Hi Tom and the family of Lappins

Will be lovely when it is 3 months appointments,already been told if we want to go away for any length of time,it can be arranged around Zomita.

It is a good feeling,just to know we are in this position,we will just be doing everything a bit slower as Slims body has taken a battering,and is still on pain…[Read more]

Hey Tina Good Luck with it all and if I remember well Nightie is faster for lifting than jim jams are for lowering and I prefer the fastest way (not that I wear Nightie's though)

Hi Mavis Megan Joanne and Jean

Yes it is all good,I realised how I felt right through Slims treatment and how many people helped me through the many months with all Slims problems,We seemed to live in the hospital at one stage,and it is so nice to have this extra time to enjoy.

Jean I think Slim would be the same about going,I think they…[Read more]

Hi Tina
Well I have to say Slim never found the energy to get dressed until near the end,and lots of clothes just got thrown away,you will not expect them to be taken home.

Take things in that are around you at home,like your favourite mug,I would also take anything,that you like to drink in,as this is so important,as food and drink do not…[Read more]

Hi Tina

I had my SCT last February and most of my plans for what to take into hospital with me revolved around keeping myself amused and free from acute boredom!

With that in mind, although there'll be some days when you won't be able to concentrate on anything, I found my laptop a godsend, took my knitting in, a book, some puzzle magazines…[Read more]

Hi Joanne
Sorry you Dad is having a rough time of it,at least they found out what it was,and he is on his way to improving,just forget about the Velcade for a few weeks,just work on getting your dad in better shape and in the frame of mind to start Velcade,because that will be the last thing he wants to do.

Slim had pneumonia and was 21 days…[Read more]
