    district nurse

    I am a journalist writing on health matters and currently researching a story about the role of the district nurse in end of life care. I would be very interested in members' experiences of district nurse care, whether as patient or relative/carer.

    Yesterday My Dad would have been a Grandad again. Warning cute pic's included

    My Beautiful sister gave birth to the most adorable baby girl. 

    Jessica May was born at 4.40am weighing 7lb.

     

    My Dad would have absolutely loved her to pieces. I will tell her everything about him when she is older so she knows just how fabulous her Grandad was.

    Here are some pic's of me and my babies having cuddles with Jessica May

    Brace again- its very long (and very silly)
    Firstly, I would like to say how shocked I am by all your bad habits... (being Saint My of no-vice-dom) I think we should go on a Green tea detox next week when all this is over... or then again, maybe not....
     So, the cats are glued to the pheromones, P is cleaning the house like we’ve got ecoli on the premises (Archer's reference for you Radio 4 types) and I am chewing my nails off and trying to distract myself with mac land.... and the phone keeps ringing and I can’t breathe again and arrggghh...

    Hosp Results

    Well after a vist to the hosp Doc last week we have learnt that Alan's T13 of his spine is collapsing due to a soft tissue mass .

    So we now wait to see if he has to go to Orthopaedic Hosp or to see about RT again .He may have to have a Biopsy done..

    so as always its the waiting game, to know where we go from here.

    Hoping and praying things will get sorted re treatment for him .
