comes a breaking point. My outlook on life still hasn't changed. It doesn't worry me. I sometimes wonder where i got it from. My mother hates being ill, my father was always at deaths door even if he stubbed his toe. My brother is worse than my father used to be. So it beats me where this 'couldn't give a monkies attitude came from. To quote my favorite comedien:

"am i bovvered?"
"look at this face, is it bovvered?"
"I ain't bovvered. Parkinson's, Lymphodema, Osteo arthritis, trapped nerve, COPD, I AIN'T BOVVERED".

That's me all over.

northern lass

you sound really sad and deflated seymour (wish i knew your real name) you are absolutely right , there comes a time when putting a brave face on just doesnt cut it anymore. actually by letting your guard down, your family will be able to help you more...you have got to let them in on your feelings. you may worry that by doing so THEY will worry more...i dont think this is the case, they will know exactly what they are dealing with and it will absolutely bring you closer together.

as for the 'i dont give a crap' attitude, i dont believe it for a minute.

take care, look after yourself and stick two fingers up to your illness...in fact, i think i'll join you!

Hello Miss P and Seymour

I dont know what to say. ( thats a first)
everyone has said it all. I'm not religiouse, so i wont say i will pray for you. But I will just keep verything crossed for you. LOVE TO YOU BOTH

Seymour

well i'm back off to the quacks this mornin, to see if he can give me something to loosen me chest, it's tight as a drum. He told me not to go out i the cold air but won't come and visit me cos i'm able to get to him. Is it me or did he just say don't go out. I don't understand doctors. I'll let you know how i get on.

pompeylil

BLOODY HELL Seymour!!! Sounds like your Doc's a right QUACK.
Hope all goes well

Serenity

Good luck

Docs make me laugh lol

northern lass

hi MICHAEL!! great to know your name. hope all has gone well for you.
isnt it ridiculous, you cant get a doctor to give a home visit to someone like yourself who really needs it? NHS? its a joke.

Thumper

Well said Jo!

Hope you're feeling a bit better soon Michael

Serenity

Oh I missed that post lol, its Michael is so much better than Seymour! LoL

Gl with the giving up smoking! hows it going? red has given up too, and me last year

Don't be too harsh on yourself if you relapse, but you really have to stop for your health, so least you have a good reason to go for it!

MissProd

I posted this in our forum but thought i might post it here as well.

The trouble with Mick is, this COPD he's got has knocked him for six this time and I'm really worried about him. His personality has taken a tumble. He seems to think deep down that noone cares about him. He's still life and soul but that's what he's thinking deep down. It scares me cos i'm wondering what else is gonna go wrong. I don't know what i'd do without him he's my rock, and without a foundation the building crumbles.

My names Jackie btw.

pompeylil

HELLO JACKIE AND MICK.
I can only say i my hart goes out to you both. Jackie you will hve to be strong for both of you... LOVE makes you strong. Believe me i know

MissProd

Thanx Pompeylil. In fact you've all been so very kind it's hard not to shed a tear. I know there's one other thing that's bugging Mick and it's quite spooky. It gave me the colly-wobbles when i heard it.

Mick's Grandmother on his father's side, died before Mick was born so he ever knew her, but, and this is the spooky bit, She died at the age of 52 at 4.00pm on june 15th. His father was 18 at the time and was the youngest of 2 boys, his brother being 6 years older than him.

Mick's dad, died at the age of 52 at 4.00pm on june 15th. Mick is the youngest of 2 boys, his brother being 6 years older.......................Mick was 18 at the time.

And i case your wondering, Mick is 49 at the moment, he has 3 children by a previous marriage, twin boys now 18 and a daughter who's 16. When Mick is 52 his daughter will be 18.

Now that brings a chill to my spine just thinking about it.

Serenity

I'd have to look at that from the other side, although the first two are eeiry coincidences, I would say Mick has broken the chain. Because when he is 52 it will be his daughter who is 18....it should be when his SON is 18 to follow on with the coincidence, so you've foiled any masterplan of the gods with that one

lol

**My fave saying is, always look on the bright side of life! ba doomp ba doomp badoomp badoomp

HI Miss P
I had a friend who years ago became a little obssessed with this age thing as well because of similarties with dates etc father, uncles. The age he had in his mind was the age of 49 and the more that age came closer the more subdued he became and no-one could tell him anything different. - however this came and went without mishap and he is still going strong. I know he didn't feel comfortable till he had passed 49 and nothing happened but it does just go to show that the mind can dwell on things, when people are a low ebb that never comes to pass. Similarities and coincidences do occur but that doesn't mean to say that things will happen. know at times like these that albeit it is easier to talk than do you both have to look at things from a positive outlook. Our friend Tom looks back on his episode and wonders why he allowed himself to think like this

Love to you both

MissProd

I see where your all coming from. One can get too obsessed with death and coicedences. But doesn't it make you think. I think it's more a case of cause and effect and probably chance as well. There's an old saying:
"If you take an infinite number of monkey's and a infinite number of type-writers than evetually they'll type the entire works of shakespear".
Having said that there must other coincedental deaths regarding age and dates etc! I'll investigate further. I know Mick's brother, although it was pointed out to him that he was the first son not the second so it shouldn't of effected him, was absolutely paranoid about reaching the age of 52. He's now 55. Mick's trying hard not to let it get to him but he says it's hard not to, and i can see why. I defy anyone not to think, if they were in his shoes, holy crap.

Serenity

Hows the non smoking going?

MissProd

Hi folks P here. Seymour's off for a day or so cos another blow hit him again. And no it wasn't me. He went to the surgery the other day to have his lungs tested by machine only to be told by the machine that his lungs were fine ............... for a 74 year old. I don't know how many knocks he can take before bouncing back again.

Serenity

Well with the COPD, plus being a smoker, that's to be expected

.. But if like you say the COPD can be treated, PLUS him giving up smoking, think ahead to the results after he has the condition under control, and after he's given up smoking for a few months!! Things can only get better, cant they

xxxxxxxx

MissProd

I really hope so fo all our sakes.
