My partner Martin was diagnosed with this horrible desease on june 19th 2008. I am so scared of this monster of a disease, why does it happen, where does it come from? Cant we find a cure? please God find one soon. There are htousands of new cases every year why cant we save these peoples lifes from this horrible disease.
Isn't it funny how life changes. You are now the ones waiting for your parents to text you saying they have arrived safely rather that it being the other way round.
My youngest has just passed his driving test and my two boys are now driving to their dads (about an hour away), I can't wait to get the text saying they have arrived safely too!
Gayle - I'm glad we haven't had your storms. We have lovely sunshine down here in the south which does lift the spirits.
I hadn't realised the time. I'd better go and get showered and get off to see B.
Debbie, our posts must have crossed there, I hope that your mum and dad have a great holiday, I know that you will worry though, wish them well from us.
Evening all,Mum and Dad finally got away ,and can you believe it after 3 days of stress and putting Dad through alot of upset they hadnt reserved medical seats on the plane and didnt ask them to produce the Blooming "fit to Fly" letter which I was told if he didnt have he wouldnt be allowed on the plane.........just you wait Thomson untill my day off on Wednesday!!!!
Anyway I hope you have all had a peaceful weekend and I wish you all a week full of love and strength for us all.
Gayle-thanks for your post ,havent heard from them since they went through to the gate.But Im sure theyve arrived safetly Love to you and family x
Carrie-you are so right I am in a whole new role,parenting my parents(as well as my children)cant say I like it...both my parents are such strong individuals and to see them both not coping is just dreadful....wish life was different for us all.....if only !!!
just wanted to check in and say hope all is as well as is possible for all tonight -
Debbie - glad your folks are safely up and away - God speed and hope they have a jolly good time!
Lesley- hope your Dad's feeling better and your Mum's coping ok
Carrie, Gayle, Jay, Diane, Izzy, Emma, CH, Julie - be thinking of you all and wishing you and your darlings well. David and I are away tomorrow til Thursday night, off to stay at Park Attwood clinic where David is booked to have Mistletoe therapy ... Going to give it a shot and see what it can do and as your roving reporters, will be back at the end of the week to give you all the lowdown!!!!
So now we've Emma and Matthew at Royal Marsden, Debbie and her Dad shortly to be investigating the trial at the Beatson and now us dotty pair reviewing the scene in Worcestershire - it's like Nationwide - oo-er now I'm showing my age..... Anyone else? Head massage in Hertfordshire? therapeutic feather tickling in Fulham? Bottom bashing in Bolsover? I'll try anything if it does the trick...
Seriously - will miss you all - be thinking of you and sending good vibes and druid magic and all that Mistletoe stuff - (tho' discovered to my horror there's an alcohol ban in place at the clinic - shriek!!!!!!) - especial thoughts to Carrie and Jay - we're all rooting for you and your men and wishing you love and strength and hoping for some happier days for you xxxx
ps Diane and Carrie - i do mostly landscape painting - website is www.jomarch.co.uk -
Well, got to go - socks to pack, moustache to pluck, alcohol to cunningly conceal in the toilet bag (bottle of wine stuck down a pop-sock??)
Debbie , glad your mum and dad got away ok, what a disgrace with them not even asking for the letter and not reserving the proper seat for your dad, we are flying with Thomson too and have reserved special seating and assistance, I will call to double check tomorrow.
Joan, you and David have a great time away, I can feel that it will work wonder for you lovely man, make sure you sneak in enough wine for yourself lol. I will have a wee look at your site tomorrow really tired tonight cant keep my eyes open much longer.
Joan - Now I know where greyhound comes from? I loved the pictures. It was good to see a picture of you too and to put a face to your name. Enjoy the clinic. Hope your smuggled in booze isn't discovered.
I never thought I would say this, but Hooray! The weekend's almost over. Tomorrow when I get to the hospice I can start nagging them about B coming home.
Carrie -Good luck on your nagging quest ,keep going till they let B home .Love and strength to you both xxx
Joan-Fantastic news I would lick a baboons bum if it would help to stop or at leastslow down the regrowth.(PLEASE LADIES DONT FIND THIS ON AN AMERICAN WEBSITE AS IVE PROMISED DAD ID DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!) Heres wishing you a wonderful time at the clinic hope you can smuggle at least a couple of glasses to celebrate the gift of being in Love!!!!!!!
Keep looking at my keyring as I type There is only one happiness in life to love and to be loved. How true for all of us (mum just text arrived safe and sound Dad exausted,looking forward to some sun) Take care all Debbie
Good morning to you all. I hope today is a better day for those of you going through tough times.
Emma, Debbie, Carrie & Gayle - thank you so much for your welcome. It is definitely helpful to be on here. I can see why you all get so much strength and support from this thread.
Debbie - how wonderful that your parents have managed to go on holiday. I hope they have a really lovely time.
Lesley I hope your Dad's leg is starting to improve. That must have been a shock.
Carrie I'm sorry to hear of your hard times. You're right it does seem that a lot are going through bad times at the moment. I really hope your man will be home with you soon. It must be so hard. From reading your profile it seems as though things have gone downhill quickly since the first round of treatment?

Joan, Just had a look at your site, fantastic you have a real talent, as Carrie says I know how you got your name greyhound, I can draw houses with square windows and stick men thats about my limit lol, hope you are enjoying your break.
