Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

You're in, Ray! You've just mentioned two of my favourite places in the whole world so I'll even let you off the black pudding.
We've not been to Scarborough for a long time but I intend to rectify that as soon as possible - I'll have to remain patient for now.
Well it's carpet day tomorrow hon, so hopefully the aroma will be flowing through your house and letting you know they'll be around for the longest time. We desperately need a new stairs carpet, as telling myself it's retro isn't doing the job anymore. It's just old and dated.
Anyway my lovely, time I made a move to get started with our tea, so have a good evening and look forward to tomorrow. I hope the new paintwork doesn't get scratched! xxx
Hi Sonia sweetie you can come in anytime you like, and a string quartet can herald you over the border to the strains of Arrival of the Queen of Sheba. I think the Queen of Muller Corners sounds better though.
Does your lad own a big jalopy, like an SUV? My brother's got a motability one and the last time I was in it, it was a super drive but a struggle getting out with my short legs. All the pavements round here could do with being a foot higher to be fair. To me, anyway.
Make sure you have a nice, relaxing evening sweetie xxx
I struggle getting in and out of his truck. It is a ford ranger Gill I don't know why he bought it. He says everyone moves out of his way when they see the size of it.it is no good for my short legs. Thank you Gill. Hope you have a lovely evening. I am waiting for my supply of muller corners due at 8 p.m. just been down to the docs for my b12 injection not a nice one. My love and hugs to you and OH.xxx
