Just spent the last hour persuading my PC that it wants to work. Turns out that the left click on the mouse has stopped working. Have replaced mouse with spare, but I now have two of these wireless USB connectors plugged in . One for the mouse and one for the keyboard. Both are Logitech so you would think they would condescend to work from one port.

If it is a 'Logitech Unifying receiver' and both mouse and keyboard are compatible then all you need to do is go into the options and set it up to use just the one.

Thanks for the information. When I started up the PC just before reading your message it muttered something about Logitech unifying software. So after reading your message I now have everything working on one receiver.

My mum is still NBM, as there is still a small leak, but on Tuesday she might have to go back into surgery, then ICU.

She still will probably be in hospital in 11 days when my sister goes on a 14 day holiday.

Then still in when she comes back

My sister hasn't told our dad that she might might have to back to surgery until it happens as our dad will think the worst.

I just need this crap to end, I don't care I'm spending £25 a week on the tube, and food on top of that. I'm even helping my sister pay for her tube fares.

Even if it cost £50 a time I would still do it.

Oh Hom3r I'm truly sorry to hear that your Mum may need to have further surgery just try and stay strong for both your parents. I agree with you and your sister's decision not to tell your Dad as naturally he will think the worse as that is what we tend to do.

What ever you have to do,or spend, will all be worth it when you get your Mum home. Just wish for all your sakes it was sooner rather than later. <<hugs>>

Telling your Dad about the possibility of a further visit to the operating theatre at this stage would just too much, if the hospital is holding fire on making a decision then I guess there may be a chance she won't need one and your Dad will have been put through a lot of worry needlessly.

Stay strong sweetie.

Hom3r, our thoughts are with you and hope your mum is better soon. Having a parent in hospital and far away is really worrying.

My younger sister is keeping us updated with my mothers progress. Heart and BP are now OK but she seems to be suffering from confusion and the hospital want to keep her in under observation.

weenie · 26-07-2015, 18:15

It must be so very hard when a parent is ill or in hospital and not living close enough to just pop in and visit them. I know my brother in law finds this to be the hardest part of when his parents are in hospital or ill.

I feel very blessed that I live only a 15 minutes car journey away from my Mum and Dad as I can only imagine what a worry is to be far away and the helpless feeling you must feel at being such a distance away.

I hope your Mum gets better soon heero.

I need a job arghhhh

Stuart · 28-07-2015, 15:16

Arrghh... Been waiting in my office all day for a Courier to phone me, as Apple swapped one of our deliveries at work for one for Fremantle Media and UPS were supposed to contact me to arrange a swap.

Instead, I leave my office for 10 minutes to take a file to another deparment, and the courier turns up, waits a couple of minutes, then buggers off without leaving a contact number or reference. Not happy.

House got robbed yesterday.

Bizarrely they took key chains and car keys but not the cars. Didn't take much from the house itself either, just small pickings (and my Kindle

)

Lack of joined up care in one of our local hospitals.....

I was admitted late last Friday night, and one of the outcomes was that I was fitted with a catheter and bag (joy...).

When I was discharged on Sunday, they told me an appointment would be made for approx. 10 days after the catheter was fitted, to remove it and scan the area to check if everything was OK. As the appointment was going to come through the post, I left it until Thursday to check up - I found out that no communication had happened between the Surgical Assessment Ward and Urology, but they promised they would contact them and arrange an appointment. I rang up today to follow up on this, and found out nothing had been done, and no appointments could be made because no one was available to do so in the Urology Ward (I even badgered the direct number out of them, which was not too easy).

Now I am being told that an appointment can't be made until Monday (which was when I should have been seen), and it will probably be in two weeks from Monday.

Joy....

Sorry to hear your house getting broken into as it is a terrible feeling knowing that someone has invaded the privacy of your home.
