    Progress, even if it feels slow

    Now I can stay up all day and walk to the end of the road and beyond without needing a sleep afterwards. 

    Starting to fret over the next stages as the pathology form the op is taking a long time to come through.  I do not like waiting and waiting seems to be the name of the game with the NHS and healthcare in general.

    Out of the mouth of babes

    I read something really funny today, I thought that my pals in macland would like to hear about it.

     The vicar had asked his sunday school children to write questions to God for the church magazine.

    One child wrote " God why do you keep taking people and bringing new ones, why can't you just keep the old ones?

    As the saying go's out of the mouths of babes. Bless them

    Love to all Julie X

  • Nearly a year on, why still so angry!!!
    URGH

    Hi to my friends and everybody else going through this journey.

    I am blogging cause I need to chat away about my late dear mum, I miss her so much and I know that saying to well "she would not want to see you still upset, after all this time, move on" .  Well as much as I am getting on with my life and trying to get my brain and heart to both accept that my dear mum is no longer in this world, they are not agreeing.  My brain finally acknowledged it, after giving me such lovely nightmares...

    Frustrating little sod

    Ok just need to have a blast for a min or two.

    For the last two nights on chat members have had to put up with Yomi18ayekoti.  This idiot  was out to totally disrupt and annoy.  We have had new people on who could not cope with what was going on, members who wanted to talk  things over an could not,  and some long term members who have now said they wont come back for awhile as its making them so upset. I wish there was a way that admin could deal with this type of situation within a short period of time...

    Is it ok if I am selfish and have a rant tonite?

    I have just looked in my diary to see that I have an appointment with my GP next monday, it is one I made some weeks ago.

    Then I got to thinking that EVERY time I have been to see my GP since my diagnosis of uncurable prostate cancer four and a half years ago every appointment has been made by ME not once has my GP asked to see me, all the appointments have been when I thought they ought to see me. IS THIS COMMON?

    I know I see my consultant every 3 months but surely I could expect my GP to take...
