At first you think you've got it but can still pretend you've not,
Then you know you've got it, but you're not sure what you've got,
Soon the world is spinning and you might just lose the plot!
They say you shut them out; you're trying to hold it in,
Cause if you've got to get it, there's no need to give in...

Hi, I had a deep skin graft performed on the side of my nose on Thursday and am currently waiting in anticipation to see if the graft has worked, stitches will come out on Thursday of next week so fingers crossed. History: I had a small lump develop on the side of my nose about 18 months ago and thought nothing of it. Playing rugby I would often bash my face and this area would bleed, again I put it down to rugby and carried on. About six months ago it started to bleed on its own accord without being...

My brother has terminal mesothelioma and very little time left. He is basically starving to death because he can't face food or even the mention of it without experiencing nausea.
He has little pain & is only taking 2mg morphine 2 - 3 times daily, and a stool-softener to counteract the morphine/inaction/poor diet.
Tried steroid once, but said made feel sick & very ill, so very reluctant to try again.
Anyone got experience of similar problem & able to offer advice? Would be...
Oh the daft, silly and trivial places my troubled mind can travel with insignificant worries pre op.
Not the reasonable, logical worries that aren't actually realistic but a significant few have,
such as:
Will I awake whilst the surgeon is a slicing....
Will they become distracted answering the ultimate question "This is the right breast, right ?" not noticing the pointing finger to the Left breast and simply replying "Yes its the Right breast"...
Dodgy anaesthetic equals ...
Hey Guys,
I am a young girl who hides so much behind her smile everyday, not many people know what that is, only the closes people to me. I don't know any other way to get my feelings out, apart from writing them down in this blog, but I am not only writing this for me I am writing to help and inspire others in some way if I can. :)
I have a wonderful family, Mom, Dad, two Brothers and one sister. I have cerebral Palsy which affects my movement every day life, but saying this I do not let it...
Ever since I beat cancer I have never been as sick.one thing after another. Monday I was told I had a bladder infection and today I was told that my urine is clear so now my blood being tested for gall stones and pancreas problem and only they know what else. I have a pain in the left size of my abdomen area and it's so bad I have been to the doctor 2 times and I avoid the doctor unless it's major. Have to wait until tomorrow for the result. I am so fed up with being sick.!!! Xxx
Today is random acts of kindness day. But is an act of kindness ever really random? Are the acts of a friend bringing your favourite treat or sending a well timed text not the very opposite of random? Perhaps they have seemingly come out of the blue but are they not, in fact, consciously considered acts of kindness, and isn’t that what makes them all the more marvellous and meaningful?
Timehop can be a nightmare for me at this time of year.
In his defence, Abe has never been quite so harsh on...
You never expect it to happen to you. Mad but true. I'm a survivor and think that I'm still in shock.I was 32 a mother of a 5 year old and my partner has m.s.I hadn't been well in a long time but I put it down to other things and self medicated with tables from the street and drink. Then horrible things started to happen down below and the pain got worse then I couldn't hardly sit down and then I was passing blood and went to the doctor she was a new doctor called Dr McMillan and she tried to do...
