Ah Ah !!! Laura !!! Amiga mia ! ♥

Thanks God, I'm a Rushie, as you say, and I have lots of wonderful friends !!!
That helps a lot to bear all this pains !

But as I already told in one of my previous comments, soon, all this will be only a bad souvenir !

Kisses for you and hugs back !

Glad to hear you're back! Now have a good night's sleep and you'll feel better soon! :)

Thanks again, my dear Anja ! ♥
I spent a better night than the previous one, thankfully !!!!

Too bad I have this terrible stomach-ache, because this is the one wich makes me tired the most...
But the warm of your friendship helps a lot !!! ;)

Glad you're back with us safe and sound. Now: rest as much as you can, take things slowly, think loads of Apples and Geoffreys and the occasional Kerr and you'll be rested and ready for action in no time. I feel it. :) *hug*

Yes "dad" ! I will do all your wise advises !!!! ;)
And be sure I'll take the most of this forced rest ! Anyway, I have no choice !

Thanks again, Martin ! ♥
You're a precious friend !

Hello Cate !
Je suis contente (et j'imagine combien toi aussi...) que tu sois revenue chez toi.
Je craignais qu'ils te gardent jusqu'à la fin de la semaine mais je vois qu'ils t'ont fait de grosses misères =(
Si les antalgiques te font mal au ventre, il te faudrait peut être un plâtre intestinal style phosphalugel ou peut-être boire une cuillérée de bicarbonate de sodium dissoute dans un peu d'eau, ça fait roter juste après l'avoir bu mais ça adoucit miraculeusement l'acidité et les brûlures d'estomac, ça peut peut-être marcher...
J'espère qu'à l'heure actuelle tu dors et que la douleur se fait oublier.. D'ici deux jours ça devrait aler mieux ... courage !
Merci pour le morceau :)

Salut à toi, "Païs" !!!!

Un peu que je suis contente d'être dans mes murs !!!!
Même si les petites choses du quotidien sont un peu dure à faire toute seule, je suis bien entourée !

Un GRAND merci pour tes conseils médicaux !!!
Le bicarbonate !!!! OF COURSE !!!! j'aurais du y penser avant !!!!
Les remèdes de grand-mères ont parfois du bon !!!!
D'ailleurs, ce qui me soulage le plus (point de vue estomac), c'est la bouillote... et les yaourts au bifidus !!!! Et ça, c'est sans effets indésirables, ni danger d'accoutumance !!!

ça fait roter juste après l'avoir bu
LOL !!!! Comme disait nos grand-mères (encore elles !) : "il ne faut jamais garder l'ennemi en soi !!!!"

J'ai passé quand même une bien meilleure nuit que la dernière (heureusement !), mais c'est toujours ce p***** d'estomac qui m'a réveillé par deux fois...
Je ne vais quand même pas manger des Activia © toute la nuit ! ;)

Malheur ! L'heure à laquelle tu as posté ton comment !!!!
J'espère que ce matin, ça allait, quand même !!! ?... Ou c'est demain que tu vas payer cash...
Bon courage, en tout cas, et encore, merci pour tout !

... et de rien pour la zicmu !
Alela Diale est aussi une artiste à découvrir ! je te conseille son premier album ! (je peux aussi te l'envoyer via Sendspace, si tu veux... en espérant que ça ne te dérange pas de jouer le jeu des "pirates" ?...

vissez que merde - juste buvez du vin !

Ah Ah !!! Renee !!! Don't make me laugh like that, I already have my stomach twisted ! XD

Your "vissez que merde" means : Screw only shit" or something like this ! XD
So, I really don't know what you mean there !!! ;D
EDIT :... after reflection... I think I guess what you mean !!!
"Vivez, que diable !" woudn't be that ?! (or "Live, Hell !" if you prefer ! XD )

Wine... ah !!! If only I could !
But I'm so sick because of my stomach that I don't dare !...
But this period can be transformed into a positive stuff : I had to be in (on ?) diet ! ;)

Edited at 2009-11-05 18:03 (UTC)

I was trying to say "screw that shit!" or "fuck all that" (in plain English!)

LOL !! I got it !!!!

Well, now you learn some French, it's perhaps time to learn you some bad words ?!...
You can translate your "fuck all that" by "envoie tout chier" !

That reminds me the famous "faites chier la vache !" of Monthy Pythons !!! XD

Les remèdes de grand-mères sont parfois étonnants d'efficacité ! Avec les médic que je prends depuis des années, je peux te dire que je loue l'efficacité et la rapidité d'action du bicarbonate !
Concernant ta proposition un ou deux autres morceaux de The pirat's gospel ne serait pas de refus. Alela Diane me plait bien. Je connaissait pas. Si ces morceaux me plaisent aussi je verrai à télécharger le reste du CD via la FNAC... Que vivent les vrais artistes !!! :)

C'est marrant !!! J'étais vraiment persuadée que tu étais aussi une grande défenseuse des VRAIS artistes !!!! ;) Bravo !

Et tes désirs sont des ordres, très chère :

(Pirate's Gospel est vraiment ma préférée de l'album. Le 1er album, j'entend, qui porte d'ailleurs ce titre. Le 2ème est un peu décevant, à part une chanson... que je pourrais aussi te filer... si je la retrouve dans mes dossiers ! XD )

Merci pour les morceaux. J'aime particulièremernt sister self..

Mais c'est un plaisir !!! ;)
Contente de voir que tu apprécies cette artiste !

Aww! It's good to hear your surgery went well! I meant to comment on your other (pre-surgery) post, but of course my computer pooped out on me and it didn't happen XD

After I had my surgery, the hardest part for me was finding a comfortable position to sleep! It really is a frustrating situation! But hopefully you'll heal quickly and it won't be too much of a problem for you :D

Take care sweetie! And get some well-deserved rest! :D I'll send you good vibes for a speedy recovery!

Hey ! Thank you so much !!! I really think all your good vibes worked... and still does !!!

Love is one of the best medicine, and there isn't any contraindications ! ;)

What kind of surgery did you have, if I may ?...
That's right nights seem longer than usual, when you have some body-pains ! :(

Be sure I will take the most of my rest ! I already had a better night than the previous one ! Too bad that my stomach hurts me so much ! It's it wich makes me tired more...
But I guess (HOPE !) all this will gat better with time !

And on my turn, I send you my best vibes... for your PC won't pooped out again ! ;))

I had surgery on my tailbone (I had a pilonidal cyst). So I spent a looong time not being able to lay on my back or really sit down comfortably. It still bothers me if I lay or sit for too long.

Hopefully your stomach starts feeling better :( Just think of Geoffy and you'll make it through XD

OUCH !!!! That must be really painful !!!
I already had some lumbagos, and so know how we can feel when the back hurts !!!

I'm lucky enough to stand sat a long time compared to all you endured !

My stomach... could be a vesicle problem, from the doctors... *gasp*
But he gave me a great medicine wich work, I suffer less, by waiting some other exams next week... wait and see !

Just think of Geoffy and you'll make it through XD
Ah Ah !!! Exactly !!!! That's the best medicine !
Guess who I thought about just while surgery team prepared me, just before to get asleep ?! He he !!! ;)

I am so glad to hear that your surgery went well. GOOD LUCK on a full recovery! Hope you enjoy this little vacation while healing. Rest well! *BIG HUGS* ♥

Masha !!!!!!!
AW !!! My dear LOTR pal !!! ♥

Thank you for commenting here and your sweet words !
You bet I'll take the most for resting me ! ;)
It's a big "premiere" for me to be off work for such a long time... but I really need these 2 weeks !

Hope everything's OK for you, dear !!!!
*HUGE HUGS BACK !*

I'm happy to read that you're home!
I hug you!

Thanks again, Valentina !!!! ♥

You can guess I'm happy to be home too !
Now, I've got all my time to be in front of my dear PC !!! ;D

*hug you tightly !*

Two weeks!

How do you plan to spend your time? Watching movies? Are you waiting for a diagnosis or doyour doctors know exactly what is going on?

I recently watched Harvey Krumpet (great, it's like GR reading his kids a story) and Mercury - an Ozzie tv show GR did in the late '90's. It was a little cheesey, but GR is cute to watch... I feel like I'm watching a dress rehearsal - I keep saying to myself, oh, if they'd just tidy that up a bit, or take a longer beat there, it would be really tense!' But that speaks to the director... Through Netflix I am able to watch some hard-to-find GR stuff - Starstruck is next on my list.

How is your mother doing at this time? I hope you are not both laying low at the same time.

Speaking of spending lots of quiet time - I was inspired recently to learn some new skills related to my Spirograph cards - I bought a book about pop-up card art. Should take my cards to a whole new level! Can't wait to surprise G.

Yep ! 2 weeks !!!
As I already told in a previous comment, it is a big "premiere" for me !!! In 18 years at the same job, I never have been off-work more than 2 days !!!
But I really need it ! God ! I'm exhausted ! And I'm moving like an old lady !

How do you plan to spend your time?
First... I want to answer to my several mails, comments, etc ! ;)
Then, I HAVE TO call my doctor about my f****** stomach !!! It's not normal it hurts me so much ! :-(

I also wait for the results from this new surgery, hoping it will be good this time... if not... *GASP* that certainly means radio-therapy... or worse !

And I also have to see a skin specialist for my several other moles... and I can tell you that I'm a little bit afraid of what he will tell me...
If ever I have other moles to removes... God ! That will be hard to deal with !

I won't have the "right" to expose myself again under the sun... so, I wonder where could I spend all my summer holidays ?... In Oz, for exemple ! LOL !!! During my summer break, it's winter, Down Under ! He !

Of course, I'll spend most of my days in front of my dear PC ! =D
And, from time to time, certainly will watch a film or 2 !
I'm so glad you finally watched this little gem wich is "Harvey Krumpett" !!!!
Like you say, it's like if we could hear telling a tale to his children ! ♥
And this story is so touching !!! I love this little character, full of a simple wisdom !

"Mercury" !!!! I have it on a DVD, thanks to Susan !
2 years ago, she has proposed to Rushies to have it, and of course, I aswered YES !!!!
Do you want me to send you a copy ?!... I think it will work on your PC, despite the difference of zones... (silly stuff, BTW !)
I love the face of Geoffrey, at this period... though I prefer him now, with his silver temples ! But his glasses in this serie are irresistible, don't you think ?! XD

"Starstruck"... I tried to watch it... but really, I wasn't "caught"... and Geoffrey has got a tiny role in it... But it's worth for watching ! LOL !!! He's so skinny !!!

My mother is OK !!! Thanks for asking !!!!
She is in her "good week", as she calls it, because her session of chemotherapy is far away ! ;)

Good luck in your new creations, Renee !!!!
Ah Ah !!! Nothing stops an artist when she's creative and inspired by an Aussie-sexy-thespian !!!! ;)

No surgery is without pain and nasty side effects, but I'm very happy that it went well. And I hope that you're feeling a lot better now than on Wednesday. Take care, Cate, and try to rest as much as possible. Don't try to rush getting out and about too soon, okay? Thinking of you, dear. *Big hug from me and the kitty!*

You said it !!!! But if only my stomach could leave me alone, I could deal with my pain from the scar !...
My doctor went to see me this morning, and it could be more serious than I thought : the vesicle.
But I have a scanner and other exams on my body to do next week, so, by waiting, he gave some ultra-great medicines wich work. I suffer less ! Phew !

Do not worry, Alison !
I do my best to make NOTHING !!!... and today, I was so tired that I even wasn't in front my PC !!! Unbelievable, he ?! ;)

HUGE HUGS BACK to you and your kitty !!! ♥
BTW, where will you post some pics ?! ;)

Lots of hugs.

Thank you, Abigail !!! ♥
That keeps warm !!!!

Hi Cate!

It's so good to hear from you. You have definitely been on my mind and I'm so glad to hear your back at home. I'm sure it's a big relief to have the surgery part over with. It's good to hear you weren't too nervous, you are very brave!

I'm sorry to hear that your'e so sore but I'm sure that is just part of it. Hopefully it will wear off soon. At least you have a couple of weeks to recooperate. You could turn that into some good "rushie time".

Take care of yourself, we can't have our beloved rushie feeling sick now can we !!!

AW Suzanne !!!! ♥
Thank you so much, my dear !!! For your thoughts and your kind words !

That's for sure it's better to be at home than to the clinic ! ;)
Even if I'm alone (no nurse to take of me) but I'm surrounded by friendship and lots of people come each day to help me in my current life !
I act so slowly, and neither can't do some movements, like hold some things...

My stomach hurt me again this morning, making my mood very low, but tonight, I'm better !
Let's hope I'll manage to sleep an entire night, without too much pain... but I doubt it... :(
Never mind, I have all the day after to rest... and also 2 weeks ! ;)

Of course I turn my time into Rushie Time... but these 2 last days, I was so sore and exhausted, than I couldn't stand in front of my PC for a long time...

Take safe, you, Suzanne !!!
Your friendship is special for me !

Oh my poor poor Cate :( I hope you are feeling better and better with each day!!! Rest a lot, sleep and everything will be okay.
Me and captail of the Flying Dutchman who is looking at me right now, we wish you get well soon!!!! :) xoxoxo

Ava, my dear ! ♥
Thanks a lot for your sweet and funny comment !!!

Today, I feel much better, as I spent my first night without pain since I got back home !!!! =D
So, the mood is better too !!!!

Say Hi and thanks to this famous Captain of the Flying Dutchsman from me !!! ;))

Hello Cathou! :-) ♥

I am sorry for the delai. I have forgotten to look your Journal yesterday. I'm glad to see you back. I'm also happy that the surgery went well. I have almost called you last weekend but I did not want to "hurt your poor ear". ;-)

I know that I will talk to you soon: I got my laptop on Saturday and by Friday (of this week) the Internet technician is coming home to install it. Can't wait.

Pas de problème !!! (tu sais, tu peux poster tes comments en Français, sur mon LJ ! ;D )

Pour mes oreilles, LOL ! il y en a une qui fonctionne normalement !
Je tâcherais de t'appeler moi-même, dans quelques heures !... Il parait que c'est un jour assez spécial pour toi, today ! ;)
J'espère que tu as gardé ton même numéro, malgré ton déménagement ?!

Un ordinateur portable !!! Rien que ça !!!
Et avec la connection illimité que tu dois avoir, tu vas en passer des heures, devant ton petit écran ! ;)

A tout à l'heure au téléphone, donc...
Ou à plus tard sur les ondes !
