One step at a time

Hi KrisPy . Good for you doing that long walk, &many more I hope. Best wishes Andy. 

Wow Dylan that view is so amazing and the sea is so clear.  I grew up spending lots of time on the beach in South Africa but now live in the West Midlands so no nearby beaches.  You are so lucky.

They had a  ‘beach’ near the old Birmingham Central Library decades ago

I do remember that!  It was great as my kids were the right age to enjoy it!

I’m sorry I was still too old to enjoy it. I’m younger now of course

I think there was some other seaside stuff there too. 

Yep - plenty of deckchairs, and a Punch and Judy I think?

Deckchairs would be bolted down now i should imagine!!!

I'm a great fan of walking around the block. I'm lucky there are bus stops on the way where I can perch for a minute. A park with a cafe sounds great. 

Hi, I can feel your pain. I was diagnosed in oct 2024. I had major surgery in Jan 2025 and now will probably have further surgery in September. 

All I can say is keep the faith, the nhs are amazing. I've got some wonderful people looking after me. Don't get me wrong, it's incredibly hard to get through but with support from family and close friends you'll hopefully make it through. 

I'm the eternal optimist and always look on the bright side. Luckily for me (or unfortunately) I had a separate illness that led to my diagnosis which resulted in surgery.

I continue to keep beating the odds and will never give up.

I'm new to the online chat thing, but hopefully there are some people out there that can make us all feel a little better.

I wish you all the best in your journey, I for one am always happy to talk it through. 

Wishing you the best.
