, jam as much in as you can, while you can hun, make the most of it!!!
Consultant came around earlier and wasnt happy with my Dad legs in his opinion they have gotten worse so he sent him for the u/s immediately....apparently they were thinking cellulitis (?sp) which is the fluid travelling thingy or has something to do with it....however my Dad soon found out the u/s wasnt an u/s but an MRI scan he was injected with dye through his arm into his vein....my Dad said he could feel the fluid running up his back and spine and it wasnt a pleasant experience. Apparently there is some fluid thing going on of some sort but theres also some sort of tumor as well 
now my Mum isnt best at understanding nor explaining things second hand so I am relaying what she said to me....my Dad is now waiting for the consultant to come back and see him.....This is really worrying me now, I so hate having to hear second hand bless my Mum but I always understand better when I hear it first hand iykwim. 
Why does this time of year plague our family with bad luck blah!
I'm so sorry you're going through so much. It must be so hard and being ill on top of it all so prevented from being as involved as you would be. I hope if there is a tumour it is benign. It sounds like you need some serious checking over. 
nothing goes to plan!
Thank you hon
I hope so too but it looks like my Dad is going to be out of work for some while now not a few days as we first thought which worries me as well cause as I said my mum had a major hip replacement last December and hasnt recovered very well since the op she is still limping badly and hasnt bounced back from this op as quickly has she has from other hip ops she has had. She still works pretty much full time and refuses to slow down so I also worry that not only my Dad is very ill but also that my Mum will run herself into the ground too....I know my uncle will help out as much as possible and although my Mum and dad have a great staff team they are both very much hands on in an attempt to keep the business good throughout the current economy iykwim...they work damn hard. They are also flying to the family house in spain on 22nd Dec for a Christmas break which is very much deserved
I am going to demand my Dr does something tomorrow to help me....this cant go on for me I feel run down and so tired simply with all the choking and now with the lung pains its scaring me....Poor Charlie the little mite! PS AM SURE WORK THINK I AM LYING ABOUT HOW ILL I REALLY AM
I wish I could say something useful but there's nothing I can say while everything is still so up in the air. Just know we're all hear whenever you need to talk or vent.
madly....all my thoughts are with you and your dad
your support means so much! 4 weeks is long enough now! I am part of a very good union too so if they try to pull any nasty little stunts on me I know I will have amazing support. Doesnt make me feel great though when I just sense the atittude 
Thank you Ladies
I am def going to put my foot down with the Dr tom
Madcat I hate to think theres an atmosphere at work and bitching because people have to cover my role....some people see this as beneath them iykwim! But tbh although I am hurt by peoples attitude I know that right now the most important person is me and of course baby Charlie so they will just have to deal with it
My last babe and my last pregnancy if I ever get over this damn infection or whatever it is I intend to enjoy every last minute 
I`m ready for a fight madcat....I had a hellish time whilst pregnant with Oliver and I wont let them spoil this for me
., i felt 3 little movements from the outside, as faint as they were, i just felt them.
honey. You are totally right make sure the Drs are looking after you and your dad. Hopefully a couple of weeks down the line and everything will be looking better for your whole family.
Madly,hope the dr does something for you today,you shouldn't have to put up with all thisthinking of you and your dad toox
Thought I would've been feeling this baby full on wks ago so didn't bother,at this stage there's prob no point,surely I be feeling him/her properly in a few wks regardless of placenta position!
