My in-laws won't be coming for Christmas due to coronavirus and the old guys ongoing health problems. We can't visit them due to coronavirus and the old guys health problems.

iantjambo Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 We’ve got the grandkids for the weekend. The grandson (2 years old) has woke up upset. He won’t go back to sleep without granddad cuddles. I’m now sat with him on the couch, cuddled in and he’s dozing off. I know it’s cheesy. But I absolutely adore these moments.

Probably will as numbers of cyclists increase and provision on roads doesn't change much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can mind you seething about getting lots of phone calls from them a while back. My first ping. Pretty much my 6th isolation though. Start of November my youngest had to get tested so we all had to isolate. It was clear. 2 days later my oldest had to isolate from school so I had to take the time off to look after him (he's only 6). He was due to go back and my youngest at 9 months had to isolate from nursery so I had to take time off for him. Next week we all got sick and it turned out that wee Frankenstein had, and gave us all covid. Then the calls started and I ended up blocking their number 😂 Frankenstein was only back at nursery for a week before he had to isolate again so I still never made it back to work. It should be noted that I haven't been paid for the time I've taken off to look after the kids. Then my first ping! I DO get paid for this 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've had an enormous dread hanging over me the last few years as I've slowly been losing use of my left hand and getting increasingly numb all over, especially on the left. I can't play any instruments any more, even drums, the stick comes flying out my hand as I can't feel how tightly I'm holding it. But I've moved around a LOT, 5 addresses in the last 4 years, and every time I start seeing a doctor about it I move, change doctor and area, and have to start all over again. On Saturday I got taken into hospital after going numb all down the left side of my body, arm and leg too, and I feared the worst. Thankfully I'd finally got an MRI a few days earlier and they were able to refer to it. I don't have some degenerative nerve disease, I'm not in danger of getting locked in or losing the ability to move, but my spinal cord is being compressed in the neck, causing nerve issues with movement and feeling. There may be more issues further down the spine (only the top got done) but my brain is good and there's finally an explanation. It might not seem like great news to find your spinal cord has problems that stop you from functioning properly, but it's something that can possibly be treated, it isn't a horrific disease that will leave me a vegetable and there's even a possibility that I may play instruments again and that's as massive a YAAAAY! as I can think of. Superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb! I had the same thing. Was originally treated as a frozen shoulder, but when there was no response to physio or a cortisone injection, I was sent for an MRI scan. Discs were crushing the nerves coming out between them. 8 months later, had surgery to prize the discs apart. Since then, perfect. Prior to the op, I had no sensation on the outside of my right hand, and sometimes all the way up to my elbow. Luckily, my GP realised quickly to send me for an MRI, so I only suffered the worst of it for 10 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 We are in the process of implementing a new system in work. We needed a lot of information to go onto it but there was guidance to say that a lot of specific information was NOT to be added right now and a decision would be made in July. I was asked if I had put the specific information on the system, to which I replied no you weren't to until the decision was made in July, I even forwarded the guidance to them. This was overruled by management and I then had to put it all on, which took at least a week. I was in a meeting yesterday and someone mentioned that a decision had not yet been made with regards to that specific information. I relayed this back to the management who are now chasing their tails wondering who they can blame. It won't be me as I managed to retrieve the email conversation where I challenged it and was overruled, which I have put on the back-burner for any subsequent meetings. All very I must say.
