Hope this is to everyone's approval, i will ask the Mods to close No 18, when they can..
Morning hope everyone has had a good night. Question would you avoid anyone including family if they had a cold due to your illness or avoid going out anywhere to see a group of people so as not to take a chance that anyone the usual bugs around at this time of year? Reason i ask is i seem to pick them up every week so always feeling yuk! It seems to have sent my ocd into overdrive, so would appreciate comments on what other think. Thankyou. xxx
Morning Tricia. It's rotten that you aren't getting on top of the bugs going round. Personally I ask people not to visit if they are not well but they usually stay away anyway.
It hasn't stopped me meeting a group outside. I just don't sit near them or they, me, if they are feeling under the weather. But if you're not comfortable doing that then it's not worth it.
It's a difficult one as we all want to carry on as normal. Hurry up the warmer weather!
Sending love n hugs

Morning
My daughter had covid few weeks ago, she did stay away, and if i knew one of my grandchildren, had mealies, chicken pox, or anything like that, yes they would stay away.
I have had my flu jab, and all covid jabs, you have to mix at some point, to build up your immune system..
You could wear a mask if out a lot of people do.
I always think the worst place to pick up anything, is the hospital, so many people and always so warm.

Morning Judy how are you today? Are you still sore? Thankyou for answering my post it really helps when trying come back to reality lol. Hope you are feeling a bit better since your chemo cycle ? Have a good day . xxx
Morning .I stay away from anyone who is not well watever bug they have. I wont take the chance . I still go out around town and such and you need to mix with people even for your mental health
Hi Tricia, I know how you feel, family, friends don't come near if they are unwell. If I'm going somewhere there is a crowd I wear a mask, you'd be surprised how many people ask if I want them to wear a mask. I didn't see my eldest daughter over the holiday as she had that vomiting bug. The week after new year she rang and said we're both better now you can come visit. I have noticed there are alot of people wearing masks in the supermarkets this winter. Just take good care of your self. XX

So last week or so I've been really down and crying a lot . I csnt remember who I first spoke to but it has made a whole lot people ringing me .anyway they ha e decided I need to go to physiology so have been referred to that and also I have bupa ringing me this afternoon for assessment into emotional support as I have no one around me for that never tho I have 3 grown up kids and couple of nice friends but no one to actually hug me or cry with me. Everyone thinks oh bevs doing OK her results are good and yes they are but it still doesn't stop you getting upset at thr fact you have cancer and more to the point itd incurable. Sorry for my morning rant x
