Awake and up all night

Hi Kevin, and another warm welcome from me, to our friendly little thread, though I'm sorry you too have cancer for a second time, and I will have everything crossed your lung resection goes as well as possible on Monday, I had rectal and prostate, rectal wasn't a problem, prostate manageable, though recent mets to 3 more bones, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, and pancreas, will change that, but not today my friend, theirs usually someone around if you fancy a chat, we're a friendly bunch.

Eddie 

Evening Eddie, though I'm really saddened to hear about all of that. How you manage to stay upbeat I'll never know but I suppose wallowing doesn't do any good.

On a much better note I read an earlier post that you were on the train from Paris to Milan, which must have been an amazing journey. I hope you've reached your destination and are relaxing right this minute. Have you taken a supply of dark chocolate? I put two large squares of Lindt 85% on LOH's breakfast tray every morning as he loves it.

Have a fabulous time in Greece and look after yourself as much as possible. Sending big hugs and love to you all xxx

Hi Kevin, sorry to hear your troubles and on top of that the cancellation of your op,all goes well on Monday ,

im afraid my sleeping is different don’t ever seem to be able to drop , let alone stay asleep,

especially as another requested appointment with hospital tomorrow and loads of questions,

this “C” chat just doesn’t seem to give up , his fourth visit to me , he seems to revisit so many of us .

good luck thinking of you on monday

Hi Gilly, the train to Milan was nice enough, but most of it was at night, so we saw very little and our hotel was just outside the station so saw little of Milan too, though the train station was impressive. The train down to Bari was really nice, watching the locals getting on and off and the scenery was fab, sadly we arrived in Bari in the dark, we decided to walk to the ferry, stopping for a coffee on the way, we're sat outside 4 1/2 hours out of Bari looking at the stars before bedtime.

Oooh Lindt chocolate for breakfast, only the best for LOH, and why not, after all it's good for you. Well my friend we have another 13 hours on the ferry, then a 2 1/2 hour drive to the villa courtesy of Lesley. Well, what's the new bedding like, is it all you hoped for a d helping with your sleep.

20C tomorrow, scorcher, then its all down hill.

love Eddie and aunties xx 

Good morning Eddie if you're still awake  

Well it's a pity a lot of your journey was in darkness but the rest sounded fantastic, and there'll be loads more to come, especially if the weather stays good for you. The new bedding's everything it's cracked up to be, very warm and snug. I was gearing up to try for some kip but LOH had a big wheezing and mucous excretion so I called him down for a neb session and new filter. He seems settled now but I'm back to wide awake. This rotten disease manages to get its grip on us all, in every way it can.

I'll see if Gill (Briars) is still awake as she's finding dropping off a challenge too. I'm unsure if you're in front of our time here, but you try for some sleep too Eddie, so you're fresh for some nice weather and scenery. Huge hugs to yourself and the aunties and I'm sure they'll look after you xxx 

Good morning to you Gill R, and I'm hoping you manage to get some sleep in, especially as you've got an appointment coming up. Sending best wishes and good luck with it all my lovely. You've had more than your share of rotten luck and it's high time you got a break.

It's sounding like Eddie's in for a lovely time and weather, once all the travelling's done, and I'm hoping he'll send us some photos as he takes some smashers.

Fingers crossed for you today sweetheart xxx

Thank you GillH  for your kind thoughts ,I’ve  gone from a straight No more to trying to get questions answered.

Eddie’s a wonder man yes would be lovely to see some photos ,first time I went to Greece I drove down for a month and stayed 6 ! Those were the days, but good memories.

hoping your doing ok ?

and maybe managing some sleep,

im just going to have another go

Hi Gill H again this has just come through to men, your right it effects so many partners .

You all do so wonderful well .

im going to have to get some help to get my head round this wonderful site after tomorrows over as I’m getting so many repeats  and I need to read your profiles to learn more about my new friends.

so glad I’ve  found you all,

nt again and hope you both manage a good one .

Hi Gill.

Yep, I love hearing about Eddie's exploits on here but I'd be worn out attempting even half of what he gets up to! He's certainly inspirational but you seem to have a lot of fun stuff from your past too. When you're able, go look up those friends and try for a visit.

I'm watching a film just now, which is a good one as I've seen it before, but it just might send me to the land of nod. It's on quiet and I've not heard any more wheezing from my chap for a while, so he's probably there.

Yes, you try for some sleep, then you'll be alert for the appointment. I'll wish you night night, and we can chat soon hon xxx
