General Chat

Morning Joyce, I missed you as was watching tv for a bit.

I have been thinking about Ilonka so much, bless her, and hope the op goes ok, how far will the leg be taken to? She will need all her strength to cope with this awful accident but she sounds a determined lady and has a lot of family members to support her.

I wonder if later on she could get inspiration from Ash with his go karting and all the things he has done since July, maybe Izzy could send her a message from Ash or he could email her.

Will try and talk with you soon, maybe this afternoon, will text you if I get a chance.

take care of yourself
love

Thinking of you all and hope she makes a good and speedy recovery

Such a tragedy and with little ones to care for. Prayers and thoughts to IIonka and family.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this Joyce, how devastating for the entire family. We join you in hoping and praying for a smooth recovery.

Such an awful thing to happen to anyone, especially with a young family.

Hoping all went well with today's op. and Ilonka will recover well and soon be back with her family.

The system over there must be very different to over here- Well done to the Dutch health service for amputating a leg, get it healed and a prosthesis fitted in 3 weeks AND learn to walk on it.

feel for the family right now, although once she is healed, up and walking there is no reason why she shouldn't go back to being the mummy she was, people ( and children) are quick to adapt

Joyce, thinking about Ilonka today, hope all goes well, keep us posted and send her all our love

Hope you are ok now, nice to chat with you yesterday

Love

How far up have they taken the leg off?

Hopefully the morphine ( or whatever they give her) will kick in soon.

Hopefully she'll be home in a day or two in a wheelchair, especially as its christmas

IIonka I am sending positive thoughts and prayers in your direction. I shall add you and your family to m daily quiet time

Healing thoughts for Ilonka. I hope her little ones can still enjoy their Christmas day, although they will be missing their mummy. Poor little souls must be so upset and confused and my heart goes out to them.
((((((((hugs )))))))) to the family and I hope they can all be together at some point over Christmas.

Morning Joyce, I don't think we have spoken before, but i felt i had to post on this thread, you may have heard about my 20 year old son Ash who was very badly hurt in Afghanistan in July this year, he has lost both his legs above the knee, and his thumb and some fingers on his left hand.
I have read about the awful accident that your relative has suffered, and i just wanted to let you know that despite the awfulness of the situation right now, things will improve, the modern technology that is available now means that amputees can lead an amazing fulfilling life. Things will be difficult, and some days she will feel very upset, but i know that her motherly instinct will help her to get up and about quickly and her children are young enough to be very accepting of their mummys new condition.
Please could you pass on our very best wishes from our whole family, and our wishes for them to remain strong and supportive to one another. May 2011 bring them fortune and happiness.

Hello Dutch...positive thoughts for Ilonka, l do hope the pain stops soon!!
Bless her!! I'm sure the children will except the situation no matter what.

Love jude xxxx
