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

    Mind that will please chickie teresa as will be a shorter name! lol
    I know if a starter motor gets stuck on a car if you get two people to rock the car from side to side and someone turns the key in the ignigtion it starts!!
    Just a little tip incase it happens anytime. as it has happened to me on other cars before.
    I think you're doing the right thing keeping your phone off for a while it may get fed up trying then.

    Chickie Twin Sis Sue Flat Butty Mophead Madwomanxxxxx go girl..I managed to copy and paste!! so no excuse now I'll get it right from now lol!! Don't take any crap today/tomorrow, I'm exactly the same as you with Michaela's dad..you either stand tall or keep out of the way, I usually do the latter as like you I wouldn't be held responsible for my actions!! If I was estranged from Michaela and she lived with him and his wife and half brother and sister, going through what she is, I would ring her daily to see how she was doing and feeling...does he? NO!! much love and hugs T xxxxxxx
