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

    what's with all these good bye's??????
    Jesus, i got a week away from other friction and now there is another dose on the Mac site, it's all the main people too, whats happening.

    I've not read back, will do in the morning when i'm back at work.
    I had a great time, no white bits, lol, loads of wine, sun and relaxation, the mountain views were great, and i found myself thinking of mum and you lot, wondering if Jac & DH were OK,
    had Ems been arrested in Blackpool,
    has Bern been employed yet,
    Is Mels drowning in the buckets of coke in the US of A,
    has Helen been on top of the missions or George,
    has Sam Sam passed out pissed somewhere,
    does Sam still own my Girls on facebook.
    how is Rochelle coping

    but it was good to get a week away with an empty mind, and Bern i did smell life again, i did breathe life again and i did smile when i thought of mum, also there was 2 times when i was lost in thought and there just in front of me was a beautiful bird of prey hovering in the curve of the mountain, i told myself this was mum telling me she was happy. it stayed there for an hour or so.

    Just so you all know I am not leaving for good just toget the holiday with the family out the way and then I will be back to hold your hands properly, I won't lie I have hit a new low but need to sort myself out and quick or I am at risk of losing everyting and I mean EVERYTHING.

    Love you all and hope those of you that are away are having a great time.

    Kelsey, I am thinking of you hunny I would not want to go back to the place you are in right now.XXX

    Helen, great to see you posting hun, give lad'o a hug from me.

    Hello all,

    Not sure what's been going on as I haven't been on the site for what seems like ages due to the fact I'm run ragged with my little man (wouldn't have it any other way though bless him!)

    Em - sending you loads of hugs and strength hun, you will get through this I promise you.

    Mel - get some rubber soled shoes so you don't get yourself bbq'd hun!!!!

    Kelsey - am thinking of you hun, and you are in my thoughts

    Barbie - yoo hoo!!!!

    Sam - hope you are ok hun, was great talking to you the other day again

    Bern - hope you are ok.

    My brain is now pickled with motherhood and I'm really sorry that I've probably missed loads of people off, but am thinking of you all and sending you all support and courage.

    Apart from walking aroundlike a zombie half the time I am ok. It would have been my mum's birthday on 17 July and I took it very badly this year. She would have so loved to see Will but I hope she is looking down on him and looking out for him. I have had lots of tears this weekend but hopefully am on the right track now.

    I am off to look on the internet for dark circle eye cream now, the touche eclait isn't doing the job on it's own!

    Hopefully be back soon.

    Love Wendy xx

    Hi all

    Sorry I've not been around the last few days, I felt that I needed to take a bit of a back seat for a while, whilst having a good think about what needs to be done next. Time is bobbing on and I seem to be in limbo land and not getting anywhere. I have decided that this Friday will be the day that I make more of an effort at Dad's house, I'm also going to visit the grave as it will be the anniversary of Mum going on Sunday and I want to take some flowers and make sure everything is ok, before I sort out the headstone being put back. There is so much to do and think about, it feels as though a heavy weight is on my shoulders. It feels strange taking things out of the house. For example, there is a dvd player that we could use at home, but I am so reluctant to bring it here as that would be admitting that Dad will
    never be using it again. I still can't get my head around the fact that he won't be using all that stuff ever again. Those of you who have been through this, please tell me I'm doing the right thing and that I won't regret making a proper start. It doesn't feel right yet but I really don't think that time will ever come to be honest. How come, after all this time, I am still thinking this way? It's strange but I can't help it. I know he's not coming back but it just makes everything so final. I've been in touch with Cruise but still waiting to hear back. Anyway enough of my rambling, how is everyone else?

    Kelsey - I've been thinking loads about you and hope your Dad is more comfortable now? I agree with Em, it's a tough place where you are now. My Dad also used to get confused and we were told it was a mixture of the drugs and just the illness in general. Not nice to see though. Big hugs hun, we are here for you always. Let us know how things go with the scan this week X

    Bern - yes, we do have a wii, it's great fun. Wait 'til you come and stay, we be competitive too, hee hee. How you doing? X

    Jac - hope all is ok as you have gone quiet again too. Have the antibiotics started to help yet? Big hugs for you all X

    Helen - I hope your day with your lad yesterday was a good one. Give SAM Sam a hug from me. Love you mate X

    Michelle - I hope talking to the counsellor today helps a little. Let us know how you get on won't you hun? X

    Melly - it's so good to hear from you even whilst you are away, I miss you loads. Hope you are having a good day today, whatever you are doing X

    Nic - it's good to have you back and I'm glad that you managed a few smiles when thinking of your Mum. I've not been on facebook for a while, will have a look in a bit X

    Em - sending some strength filled hugs your way and hope that this holiday will help you a little. It will be good to have you back here again and we will all be here waiting for when you are ready X

    Wendy - it's good to see you here and yes, it was great to talk to you again too. Sorry you had another hard day to face this week, you should have said hun. Hope you are ok too and that your little boy is bringing you so much joy. You know where I am whenever you need a chat X

    Donna - thanks for letting us know about Mel, it's good to know she has someone watching out for her over there. Hope all is ok with you X

    Rochelle - how are you hun? We are here for you, whenever you need X

    Cath - you too hun, let us know how things are, you've not been around for a while X

    Lots of love to everyone,

    Sam X

    Wendy, Em & Sam

    Thanks so much for thinking of me. It always gives me a boost.

    Mom said dad is in near constant pain now. I'm pushing it to the back of my mind as much as I can - one step at a time. I was at work today though and we were in a planning meeting and talking about end of life care, the patient's choice and how we can help etc and without realising it I had goose bumps. I'm hoping I can hang on in there at work but am also aware that one day it could take me by surprise and the contents of meetings at times could be too much to bear.

    Em - I'm worried about you. There are clearly some serious issues going on at home. Are you trying to take on too much yourself? You know we'll always try to help.

    Sam - sorry you're finding it tough. Maybe you could bring the DVD player home after all? The old generations don't like waste more than anyone - your dad would love the fact you're using it wouldn't he? Maybe I'm talking out of turn. I don't know how it feels yet. I was picturing your dad in the photo with you and wondering what he'd say to you.

    Hope everyone else is doing OK.

    hey all

    Kelsey hun a big squeeshy hug for you - it must be hard to be in meetings like that discussing those things with everything going around in ur mind. I know that words sometimes seem useless hun but know that we are all here and will listen when ever u need us. Dont forget we is all attached to the rope now and we will all hold u up in these tough times.

    Sam my yenor friend - hun we have broad sholders are like with kels are wanting to take some of the load from u - i know we cant physicly be there with u hun but we will certainly be there in spirit. I havent walked the road u are walking so will not try and give advice from that angle i know many will be able to offer u better support in that direction. What i will say hun is that u are taking those steps that u think u are not taking - to be at this point has been a very hard track and u have done it - we are all very proud of u. There is still a massive way to go and lots of fences to cross but its not a race there is no time scale on any of this its at ur pace. Now i believe it has been an age since i have told u something mmmmmmm what was it - u know my memory is not what it used to be since i turned 40 - oooooooooo there u go that was it - hee hee u is old. Big hugs my friend.

    Em my friend - u can never leave us now as u is in each and every one of us - u do what u need to do hun and know that we will be thinking of u every day. We will be here when u are ready and sorted to come back. Just remember as i think i may have mentioned above a couple a times we will be with u in spirit every step of the way hun. Now i hope u have a great holiday and that you and hubby and girls get some great family time. We promise to keep all ok here. Big hugs to u 2 hun.

    BERN - HEE HEE I SHOUTING AT U AGAIN - SERVES U RIGHT FOR HAVING A HANG OVER AS U DRANK ALL ME CIDER - hope u is snugged up and sleeping off the ill effects of booze. Promised u a pm just like sam but i know i is lazy and not got round to it yet. Watch this space.

    Melly mushroom well - i am saying this bit in my yea all american accient which sounds more like an very drunk irish man (no offence jac) - i hope u have kidnapped goofey for me yes - sat on mickys knee - and knicked minnie's bo - well it is pink. Hope u is having a good time my friend - we is missing ur wise words of wisdom here but will manage just a little longer.

    yeaaa wendy mummy wendy - how is our cyber nephew - still waiting to see pictures - hun your mum will be looking down on ur will with much pride in you all. Big hugs for last week. So how is he doing? how are u managing? are u getting much rest? oooo so many questions but will leave it there for now as u must be fed up with being asked these questions.

    Nic hey hun yes have been successful on me missions with good ol george have managed to get him out of mellys house while she is away the chains were a little more difficult - hee hee. Glad ur holiday was good and that u managed a few smiles when thinking about ur ma. She will be grinning like a cheisure cat very pleased with u mate. So our next mission mmmmmmmmm well keeping mel away from george at my house - will pm you with where i have hidden him.

    Jac hun i is sorry i no reply to ur text hun i am finding it difficult when people ask me how i is as i am not 2 sure - me age again before sam says it. I know things are difficult for u 2 hun and am behind u in all that u do. u need to keep coming on hun and talking to us - u need that outlet my friend. Big hugs to u as well hun.

    Hello donna - hope u doing ok hun and are taking thing a little easier.

    Mad twin sis - u better show up here or u will be getting kicks from our melly mushroom. hee hee

    David we are missing u and hoping that u are doing as well as u can be. Please when u are able pop on and say hi.

    Den not sure if u is popping on her still hun but sending u a big hug.

    Roch how was the holiday hun. Pop on and say hi when u is ready.

    Cath sue dawn michelle and lesley - think of u all often and hope u are all as ok as possible.

    Im bound to have missed someone - ooooooo yes

    SAM sam u drunk person - hee hee - funny how they know u so well on here already and i swear i have not told - well not lots anyway. Big hugs to u hun and will give u a squeeshy one in person tomorrow.

    If i have missed anyone else then sorry its me age i know sam.

    If i may chat about me just for a wee while if that ok.

    Been a funny time in my house over the weekend. Me lad o who is just the bestest boy i could ask for is struggling - his moods at the moooo while soooo understandable are so hard. As u all know i loves him to death and just want 2 squish him tight all the time - but this weekend the frying pan came close to my hands for his head - and b 4 u all ring child line and tell them barbie has turned nasty i refrained from doing it. Joking aside guys it is so heartbreaking to see him struggling like he is and it cuts me up to not be able to take away his hurt and make it all better like us parents always manage to do. How do i keep telling him it will be ok when he then asks how it will be ok - not an easy question if not impossible to answer. I wonder if the longer this lingers on - sorry if that sounds so horrible - the harder it is on him. Not that i wish not to be with him for as long as i can but it drags this all out for him - i know that given the choice he wouldnt have it any other way - am i making sense. Like i here so many before me say limbo land is with us and while plans are in place ready to action - every body knows what is going to happen when then inevertable happens - and whilst we are not just sitting here waiting for things to happen it is always there in our minds and must be for my son so much more 2. Please i am not being ungratefull i know i am very lucky but its just so hard as im sure u all understand.

    Im not sure if any of that made sense but hey u want to be in my head for a while where nothing makes sense anymore - 40 and everything gose mush in me head and no i dont have a hangover like our bern.

    Sorry if i have upset u all with my words i no mean to but just needed to tell someone how it was at the moment and know that u would understand kinda where i was coming from.

    Right now i have the longest post ever - yeaaaaa - and have watered me keyboard i will bid u farewell.

    I send lots of love to all and my wish is that tomorrow brings a little happiness into everyones life.

    Big squeeshy hugs guys.

    Helen - the mean barbie xx

    P.S. Have u tried the fruit pastille lollies - they are soooo yum yum. Will eat one for each and everyone of u now.

    Hey Helen,

    (So sorry to intrude guys) Just wanted to say hi again and sorry i never saw this until now (would you believe I messed up meds, have to wait till 2am to take next lot and have been reading about Einstein on net.....how sad am I). You do make sense, you always make sense. I simply can't begin to imagine how very, very hard this must be for you with J. (frying pans = good bargaining tool!) We mums always say it's gonna be ok 'cos we always want it to be that way for them and I just wish I could help you out here but I simply don't have the words as I am not walking in your unbelievably brave shoes.

    Even though you'll be in zzzzzzzzzzz land now, I just wanted to reach out and send love and masses of hugs to you and your brave boy.

    Loluv, Ang xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    ps, I love fruit pastille ice lollies and now that you've put me in the mood, i'll have to settle for a mivvi (remember them?) type ice, can't remember it's new name, as i don't have any fruit pastille ones in house. Thanks for that! X

    pps, sorry about long user-name,was done for bit of laugh with one of other girls, will change it back soon as back online. I forgot my name would change everywhere! Tired or thick? Both prob.X

    Morning

    Well, I was worried yesterday that my post was too long but blimey Helen mate, I needn't have worried! Now, you know how old I am now (as you keep on telling me!) and how me eyes aren't as good as they used to be, well I got bloody eye strain reading all of that hun, hee hee. Seriously though my friend, no post from you could be too long as we love to hear from you and regarding the content, no way is it too heavy, as you put it and I am so glad that you feel able to share these things with us here. Mate, it must be heartbreaking for you, seeing J go through this and we do understand how hard it must be, how much of a worry it all is. You just want to be able to take his pain away. I'm always useless with words at a time like this hun but what I can say, is that your lad has the best mum ever and he knows how very much he is loved. My friend, we are always here for you, you know that and if it would help at all, we are here for J too. It goes without saying (but I will anyway) that you can pm me anytime hun, I always here to listen. Huge massive hugs to you and J. Love you, yenor forever X
