Even having a laugh, that is a normal life, and we all have it.
If you have a special topic please start a new thread so people that wish to see it can, and can comment.
Hi my page never lets me know when anyone posts. Any ideas how to fix it? Ellie im so sorry you have had to go through radio therepy and are wiped out although i dont know anything about the treatment. Why do you have only have half an eye from which to see is it a side effect of the radio therepy? Will it improve? As you have had an angiogram is it as painful and as bad as my imagination makes me believe.lol. xx
Oh i meant to ask are there side effects as in going to be getting an infusion for my bones.? Off to have a shower see you all later. xx
Odd you should ask the bone infusion question as this was answerd a couple of day's a go, Bisphosphonates do have side effects, bone pain, constipation or diarrhea, headache, tiredness, flu like symptoms, but which one's you get is random.
There are quite a few of us on the appointment Train, we just get on or off at different stops.
Morning Lee, you are welcome, if you are on your NHS App, there's a page explaining all the medical abbreviations, though the brain fog has hit me too and I struggle at times.
the little signs that springs on the way do lift the spirits, I noticed on Friday, the birds were singing a little more and one or two leaf buds on my fruit trees were opening,
Grey and cold today, though we are 140 miles SW of home, I hope you can enjoy a lovely walk with your furry friends today, with a little sunshine too.

I have had two, i never thought it was painful, though you know what the say, no sense no feeling, thats me.
I have been waiting nearly two years to get a cataract done.
I had a brain operation last September and a side effect , could be you lose sight in your good eye, very frustrating, no it will not come back, sorry to say.
Radiotherapy for me was easy though wearing a mask on face was horrendous, done with now the radio was on the brain, i am till standing lol.

Hi Ulls so looking forward to these lol. You wonder why it would give you bone pain as its suppost to be helping bones. xx
Oh Ellie you have really been going through the mills. Dont know why you have been waiting 2 yeasr for a cataract op considering that your vision has deteriorated . do you still have enough sight to get around the house etc? Lots of love and hugs to you.Tricia xx
Hi Eddie i am on a lap top and very incompetent when it comes to working it lol. My daughter did buy me an ipad for xmas havent worked out to turn it on! I hope you are having a nice sunday. xx
Hi Tricia, I'm having a lovely day with family and our newest granddaughters, two beautiful little angels born 5 weeks ago
I'm rubbish with technology too, my laptop is 12 years old, but I'm loathe to get another as I won't have a clue how to use it. But setting up to get notifications is easy if I can do it anyone can
PS I've had a few angiogram's, if your OK with a cannula, you will be fine
