Hi All,
Merry Christmas to you all and I hope you had the best Christmas you could have. I can’t get back to our previous discussion. My hubby ended up in A&E on Christmas Eve with a high temperature but he was discharged on Christmas Day with the news that this is probably due to the cancer and that it’s now in his spine, which could result in paralysis. We are devastated and he now thinks that he won’t pursue the oral chemotherapy he planned. I’m heartbroken. It’s been the worst Christmas since my mum died when I was young. I feel like I’m failing him now because it’s a struggle to keep going on every level for us both. I don’t know how I would cope if he became paralysed on a practical level. I don’t want him to be anywhere else but home with me and this is where I want him to end his days. Has anyone any experience of this please?
best wishes to you all xx
Hi NannaFizz , well I had that Jack Daniels but I saw out 2020/saw in 2021 with my son watching Jools Holland same as any old year. My better half was always the New Year party animal but this year he slept through it all.
Actually we managed a really nice relaxing New Year's Day as a family. We played board games in the afternoon. We had bought a new game to play. My daughter had thought the instructions would be simple enough for my husband to follow but sadly he couldn't get his head round it so Jenga and Ker Plunk it was.
I hope you're doing ok in this crazy surreal new year.
Big Hugs
Wee Me xx
