Good Luck with the new puppy Sarah, I dont envy you the running to the door every now and then but as its so much colder here in the frozen north I would want to wait till summer time when the door is permanently open !
The smell of new puppies is oohh so nice but the cleaning is ugh. My last one we had a cat flap on the back door and she used…[Read more]

Hi Val
My husband was taking quinine too but if he did not drink sufficient liquids the cramps in his legs won.
I found myself with cramps recently and once I drank more liquid it helped. Also I am told that leg warmers help. Weight lifters suffer cramps apparently and leg warmers increase the blood flow; or something like that!
Hope it helps

Dear Dear Gill,
Its so hard being a carer and knowing that the time you have with you loved one is under the clock so to speak. I know exactly where you are coming from.
Peter was on prednisalone steroids for quite a long time before Dreaded Dex. the problems he had with prednisalone were more bone damage due to taking oral bone strength…[Read more]

Dear Chrissie
My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I can only imagine what you are feeling but it may help to know that, when Peter died I was so relieved he was no longer in pain, no longer worrying what was going to work and wasnt. I no longer had to watch the handsome well built man I loved wallowing in what the damn disease…[Read more]

CAL for you

dear Dai,
So sorry to hear your news what a bug***.
I am sure by now you have both got over the blow you were dealt, but as always pick yourself up dust yourself off and head off for the next adventure.
the MM journey for some is so unfair, and the hope that the next new drug will work is amazing in the way it makes us bounce back ready for the…[Read more]

Hi Dai
Should add that our Dr at the behest of the Macmillan nurse issued a form for Peter which was normaly given to patients who have only 6 months to live. Cant remember its name but in essence it provided a short cut to benefits without filling in too much paperwork.
I was upset about this as I worried that as he started to get better they…[Read more]

I?m really pleased for you both, enjoy the rest of your life

Good MOrning Bridget and Happy and better New Year for you all. Including me!

Will you still speak you when you are famous? Brilliant idea to take part and good on you.

Dear Michelle
I am so sorry that you and your children and of course your husband have been struck down by this blu_y awful illness.
It is a very rough ride you have been on and I sincerely hope that this is not the end of the story or the journey for you both. I have heard that going back to the beginning is helpful, ie if he was on CDT at the…[Read more]

Beautiful bride and wedding dress and just right for the winter.

I came home yesterday and it was not as bad as I thought, must be getting used to being on my own though was exhausted form being with the grand children…[Read more]

I survived my first Christmas without peter with many moments of reflection, a small amount of tears,and lots of children's laughter.
My tears were mostly seeing my grandson playing with one of Peters tanks in the way I know he planned to do with him had he been here.
But on the whole not as bad as i had imagined, but have yet to go home and…[Read more]

Whilst your angry let it simmer under a hot fire of anger then get in there and insist on all the money he signed cheque on being put back in the account. That will make them sit up then go to the financial ombudsman and get them to get you compensation for the additional distress.
On a lighter and more seasonal note merry Christmas
Love

Happy birthday to ya, as the song goes. And many more too.
With Christmas wishes too to everyone
