Thanks Eve, I might take you up on that! I think our outlook on life is the same. I believe you should make the most of today and enjoy every minute of it. We dont have a lot of money but we have each other which is far better than anything else. I try to turn every negative into a positive (not always easy!) but it works for me. MM took over our…[Read more]

Hi Eve..

What a lovely post indeed. It is amazing how we all keep smiling and put on a brave face. Do we all do that? Do we all say "well there is always someone else worse off"? I know I do. Grah (hubby) is now 2 yrs post transplant (well he will be next month). Oh boy what a journey it has been but it has made us even closer and it has made…[Read more]

Everybody has been so kind. You are truly wonderful people and I…[Read more]

Thanks all for your advice which is most welcome. Insomnia also plays a big part which is probably why it is sometimes difficult to keep things in perspective! I will take all your advice on board. Hubby is now saying everything is fine and we should now forget what happened on Monday…. mm typical eh! This really is a roller coaster illness but…[Read more]

Thanks again Jean. It is nice to know there are people out there who understand.

Pauline

Thank you both for your replies. I feel very alone this week so it nice to know that actually I am not.

You both make very valid points and I have tried as tactfully as I can to suggest that my hubby phones the helpline number to discuss his feelings with someone who is outside of the situation and can offer the best advice. I am hoping he…[Read more]
