Awake and up all night

Thanks Soc

Hubby wiped out by the therapy  but much better than last week 

It was an amazing time and my son used to put the poorly ones inside a big sock up to their little arm pits then nurse them watching tv bit like babies they sleep better sometimes with the sound of a heart beat l guess when they aren't well. We even found out about guinea pig dating. There was a service near us where you could take your piggie to a play date and they made new pals that way. We were going to take our lone pig to it as his pal passed but then another abandoned one turned up so we didn't need to.

Hope you have a peaceful nite xxx

Hey Dingg. I tried, and failed, to get off to sleep again.

Love the story about your lad and the guineas - I love folk that are kind to animals too, and rescue them from fear and misery. Good hearts ️ 

That's really good news that hubby's started to pick up, let's hope the therapy is working its magic. Hope you're feeling better too hon xxx

Hi. My first time messaging during the night. Really not sure if anyone is about but even typing this is helping me as it’s occupying me. Can’t sleep and I’ve actually poured myself a small glass of red wine. Which I know I shouldn’t be doing but glory be!

Hello. My first time here. Not sure if anyone is still around. 

Hi Kenzie and welcome to our group.

My phone's playing silly beggars tonight, so there could be delays in replying. Anyway, yes I'm still awake even though I've tried to get off.

What's keeping you up hon? Are you waiting for results or something else? xxx

 In Limbo. Can’t sleep tonight but most nights I do. Tonight I am feeling very alone and I am not alone but I can’t burden those close to me.
 I’m on the start of the unknown journey with Bladder Cancer. Tumour to be removed in 2 weeks and biopsy taken. Still awaiting results of CT scan of everywhere below chest. Ugh! 
 Please tell me, if it’s not too emotional for you as you are also not asleep!, your story. I’d very much like to know the journey you are on, have been on.

Firstly lovey, I just want to tell you I'm sorry that you're taking the journey, but hoping once things get moving everything will work out fine. We've got a lovely poster called Ray, and he's in the bladder cancer group as well as here, so you'll probably come across him really soon.

I'm not the patient but I'm my OH's full time carer, as he had larynx cancer. He had a total laryngectomy almost 18 months ago and is now mute due to the nature of his surgery. If you're still wide awake, you could press my username and find more details of our journey on my profile. I've not updated it since last June and loads more things have happened since, so I'll have to go back to it.

Kenzie, I doubt a cheeky glass won't do any harm love, just try not to knock the whole bottle back right now! Sending hugs xxx

Hi. I have checked you out. You are wonderful. Your journey has not been cancer free even although your body was not the host. Love suppresses the burden. How wonderful that your partner is now cancer free and how wonderful of you to be supporting others, being myself tonight. Who supports you. This Forum?

Aw thanks lovey, you're very kind but I'm just one of many here, all supporting each other. Yes, here and a smaller group I'm on is where I get the majority of support. I also get a lot of laughs and banter and it really takes my mind away from the more pressing issues.

I know you said you don't want to burden those close to yourself, so this is a great place to come to for support, advice and just general chat whenever you like. You'll soon feel right at home xxx

Thank-you and a very good night to you. It has helped me just being able to express thoughts for this short while.
