Well here i am again at 4.30 in the morning and i can't sleep yet again!! My husband Darryl has terminal small cell cancer and, at the moment is going through a really good phase. Which, i would have thought, would set my mind at rest and enable me to sleep. But no, here i am again having had 2 hrs sleep tonight wide awake with mad thoughts running around my head!! This is driving me crazy and i just seem to be on auto pilot all the time. Darryl is 44 years old and we have been given a prognosis of a 2-3 year life span for him. I can't seem to let go of this thought, and maybe part of me can't sleep because of that, as i feel if i'm asleep i'm wasteing precious time!! Darryl is sound asleep and resting well, and if i stay upstairs next to him listening to his breathing, i keep thinking is this the last time i'll ever hear that and end up getting so uptight and worried that i find it better to just get up again. So i wander round the house do a few chores, have a hot caffiene free drink and will myself to sleep all to no avail i might add!! hahaha surely i'm not the only carer who never sleeps, or am i????? any comments gratefully recieved. Take care my friends and hope your all sleeping well. love and hugs mel xxx

    Hi Donna, that's terrible! I hope you make a complaint and make them swallow their words (so to speak) and get an apology? Are Paul and Taylor fishing or just out on the boat, why aren't you out there with them or are you just enjoying the sun and 97 degree heat :-) we are starting to cloud over here now, typical rainy evening in store me thinks!! how many hours ahead/behind are you to us? Hope you are all ok and sending love and hugs to you all T xxxx

  • Hello, Donna, Caz sneaked in here for a night, did ask permission, lol! But she managed to get tickets for the Nelson Mandela gig in Hyde Park and so wanted to go but wouldn't have been able to drive straight home after, so stayed the night here! (cheeky moo!) We will see her on Tuesday, she says, when we will get our heads together and sort out the trip to Cologne. love to you, from me!
