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."

Night night lovely, and sleep well xxx 
I once needed a new ID photo for work with our Local Authority so set off to our Civic Centre to book a photo appointment. It was absolutely bucketing down but I got there and found the right floor and the counter and pressed the bell.
A youth appeared and I had barely gotten the word 'photo' out when there was a flash!
WHAT? 
You can't do that! sez me. 'Its done!' sez him and he was gone.
I waited for the new photo ID to arrive, and waited and waited. I picked up the post one day and yes! But no! It was an ID but of some fat, old, bald BLOKE!
No wait! It was ME!
Cheers and nyt if you have gone
I do despair. I know those training in medical fields have an awful lot to master and new developments to keep on top of etc. but I believe those who will have contact with patients should have communication as a core skill.
I don't mean be a raconteur or polyglot but that they should have a working awareness of all the different ways in which people communicate and the factors which help, hinder or prevent.
I spent years working with autistic children so communication was something I had to think about. Words can be a minefield of ambiguity and confusion and fewer and precise is definitely best. Sometimes words weren't an option.
Anyway, where words are, what and how things are said... I think some medics were obviously off sick the afternoon communication was taught.
For example... smear test, nurse up to her shoulder inside a young female, they probably shouldn't wear a confused expression whist saying 'Well it's not up there is it? Stilllll we're all different!'
Cheers
Well from the car incident one was fighting for their life. An eye witness of the driving but not the crash believes may have been 5 in car. There is no 'free' or unsubscribed news on an update.
