Get on your way for that holiday quickly Dai Bon Voyage Gill xx

I am so sorry that Peter is so poorly. When Stephen was at his worst in hospital I took him in some tenna pants He only used them once or twice but it gave him the confidence to relax a little. His greatest fear was soiling the bed and watching a nurse having to change it.

Telling him that they were used to such things happening was no comfort…[Read more]

What a fantastic thread. Memories? Too many to know where to begin. The smell of roasting peanuts being cooked in Woolies (woolworths to you young uns). Players number 6 cigarette vouchers (stopped smoking years ago but back then when old enough we smoked ourselves to death to get enough vouchers for a genuine teak coffee table for our first…[Read more]

Hi Gina

May be if you do some research to see what other drugs they use for Myeloma it might help,Hope your mum gets some blood as nothing worst than feeling washed out,and let…[Read more]

Hi Angela
What i am saying is you cannot second guess without more information,May be the nurse on Ellane on this site might be better at explaining it than I am.
I would hate you to think your father died because he was not well cared for.
I can only tell you after every cycle bloods are checked and any problems show up and your meds are…[Read more]

Hi Angela

It would be very hard to comment on people who are having chemo unless you know what type of chemo your father was on.was he on any special trials.
To be on the intensive chemo he must have been deemed to be fit,as your are boarder line at 65.How many cycles of chemo were given .
DVT are a…[Read more]

Be positive,IT took sometime for Slims infection to be controlled,and Yes it might not have got to this stage if he had listened to you.This just might be the wakeup call Peter needs,Slim does not believe me when i tell him half the things he did( has no memory) so he says 😛
Had to take him to hospital yesterday,local,took skin off…[Read more]

Believe it or not Min our tea came from the ships,My dad…[Read more]

Hi David

Are you sure your itchy legs are not caused by the "no see ums" :-/ I only popped out to the garden briefly towards dusk and the little blighters got my legs, back (under baggy t shirt) and the tops of both feet.

Why Oh why did we ever put in an 8 foot diameter fish pond in our garden the no see ums thrive around it at this time of…[Read more]

Dear Bridget, and the rest of you all

It is full of information, it puts us all in contact whether mm people or their husbands, wives, children, parents, friends, secret lovers?? (that would be fun:-) with others that this wretched…[Read more]
