Dear Mavis and Dai

Thanks for your replies. It is reassuring reading your experience of this type of pain. It gives me hope. Frank still has the pain but he said it is a lot easier than Wednesday.

Hi Eve

Thanks for your good wishes. When frank was first diagnosed 5 years ago she did an MRI and she told us the about the crushed vertabrae. She said that she could tell from the scan that it was an old injury and could Frank remember any incident. He did and when she told him I also remember. It was on a cruise and he had a silly accident…[Read more]

Love Jean xx

Thanks Bridget and Tom,

It's been one of those years were we seem to have lost a few family members, the kids emigrating and then this and I think it all got too much for her.

She's had a "chat" with someone and they're giving her something to ease her anxiety.

We saw her Doc today who's giving her a break from everything until the new…[Read more]
