Hi Angela

Sorry you have had to join our "merry" band and that you are having to cope with a hip replacement as well as MM.

I have had four hip replacement operations! I had an infected hip so had to have one replacement in two stages!! It is a very straight forward operation. I had all mine by epidural which isn't half as frightenining…[Read more]

Keeping every thing crossed over here too for Friday, Vicki and Colin!

Ours is a pretty basic hoist, where the controls only move it up and down and we have to manually move the arm out and into the back of the car. But when I was lookin on ebay it was the only…[Read more]

I am glad you both had a good time!

Keeping my fingers crossed that you get to the next stage.

Hi Gill

I am so glad that things aren't so grim for Stephen as first feared and that the radiotherepy is offering some hope of considerable improvement.

I do hope Stephen is able to get back driving soon. I have jsut begun driving again after five months. It feel very liberating. I have got as far as 20 miles on one trip. Unfortunately I…[Read more]

Hi Tina

I am just over a week over six rounds of CDT. I still feel very tired, especially in the evenings, but I'm glad to say I am sleeping OK, apart from toilet stops!!

At least my taste is coming back, but, unfortunately, I am having problems with my teeth! Have been to the Dentist twice. If things don't improve I am going to have to…[Read more]

Dear Keith

Sorry that you are having to cope with the glucose discrepancies as well as the MM. Diabetes is a horrible complication I do hope your specialist can offer some helpful suggestions. It is hard to keep our spirits up when things are so difficult. Difficult for those around us!

Hope things get better for you soon.

Mavis

Hi Deborah
it does sound strange that your mums consultant did not offer an opinion,but I suppose if the trials are on offer at this hospital,it could be seen to either not supporting the trials,against his own believe.So I think your mum has to be very careful here.
If you go to the home page there is MUKS three trials,plus if you type trials…[Read more]
