Hi there my name Charisse I just was wondering if you support me with my daughter lily may as she 4 year old fighter foe cancer and she got turner symdom and heart problem just need support thought it 

Hello and welcome lilymoo. Sorry to hear your daughter has several health problems.

The forum is divided into bits for specific types of cancer, bits for carers and parents etc. You will be able to find other people with similar experiences.

This bit of the forum is for people who find themselves awake overnight and you are very welcome to chat here.

All sorts of things, light hearted and serious are discussed here.

Tell us a bit more about yourself. Do you live in Britain? Do you have other children?

Who do you have to help you with caring for your daughter?

Take care

Just trying to catch up. No @Gill H?

@soc gentle hugs. I really do understand you wanting to get your pills yourself. It's like we need to know that if push comes to shove, we CAN do it.

You are however an idiot! I know this because after my surgery I was an idiot! Please, please remember that even 'doing nothing' is using up your resources almost faster than you can replenish them.

Think. Think of all that you have endured for months. The inner resource store cupboard is empty. The emergency supplies are gone. Even the secret stash has been raided.

So you are fragile and vulnerable and the sensible thing is to not do anything avoidable and subcontract what must be done. Hey, you have a fulltime job healing!

I also know my words are unlikely to change much

Rude taxi driver???? If you booked a 'wait and return' then he knew in advance and you need to report the issue to the company. If you didn't and it was news to him then unfortunately it does cause problems with job allocations to drivers and scheduling other work. Still no excuse for being rude.

Now see, I would have found out if pharmacy could deliver ASAP or used a Deliveroo style service. You could even have requested the taxi simply pick up the meds and bring them to you.

Just make sure the pharmacy has your script ready for collection.

We are rubbish at putting ourselves first. Rubbish at asking for and accepting help and rubbish at thinking we deserve it.

Ok end of lecture. You can take your fingers out of your ears now.

Awe hope everyone else who is feeling poorly or exhausted picks up soon

Cheers

Thanks H

Hope things going OK there xx

Thanks Shimmer

Hope soc and birdy are feeling just a tiny bit better.

All true what you said we can be running on empty.

Just getting through a day even if you think you've not done anything is an achievement xxxx

I've caught up a little on sleep but realise most of my reserves are pretty low.

Trouble sleeping again, but going to try get up now xx

Hugs x

Hope it works out communication is never great with the hospital!

Thinking of you hope you get to enjoy your break not having to worry bout the appointment and they come back with info soon

Xxxxx
