Thanks Danielle - I share your hope on that one! Trust all is well with you. Take care xx

[@deloresjackson437]

I am sorry that you are feeling under the weather, but hope that you will be feeling much better soon. Heidi is absolutely adorable; she has such an expressive little face. Our trip to The Netherlands was cold and rainy, but there were bits of fun - tulips and yarn. Of course, we came home with colds that we are trying to get rid of. Take care and I am looking forward to our next episode. ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Delores - I'm glad you had a good (if wet and chilly) trip to the Netherlands - hope the colds are soon gone. Thanks and take good care xx

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Hi Lesley, I hope you continue to feel better. Every sympathy with the grumbling appendix. Mine grumbled all through my teens and early twenties. They grumbled once too often, and I had them out. It just happened to be 4 weeks before our wedding! Have a good weekend, take care. X

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Blimey, Angela - that was cutting it fine! I hope it didn't have any impact on the big day! Thanks and take care xx

[@annakatris3583]

Hello Leasley, sorry to hear you are poorly. Rest is the best. The weather is changing here in Oz, from stinking hot to cool and a wee drop of rain. Lovely sweater weather. 🇦🇺😁🧶🧦

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Liza - me too! Definitely much better thanks - hope all is well with you xx

[@kalenreichert]

That sounds so scary and painful! My sister-in-law had to have an emergency appendectomy a few years ago. Praying yours never rumbles again. ❤️‍🩹

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - I'm looking for a non-grumbling future too! Hope you are well xx

[@janedaniel7288]

Hi Lesley, feel better soon and make sure Himself keeps an eye on you. The good news is there is another Bank Holiday just around the corner for you to enjoy. Hope the appendix stop grumbling and keep quiet from now on. Have a lovely weekend. xxJane 🐑🌼

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Jane - defiinitely looking forward to the next bank holiday - especially as it contains my favourite drumming event, so it won't exactly be quiet! Hope you and yours are all in fine fettle. xx

[@susanmarshall3709]

I love the term “grumbling appendix”!! My girlfriend had a similar issue with her gall bladder and it took over 2 months to get to surgery to take it out. Just to be on the cautious side, the medical team kept ordering tests but several times, her gallbladder was not acting out. I am glad that you got to take the rest you needed. Feel better.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Susan. It doesn't really sound like a medical condition, does it? More like a bad tempered family member! Hope your friend is all better now. Take good care xx

[@karlamilton5281]

I had appendicitis in my 20’s. I had never been that sick before or since. It was my first experience with surgery so that was a wake up. I do hope yours does not grumble again. I love the red sweater on you. Very nice. Take care. ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Karla - Hope you are well and that life is treating you kindly. Thanks and take care xx

Thanks Karen - you too xx

[@jacquelinesharp7374]

I hope you are feeling better soon. I am glad it didn’t turn out to be gallstones, I hear those are terribly painful. Our weather here is Alberta has been weird too. We thought spring was here, then it snowed, then melted and got sunny, then more snow today. Mother Nature needs to make up her mind. That first birthday after a loved one passes away is always just the worst.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - hope your weather settles, and that you have a long and pretty spring. Thanks and take care xx

[@rosemaryedwards3293]

Hope you soon feel a lot better! You are lucky that you only had a 3 hour round trip to A&E - often in the UK you have to wait much longer! Really like your little lap blanket that you made - I'm sure whoever gets it will appreciate it.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Rosemary -having spoken to someone who was at the same A&E department at a different time, and there for over ten hours, I do realise how lucky we were. Thanks so much and take care xx

[@elizabethclendenning4165]

Oh Leslie, so sorry to hear you have been poorly. 😢 Grumbling appendix, yes mine went from complaining to require removing when I was 11. Sending happy, healthy wishes in your direction. Enjoy your podcasts as always. As a note on my Canadian weather, Easter weekend was snowing and or raining. Improving as we reach this weekend, we are sitting at 7°C and we have yellow crocus popping up! Spring is coming 😊. Keep well. Elizabeth

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Elizabeth - much appreciated. Glad to hear that spring is on the way. Take very good care xx

[@heathertucker7056]

Sorry to hear you’ve been poorly this week. Hopefully they will be able to sort you out soon and you were able to be seen quickly. Not very nice though. I hope you are able to enjoy your meal out with your friends as that always gives you a real boost if you’re a bit off colour! Glad too that sweet Heidi is OK after her dental procedure. Bless her she is such a cute girl! Take care x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Heather - yes, I was able to be out with friends, which was good fun. Hope all is well with you. Take good care xx

[@EPMunzert]

I've never heard of a grumbling appendix! I feel like March was a blur for me as i dealt with a very bad case of bronchitis. I'm still trying to catch up at work as i took a week off and worked half days the following week. If i could take an hour nap every afternoon, that would be great. But i am grateful it was no worse. Take care Les.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Elizabeth - sorry that you've been poorly - that sounds nasty. I get the catching up and the fatigue thing - I felt as though I was on half speed for most of last week. Hope you are able to rest, when you can, and that you feel the benefit of it. Take good care xx

[@angrypanda5042]

Hi Lesley. Boy, you've been having a year. Glad you're feeling better and hope all body parts behave, at least reasonably well. Maybe life is throwing your quota of unpleasantness at you early this year so that it will be a lovely rest of the year. We can hope. 😊 Take very best care of yourself. See you next time. 💖💕

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much. Yes - a nice rest of year would work well. Hope life is treating you kindly. Take good care xx

[@NadineTouzet]

Sorry you’ve been unwell. Do be careful with gallstones though. I ignored the symptoms for months and months and used all sorts of herb infusions and painkillers for what I supposed was bad digestion, until I was rushed to have emergency surgery abroad during a work assignment 4 years ago. The pain was as you described, but at liver level, front and back, and the worst at night, and it ruined my sleeping pattern until recently. Hopefully you’ll feel better soon. Sending positive vibes and sunshine after the warmest ever day yesterday (probably the same across where you live). Cheers xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Nadine - sorry you went through that pain and surgery. I am glad that I'm going to have the ultrasound, as this should identify any nasties. Enjoy the sunshine and take good care xx

[@katgore99]

Feel better beautiful

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Too kind, Kat - thanks and hope you are doing well xx

[@cherylcarlson3315]

You are lucky. My appendix went from hello to surgical emergency with sepsis in 24 hrs. Currently predicting cold snap here now all fruit trees blooming. Enduring myasthenia drug shortage and feeling very vulnerable as improvement disappeared when couldn't get regular med. Needed to see someone else coping today

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Cheryl - oh goodness. Glad you were treated quickly and successfully when the grumbling stopped! Hope the meds situation is sorted quickly - that's not a worry you need. Thanks and take very good care of yourself xx

[@carolroy5435]

That's 2 weeks in a row I've looked around the room to see who you were talking to after your opening statement. 😂 I went thru the exact same symptoms (sans womitting) 2 months ago and have to go for an ultrasound. I had no idea an appendix could grumble. I always thought it was full on tantrum or nothing. The things you learn on a knitting podcast, eh?! 😂

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Carol - sorry you've been through it too. It's really no fun, is it? May our appendices be forever peaceful! xx Take care xx

[@Janet-ov7zx]

I hope you are feeling much better by the time you read this, and that your appendix is in a much better mood! harpingJanet

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Janet - Appendix has gone back to behaving, so fingers crossed. Hope life is being good to you. xx

[@FrankDudgeon]

Like another commenter I have had a bad spell recently that echos some of your symptoms. I had a couple nights of very bad back pain that kept me from sleeping. My doctor has sent me on a series of blood tests, an ultrasound and next week a bone CT scan. She ruled out a couple of the scarier options - gallstones was also mentioned. I now feel a bit better but still have trouble sleeping. Kind of groggy most days, with spells of “not too bad.” T’ain’t no fun, so I really hope your ailment goes away or gets treated successfully. All the best.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Frank. Sorry you've been going through it. Glad you are feeling better and hope that the sleeping returns to normal - that's no fun at all. Wishing you quick treatments and good results. Take very good care xx

[@lindas.patton7552]

So sorry you have been feeling so bad. Will keep you in my prayers. Hopefully this will pass and not happen again. I have just been having pain in my bacl. and legs. Which way do I limps? LOL I am hoping for sunshine and warmer weather. Take care, Betty says Hello.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Linda (and Betty). I hope your pains are soon gone - maybe soothed by higher temperatures. Thanks so much and take good care xx

[@lindas.patton7552]

@NotQuiteEnoughYarn today is my birthday and one of calls was from my cousin Debbie. Her son had a heart attack last night, but he got fast treatment with a stint being put in. We are grateful that tge ambulance was well equipped and could tell the hospital what was going on. One artery was 100 percent blocked! He was doing well this morning. I will have a late birthday lunch with friend later. I hope you are on the mend. Take care.

Thank you xx

[@melsmerk9262]

Going to the hospital is never pleasant, even in the best of situations. Gastrointestinal illness is the WORST. Not only do you get to experience the symptoms, but you get so tired. I'm hoping that your ultrasound proves uneventful. The good news is that if you would ever need surgery, it is a simple laparoscopic procedure rather than incisional. Hopefully you don't ever need to consider the method in your future. Please rest up! Sending love. XO

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - yes, I was looking into the procedure (good old Dr Google!), and it looks like a short recovery, if it's needed. Let's hope it was a blip. Thanks and take very good care xx

[@johannabliss5406]

I think you need to look for better adventures (lol)
