My mum

Hello have had a hard time of late losing Malcolm to columnaris I think and have been dealing with stress at work which is usual. But Friday morning my Mum was rushed into hospital with chest pains she had had another heart attack. She had a pacemaker fitted last year but hasn't settled well and has there has been lots of problems just can't get the warfarin levels right due to her having a rare blood type and to top it off my step grandma is in hospital to with a variety of infections and she unfortunately has dimentia also. I wanted to ask if you could send a prayer their way I'm sure it can only help thank you for reading I'm in a sad place right now

I think she could go by Princess. Although, I will not be calling her mate Prince.

 

Lol you could call him Lancelot

 

They will be in my prayers. I hope they both feel better soon.

 

It kind of looks like she's blowing kisses. Princess it is.

 

I'm so sorry

I had a Princess that turned out to be a Prince.

 

I've seen her lay the eggs

Haha. That's how I knew who was female, Sunshine, and who was male, Prince. LOL.

 

Just thought I would update and thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers I think they worked my mums blood has been regulated yay and she may be coming out of hospital tomorrow. My Nanna is still very poorly but I still have faith in her she is tough as old boots and Cichlidnuts blood parrot got a name my mum even asked about her today bless, Princess you have one more fan and now I've got to get some for my big tank when I get it otherwise she will never forgive me. Hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep tonight

 

Hooray! I'm glad to hear your mother is doing better. Best wishes for your grandmother's recovery.

Hey KinezumI thank you hopefully fingers crossed she will be let loose tomorrow. I just wish I could go visit my Nanna but with work and looking after my mum she lives over 100 miles away so it is really doing my head in

 

I'm sorry, everything at once must be so stressful. Hopefully you can take a break and play with HoudinI and feel a little better.

 

It is I didn't add my step grandad died four weeks ago and my aunty and I found out my uncle died about 12 months before and my family chose not to mention it as I apparently have enough on looking after my mum its a long story of rehabilitation. It can be hard work I've had nothing but hurt just lately I try to hold it all in but sometimes I need to let it out I think losing Malcolm was the last straw. Sorry for getting a bit deep just wanted to share. HoudinI is being a delightful distraction bless his monkey ness

 

Ugh that's awful. I'm sorry things are going so poorly for you now. I know you're really busy with everything that's going on, but I've found when I'm distracted with something interesting it helps to take my mind off of things. Maybe pick a fish you've been interested in, and research them? For example, you could learn everything there is to know about discus fish, or start learning about saltwater tanks, or something to that effect. (In your small amount of spare time, of course. ) That way you have something interesting to think about, and you get something out of it too.

Thank you I've been taken by blood parrots and am hopeful when I finally get my big tank I'll get a couple I have been trying to keep myself occupied by getting the right stocking for it but have so much going on but I do still have HoudinI and he has been super cute of late think he may be a little bored in his tank but hopefully getting some mts for him within the next couple of days to keep him company

 

HI Sarah - I am so sorry you and your family have been having such poor luck lately. I'm glad to hear your mum is doing better. Fingers crossed for your Nanna. I hope everything goes well for her as well. I am keeping you and yours in my prayers. I think maybe HoudinI knows you need the extra cuteness right now to help perk you up a bit. I am hopefully getting a pair of blood parrots tomorrow. Kind of falling in love with them as of late. My good lfs has a 1/2 price sale on all fish the 31st of every month and I am hoping he has some.

 

Hello LorI thank you it is payday for me so I am going to get some supplies to re do Malcolm's tank so that will keep me occupied. Hope you get your blood parrots let me know and post piccies if you do

 

I will be sure to post picutres if I get them.

And totally unrelated - I was feeding Simon yesterday and a pellet stuck to my finger. He came right up to me and picked it off. I was thrilled!
