I know that started this brilliant idea so I wanted to carry it on for her and as the forum has become a little gloomy recently as we face loosing them both soon.
So
1. daloni and dizzie outlasted their prognosis by years and I am sure proved that you can have quality of life despite doctors best guesses and we all benefited from knowing them on here.
2. I just got back from a fabulous holiday in Galicia, northern Spain. I walked more than I have for months (chemo pushed me into a wheelchair) the food and wine was fab and I met old friends and laughed a lot.
3. Macmillan have admitted that their upgrade has been a bit sh*t and are working on improving it. Hurrah for Macmillan who have admitted it didn't go well. How many organisations actually come out and say that.
I don't like to think that newbies think that we are a miserable lot, what struck me on here when I came was how much joy, laughter and living went on despite cancer.

1. Boots have my meds ready for collection today. Ran out of one of my pills now.
2. Husband’s carers were here when food order was delivered so they brought it in and put almost all of it away.
3. Found earbuds that came with my iPad. Only had machine 2 or 3 years!
Nice when things go right for you WishingWell.46, hope you have plenty more good things to come. X
Morning all. The birdsong is incredible this morning 3 good things
1.My sister came over & we went out for our 1st walk since I toppled over in the chair. My OH made the ramp 6”wider where it turns the corner so it’s more like a landing strip & really easy to negotiate.
2. Sula walked behind/beside the chair beautifully, and came up for a ride.She got far too much attention that way though, I’ve got her a therapy dog harness & told her she starts today.
3 My sister had a tiny go in the chair & was amazed how sensitive the joy stick is. We had a really good laugh, I was inside & she went gliding past the sitting room window. I couldn’t see the chair so it looked like she was floating/flying.
My sister’s been here every day since I got out of hospital, and is starting to see all the positives in my situation. xx
I have been watching magpies build a nest
Planted more spring bulbs
Ate a huge bowl of ice cream with a flake and wafers
Keep safe x
Your chair sounds brilliant and good fun with the dog xx

You would never have thought you would be posting this just a little while ago. Your sister getting used to things is a massive three things I think. Xxx
What a pleasurable day Fliwerlady, you are living up to your name. Xx
I've just realised, being slow on the uptake, (SiT will confirm that) that the 3 good things are making all of us reading them as happy, if not more, than the posters!
Am I odd or am I odd?
