day 5 for my readers

Gill, why not have a chat with the MyelomaUK nurse. She may well have information about the trial and could perhaps give you some questions to ask before you 'phone your Consultant.

Day 4 for all my readers is above:-D

Shirley, I use TalkTalk and found that I could use the Internet OK and this site etc… . But, my email programme would receive email but it would not let me SEND email. This is down to TalkTalk blocking you sending unless you use a TalkTalk line. I believe several other internet providers do the same. If you are technical person you could…[Read more]

Yes Bridget it is about as British as you can get. No American would put up with it – polite or not:-D
I had a similar experience yesterday. A nurse who has just returned from 2 weeks sickness was clearly not fit for work. There was a complete mix up on my pills. It was sorted by the next nurse on shift and no damage was done. However, it…[Read more]

Yes I will be following your treatment with great interest. The very best of luck.

Hi Norman, It does make you wonder a bit doesn?t it. We totally rely on the doctors and Nurses to get it right.
Sorry, I cannot help on bis infusion I take Loron which is the daily tablets. I have no side effects at all from them.

I will ask Denise, who has been working in ward 9 (heamatology), my present location for 22 years. Unfortunately she will not be back until next week.

David

Well, I wish you the very best of luck I hope to follow your progress. Will you have a laptop available or are we going to have to wait until you come out of the other end:-(

Hi Deb, You are right you can only use your Outgoing mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.talktalk.net when connected over a talktalk line. I need to alter my settings to the hospital BT hub. Now the problem is trying to find someone who knows the information I need:-(

Actually Min, I think they have put me in the Private ward by mistake!:-S Breakfast was served on a tray with matching china. No tea urn for me my own matching pot of tea and milk jug. One of the maintenance guys has just been in to take samples of the water from my shower etc… I just hope they are not going to bill me for all this. 😀 😀

My thanks to you all. I am going "to try" to give a dailey(?) blog by editing my post "Musings from ward 9". We shall see how I get on:-D

Kindest regards

What a terrible situation for you Roberta.
Some people just do not want to get involved fearful that it may impinge on their lives and they may find themselves committed to a difficult and demanding situation they cannot control and perhaps that is it.
I think you are right you somehow have to find the strength to move on. They appear not to…[Read more]

Hi Bridget, I forgot to mention the fridge 😉 .

Yes, the signal in the ward is poor but workable. I am on Talktalk at home but the hosptial is a BT hub.

I can send to the site but for some reason I cannot send emails. I can receive. I am using windows live mail. I think it might be something to do with firewalls, ether mine or the…[Read more]

No, it is OK I would not want to intrude, thanks.
