To give your time to another human being offering support, listening, and accepting them without judgement is an amazing act of kindness, Iām sure you made Shelley feel so reassured today. It sounds as though you got so much out of this exchange yourself, if everyone could communicate this way life would be so much better for us all.
Totes with you on this disgusting white coat crap. What a bunch of wankers. Could rant for days on this subject esp as my Grandfather was a doctor - he had a vocation - unlike the grifters of today who love the money and status. They are just exam passers with a superiority simplex, and made up of the sort of people one avoided at school. Anyway if you ever want a rantorama call me up.
The GP I had growing up WAS a Doctor. I miss her terribly because I feel I haven't had a real doctor since she retired. She would actually diagnose things in her office and handle things right there. Things that a GP should know. These days all they do is pass the smallest things off to "specialists" so they can all partake in the š°. Scratching each others backs. I am sure specialists are needed but not to the extent they do these days. I waited 7 months for some results from a "specialist" once. Stress for 7 months! Oh you need this test.. it will take this many months for results.. oh and after that you will need this test... and on and on... I will never forget. This the wonderful , once great country of Canada that my British parents immigrated to back in the 50's. Bless my Dad is not here to see this.
Oh I am on a rant tonight aren't I. Thanks Kate š¤ xo
Lovely meaningful Wednesday....nothing more meaningful than putting Shelley at her ease,hopefully she went back in,confidence boosted,had her scan and thought about Mrs Tiggywinkle whilst she was in there,job done! I wasnāt clear if u did get the dye today Abi? If u did make sure u drink lots of fluids .......I always get a terrible blinding headache after the dye,I think u need to flush it out.
Here I was dreamily listening to the tales of Beatrix Potter and BOOM you went from Tom Kitten to shagging on a plane wtf.....I am traumatised š but impressed nonetheless
Hi Abi, Hi everyone š glad to have you back Abs, we missed you š literally just started listening so a quick check in, am coming to the show Sunday but my daughter's dad has let her down this weekend so I am trying to sort last minute childcare! Am on it as not missing it! And the confirmation email is hiding out somewhere š¤š so no stress at all š
Hope everyone is ok, and you are feeling better Abi šš will comment properly once im caught up with your news, love and hugs to all the SS family xxx
Enjoy Sunday Rachel. Wish I could be there and meet some of the SubStack family in person. Sunday evening is a nightmare for me to get home by train where I live š I was lucky enough to go to Backyard for the GETTR evening but missed Abi and again to the GETTR football party. I also met Abi at the Two Bridges comedy night so I canāt complain.
Thank you Jan, sad you are not able to come so hopefully next time! Yes completely understand, the travelling isn't always easy is it, especially on a Sunday, I have to get back to put a child to bed so no catching the last train from Waterloo for me anymore šš¤£ those were the days! Xx
Hi Abi.. Really enjoyed your story about Shelley. Really got to me.. so beautiful I cried as I listened. You are an angel Abi. Bless you and Shelley šā¤ļø I hope she is ok too.
I saw a clip of a Canadian Dad @answers4Sean on twitter last night who lost his young son to the jab. Son wanted to play hockey and could not play without jab. So Dad trusted our govt and took son for jab and he did not survive.š I think he was 10 yrs old. Poor little soul only wanted to play Hockey. Can't imagine this Dad's anguish šš He was literally raging at Trudeau in the clip. I felt for him so much. I have a son named Sean who lived to play hockey. We had such fun. He's a Dad with kids of his own now. But I couldn't help but think what if that nightmare had happened to me. Imagine telling your Son .. no you can't play hockey. Relationship would be damaged. Or.. taking him for the jab and he doesn't make it. Horrifying Despicable crime against humanity. There are no words for this horror. I cry just thinking about it. Hope you don't mind me sharing Sean's story.
Thanks for todays meaningful Wednesday Abi ā¤ļø
PS .. I have a tiny Tale of Peter Rabbit book on my bedside table š„° I loved your story about Buttons and Jockie (I think you said Jockie) .. We had a White Westie Terrier we named Jock back in the 80's. š
Well Abi, you managed to get your CT scan and the mile high club in the same podcastš On a serious note, I hope your scan results are good.
Hospital care was no better in my experience 35 years ago when my young son had a rare cancer. Great Ormond Street hospital was brilliant, mainly run with Australian agency nurses, at the time. When a bed wasnāt available for Paulās chemo at GOS we had to go to our local hospital, Kings College, which was a nightmare. They even managed to lose Paulās file and his chemo was delayed! They later found it down the back of a radiatorš¤·āāļø I had to check everything that Kings did, drugs didnāt arrive on time, or the wrong dose was prescribed and sometimes even the wrong drugs. It was beyond stressful.
Ps I have all the Beatrix potter I kept for my granddaughter , going to look them out
And yeah dogs š¶ wonāt even allow them to jab my dog no danger āļø
You are a āļø amazing how you can do that itās remarkable just think of something else . I can do that a lot itās a defence mechanism āš¤ xx
Hope everything went well Abi. I'm sure that reaching out to Shelly in the way you did would have made a huge difference to her well being. Human goodness and compassion at its best.
I love the Beatrix potter books, loved reading them to my children when they were little.
All gone down the shitter , yip no masks on patients. Still full nazi up here get ur mask on itās our guidelines I donāt GAF Iām exempt
Iām so sorry hun š . This is awful my mother in law got papped off with a cracked rib for 4 months . She never wanted the 2nd jab nurse said aww u will be fine š±
Riddled she was , Then the surgery nurse found out she had cancer she said oh Iām sorry about that
My godmother said (now dead too ) when she died take them all the way hen . My hubby wonāt šš» too painful
Oh wow has me in š rgr Beatrix potter & Shelly tell u what , what a spiritual moment ā¤ļøš¤āšš» šÆ . God intervene today , Terry was with u I truly believe hun . š¤. Iām never stop reaching out to people ever . No way will they take away our interaction , touch. Yip me too Iāve done loads too
But not the mile high club ššš . Aww bless ya huni really touched my heart & Shelleyās . Aww could do with Shelly on here āļøš
Never change being you . Cause I wonāt stop being me warts and all . So grateful for the people Iāve interacted on ur channel with directly itās been very spiritual tbh
Where is the love ššš»ā keep spreading it all . My hubby has his head in his hands atm exhausted and feeling defeated . Men want to fix this but canāt . Ex army man ššš». We may feel powerless but we are defo not helpless . Gb u all xx š
Ps abi it was my kidneys last years with the shedders .... do u really want to know how bad it was as I willing to share it as no fk lefts to give ?
So this is how it goes set the scene up in Skye refused entry into a chemsit due to being exempt Aug 21 . Had to stand outside to wait on painkillers the night and day ones .
Felt crippled sweating , it was hot but defo not like Majorca . š«. Hubby lost his phone ( another story š) so couldnāt get a hold of him while he is towing a caravan we had for a month š¤£ . He lost me he went over the Skye bridge and back looking for me , while I sat on a wall crying š and no fkr bothered as all masked up . š« š¤®. Got him eventually got to camp up staffin ok . Felt crippled kidneys so sore . Well when I woke up in the morning I was sweating
I canāt believe Iām actually sharing this eh . I was sweating omg I had pissed myself š¤¦āāļøš«š±š¤£š
Never in my fkn life ever through pregnancyās or drunken nights ever . So aye thatās it
So look up a GIF caravan fast as we were warp speed as much as poss down the road 6 hrs . Both had shedders
So thatās it really . My youngest had stayed the night in Edinburgh with her pal at her 18th her pal just had pzifer so šÆ
Was that . š¤¦āāļøšš»š«š±š«£ . Ffs no fks given now likes
Whatās the story with yāall missing the shagging on a plane part??!! That was the best part šfar too short an explanation imo....might have to make her go over that one again š
What a beautiful encounter with who sounds like a lovely young woman, and you were her blessing in a difficult moment, that is, as you say true Christianity š I hope Shelley is ok, my nephew has Asbergers and anxiety can be a very challenging aspect of it. Such a touching podcast today Abs, sending ā¤ā¤ one for you and one for Shelley xxx
To give your time to another human being offering support, listening, and accepting them without judgement is an amazing act of kindness, Iām sure you made Shelley feel so reassured today.

I absolutely agree with you Janice. My dad said yesterday that the days of the family doctor is over.
Our little GP practice was wonderful, it was like a little family . Now itās moved to bigger and better.
Itās not the same and feels very clinical and unfriendly.
Like I said to my dad, when youāre unwell, you donāt really care what GP you see, as long as you get sorted.
š
Aww, bless you Abi.
So glad your scan is over and totally understand your anxieties. It couldnāt have been pleasant.
Such a lovely conversation between you and Shelly, bless herš
Only you can go from Beatrix Potter to sex in the cityāŗļø.
You made a real difference today Abi so well done you.
A reassuring touch on the arm would have meant the world to that young lady š„°š„°š„°
Your pod tonight was heartwarming, it really was, so thankyouššš
Enjoy the rest of your evening š„°š„°š„°
Hope everyone is ok
