Hi Dai
You are doing what you do best!!

I have a time it,s 4am don.t ask what I associate it with,but sure enough when it strikes 4am,I look at the clock and know the time without looking!!!

I do think about a lot of things and often wish I took a pen and paper to bed,my daughter does this every night,so you keep on with your writing time…[Read more]

Thank You Everyone
For your good wishers,very very impressed with Kings Chemo unit,it took us be surprise,after local hospital,the staff were very impressive,not one walked by looking down at the floor,and everyone kept checking all monitors.

Gives us more confidence in SCT.

Hi janet and all other "yellow Liners"8-)

I hope the cough is soon sorted 😀 nothing worse than a bloody nite cough :-S I remember when i stopped smoking (nov 2009) I suffered (and still do) a cough and more chest infections that you can shake a stick at.

I got flu and ended up with a chest infection at the end of it :-/ so off to Dr's…[Read more]

Hi Dai
I also get tingling round my mouth and lips. I wasn't sure if it was dex or thalidomide that caused it. However dex got the blame for my fat face!

Andy

Hi all
It is great to be home though as Tom says its a bit scary not having the safety net of nurses and doctors around. But as Tom also says there's less risk of picking an infection up at home than in hospital. I'll do my best to report any changes Dai – it has been drilled into me how important it is – but I am a bloke :-/ I've just had…[Read more]

A warm welcome home Andy, its great to be home and I know scary as you dont have the Dr and Nurses to hand (thats how i felt?) but if you have the same as i had it will pass.

Enjoy your bed enjoy your own cups and plates and most of all enjoy looking our your own window 😀

Realistically Andy you are in the safest place at home 😎 as we…[Read more]

Hi everyone.
I woke up in my own bed this morning 🙂 No nurse waking me at 4am for obs. I was let home yesterday evening with a carrier bag full of drugs. I'm still feeling ok – thankfully. I know I need to be vigilant for the next few days but I'm glad to be home.

Andy

Hi Eve

I hope the SCT works for Slim. It's so hard to believe that a year has passed. Congratulations!! Hope you have a great day

Love Jean xx

Hi Dai

Sorry i have missed your post.Rearly good to hear new treatment is working,and you have some releave from the pain.

Finding i cannot keep up with the post,think its because as things improved with Slim,my middle of the night,being wide awake has faded and now sleeping well myself,
It is lovely to hear the old Dai back again,Love Eve

Hi Janet

How are you doing? hope the cough is better?

Hi Eliz

We ought to start up a "Yellow Liner" group ha ha. but to be honest they (the hospital) should have places where folk with the blue badge can have free parking.
