Hi Clare

Don't have any experience of brats but my partner had sct last November 2012. He was very poorly no doubt and it isn't pleasant, but he got through it. He is still recovering and gets very tired however we were scared before hand. We went for it because it was Colin's final decision and I supported him. I wouldn't say it's easy but any…[Read more]

I'm exhausted just thinking about it liz….medication, injections, thermometers….clacton on sea sounds good (no offence to clacton :-)). You have a great time, all the usual precautions and a bit extra from the consultant 🙂

Enjoy

Hi Helen

So pleased to hear that your back is no mm, those slipped discs are painful too though! Glad to hear you've got a solution with the hair. Have you considered different colour….again but with less peroxide in. I am sure there are Eco bleaches cos there was that scare about pregnant women dying hair? Not seen my hairdresser friend but…[Read more]

Hi Gill and Eve, I for one am not upset by your posts. I read them as I would read my wife's posts in the future if you can understand what I mean. I have said to Mo she must carry on and live a another life and when with luck she kisses my great Grandsons/daughters head I will be there, my spirit will not leave her side. And, I am sure, that…[Read more]

Hi Guys and Gals, I do not know where I lost this post but reading it I have missed a whole lot of questions —:-| Sorry. All seem to have been answered by other more generous souls – thanks.

Hi Jan, I actually use 2 pill boxes. One I keep for pain killers and the other I use for medications.

Hi Helen,

Re the hair…..can't you have a colour on it that has less bleach in it? There must be Eco friendly blonde colours out there as some people are allergic to the bleach. I will ask my friend hair dresser and see what she says….worth spending even more money on the hair and shoes etc if it makes you feel better. Get your daughter to…[Read more]

Hi Emma,

So glad to hear you mum is out of hospital and treatment has been effective 🙂 I can understand your mum needing to build her confidence but she has done so well, I also understand your worry about when is it going to come back 🙁 I am the same for Colin but trying so hard to push it from my mind so that we can enjoy ourselves…[Read more]

Yes, you are so right Jan.

I have found the same,it is really a series of little things that are said and on passed on. My wife actually asked what I wanted doing with my rings actually. But there are other silly little (you might say) things. For instance my Granddaughter (9 years of age)went to a great deal of trouble to pick me out a…[Read more]

Hi Ladies, Yes I saw the Palliative Care nurse today and she has now switched me onto Morphine based drugs, but retaining the Paracetamol. I take 40mg every 12 hours which is a lot easier. My backup has changed to zormorth which I place under my tongue when in pain. Hopefully this will hold it all in check until my next assessment on the…[Read more]
