12:37 am

12:44 am

rururocks

Hey Gr

12:44 am

grannyrose

i haven't been chatting as i wasn't very good company for a time

12:44 am

grannyrose

hey ruru

12:45 am

grannyrose

my 37 year old son, fit and, we thought healthy, had a stroke 2 months ago.

12:45 am

rururocks

Oh. I hope things are better

12:46 am

SueMagee

Oh, rose - it’s so good to see you!

12:46 am

rbud

oh, rose, (((hugs)))

12:46 am

grannyrose

he's on the improve.

12:46 am

grannyrose

hey Sue, rbud

12:46 am

SueMagee

Rose, that’s dreadful. How’s he doing?

12:46 am

rururocks

That’s pretty young for a stroke

12:46 am

justafreep

I'm glad to hear he's improving, rose

12:47 am

grannyrose

no physical deficit. but his brain is taking it's time to rewreite itself.

12:47 am

grannyrose

with all the x-rays and scans at the time, they also discovered a hole in his heart.

12:48 am

grannyrose

and the tumor near his hypothalamus, close to his right optic nerve.

12:48 am

SueMagee

You haven’t had your troubles to seek.

12:49 am

rururocks

Yes. My friend has the same issue. They can plug it

12:49 am

grannyrose

he's been to hell and back, and took me with him.

12:49 am

justafreep

oh, geez. Sorry to hear all of that

12:49 am

grannyrose

they have ruru.

12:49 am

rururocks

Oh good

12:50 am

hokie carla

wow, sounds like he's had a rough go of it. my mom had a stroke in Jan or Feb so I understand the brain thing.

12:50 am

grannyrose

at the time i was on here, and asked for someone to talk to about it. i'm afraid no-one responded so i felt pretty deserted.

12:51 am

hokie carla

oh no! I must've been sleeping

12:51 am

SueMagee

Oh, rose. I’m so sorry.

12:52 am

rbud

so sorry we slacked when needed!

12:52 am

grannyrose

when i came in, the last message had been about ten minutes earlier.

12:52 am

grannyrose

you're all here now. and i did have sprite via whatsapp.

12:54 am

rbud

does your son have children? I see a handsome fellow in your FB pics, would that be him?

12:55 am

rururocks

I have to sleep. It is 2pm here. Hugs gr

12:55 am

grannyrose

anyway, i am going into hospital for my regular Rx tomorrow. rbud, that is Simon, middle son.

12:56 am

hokie carla

2am here. where in the world are you, ruru?

12:57 am

rururocks

NYC hokie

12:57 am

rbud

Ah! I see. best results for the hospital checkup. ((((more hugs))))

12:57 am

hokie carla

but I need to sleep too so I can drive up to my mom's tomorrow. best wishes for your son's recovery, rose.

12:57 am

grannyrose

for some reason about 6 weeks prior, i was compelled to sign over the family home to him. he and his wife have been living in it since their marriage.

12:58 am

grannyrose

hugs ruru, carla. hope you both sleep well.

12:59 am

grannyrose

it was like a greater being than i was aware of what was about to happen. at least they don't have any issues with home loans etc.

1:01 am

justafreep

That's a good thing in the midst of the difficult, indeed

1:01 am

SueMagee

That’s so good of you, rose. It must be such a relief to them.

1:02 am

grannyrose

so..... how is everyone else doing?

1:04 am

rbud

speaking of signing over homes, I've been trying to manage to transfer this house to our son, as I'm not in the best of health. So far I think it's going okay, I've filed paperwork so that it transfers to him upon my demise. He seemed pretty unexcited about the responsibility until I pointed out how hard it is to actually own/buy a home these days.

1:04 am

SueMagee

Probably better than I deserve, rose! Thank you for asking!

1:05 am

grannyrose

good for you rbud. and Sue, of course you deserve to be doing okay.

1:05 am

rbud

so now he's all excited about "going off grid" and installing solar, stuff like that - I told him he could do that ANY TIME and save me all the monthly bills I've had a hard time keeping up with! :P

1:06 am

SueMagee

I ought to get out of bed, but it’s so good to hear from you, rose!

1:06 am

grannyrose

i wish you luck with that rbud. i hope he does do it for you.

1:07 am

rbud

thanks. he lives here, too, it's the least he could do, haha.

1:07 am

grannyrose

thanks Sue. i'll pop in every now and again. try to catch up with you all.

1:08 am

rbud

yes, very good to hear from you. it

1:09 am

rbud

it's so quiet in here most nights.

1:09 am

ursh

it is 8am here and i have fireworks - will keep you and your family in my prayers rose - and happy mothers day to all

1:10 am

grannyrose

yes i noticed. maybe i'll give sprite a poke and get her to come in.

1:10 am

grannyrose

oh thank-you ursh.

1:12 am

grannyrose

oh, oh, before you all disappear. my eldest son, who only recently let me back into his life after 20 years, today told me he loved me. was the best Mother's day gift i have ever received.

1:14 am

rbud

oh my gosh, that's wonderful!!

1:16 am

grannyrose

apparently my ex's mother has spent 20 years filling his ears with utter lies. thank heavens she has died, otherwise i would have to commit murder.

1:19 am

rbud

sounds like someone who might have richly deserved it! why do some people get so much joy from putting down others, I often wonder.

1:20 am

grannyrose

i don't understand it either rbud.

1:43 am

grannyrose

time for me to go. need to pack my bags ready for tomorrow. ttfn.

The Ainu are the indigenous people of the lands surrounding the Sea of Okhotsk, including Hokkaido Island, Northeast Honshu Island, Sakhalin Island, the Kuril Islands, the Kamchatka Peninsula, and Khabarovsk Krai, before the arrival of the Yamato Japanese and Russians. These regions are referred to as Ezo in historical Japanese texts.
