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."

That would be a great prospect for the little fella, Helen.
In my very large family that was, all my uncles, cousins and dad could find their way around engines and motors even if it wasn't their learned trade. The money saved on repairs, etc. was vast. When we used to go out for trips, dad would tackle any car breakdowns himself and if he couldn't, he'd call the AA or RAC.
As Remy gets older Alan could encourage tinkering, as not only would he enjoy the muck and oil he could become an engineer himself and follow in their footsteps.
Crikey, in 15 years Remy will likely be driving you and Alan around! xxx
