Awake and up all night

Stu, good morning and welcome.

I'm really sorry hon, but I'm having some problems here and playing hokey cokey with the site.

Right, seems to be playing nice now so I'll start again.

Stu, welcome. Are the sleeping tablets you're on keeping you from sleeping, my lovely? Seems an odd question but how are you feeling now hon? xxx

I can't imagine how much both of you must feel robbed. Like many of these journeys there is so much involved moment to moment and driving away from the cliff edge that there isn't the  luxury of time and space to consider the landscape of the destination.

Good grief could I get more flowery? Maybe Hallmark have an opening? 

Site is trying to hide my post before I even post it but I have jiggled and persevered.

Cheers 

Btw I gave you sparkles, a wand and hoped for a crystal ball!

The cauldron's much more me, sweet pea.

Yes, robbed but...I was told OH had 3 months, tops, if he didn't undergo radical surgery so it was a no brainer. There's been many times since we've thought 'but at what price' as our lives have altered in every single way since then and it's bloody hard work to keep the show on the road.

I think being stubborn and keeping a SOH does the trick, and also wanting my own way. I'm not high maintenance but a spoilt brat. Should I bottle it for future partners of laryngectomees? Could be a nice little earner xxx

Yeah the 'no option, do it now' is what I was trying to capture.

I do hope Stu is able to reply. I looked him up, sorry, looked you up if you are reading this, and know you are new here.

Take care

Well that post wasn't clear but given the glitches I didn't even try to sort it.

Btw, what did you do with your lime green hair?

Cheers

Stu, if you'd like to come back I can assure you you've not entered the mad house.

I apologise, as I misread your post between the mayhem, and now realise you were asking about being given sleeping tablets.

The people to ask are either your GP or team at the hospital. Let them know you can't sleep and they'll make sure any tablets won't interact with any current meds you might be taking.

I hope you're feeling ok and have someone with you for support. If not, you'll find plenty here. Forgive my earlier lapse sweetheart xxx

The lime hair.

Well I'd bought my usual colour, blonde something, and applied it as usual. I might have just gone over the time by several minutes, I did, actually, and by the time I was hanging over the bath with the hose trickling through my hair I squinted and felt a jolt of heat in stomach area - yep, green witchypoo hair. So I spent ages with the hose, frantically scrubbing with my free hand, and the lime started fading. I caught it probably with seconds to spare..

Then I put the luxurious conditioner on, rinsed and dried it and it came out ok, albeit with a hint of algae.

It wasn't long after that when I quit dabbling and let nature take its course as I'd frightened the life out of myself. I had work the next day too. Bejabers xxx

Thanks Gill and gang

Yes it went ok, l was nervous of the crowds of people and very nervous at the start of the service but did feel bit better at the pub.

Seeing everyone talking and having the food did make me feel a bit better though l was too tense to sit down and stood up talking to folk.

Hope everyone had days with some positives

I have a doggy bag and am actually sat up eating buffet food now,  not sure what personality type that is !!

Chowing down on pies at 2 am, thinks l need to move to my family roots to Yorkshire to fit in somewhere

Remember eating chips in Bridligton as a teen, late, after watching the fishermen coming home in the snow on their boats...what a wonderful world to glimpse..

Sending hugs xx

Sounds like me clock watching through the night, got my bedroom door held open with a welly boot to get fresh air in..

Great name Thora, sounds great, enquiring mind is a gift x

Hope you are feeling ok x

Hugs xx

Hi Amandas 

Yes, l think the fatigue thing seems to come with the chemo. Sorry they delayed the final treatment but going by what happened with my hubby and a few pals too, they do pause it to make sure you are ok and you have time to get stronger.

I'm sure you know so much about all of it now. We all seem to need to grasp so many medical issues its a lot to take in.

Hope it went ok or that you know when it is set to restart

Sending an energy hug

Must tell Gill that l just invented an energy hug xxxx
