This is the start of a new journey for me and my much loved friends from the original Oesophegus thread on general discussions.
We have become a close group and this will be our new home to continue our journey as life has become very hard for many of us and we keep re-living our journeys with lots of newbies which puts us all back a bit.
So my lovely friends Mel, Sam, Helen, Bern, Jac, Nic, Dawn, Sue, Cath, Lesley, Jani and the many other special friends Mel and I have made over the last 16 months this is it we have a new home.
Love to all and extra strength to carry us through our next stage XXX

wishing you all a very good weekend. Sending you oodles and noodles of live and hugs. Bern xxx
Jacs - you didn't come back on today. Hope thats cause you are busy and everything is ok. X
Update on DH....yip another infection back on antibiotics thats the 3rd in 6 weeks. DH thinks he'll manage meds orally this time but who knows...been a funny day....going to make the children their tea....humm bit tired now!
I'm having a wonderful time, apart from nearly being struck by lightning about 10 minutes ago. No kidding.
I had to come to the office that manages all the villas as they have free broadband internet, as our villa has dial up. It is a colonial style house (the office) and as I drove here a tropical storm opened the sky.
I legged it into the office, and asked the girl behind the counter if I could use the internet, she looked at me and said "can you smell burning?" the hairs on my arms started to stand up and there was this humming sensation and then BANG ! Right outside the office door. A lightning strike. Perhaps Mum is feeling a little lonely and wanting my company?????
Anyhow, how are you all? I've been thinking of you all loads, and including you all in my prayers every night. I've met mickey, minnie, stitch, mike, mary poppins and shamu the whale, but I'm still missing you all.
Going to sort some pm's and I will be back in a bit.
Glad to hear from you Mels ...been "passion" (say with broad NI accent!) down here too! Hope you haven't been exposed to many unpleasant colonial sights.... Are you having a great timewhilst the rest of us are here getting on with our chores.......I hope you are... Whats the plans for the rest of the trip...bit of sight seeing?Cann't wait to you get back, enjoy your holidays!
Bern thank you that's sound advice. I don't know what to think really. The GP found he'd taken some tablets incorrectly but I think she remains unconvinced that was the cause of the confusion. My brother thinks it's the morphine. Mom thinks it's the medication mishap. I really don't know what to think. I can't remember him doing much more than sleeping really for months. He can fall asleep mid conversation. I just think we have a long week ahead. Was your dad confused all of the time or did it come in pockets? The GP said she was amazed at how well he's done so far so I think she's been expecting something for a while to be honest. Thanks again Bern.
Mel - you make me smile so much. How is it that if something's going to happen then it involves you?!! Now stay out of trouble. I don't want to hear that you 've been fighting wales!
Helen.... hope you are loving your "nothing day" .... I love those types of days too..
Mel & Nic... guess your still having lots of fun!!
Em.... Thinking of you xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sam... Youve gone quiet.... Weve lost our rope builder!!!
Bern.. Hope you are having a nice weekemd, and enjoyed your night out the other eveing.
Kelsey... How's Dad? My Dad was very similar.... lots of hallucinating and confusion. I know its so hard to watch them detoriate like this, but I just keept telling myself that it wasnt Dad.... it was his illness making him like this. Dad's illness had spread to his liver, which meant that all the toxins from the chemo and oramorph had gone to his brain and thats what caused his hallucinations etc. During his final days, they did get his med's sorted so that the confusion became less and less. This is just a difficult time for you and your family now, but although at times you think you wont be able to do this... your body will find that extra energy to carry you on. That is why this disease can never break us..... the bond of love is far far stronger. Sending you much love
Jacs... How are things, thinking of you xxxxxxxxxxxx
Rochelle... Hope your holiday gave you plenty of "me" time and bought some smiles to your face.
I'm seeing a counsellor tomorrow from Dad's hospice, in a strange way I'm looking foward to it as it will give me another opportunity to talk her about him, as she met Dad a few times during the last months of his life.... but he wasnt really interested in talking to her as he found what was happening to him very hard to talk about.
Anyway, just off to take kids onto Brighton Pier..
Can someone explain what has happened to the site?
You can do it by pm if you wish, as I've just logged on and have recieved 6 goodbye messages. Do I need to change my deodorant or something?
Any how, weather is lovely but hot hot hot. Food is lovely but I have got to the point of "please stop feeding me, I can't take anymore" and tomorrow we are off to either universal studios or aquatica.
Going to mooch through now to see if I can get the gist of all the drama.
Glad to hear from you Mels
whilst the rest of us are here getting on with our chores...
....I hope you are...
Cann't wait to you get back, enjoy your holidays!
