Softly, gently, painstakingly catching up with the latest chaos. A few thoughts.
@jenny2603 Add me to the list of Frauen with RSI caused by tapping so many laugh/like reactions to your posts. I'm a total ninny when it comes to medical matters, to the extent that I almost have panic attacks when getting results from the eye-scan thingy when I get my eyes tested, so I HUGELY appreciate your matter-of-fact, positive account of your treatment and tests.
Absolute opposite of Jack's approach to spreading panic and misinformation for sympathy.
It's interesting pondering Nigella's reaction to reading Jack's tweets, as she surely has now after being tagged into the rescue tweets.
Now, we've been speculating that Nigella has been distancing herself recently, having been made somewhat aware of the grift. I wouldn't be surprised if Jack had been reaching out to her ahead of the Graun interview, offering up some kind of "excuse" for her (was Nigella's word for it 'inexplicable', I can't remember?) precarious finances. Poor me, pity me Mom, I still need support, it's the tram/whiskey addiction and my inbuilt chaos, I can't help it.
I could imagine Nigella marking down Jack as still a bit hard done by and vulnerable. Somewhat sympathetic, but trying not to get involved anymore.
But now...Nigella has famously lost a lot of people to cancer: her mum, her sister and of course, her first husband. [Who I was
on an online, early days of the internet, email group, sort of forum thing, back in the day. In Jack parlance: I was therefore a close friend].
What I'm trying to say is that Nigella knows her
tit about this sort of thing. She certainly knows that there's a massive, incalculable difference between a scare and a diagnosis. And then a massive gulf between a diagnosis and treatment.
So, as willing to believe the best in people as I believe our Big Suze to be (it's her achilles heel), I doubt she would have much sympathy for this latest sob story. In fact, her sympathy might just have run out.
Anyway, just mithering, with no evidence.
