Awake and up all night

So sorry to hear this Julie. Stick with it things will get better. Sending big hugs and love.xxx

Thanks Gill. Hermes could not find Mrs Miggins' back alley so they've probably thrown it onto the A43 central reservation for me to spot as I drove to the hospital. I did see an HGV with hugs splattered on the screen, so the reservation aim was maybe poor. 

The replacement catheter was fitted by a different nurse this time. She got the job done efficiently and all seems ok now that I'm home again. Her technique differed from the usual. A vice like grip when shoving tubes up places must require greater force...the pinching sensations were new to me and not pleasant. A bit of an accent and limited vocabulary suggests Eastern European, possibly a retired Olympic discus thrower .  xxx

That made me chuckle Ray. Glad your appointment went well and no disasters. Sorry to hear about your altercation with the ticket machine. I am useless at any thing digital. Recently I was getting emails from virgin media who I have my land line phone with. They were changing over to digital so a nice man came round 2 weeks ago to do the deed. I have an answering machine on my phone and he said that will have to go in my bedroom. I don't want it in my bedroom but didn't argue. I am now digital but I can't tell the difference.

Hello Sonia, I wonder why the answer machine had to go in the bedroom? When I had digital/fibre optic installed last year, everything had to move to my front room instead of the hallway. Not very convenient but it all works properly. 

I chickened out of entering my blue badge details on the car park machine today. Even entering my car reg. no. took several corrections to stop letters and numbers being repeated. I simply got that in then paid contactless. Only £3 for 40 minutes. I was not there long. xxx

I think it was worth the £3 to avoid all the stress. He said because it is the main handset I have got aphone in my living room and one upstairs in my middle bedroom. The big bedroom I don't use but it has the Internet stuff there. That is why he had to put my answering machine in the big bedroom. Hope all that makes sense. I am baffled by it.xxx

Glad you got through it ok Ray. Rest up now and treat yourself to watching a bit of Olympic discus throwing on iPlayer  xxx

my hair is now beginning to fall out!!

Sorry to hear this. I lost my hair while having chemo and it was quite a quick process. I bought some hats from Annabandana.

Oooh, I'll have a look at the retailer. Was it online? I did get one hat but was told it might thin or fall out but at this rate, it'll be out soon xxx

Hello Julie (Julie2468 ) 

Sorry to hear about the hair - here's a link for you - although it's not everyone's "cup of tea"

Wigs for Cancer Treatment.

Kind regards - Brian.

Hiya Julie ️ 

Sorry for the late reply hon, fell asleep and groggily coming round.

Aw sweetheart, that's rubbish what those meds have done and I feel guilty about singing to you this morning now. I'd have kept my trap shut if I'd known.

Have you considered wigs if you lose your hair? My mam had 2 and loved them - she was much older but found them convenient and wore the turban things around the house. I think hospitals give vouchers for about £115?

All that probably doesn't help at all right now but I really hope the fits have come to an end. OH had 2 months worth of seizures and they were frightening; eyes rolling to the back of his head, the job lot! I kept a record of them and presented it to everyone we saw.

Well I'm trying to think of something to cheer you up now but have drawn a blank so I'll pipe down.

I can offer tentative, gentle hugs and hope your evening goes as well as it can. Sending lots of love sweetheart xxx
