Awake and up all night

I am thanks. xx

Afternoon Sonia ️ 

OH and me have been out most of today, first at a dental appointment with the hygienist and then to Maggie's. I insisted on going there as he cried so much in the dentist's chair when I had to go through all his past history. He's very depressed and I thought a different environment and a new, soothing voice might do the trick, which so far has as OH's agreed to a new strategy. The dentist asked if I wanted a job as she liked my no nonsense approach and recall of everything that's gone on over the last couple of years! No thanks, love, but both her and Maggie's guy told him he was lucky to have me... I'll leave OH to mull over that.

Busy bee stuff done, time to relax now. Hope you're ok today sweetheart xxx

Have a nice rest now Gill. After your busy day hope the dentist wasn't too much for you. I have been out with prince still trying to sort out this blue badge. I phoned them to see what was happening and the man said they need another photo. So we toddled off to swinton gateway again. Keeping my fingers crossed all okay this time.xxx

Hi Steve, for when you next drop in.

Lovely post to Rosie, but you're spot on about being told of the cancer treatment but not a great amount of the aftermath - that's left up to our good selves to deal with. 

Anyway lovey, I imagine your version of Lancashire hotpot is cawl. Marks out of ten if I'm near the correct dish.

Sending you and missus hugs xxx

Everything crossed here for you and Prince too.

Don't worry about the dentist hon, nothing fazes me, but I've to be on hawk watch for OH!

Keep cool sweetie - the Cornettos will be coming out here soon!

Hugs hon xxx

Sorry to hear OH is feeling like this. It's alot for you and for him. I must admit, I hate going over what's going on with my OH. We both try as much as possible not to think of it. Your OH sounds like he has been through such a lot. I can understand why he gets upset. However, I understand you getting exasperated as you have to be on red alert for him at all times. Wish I could get you both in a 3 way hug.

Aw thanks Uki - we'll gratefully take a virtual one.

It is tough for OH as his voice was a big part of him, and to lose that forever is going to take a lot of time to come to terms with - we'll both keep moving forward.

I hope Rosie comes back as I'd like to chat further - I can resonate with a lot of what she's going through and could hopefully give her some support.

Hugs and love to you and your OH xxx

I've missed Rosie's post. Is she a carer?

Did he have a voice like Alfonso's.

I think so - it's her husband who's the patient. She posted in the early hours but my stupid inner alarm had just gone off at its usual time of 2am, so I replied.

I know you'll give your support too, sweetheart xxx
