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."

so you are a pensioner like me. i am from manchester but moved to salfod when i got married. salford is a city on its own. we are flanked by manchester it has border with.
Soc, I walk with two sticks - no hands left for swords . I did ask AI about a Northants Thunder Dance. It refused to be beaten, referring me to a sort of street dance with Thunder in its title. The lady demonstrating it on you tube had large lightning bolt ear rings. I decided they did not suit me, so I'll obtain some weather forecasting sea weed and connect it to my car battery. The hail and heavy & rain this afternoon has removed a lot of the birds' target practice from my car. One more shower should do nicely. When we lived in Germany in 1966-69, we were on the way back from a weekend away with Dad driving the Taunus estate dragging the caravan. We stopped to refuel near Karlsruhe and were caught in a ferocious storm with thunder plus golfball sized hail. Dad could not get the whole outfit under the filling station canopy. The car received hundreds of small dents but the caravan, being made from softer aluminium, had a very dimpled finish. Scary stuff, those continental storms! Ray xxx
