Thank you for all your replies and words of encouragement. I told mum and dad that i had been on this site and passed on all your positivity and support. Dad is computer phobic, but my mum has discovered the www over recent years so i expect she'll be on here at some point.

Wonder drug indeed – it doesn't explode out of the pack and it does not work particularly well as an instant cure for blockages… but as a regular, complimentary medicine it is marvellous. (The word marvellous was used by both the ward Sister and the duty Doctor).:-D

I feel a different person today… still fatigued and 'heavy' limbed but I…[Read more]

The very best of luck… hold on… I've missed a day.

Hi Shirls,

Of all the pluses of recovery from treatment having a real taste and desire for food and drink is by far the biggest bonus… and its not just 'back to normal', everything tastes bigger and better and bolder. Bring it on… Hmm, dare I risk a 'drink' drink with my MST?

Nah… I won't push it… enough lessons for the time…[Read more]

So sorry Bridget

It might not have been his choice,but at least he did not die,without any body being able to say good bye,and you must draw comfort from that.
It is not very nice to know the powers that be can decide where your last days are spent!!!
Thinking of you in this sad time eve
