Hey All,
My son and I got offered a new state house the other day. This is great because I will be settled in a place we can afford and can make a home of it.
I have lived in eight different places since the cancer lark(?) started up and am finally staying in an old people's home where I must be the youngest by 30 years or more. Needless to say, I have nothing in common with anybody, except maybe Coronation Street but they all have TVs in their rooms so don't come out to the lounge to watch it.
Will be glad to get my own computer set up and my own broadband connection. This computer is so secure that I can't download a thing else I would be chatting in the chatroom.
I am feeling beeter than I have in a year, and the dent in my head is not such a problem: that is I am tolerating it better, but small children still feel the need to comment.
cheers

Hi Janet
Hope you do feel better with your own room. Having the internet can be a great source of info, making friends, and passing the time of day.
and relieved Janet - and thank goodness things have taken a good and positive turn for you - you sound like one courageous woman! Your experience of being in a rest home at a much younger age than normal must have been somewhat traumatic and I feel happy for you that you are to get a place of your own from which hopefully you will be recovering after your radiotherapy.
Do you perchance live in Auckland, New Zealand?? Ponsonby Road is a well known glorious shopping area to us Kiwis.
That's lovely - a new home to look forward to. When are you moving in? I hope you'll be sitting around giving orders while a gang of skivvies does all the hard work!
