              @Verdun Thank you for the good laugh. Poor birthday boy! Was that whole year a fine one, apart from that horrible day? You know, I'm kind of superstitious.

                  I've only seen these posts.
                  Women are very good drivers.
                  I've never had a accident when driving.

                      Hi, hell of a day......wouldn't know were to begin....... sister was on the mend a bit this morning and seemed quite chirpy, liver was looking as if it was recovering slowly and was told that she may not need an op after all. She even said ( and this was before 7am and via a text) that she now felt like having visitors as she was bored. So we were thinking of going up there at some point over the next day or two. We are also in daily contact with the nurses to monitor her situation.
                      She has a friend visiting her daily, so does have company, but ( and this is the weird bit that is frazzling our brains....this is my older sis and me ) this friend keeps phoning my older sis and telling her the complete opposite of what younger sis ( poorly one) AND hospital are telling us!!! This friend has said no we must not go up as sis is way too poorly. I said that I WOULD go up and stay overnight at sis's house and visit her several times as I have a key ....well this s****** friend said no way should I do that and that she...( the weird sounding friend ) would be ' most disappointed if I dared to go up !!!! what the****!!,......gets weirder......!! She said tonight (weird friend that is) that sis has be on morphine all day and is spaced out and can't talk or text us as she now has a collapsed lung and must not be visited by us.....we were shocked to hear this as last we heard she was chirpy, on the mend and wanting us...her family to go up. So immediately phoned hospital.....yes, she has got a collapsed lung but its being treated and she is doing well.....yes, she is on painkillers..but not morphine!!, no, she is not 'spaced out' at all,.......yes, of course we can visit her, but as we have a bit of a journey then maybe best to phone first to check if all is well !!!!!! Sorry bit long winded, but older sis and I think this friend is a bit strange ....that's being polite!! What is she up to, telling us what we can and can't do ....and making up her own version of events. My older sis has been very polite to her but has tried to convey to her in nice words..to butt out of things and mind her own b***** business !!! God I soooo wish she ( weird friend) had phoned me....I wouldn't have been so polite, that's for sure!!
                      On top of all this older sis and I have to be very careful of how much info to pass on to our dear dad ( and younger, poorly sis agrees too) as we don't want to stress him too much, so we have to make sure we tell him the same story..Phew!!! Have spent all afternoon with older sis trying to work out just what is going on and have been on the phone most of the day. Got back home spoke with dad only to be told that he has had a funny spell today of not being able to move his feet at all, but he will NOT go for a check up and I MUST not even think about arranging one as he feels fine now... I am totally knackered and stressed, don't think I will get any sleep as my brain is in overdrive and I can't shut it down..........that's families for you!!

                      Sorry ....rant over!

                      How are you all, hope you all had a nice day.........was the weather nice:dunno::snorky:??

                        Morning all.
                        @Upsydaisy I'm very pleased that your sister is on the mend. It's weird about her friend,as if she wants her to herself and look after her. All the best.:)
                        Hope your dad is ok.
