  • Hi Dai

    Someone smeo where along the lines is telling porkies :-P. we found out today that the consultant – the top dog is on all weekend. I think it is the case of passing the buck. Frank is quite relaxed about it – I think the fact that he will be ok to watch his beloved United tomorrow may have something to do with it!!! :-S The only thing…[Read more]

    Dear Keith

    So sorry about the awful infections. I hope the BMB points them in the right direction. My thoughts and good wishes are with you

    Love Jean x

  • Hi Ann,

    It isn't great when they tell you it will get worse before it gets better, is it? I remember Phil and I wondering each day if Phil had reached the bottom yet but you will find one day you will go in and Pete will have turned the corner and then it will be onwards and upwards – to borrow a catchphrase 🙂

  • Dear Jean,

    Dear Keith,

    I am so sorry to hear about the sepsis. I hope the BMB may help to find out the source of the problem with your platelets. Phil and I are both thinking of you.

    Hi Maureen,

    That is great news that Ian is allowed out of bed, even if it is only for an hour, it is a step in the right direction. The civil wedding in July will also help as a goal to work towards.

    It does seem that there is a lack of good care sometimes in the NHS, Phil has mostly been very lucky but there have been a few instances…[Read more]

    Hi Jane
    Nice to hear from you,take it your under fifty to introduce your self on there,people might miss it,you might like to go to newcomers,people are more likely to see it.

    Helps if you tell a bit about yourself as some actually meet in hospitals and might be of use to you if you are worried about anything. Eve
