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.

  • Right, here we go for my first ever 3 good things.

    1.  Had my second vaccination, my wife has hers in 2 weeks and she's beginning to get a little confidence to travel to see our new granddaughter who will be born in around 3 weeks.

    2, Spent around an hour and a half of quality time with my youngest son (37). Although he still lives with us I don't often spend so much time with him but he went with me to the Ulster hospital just outside Belfast where I had my vaccination.

    3. When I was parking at the hospital, my best mate from the MacMillan exercise class parked alongside me. I thought I might see him because he was there when I had my first vaccination but we didn't get much of a chance to talk then. This time though, he was put in the same bay me after we had our jabs. Apart from a passing hello at the time of our first vaccination, it was the first time in over a year that we had a chance to talk because our class has been suspended for over a year since the virus rudely interrupted our lives. We're looking forward to seeing each other again when the class resumes, hopefully soon. Week after week for about 3 years we were paired with each other for the exercises.

    So that's it folks my first ever 3 good things. I could have said that Mrs Tvman  and I finished our (very painful) project to clear a bank of shrubs and replant it with 8 azaleas and 2 dwarf rhododendrons but I'll post about that in the gardening thread.

    Take care everyone

    For someone with your username, Tvman, you don't seem to sit down in front of the TV much! Nice to keep busy and keep moving.

  • Oh dear Simon, you've done the right thing,  how would you manage if you tore a tendon by pulling up a weed. Better safe than sorry my friend.

    Love life and family.
  • Ruth, have a lovely day and enjoy the fish and chips. 

    Love life and family.
  • Stuart, I hadn't thought of that!

  • Yes it was so good to go somewhere different we had a view over the valley while we ate fish and chips.
