The Tessy bear BOGOF thread

[tessybear]

Abbie so sorry to hear about your Grandad. Big hugs xx

Thank you lovely, all of us are just waiting for the phone call to say he has passed away, i have not spoken to him in a week or so, feeling rather guilty x

 

[armchair_rider]

I suspect that feeling some kind of guilt when a close relative passes away is a very normal thing. Hugs to you anyway

 

[Patterdale]

Ah i know Thank you its nice to have the support there x That is such a bad habbit of mine , My parents dont say it so goodness knows where i have picked it up ! x

Grandad is back in hospital doesnt know his own name , where he is etc He is going down hill so very quickly But yes This year is going to be a tough one x

First big hugs!

Then it's possible (even with/especially with his medical history) that he has a urine tract infection (UTI), these can cause severe confusion in an older person and treating this will quickly resolve the symptoms if this is the cause.
May be something else and more serious but could be something simple like this.

 

[Racergirl]

All the best people do it (call people lovely) and arent quite sure how it started

Im so sorry to see more horrible stuff in your world, hopefully nature will do her amazing thing and give everyone something nice to counteract the sadness around at the moment.

((hugs))

His liver is in failure and his leg has gone black (he didn't tell anyone about this) he lives 3 hours away so we cannot even visit him luckily he son (my uncle) lives just round the corner and found him quickly. He is going for blood tests, scans on his head etc but really doesn't look good at the moment

Abby, I am truly both amazed and impressed at the way you have handled everything that has been thrown at you. You put a lot of 'older' people to shame. Hugs to you and yours.

Thought it might have something to do with that
Thank you i do hope so, ontop of my new Ferrari horse ( step up from the cob) a little foal would make my year

Oh thank you Its trying to stay positive there are people out there worse off than me and i should be thankful for what i have got. Not what is being thrown at me x

 

[HorsesHavingFun]

Sorry to hear about your grandad Abbie Hugs to you and always here if you need to vent via pm. I do it all the time and its makes me feel better Life can be a big poo sometimes.

 

[rainer]

Hugs to you abbie so sorry about ur grandad, I lost mine when I was about ur age hopefully mini T will be along soon to brighten things a bit x

Older people are like this and it's amazing and really frustrating - they wait until they are super, super ill before telling anyone!!!

Ask your mom to phone the ward tomorrow but leave it until about lunch time, the docs should have been round by then and if she asks to speak to a staff nurse then you should be able to get some information on how he's doing and prognosis - they can't go into too much detail over the phone unfortunately because of patient confidentiality but can give you an idea.

 

[Once was lost]

So sorry to hear your sad news Abbie, please don't feel guilty, your Grandad knows how deeply you love him and don't apologise for needing to talk about it and get it out, times like this are so hard within families, each person wanting to support the next, you need an outside place to voice your own fears and feelings, please don't hesitate to do that here. This thread is not only about antisipating the arrival of Mini T, it is about supporting you through it all, we are all very exited about the foal but this threads popularity comes from you Abbie, the truly lovely person you are and we want to be there for you. I can only hope my daughter grows up to be half as lovely, thoughtful, intelligent, diligent, caring and humble as you are.


Okay, done the heart to heart, will go back to being rude and pretending I don't care if this foal ever arrives!

(I honestly men every word though Abbie, very proud of you!)

I spoke to him on the phone all last week and he never said anything about feeling off with his chest or his leg which will have been going on for a while

Thank you have passed all this onto mum who said thank you x

They are so stubborn!!!!

No probs, I'm a ward clerk so a big part of my job is answering the phone, finding out how a patient is and passing on the message. If you can't get in to visit then speaking to a staff nurse is the best way to get info.

I thought that's what you do ?

All the foal books said

" In order to check if mare is foaling look out for these signs:

1. HHO aunties cooing and awwing at your horses Multicoloured and PC boobies whilst complimenting her saggy beaver over a bowl of Cheerios.
2. Check at least 10 times a day just icnase in the few minutes you have refreshed she has foaled and created an account to notify her fans as her owner is to slow

What a lovely post
I really do love this thread for all the support and sense of everyone being together (Although the wait is very frustrating ).

Abbie, so sorry to hear about your grandad. Sending you big, virtual hugs. I hope TessyBear soon stops holding out on us all and sends a little foal your way to cheer you up, and give your Mum something to focus on* xx


*In other words, Tessybear, HURRY UP!!!

 

[kinnygirl1]

Thinking of you. You are handling all this so well. Take care. Hugs to you and tessy too. x

 

[PleaseVenus]

Hugs xxx Sorry to hear about your Grandad. Hope the foal comes soon to brighten things up a bit.

You're dealing with everything really well. When exams are over and Tess has finally had her foal you should definitely treat yourself!

 

[Strawbz]

Oh Abbie I'm so sorry to hear about your Granddad. I hope they can get him more comfortable and settled very soon. Sending best wishes to you, him and all your family xx

Hopefully this will make you smile a little. I think you missed it last night

Still no Mini T?!?

Come on Tess, this is more exciting than Christmas!

And to my fellow Aunties, please put down your tea/coffee/Cheerios......

Not only has this thread frustrated me with its apparently lack of foalie (not that I care about foals... not at all...) but it makes me want to calm myself by eating ALL THE CHEERIOS.

And I don't have any cheerios. So stop talking about their delicious rounded yumminess.

And stop talking about foals too.

 

[tessybear]

Eeeeee that poster is fantastic !!!! StrawbZ will get an inbox tomorrow thank you everyone x

Totally, totally brilliant!! Better than those card making sites!

I have Cheerios. They're smaller than I remember.


Thinking of you, Abbie. Breathe, take some time for yourself in amongst the madness.

<hugs> to you and your family who are in my thoughts. You are coping so well, just remember all your feelings are valid and you deserve to have a bit of fun Tessy watching and with the TB.
No news of Penny today, I didn't get to the yard as I had to collect my daughter from the school medical room. She has been getting lots of headaches recently and after her eye test last week is being referred to hospital to check on some changes at the back of her eyes. All being well she has a riding lesson after school tomorrow so we will check on Penny then, but I'm sure Tess will drop first!
