Hi Paul I am so pleased that the dex is not affecting you Good luck with the rest of your treatment and do still pop in to this side of the site as well as the under 50s Stephen (husband with mm) is 56 and was diagnosed when he was 53. Stephen and dex did not go well together, and it is great to hear that it does not affect everybody in a negative way

All the best Gill

Ecstasy? Cannabis? I have had to stop Stephen climbing up into the loft to look for his kaftan, beads and psychodelic LPs.

We grew up in the 60s 🙂

On a far more serious note. It infuriates me to hear that hospitals are not willing to fund certain treatments eg Sharon's PET scans. I am no math buff and probably would not understand the results but I do wonder what the % of the health budget goes on self induced conditions

Dai has a far better way with words than I do but I am sure his eloquence speaks for all of us.

I hope Wednesday is a great celebration of Peter's life and I will be thinking of you.

Thanks to Eve for pointing out the attachments. What lovely photos and what treasured memories they will be

Much love and hugs from just one of your cyber friends Gillxxx

ICE for grabs

Sorry Jean I have no knowledge of this at all. Hopefully somebody will be able to explain. Have you thought of asking the nurses on this site? I know,from what other people have said, that they are very helpful.

I spent a little time in the States and there was a lovely saying our neighbours had (more than one saying but I will save others for another time:))
If they did not understand what I meant they would say "Cripple that, and run it past me one more time"

I am sure that the nurses on here are used to explaining things to people,like us, who have very limited knowledge of medicine in a way that is easier to understand

I do hope you get some explanations of what it all means.

Take care and stay in touch Gillxx

Dear Min

I am saddened and completely shocked to know that Peter has died. I really thought that they would find an antibiotic that would knock back his infections and he would recover.

I, like others on here, will be thinking of you in the days to come. Please keep in touch when you feel up to it.

Much love Gill xxx

This becomes addictive.
How about onomatopoeia from Eve's woman (clever one Eve considering your name is classed as the first woman:-)

I did think of the above word and know what it means but had to check the dictionary for the correct spelling. Is that cheating? It's getting the Os and As in the right place that I struggle with.

Gill leaving you all with

I am so pleased that you are more comfortable Bridget. I hope you are now managing to sleep and get some well earned rest

Love from Gillxx

[GillParticipant]

Thanks Dai you are a good teacher

I did not explain the game very well. The only thing I would add is that the word can be as simple or as complicated as you like

I'll take Dai's word and put

Mischief

ief is now up for grabs

Good luck for September Fingers crossed that you hear the magic words and your husband enjoys a long remission Gill

Yep a tanner in London too. Anybody remember the threepenny piece? and if you were lucky you got a silver joey in your change (small silver coin worth 3d 4 farthings (small copper coin) added up to 1 old penny (1d) and you could by a licorice black jack sweetie (wrapped) or a mint chew for a farthing.

There is a website called "a quarter of" where you can buy all these old time sweeties. My daughter bought Stephen a box of different sweets from there a couple of birthdays ago. They came in a wooden box and were each in a different white paper bag just like you used to get when I was a child.

I used to get 1 shilling pocket money (20 shillings to the pound) on a Saturday that was a tanner to get into the pictures and a tanner to buy rasberry and strawberry drops (fruit shaped boiled sweets)

Gosh I feel about 9 years old again:-)

[GillParticipant]

Get on your way for that holiday quickly Dai Bon Voyage Gill xx

[GillParticipant]

I am so sorry that Peter is so poorly. When Stephen was at his worst in hospital I took him in some tenna pants He only used them once or twice but it gave him the confidence to relax a little. His greatest fear was soiling the bed and watching a nurse having to change it.

Telling him that they were used to such things happening was no comfort to him at all. Love to Peter (and you of course Min) Gillxx
