Hi Sarah

It doesn,t just rain it pours as the saying goes,and its raining on you,put that brolly up and protect yourself,you don,t want to catch anything,!!!!

Ask yourself why your MIL is phoning you and not Gordon,s siblings the reason being she feels she can relate to you,and because she see,s you as a strong person who is coping so…[Read more]

Sarah

I am so sorry that you have this extra burden on top of loosing your lovely Gordon. People as you know grieve in many ways. When my mum died I was so angry at everyone and every thing. I could not understand why these people were walking around and my mum wasn't. I am not making excuses for your MIL but maybe she is shouting for help as…[Read more]

Hi

Young people seem to be getting picked up earlier while older people,have usually broken bones by then.
so is the numbers higher than3000 a year in uk who get this disease???

Sorry but we have to work together,I would like to see more co-operation between the medical profession and the…[Read more]

Hi Tom

So glad the doctor was smiling. Your attitude is same as Franks. He has great confidence in consultant and if he needs to know anything she will tell him. It is me that has to know the ins and outs of everything, so Eves advice was great – found out more today than in past 5 years.

Take care (and your young bride) and long long may…[Read more]
