@Izzyjamal‍ 

Hi Izzy. I have not heard from you in ages. You used to send me messages every day, and now they have stopped for a long time now. You were waiting for your mobility scooter to arrive in a week. that was the last time I heard from you me regularly. You had sever pains and you wer not happy the way you were treated. I never heard the outcome of it. Are you alright? Has your mobility scooter arrived/ How are you getting on with your book. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Christina

Hi Dear Christina,

I have been in Hospital on a Ventilator...I could not breathe and after trying everything I accepted the Ventilator!!!!

When they wake you up it’s a horrendous experience but I’m alive so I’m happy!!!

In the meantime my Mobility Scooter arrived!! It’s in a Garage of a Friend. Going to see her today.

I started on Nefopam for my pain so let’s see .

With all this they spoke with the Ete Hospital for my next Appointment. It’s this Monday coming. I already know that I have a Brain Tumour, going to speak with my Consultant at the Eye Hospital... “solutions!”...

Christina can you send me your email so I can send you my photos of my Mobility Scooter please or your mobile number!

Missed every Angels here!!!

Hugs 🤗 and Kisses 😘

Izzy.

So sorry to hear of your tumor, hopefully they can help you with that. I ordered my mobility scooter a week ago and soooo looking forward to her arrival. I have asked my daughter to get me a sticker to put on it....that says " Ferrari"...just for fun. Got to get a new electrical socket in the garage for her so I can charge her batteries. Wish I could charge my batteries...I bet you do too. Let us all know how you go with your new mobility scooter, what are you going to call her ? Please keep in touch...big hugs..Gloria

@Izzyjamal‍ 

Hi Izzy

I am so glad to hear from you and also very sorry to hear that you have a brain tumor. Is that new, or have you had it for a while and you knew about it? How is the new pain drug suiting you? Any relief from pain so far? So our mobility scooter is sitting in a friend's garage? When are you going to get it? Izzy I don't like to put my email on a public wall, but if you send me your phone number I can message you with my mail address and phone number. Do you have a smart phone with WhatsApp? When I receive your phone number I will let you have my email address and phone number. Hope all goes well for you.

Love and a hugs from me.

Christina

Hi Izzy. I am so glad to hear from you. But also very sorry that you ended up on a ventilator in the hospital. Is the diagnosis of Brain tumour new, or you already knew about it. Is it inoperable?

@Izzyjamal  Hiya, I used to live in Manchester years ago, first in Didsbury then on to a farm in Cheadle and rode my horse to the main road to get the school bus...in deep snow. Would leave him in the yard of the local shop and go on to school. So I know the weather there..bloomin' freezing. At least now we have our Mazza and Ferrari....Here it is so hot, building up to the wet season...we are only 6 deg. off the equator. So I might need an umbrella to shade me from the hot sun. Having a bit of a flare tonight, awake again at 3 a.m. with bad pain, got up and made a coffee, took some pain meds and here I am on the computer trying to get through the rest of the night. I was diagnosed with A.S. 9 years ago and it has got progressively worse over the years. In Bali they do not sell mobility scooters so we had to order from China and I'm now waiting eagerly for it to arrive sea freight. Might get it for my birthday early October. How wonderful to have wheels eventually. I wish you well my dear friend and lots of hugs from me.  Gloria
