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."

That's the ticket - getting spoiled with your own pad should work wonders with your recovery!
Wishing you all the best sweetheart, and get well soon xxx
You’ll get a bit more peace in your own room. How are you feeling today-did you manage to get some rest?

Morning Dingg-that’s lovely news to hear hubby’s turned a corner. What a lot you’ve both been through with one thing and another and what a relief he’s doing better.
Gill will need to get you a nurse badge once you’ve done your training! I’m sure you’ll cope fine, but no doubt you’ll be nervous the first time-deep breath….you'll be great.

Morning Dingg 
Fantastic news about hubby and things are looking up for you both - exactly what you need right now.
Although I was given lots of printed information during my training, I still took down plenty of notes just to be double sure of what to do. Once he's home, very soon hopefully, you'll quickly establish a routine until it becomes second nature. I set up a 'nurse station' so all OH's med supplies were close to hand. It's still in situ now!
I googled about those stones you mentioned but couldn't pinpoint them. Lots of others in and around the area though and all within thirty miles from us. I doubt we'll be visiting anytime soon as the terrain looks too bumpy for OH to manage with Walter, his trusty stick!
Take care sweetheart and fingers crossed for another positive day. Love and hugs xxx
Morning Sarah
This is the best I could come up with for Dingg's nursing badge xxx
Edit. The system obviously didn't like emoji and wouldn't upload. Grrrrr
Morning Julie
I was wondering where you'd got to and was getting a bit anxious. Glad to hear it was problems with the site - I've been having some too.
How are you doing sweetheart? xxx
Hello Gill (Gill H ) and Julie (Julie2468 )
it was problems with the site - I've been having some too.
I am sorry to read that - I am aware there are a number of ongoing issues and they are being fixed. If you let me know just what your issues have been I will pass them on to the Technical Bods to see if it's a known issue or something new.
(it maybe tomorrow before I get back to you as i am off on a well needed break shortly 
)
Kind regards - Brian

Thanks for that, but it wasn't anything too pressing - I was logged out a few times mid-typing and others' posts were delayed for a while before suddenly appearing. I'm sure any glitches will get sorted.
Anyway, you look forward to your well-deserved break my friend. Safe travels xxx
