Mo, the photograph 'competition' is not like a real competition. We are just trying to get the best photo we can. The judge comments on them and decides some are worth an honours, others not quite so qood get Highly Commended, others get Merit. There can be several people get Honours, several HC, although the judge does finally pick one of the Honours pictures for the best of the night, but it is all a matter of opinion. I got 2 HC this month, I have put the results on my FB page.

Mo hope all goes well tomorrow and you get sorted health wise..... we will be thinking about you.... still no date for me he said it would be two weeks , but its thtree already so wont be holding my breath..... love and hugs

love Jean xx <3 <3 <3

Mo, hope all goes well at the hospital for you tomorrow and and that there will be nothing to worry about. Also hope that Roly's appointment all goes well for him too. I will be thinking about you both.


I seem to be having a lot of Error messages on GR lately, can't always get onto this thread or Shaun's thread........not sure if the problem is this laptop or GR's.


Hope everyone else is okay, speak to you tomorrow.


Take care.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Mo all the best for tomorrow, hope all is ok

LOL Ann are you trying for a new record again :-D :-D :-D :-D

was is 9 last time , so keep trying girl we are all behind you .... ;-) ;-) ;-)

That was the silly Ipad, it appeared to be stuck but must have gone on adding the message in a multiple.

Just wondering how both Mo and Roly got on at the hospital today, hope all went well for them and there is nothing for them to worry about.

I'll look in later on.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Yes, I have been wondering too.

Hello girls,
Well would you believe it, the first question I asked the person doing the scan, was, had my doctor contacted them re the difference in what she had requested scanning, and what they intended to do, and guess what, the answer was no.
According to their records she had asked for a pelvic scan, but luckily for me, the doctor had given me a duplicate copy of what she had asked for.
And after much deliberation, they scanned my upper and lower abdomen.
She could not see any stones, but she did ask me if I suffered from acid indigestion, but I don't, so who knows what the results will be.
But I am just grateful it is over and done with now.
Apparantly, I should not have eaten anything before the upper abdomen scan, but as I had not eaten since before 12.00 a.m, they went ahead and did it for me.
And as for having to drink two pints of water an hour before the scan, and then driving to the hospital over speed bumps, was no joke. My poor bladder was fit to burst, I wished I had the use of a tenna lady, but I was a good girl and held on. lol

Thank you all for your kind wishes, and I will let you know the results when I get them......(Thats if they don't lose them along the way )

Jean my lickle love, they are sure to send your appointment through soon. It may be made for next year the way they are going, so try not worry to much, you will only upset your system if you do, and we don't want that to happen.

Well my lovely friends, I will say cheerio for now, and send you all my very best wishes. Love and hugs Mo xxx

Ooops, I forgot to tell you, Roly's retinopathy went well yesterday, and he has got the machine that he has to use, to check for his sleep apnea(sp) and will start to use it tonight.
The poor thing had to re ring the hospital, as he was not sure what way the machine had to fitted to his arm at night.
It has to record his pulse whilst he sleeps. I also have to fill in a form regarding the noise level, and how much he moves etc during the night.
Hopeless for me to answer, as since his snoring got so bad, we sleep in different rooms.
I can only tell them that he is very very loud, and that he can fall asleep during the day, at the drop of a hat, depending how well he has slept the night before.
They wanted to know if he falls asleep whilst he is driving....excuse me....if he did that, I probably wouldn't be here to tell the tale. lol
He will have the machine till Monday, recording how many times he wakes and stops breathing during the night.
Cor he is a worry to me at times, but I luf him anyway.
Bye for now girls. Mo xxx

Oooh girls, the doctors have phoned me, they have got the results of my scan already, and I have to go and see the doctor on Wednesday.
Now I am worrying myself to death, as to whats wrong. They are never this quick normally.
Love Mo xxx

P.M sent no charge ;-) ;-)

Well I wouldn't call Wednesday that quick. Maybe those sort of scans come through more quickly. Let's hope they have got a solution and remedy for you Mo. Shall be thinking of you on Wednesday. What time?

Thank you Jean and Ann <3 <3 <3
My appointment is at 1.50 on Wednesday.
I am sure I am worrying for nothing, but the phone call from the surgery scared the pants off me, but I am o.k now everyone.
I am being very naughty, and am sitting here enjoying a mars bar, Mmmmm chocolate heaven, watching Emmerdale, chilling out.
Speak to you all later. Love and hugs Mo xxx

Best wishes for a good result on Wednesday, Mo. When I had the endoscopies I was surprised to learn that I had a hiatus hernia. I had never (as far as I know) suffered from heartburn. I now take capsules to reduce the acid in my stomach. So perhaps that is all they want you for, to prescribe something for you.

BTW, the acid reflux was apparently the cause of an annoying cough I had. It was virtually cured overnight after taking the first capsule, but I will probably have to keep taking the capsules.

Huia that is exactly what happened to me a few years ago and I too have tablets to take and G.......n too, dont have too much of a problem so just keep off foods that m
make me have acid.....still have the hernia but its behaving itself.....

love Jean xx

Ann, pics sent xx

Hi Mo, I'm sure if there was anything to worry about the hospital would have been in touch with you to go back there. Maybe you have a hiatus hernia and will need some medication for it....my mother had one for years, but she suffered more from pain and discomfort than acid reflux, she was prescribed Tagamet when she was diagnosed with it.

I will be thinking about you and hope that all goes well for you on Wednesday.



Jean, have you heard about when you having a biopsy yet? It will be nice when it's all done and sorted.


Haven't been on GR for a few days...my cousin rang me and told me that her and her hubby have seperated after 24years of marriage, he has been having an affair. So that's it as far as my cousin is concerned. Just hope that she'll be alright.


Speak to you soon.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Sallie, are you trying to beat my record? Five times for you. :-D

Oh Ann, I've just seen it.lolol!! I don't know what is happening on this site, I still keep getting Error messages when I post and sometimes I can't even get onto Shaun's or this thread.

It's a blinking nuisance.


Love, Sallie.xxx
