Well I was in a fowl mood all day yesterday!! Dont know why but I just was. Took the kids to town to buy a pumpkin and some last minute things for Halloween and they were like little devils!!! I was pulling my hair out. When I was first diagnosed 2 years ago I told myself I would let nothing bother me, I wont get stressed blah blah....and that sooooo didnt happen. Thinks still P me off as much as they always have and I still find it very hard to cope sometimes.
So by the time I got home my head...
Yesterday mum called me and asked me to come over and see dad as he was not right, I went over and when I got there he was like in a catatonic state, I dont even know if he knew I was there. I called the out of hours service and managed to talk to his own GP who passed the information on to the GP who was going to come out and see him. He could not walk to the toilet his legs kept giving out from beneath him. I told the GP when he came that I needed him to go into hospital or the hospice as he needed...
Today I got some more diy done. Finished the edging round the living room, still have to paper a wall, hopefully do that tomorrow. We're waiting for new sofas to come so want to have the room ready. I also put the strip down to join the floors from the hallway into the living room. What I thought was a five minute job turned into 2 and a half hours! Sam had put a temporary bit of wood down when he laid the floors 4 years ago and I thought i just had to take that up and put the proper thing in...
Hi everyone hope we are all having a good weekend, I haven't blogged for a few days it seems to have been really busy lately which is great (no time to think).
Thursday was the day for final preparations for the Pink Friday day at work, so off to the shops to get the final few bits to complete the whole look, this meant a trip to the nail bar to have my nails painted in the same colour as my new pink extensions (lol) I was wearing a t-shirt that my mum in law had made for me and this had the...
Family has all gone today back to their lives far away. A friend will be with me later and until I am ready to be alone again. It just gets harder every day as each da there is a little more time to think about everything that happened. It has been such a horrible three months and it has only been three months! I still can't take it all in. He was so well in July, we had a lovely cruise around Britain and I am so glad we did do that. Then from the beginning of August, doctors and hospitals and...
Hello all.
I've just had my 5th radio session. I should have been on number 7 but the machine was broken for 2 days. No obvious side effects so far (beyond a slight tenderness).
The one thing that has been a problem is that my legs or more accurately, my thighs stopped working properly a couple of weeks ago. I found that I was suddenly struggling to walk up stairs because of the difficulty in my foot reaching each step – in fact walking in general is a bit of an issue. I spoke to a doc...
Boom! Boom! Boom! No, it's not a headache but the roofers...lol. Sprung a leak in the front room after fixing the leaky roof three years ago...sigh...So, it's time to put a new one on in its entirety. Maybe we can get the contractor to fix the frame on the kitchen door that was put in new last year...another sigh...lol. No matter...we may have to move out of this lovely dwelling if we can't find a creative way of paying the mortgage once I am out on disability permanantly. At one time...
Its true what is said on here your taste doe's change. I am a cold drinker and because of the threat of my throat going into spasm, for 5 days at least I can't drink cold drinks then when I can they taste yuck. Apart from orange juice nothing tastes right. Although Last night I went out for dinner with my partner and I had a sip of his ice cold Guiness and it tasted lovely so he got me half which I enjoyed very much. My onc nurse said that I could drink alcohol but I might find that if I am...
