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."

This was me yesterday! Someone knocked before 8.30am luckily I was up and dressed! Got my 2 sticks and hobbled to the door. Guy and a lass there complete with toolbags and a clipboard.
They must have seen my confusion-but they were there to do the gas boiler service which I’d booked a month ago and completely forgotten about.
oops!

I’m so glad your hubby is ok after what happened, Dingg. Not what either of you needed at all but I’m pleased to read your hubby is safe and hope he can settle.
One time I was in a ward after my stroke with a woman shouting all the time and pressing her buzzer, having the nurses run ragged and disrupting all the other patients. I’m afraid I snapped and let my mouth rip! I know I shouldn’t have done it, but it had the nurses smiling and I felt better for it.
Hope you can manage to settle too tonight and hopefully get some sleep.
