After my Mothers big operation she has staples from ear to ear and down her neck both sides she also has a piece of skin from her leg sown on to her chin and I am such a baby I am so scared to see her
It is a release to be able to put into writing what has been happening recently.
Keith had his scan 2 weeks ago, and has been in a lot more pain since then. We had to call out the duty doctor last week on Friday night because his pain control medication was not adequate. I felt so helpless not being able to do anything except be there for him. He was admitted to hospital and as he hadn't been able to eat they put him on a hydrating drip, then a catheter.

Well here I am , getting ready for a mastectomy next tuesday. It'll be the 3rd surgery and I'm quite annoyed! I asked them to do this day 1 and they resisted. So, I said ok a WLE will do.

Hi
just got back from plastic dressing clinic. Lead nurse saw me today and cards were laid on the table.
…..ponderings, Bad Fairy style. Why does it seem that only my white hairs are falling out with this chemo and not the dark ones? My yellow Labrador seems to “melt” more than the black two do, maybe there‘s an explanation in there somewhere! Or maybe there are just more white ones to fall out in the first place. Why are young children so accepting and resilient when life throws them some tough stuff to deal with? Why do I manage to set the smoke detector off whenever...
