Everyone

[Guest guest]

Hi there everyone,

I hope you are all well, and looking forward to Halloween! It’s a pretty

new thing here so we are still learning to carve those pumpkins properly

LOL!

We had such an awesome weekend! A friend invited us to spend Saturday and

Sunday at an old colonial mansion built in 1740 that belongs to her family.

It was the home of the first French Governor in Mauritius and is really well

maintained (I was expecting dust, rats and cobwebs LOL!) and very

comfortable. There were 10 of us, all good friends and we had such a ball,

it poured with rain the whole weekend so we played cards, lay and read and

went for a nice long walk in a hunting estate next door (in the pouring

rain!) it was so relaxing. Felt like we’d gone back to the colonial days.

I’m stressing big time at work at the moment – totally overwhelmed! Yikes!

It’s showing as I’m starting a flare, my blood tests were disastrous and

I’ve had to up the Pred again to get it under control before it really hits

hard. It worries me how long I’ll be able to keep this job up. I’m just so

exhausted and trying to keep up these long stressful days is becoming harder

and harder. Oh well we’ve all been there at some time, it will work out.

I’ve been reading the posts and missing you all, I’ve bunched some replies

on the bottom and will catch up as quickly as I can.

Hi Carol,

It’s a pleasure, I hope it helps. You really should try the make-up remover

one it was my best discovery!

Thanks so much for letting us know about Deb. I’m sorry you are having a

flare, please rest up and look after yourself.

((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))

Welcome back to your home! I’m so glad the surgery went so quickly and

uneventfully! Sorry your knee is in such a state, I hope that they can hold

the surgery off for a while.

Rest and get well my friend, you are in my prayers

(((((((((((((((Giant healing hugs))))))))))))))

Hi Lynn!

I’m so sorry this has been such an ordeal for you, you are in my thoughts

and prayers and I hope you’ll be well enough to enjoy your granddaughter’s

birthday and your new grandchild. Please rest and let your poor body heal.

Hugs,

Heidi

Subject: Cricklers -for crossword lovers

Thanks for this site a! I used to do crosswords all the time in South

Africa but since I’ve been in Mauritius I haven’t found English ones and

haven’t really had the time either. I’m going to try and make the time to

enjoy this site a little to relax me. Thanks for the holistic.com website

too, it was really interesting – I book marked it.

Hugs,

Heidi

I’m so sorry you are in so much pain and that your heart is hurting too.

It sounds like your husband was a wonderful man, I’m so sad for you that you

lost him so young. I also loved Moulin Rouge – the music was brilliant and

it was so colorful and emotional (I bawled my eyes out).

Don’t give up on finding that lid my friend, my aunt was divorced at age 23

and was alone until she met and married her present husband 2 years ago at

age 68! They are like two teenage lovers, it’s so sweet to see.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

(((((((((((((((Big gentle hugs))))))))))))))))))))

I’m so sorry you are feeling down, please know that you are in my thoughts

and prayers.

Oh Tess,

That was so beautiful I had tears in my eyes. Your soul is still as

beautiful as it always was my friend.

Hi there !

Welcome to the group, thanks for introducing yourself! I’m so sorry that

you needed to join us but it’s great to have you here.

I love Yorkshire Terriers, my dad has had one for years, they really are

special little dogs with the most amazing characters. Don’t give up

breeding them just yet, if you find the right treatment you might have a

good chance of carrying on. The Prednisone should help enormously if you

are on the right dose to start with and then hopefully they are going to

find the right cocktail to get this under control for you so that you may

get your life back. I was where you are now about 18 months ago and now

work full time in a hectic job and manage to cope.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Take care,

Heidi

((((((((((((((((((Debs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))))))))))))))))))

It’s so good to see you posting. I’m so glad your surgery is over, please

rest and make them look after our amazing friend.

Lots of love, constant prayers and (((((((((((((((Gentle healing

hugs)))))))))))))))

Heidi

((((((((((((((((((((((Louise))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I’m so sorry you feel so awful right now and are in so much pain. We have

all been in the place you are right now and understand how you feel. Please

don’t think that your pain and irritation with this disease are any less

important because there are those who suffer more – there is always someone

worse off than us but it doesn’t do anything to ease the pain in the moment.

Feel free to whine and look for support as needed, your feelings are

important to us.

((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))

Kathy!!!!!!!

Have a WONDERFUL trip!!! I’m sure Dan will be fine. I was living alone at

18yrs and am still here LOL! Try not too worry too much and enjoy yourself.

Hugs,

Heidi

LOL! What was that all about!?

Tess,

I’m so proud of how disciplined you’ve been on your weight loss. We all

have those “fat days” when we bloat up and seem bigger than we usually are.

I’m so glad your food diary is proving to help you mentally and physically.

Keep up the good work,

Hugs,

Heid
