It's Christmas Eve babe... (Opening line to fairytale in New York) .... I'm delighted to say I'm not in the drunk tank! Yes it is Christmas eve morning at 6am. I'm sitting in my nice warm living room, the tree lights are on, the house is quiet and I'm contemplating both the last week and the week ahead. Last week I took a road trip with my mother. We went as far as Meigle in Perthshire by way of North Yorkshire with Glasgow and Preston on the way back. We were incredibly lucky...
took my mother into town today, we met a few people that we knew, and who know Mum has cancer. I am extremely angry that not one of them asked her how she was, felt like we had some kind of contageous disease, has anybody else had this reaction?
Today has been a very long day as I have been up since 4am Bert woke me up to get him up for the toilet and I could not get back to sleep.

Bert has had a bad day but he has managed to get to sleep and I can relax for a little while. Hie has lost his appetite which is a shame as he...

Hello,
I am Mrs Mike On The Bike. I hardly ever visit this site any more. Those who have sent messages and/or submitted buddy requests to Mike might be wondering why he has not responded. He isn't ignoring you but quite a few weeks ago he decided to leave this site and has asked Admin to delete his account. Unfortunately he still gets e-mail prompts/confirmations to his off-site e-mail address.
He is active as a Cancer Voice supporter for Macmillan so some of you may well come in to contact with...
Sorry I haven't posted anything for 3 weeks.
I was whisked in on 2nd December as there haed been a cancellation so my op was brought forward 4 weeks.I was in for 2 weeks as I picked up infection so was on intra-veinous anti-biotic and all the side effects that brings.
So I am back home sore and very tired but at home with my new little appendage.
Too tired write more when I can
Merry Christmas
