Apparently she's already had breast cancer. I'm sure they will remove it to clear margins pronto, since it the deadliest of all skin cancers.
My love of Maui and inability to put sunscreen on my back resulted in removal of 4 basal cell skin cancers in 2019. Don't skimp on sunscreen, I learned the hard way.
Prayers and support to the Princess!
Romeo and Juliet. The Bishop's Wife. The Godfather.
It's a story. A saga. An entertainment.
King Geo learning not to stutter so he could give an uplifting speech in WW II during the war.
The princesses giving hope to the UK populace in WW II. Di's tragic marriage.
I know. Now that we know they are real people, and boy did Di and Chas teach us THAT quick, it's not the same.
But you know, Queen Victoria's wedding and more, what she was BURIED WITH IN HER COFFIN!
I love that stuff.
The gossip. The gossip. Give me all the gossip.
Don't love it enough to buy a tabloid, but you know, if you ever saw the movie--The Madness of King George, where in the end, after all the madness, he's out there in his wig with his family saying
"Smile.
Wave.
It's what we're here for."
THAT's for sure. They aren't there for much else anymore.
About as much use as a Disney princess, their own Princesses.
No, maybe not as much use, as the Disney princesses can keep the kids quiet for quite a while!
So I understand for certain that some aren't into the tabloid gossip. I myself prefer the plastic surgery failed makeovers. But I don't understand the sort of "meanness". Just sayin. I don't. And it makes me wonder what it comes out of. Maybe just our general human meanness, because boy, we got that in heaps to be sure.
OMG, I don't think people hate princesses! I want to be one! In fact, I wanted to be either Queen Elizabeth II or the Pope, but alas, it didn't happen. They both had beautiful clothes, wore fancy hats, and had nice rides.
I had complications, was back in the ER, twice. 1st one, readmitted for 2 days. 2nd one, for at least a week.
If Kate is going through any of that hell, she won’t be feeling like she’s living in any darn palace, that’s for sure. I feel bad for her. It was AWFUL.
What kind of surprises me here is how much we hate princesses?
Or is it just her?
I kind of don't get it? Is it the wealth thing?
WAIT! It's that whole American Revolution thing!
We didn't quite get over it yet?
Anyway, I have quite loved watching the Royals all my life. I mean they provide us a world of good gossip, do they not? My favorite bit has always been Charles wishing he were a tampon. THAT one truly got to me! And Camilla makes just the loveliest Cruella since Cruella herself. Talk about a true survivor! She's only missing the dalmatian pups.
Alas, LovingHusband would deny us our levity, but personally I am facing down the Big C. again this week, and I have to say I was just telling my daughter this morning, if I couldn't LAUGH about it all, I cannot see a reason to even TRY to survive it! Right? Irony and laughter are the only things that have got me THIS far! Love helps, but if it's love without laughter, fo-ged-aboud-it.
However, despite the planned nature of this surgery three days after the operation, the Telecinco program 'Fiesta' has given the latest update on Kate Middleton's condition.
Specifically, it has been the journalist Concha Calleja, who has revealed how the Princess of Wales is doing, with increased concerns over her recovery.
"I have spoken to an aide at the Royal Household and they assure me that something has gone wrong in the postoperative period. The situation is so serious that that is why they have decided to send these two statements," Calleja alleged.
"The last time we saw her was at the Christmas lunch and from then on she began to feel unwell, Kate was admitted on 28 December and is in the hands of the doctors for several days.
"I believe that the Palace will issue a new communiqué in the next few days explaining better what is happening, the operation was serious in itself, lasting several hours and with a certain risk, a risk that did not occur on the operating table but in the postoperative period."
Takeaway: Never eat the figgy pudding.
Maybe Kate does head stands 1/2 the day to keep her face from falling .
It must suck always having to keep up appearances 24/7. Maybe she wants to lay around in her sweats with no make up on for a while. I know I would if I was her.
They aien't bust sitting in a hospital bed. The royals have a suite of rooms, so I'm sure she's recuperating in an apartment-like setting for a couple of weeks to ensure she has 24/7 care and quality rest. No doubt she'll emerge from the hospital looking fabulous.
I was in the hospital for eight days a couple of years ago for gallbladder removal surgery and pancreatitis, and I wasn't back to full speed for about four months. Kate will likely need the entire couple of months she's taking to recuperate, and good for her.
May The Lord touch her and be with her family during this difficult time.
King Charles is in the hospital for something prostate-related. Did they say not cancer for him?
Which means it could be cancer. (I hope it’s not)
What did you do today? I coped with myriad dementia problems with my husband. He can’t understand why I put a wool scarf around his neck when he went outside, and now, back in the house, he doesn’t want to take it off though our thermostat is at 76 degrees. Earlier I figured out a way to have a rare private conversation that husband couldn't hear; I talked for half an hour with a care agency CEO explaining my husband’s issues, which include losing ability to speak and understand. CEO explained options in hiring the right caregiver. I washed and dried the towels that were still wet from showering my husband last night, as he no longer knows how to shower himself. I unpacked the walker that arrived today as I worried about introducing it to my husband, who has difficulty standing up by himself now. I cleaned and changed batteries in husband’s hearing aids, adjusted them with his phone app, and explained to him what they are and how to put them on (he's been wearing them for 10 years but no longer can manage them by himself). I dropped off his glasses at the optometrist’s five minutes from home for repair. I didn't take husband as I didn't think it would go well - he gets confused. I went back to get the glasses, hurry-hurry because husband shouldn't be left alone for any length of time, then spent some time explaining to husband that he should take off his old glasses and wear the repaired ones. He didn’t quite get it, but he complied. And so on, all day every day.
I posted advice on here for others (I’m caregiving my 4th family dementia patient and like to help other caregivers if I can). And I posted my concern about the Princess of Wales. It was good being in touch with my fellow posters and I enjoyed the interaction. I rarely get out and seldom have time for phone conversations with friends, who mostly don't call because they know I have too many things to do to really kick back and have a frivolous conversation.
You didn't like my post, so sue me, but I liked posting it.
Sometimes alittle levity is therapeutic .
You could have just skipped over it .
Often someone asks a question that is not directly related to aging care . Often it’s marital issues , or fighting with siblings, or preserving inheritance .
Again , sorry . You are obviously stressed . I hope you are taking care of yourself as well as your LO.
Thank you for the correction. Not sure why I thought that .🤷♀️
Not anymore.
