I just wanted to pop in and say hello and let you all know I have been missing you , I have been busy with Mam and dad , as most of you know they both are 90 and have Alzheimer's I look after them both in their own home , They are a very special couple and I adore both of them , I just don't have much time now for the internet , I look after another 2 of my family who are disabled too ,
I wanted you all to know too that I have managed to do something really good for myself too , something that I have 100% control of ( the only thing in my life at the moment that I can control) I have lost 3 stones ..42 lbs :) and I feel so good within myself , I have gone down almost 4 dress sizes and feel fab .
I hope you are all well and I miss you , I want to thank you for your replies in advance
Love to you all
Wee xx

It's great to hear from you again, wee.
I really don't know where you get all this energy from. You're truly admirable. With all you've got to do you've probably got hardly any time left for yourself.
I remember you mentioned a while ago that you really wanted to loose weight. Well, you've certainly lost a lot!
Congrats! I can imagine how good you feel about it.
Keep up this great spirit of yours!

So nice to hear from you and really happy to hear that things are going good for you and your family. That is wonderful about the weight loss, wish I could loose some myself. I know you do have your hands full with caring for those you love and I also know you would not have it any other way.

Your life is hectic. Just as long as you are not mad at us, it is okay if you take some time off.
I am so impressed that you have lost so much weight. Good job. I am sure it is helpful for your health and well being. I just am surprised, with everything else, that you are able to be consistent and do this.
So good for you.

It must be terrible for you, with both of them having Alzheimer's, at some time in the future there may be a cure for it, but will probably come too late for you and your family.
There has been several letters in the newpapers recently from family members about relatives with Alzheimer's being able to converse better when receiving oxygen, (usually given for an unreleated condition). I don't know a great deal about this, although I don't think this has been on an approved list of treatments.

Dear Wee. I have missed you very much you know....mummymo has been MIA as well ...
I hope that this means your Mam and Da are fine...my own Dad is becoming frail and lacks energy...he is 95 and has had a very industrious life.
As for your weight loss....you are to be heartily congratulated...how on earth did you do it? I have put on that amount in the last few months
.
Hugs to you dear friend and please tell Ross and your hubby "HI" from your friend MsTickle..

Hello Margaret - it's so nice to see you here again! I've missed you.
I know how busy you must be looking after your parents and your family - you can't get much time to yourself with all you have to do. Your parents must be very proud of you!
Congratulations on losing so much weight! How did you do it? You must be feeling absolutely fantastic! You should send a pic in so we can see the results!
Hugs from me. xx

Hi weemam,
It's wonderful to see you here again. You're one of the first people I remember getting to know, when I became a member way back when. I do hope that your parents have settled into the routine of having care providers come in, to help with their meds etc. I'm sure this is a big relief to you.
Congrats on your weight loss. I know how exciting this can be, and the real sense of accomplishment one gets from it.
Take care, and Big Hugs to you.

We missed you too.I miss my fiance too.I wasn't able to say goodbye to him.His mom would do anything just to keep us apart.He left for Canada last Saturday.He only gave me a 2 day notice and his parents told him about the trip 2 days before he left and I was so far from him that time because we wer in the province.I wanted to believe that this is just a nightmare but when he called while he was in the airport,I heard the paging system of the airport.I cried.I don't want to hear his departure.It just hurts.I didn't even got to hug him or kiss him before he left.Pls help me pray that he'd come back very soon.I need him more than anything else in my life.
