Hi Gill and Wendy

I think it,s not until you start looking back,that you begin to wonder if you remember it as it was.!!!!
When Slim was in ITU they offer you a dairy that they will right for you,because you cannot remember anything about it,so you loose so many days.

Some nurses think its a good thing,that you have no memory of it.If you…[Read more]

Hi Jennah,

First things first… if your Dad's back is hurting don't let him pick up little bruisers… I fractured my shoulder doing just with my Grandson four years ago, when my bone damage was getting worse (although I didn't know it at the time).:-S

What treatment is he on? If it is his first (frontline) treatment it will be something…[Read more]

Hi Eve,
