Finally back on the new site has taken quite a while. The last time I was on the old site our children had surprised us with a wonderful break to our friends in Greece and also surprised us because they were there, nearly all of us together , except for 2 who could not make it , but were there in our minds. They had also surprised us by planning a blessing for Bob & I , such a wonderful day and a wonderful week. Did not want it to end. Bob relaxed so much, it was lovely to see our friends we stayed at their apts. Our family have been going there for about 14yrs and they are wonderful. The blessing took place and there was not a dry eye in the place, a very emotional but happy day. Will never ever forget it. The priest blessed us and the only words we understood, because it was all in greek, were our names it did not matter though because it sounded lovely.
We are now back home, Bob started his radiotherapy 1st Oct. has had it very day and also chemo once a wk , was suppose to be having it for 6wks but developed terrible pains in back and stomach and lost weight rapidly. In so so much pain has had to be admitted to hospital and has been there since Tuesday, he is not eating/drinking, so poorly. He just seemed to be getting himself fit again and bang knocked right back down. He looks more ill now than at the very beginning, I feel absolutely helpless. Why, why, why it is not fair, he is such a wonderful person and does not deserve to suffer so much. The doctors are not sure what is happening at the moment and have stopped all treatment and trying to get pain under control. Was under control for a few days, but has it come back again . Has anyone else experienced anything like this. I just want to go to the hospital tomorrow and see the sparkle back in his eyes, please please, please.
I have changed my profile pic, my new one shows us at our blessing, I treasure this so much and all the other pics.
