Hi Everybody and specially you Min,
It might not be the subject we want to talk about but it all helps,and gives us time to grieve.
Its my birthday today and since 9/11 I have felt guilty of enjoying it,then 5 years ago one of my sister-in-laws got cremated on my birthday it was such a sad day,and today i am in similar position another sister…[Read more]

Hi Everyone
Before Slim had this MM,We went to a few family funerals ,and on the way home,he said promise me if i die you will not go through all that clap trap.
As you might guess,he has no faith.He tells me because he was an NCO and doing full service,he has a right to be buried at sea.
When I asked why,His answer was,those b—ers messed me…[Read more]

Hi

My word is INTERPRET that why i have not got a picture on here,the instructions are like a foreign language ,have to wait until the grand kids to come.

RET
PS,i will make another effort with the picture.Eve

I love my life before this MM,travelling was a way of life,it brings everyone down to the same level,no keeping up with the Jones,s.Then everything changed

I now love walking on the seafront and sitting looking out to sea.
I love the way everyone says good morning as your walk along
I love bumping into people i have not seen for years,and…[Read more]

Hi Amelie
The question,is a hard one,as a carer you will worry about it,is he doing to much?? but if he was at home would he be doing to much?,and the answer lies within his nature,his body his decision.
Slim my husband,the minute he starts to feel better,he goes over the top,thinks he can do every thing,you end up nagging,not helpful.
So now I…[Read more]

Thanks Sharon

Will look out for that,has his MRI scan on Sunday,With Slim its very hard to tell how much pain he is in,never one to admit to pain just the fact he takes Oxycodone hydrochloride and cannot do without it,and still is in pain is enough for me.Never touched a pain kill in all his life,even when he had a hip replacement,,broken ribs…[Read more]

Hi Min

This has all been a wake up call for Slim,he is listening to me,and has said how it all bring s every thing home,Promises me in the future,he will do as i ask if he is ill,:-/ I know him well enough.i will still have a fight on my hands to get him,in to…[Read more]

Sarah was lucky to be able to bring her husband home to die,Peter was lucky in the fact that he new nothing about his death,you had to carry that burden,

hi Gill
Thank you for bringing the video to are attention,it is exactly what is needed,It is making that call is the hard one,sometimes as in Slims case there was no temperture,and his insistence that I was fussing,even having a doctor out,who looking back had know idea,!!!!

Staff told me later what we went through should not have happened.
I…[Read more]

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for all that information,have asked about pet scan today,nurse said she would inform consultant,thought it was a good idea,the consultant is very much a bloods man,I get the impression he works purely on results.
Slim has tumour on spine,plus lesions on shoulder blades and skull,they have a pet scan at the hospital !!! so…[Read more]

Hi Gina
I have to say I do not think I would be waiting 2 weeks for treatment.Your mum must feel they have given up on her,I know i felt like that with Slim at one time.
If you ask to speak to your consultant,they should be able to arrange something even a telephone call,they usually get together as a team to decide treatment,so might be worth…[Read more]

Hi Sarah
If you live in a detached house go into a room and scream as hard as you can,it does work!!! then some deep breaths,and tell yourself you are not going insane!!!
With all your troubles life is going to go on,things will get better.Eve

Hi Alison
You have joined a good group who are just like you and will be there to support you,and offer wisdom and comfort,and in the middle you will find you will be able to smile laugh and cry.
It,s a bit of a shock to the system I would not have dreamed in a million years of posting on a site like this,but I cannot tell you how much it has…[Read more]

Hi Gina
As you know Slim has been very ill,his weight went down to 63kgs,it is now 66,which is great,do not let them take the easy option unless that is what your mum want,attitude of mind is a great thing ,your mum does not want to be a burden ,she has to find the will to live.
I think you have to ask them straight out about your mums lungs,if…[Read more]
