    I went to have a swine flu jab this morning at GPs.

     

    Everyone who had it was asked to sit in the waiting room afterwards for 10mins in case of adverse reactions.

    I felt fine, but a man sitting across from me, with 2 boys (who I presumed were his sons) suddenly slumped back in his chair and started groaning. He fainted, and loads of people called for the doctor, who came running out of his room and tried to get the man…

Now I find myself with a new user name 'deejay' (which I think used on 'share') and apart from Debs and Kate G - how you feeling on the Temodar Debs? How many more cycles are you having?  I haven't seen any familiar faces and names. When I was at my lowest point on finding out that my son also had…

    It's a while since I've blogged on here - we've actually had a week's hol in Italy which was fantastic, then a long weekend with our friends in their caravan,.... Hmmmm, cosy, is the only thing to say about that!! But I've been catching up with everyone the last couple of days, reading up on blogs that I missed. My son is doing fine, back at work, and has his follow-up appointment on Monday. He has handled the whole…
