I walk on it but I limp, it can hurt like hell and it can be a bit buckly. Once my knee has warmed up so to speak I limp less. I turned to look at something immediately behind me and while my upper body turned, my legs didn't. Until I find out the MRI results I have no idea as to treatment. I have been told physio will be the go. Again, it can be done at work. Thankyou for you advice. I've never had a knee injury before. Kind of freaking me out as I don't want to be incapacitated for too long for various reasons.

Ouch! Hope its not too serious, Khun Khun. Best wishes
 
Thanks Jam. Hope everyone is dealing as well as they can with their pain/loss/grief/whatever else is making life less fun at the moment. At the risk of sounding like a Hallmark card, it's the setbacks that make you realise that things might not have been as bad before as you thought they were, and give you the hope that they'll be good again.

I'll just ditto this. Take care everyone.
 
So a dear friend of mine passed on, at the age of 54. She got Lung Cancer, and never partook in the fags. Sure, she was exposed to passive smoking etc, but the Doctors do not think this was the cause. She was diagnosed with a rare gene, one that usually only Asian woman have........... Even though she didn't have that heritage. Just show us all, that there is no rules in life, health and what we are dealt.

I was beside myself, that I would not be able to fly over for the babes funeral and also the guilt that I had for not going to see my donna, when I was told she was sick, 3 years ago. She outlasted the 18 months they gave her, which I was never told about.

I called her hubby this morning and had a huge chat. He reassured me that all is OK and that it is best that I remember her, as I remember in our last meeting YEARS ago ......... when she was laughing and joking with me :( but :)

He said she was so sick and she took on a last ditch attempt at chemo in the last few weeks. He got a call from the Dr and he thought it was just to say she was ready for pick up - but it wasn't.

Not being a Catholic and not understanding that Church process of their way of a funeral, I am not going to pressure myself, nor to go to it. I believe a Funeral should be a celebration of life, not a blessing etc etc, because she does not need to be blessed and whatever they do. She was a beautiful person that treated everyone with love and respect.

I have hundreds of pis of us and her and others that I wanted to send them onto the Funeral, so people that knew could see some of the light and bright she brought to all - but unfortunatly that is not how it is done.

I am going to make my own recording of our friendship - through pics and video etc and I might send onto her family anyway - might take a few months, but I will feel better by doing so .......

Makes life real when stuff like this happens, and getting older - It is going to happen more often.........

Love yours, like never before

and now - I am going to say see you all in the future - Decided to take a step away from this forum. That reepbot is doing my head in and seems to have no sense about real life.
Take care all, I may lurk - but not post - I hate to be around people that piss on others that care - NASTY piece of work - Awyways - LOVE you all xxx

A brilliant idea. In my church (Salvation Army) the funeral is both a mourning for the deceased but it is very much a celebration as well for and of their life. The practice of having a photo montage video of them over the course of their life on their own, with family and friends has become very popular. There are always laughs and tears as there should be. No set routine and rituals apart from the committal before the body is taken from the church. Scripture reading and hymns are chosen by the family. Quite a bit of fun actually and a true celebration of a life, not to mention a happyish catch up with friends who come together for the occasion.
I am sure your friend's family will be very pleased and appreciative of your efforts in remembering her and will know how much you loved and cared for her. Several months down the track it will serve as a reminder of how much she is missed and still loved. xx

You e got such a great heart hooley.
 
What!?

@hooleydooley, I genuinely will miss you and your ray of sunshine you spread. You are upbeat and see the hope in everything life throws at you. I have appreciated all our pms and what you have brought to the forums. The music thread is not going to be the same. I will miss your random tags for music I may like and who else will enjoy my selection of music like you do? Not to mention all your wonderful advice and caring nature to make sure some of us posters were ok.

You have a beautiful heart... I'm happy you at least get to share it elsewhere, even if not on these forums anymore.

I certainly understand.
My sister in law lost her mum last year and they diagnosed her with like 3 months but she passed on 3 days later.
She was also 54.
It definitely makes you think and have a low tolerance for bs.

Do you think putting him on ignore would work? There are many of us in here that enjoy your posts and prefer you wouldn't leave, but understand if you have to.
You sound like a lovely friend by the way.

Sorry again for your loss @hooleydooley, it's such a sad situation to be in and it's really difficult to be so far away at times like this. Your idea is a lovely one though, you will find a way to honour the memory of your friend I'm sure.



This. So much this. I completely understand but I just wish it hadn't come to this.

I second these sentiments...
 
So sorry for your loss Hooley .. totally understand what you felt losing your friend and the guilt that comes with not having visited and not attending her funeral ... been in that exact place .. still am. The difference being you made that call and reached out to talk about her and how much she meant to you. Honour her however you need to ... it will mean so much to them but it will also help you

Hope after a little time out you'll come back ... use the block/ignore feature if you're unable to scroll past

Just remember for every one you need to block there are a dozen more who are great value fun to be around and more importantly great listeners when you need it

Take care and a big gentle hug
Be good to yourself and set that guilt free
 
Condolences @hooleydooley ...wishing you peace and kindness
Don't know what is going on around here...mysterious mostly, the tensions, whatever

And I am feeling like crap and having one of the worst moments I will ever have in life...and the days ahead will be awful, for a bit...looking for the light

Please remember when/if you want to flame/troll/argue/bitch/attack/belittle - a lot of posters just want a little light relief from shit, REAL hard shit and they don't require pings and arrows from this community.
And that includes the posters you hate, just leave it.
If I am here, I am here to distract myself from more hard decisions or mountains to climb, light relief from real life.
This is TOTALLY DISTRACTING, so much more than anything else so far.
Cheers - typing soothes me right now

Back to lurking around DW
