Dearest Min,

I don't know what to say. Peter's passing has come as complete shock and so sudden. My heart goes out to you and your family! You are a remarkable woman who has been supporting her husband in the most loveable way. You are also incredible at advising, helping and supporting other members of the MM family. Please keep strong! And…[Read more]

Hi Julie
Smashing to hear from you – but so sorry for the news about your poor husband. The expression never rains but pours springs to mind – you both sound to be taking things as much in your stride as you can though and I hope you can go forward with your plans soon.

We went over to Spain to check out the house last week. Also, my husband,…[Read more]

It's the wee small hours and I cannot sleep. How the heck does Stephen sleep so peacefully when he has this horrid, horrid mm and I am the one that lays awake, gets up, makes tea (or worse a glass of wine) It's tea tonight.

Min I love all the things that you have mentioned. I too am lucky enough to be adored by a very special man who fights all…[Read more]

INSATIALBLE (spelling correct? I do hope so)

BLE anybody?

Bonjour Mavis, Min, Mari et al. L'ecole et tres bien.

I had a wonderful time, felt very comfortable and came back on a great high. Everyone there seems to be on the same sort of level so I don't feel a complete idiot.

I was so nervous that Stephen dropped me off and picked me up. (I have driven for over 40 years but could not even think how…[Read more]

Hi Roz

You could try making a list of things that you would like done eg.When children or grandchildren come round get them foraging in the loft for those photos. I am sure that they will cause some tears but they will bring back some lovely memories.

The photo on here of us looks so jolly as Stephen pinched my bum just as the shutter went…[Read more]

Goodness Min for British Gas to send you a bouquet must mean you were realy up and running with your rant. Good for you.:-)

I have no idea of the pain and heartache you must be going through that will come quickly enough, but I do know that I welcome challenges in the face of pain. Somehow (for me) it gives me the strength to carry on.

I…[Read more]

Can´t add any advice but I did just want to wish you all well. I know what your saying about they don´t want to investigate because of her other issues but how does your Mum feel? I know when I was very very ill I was beginning to feel I was a huge long burden to my poor husband. It´s only now that I am much much better and life is returning to…[Read more]

Bl***dy NHS

Don't get me wrong I am very grateful that we have it but how frustrating it is at times. Stephen is still covered by our private health care. For how long we have no idea. We get copies of the invoices so have some idea of just what the treatment costs.

Stephen gets no different treatment than anyone else but it is always on…[Read more]

Hi Debs
Just to let you know I have been on Reblimid for three months and like you, am exhausted and the nerve problems in my feet and hands are annoying and uncomfortable – also have tummy upsets etc. etc.
Just returned from a couple of days in Spain during which time I had to stop the tablets as I just felt so absolutely rotten. It wasn´t…[Read more]

Hi Nadine
Welcome – although like everyone else I´m sorry that you have had to join us. Do you think your mum would be able to manage joining the site now that you are finding your way around? I suppose we mums always want to be strong for our children and I know that I am guilty of that – but here on this site I can be honest about how I am…[Read more]

Hi Sandra
Welcome (but sorry you had to join us – Best of luck with the transplant. I had mine done at St Jame´s Leeds and they allowed me to take in both pillows and duvet (my husband also brought in a kettle which we kept discreetly tucked away in a cupboard but they knew I had it and understood as my room was so cold and the drinks were…[Read more]

Cannot help with the hospital as we are in Southern Kent and covered by Kings College London. Just wanted to wish you the very best of luck Gill

Happy Birthday Eve.

Min I had forgotton the paper bag and coin trick (it was probably a florin or so to start with:-) ) I am sure that "Grandad's Magic will be with all of you for a very long time. Much love from Gill xxx

Roz

Please don't feel you should not post how you feel on this site. I could not add anything to Mavis' post She was so eloquent.

Take care Roz. Love from Gill xxx

I LOVE the fact that I put up this idea.

C'mon you lot let's not stop xxx
