Hi All. How is everyone doing? Anyone stuck indoors? Remember, this is a support group, and things don't always need to be medical. There is usually someone here if you just want a chat, a moan, or any stories. My wife has been stocking up on paint, so guess what I will be doing in the near future. Best wishes.
I’ve not got much time at the moment to keep up with everything Angela, but I do think about you all….its been nearly a year since I joined this fantastic group…the dog had his stitches out yesterday, he’s well on the way to a full recovery…we have to limit his exercise so he doesn’t overdo it…he’s lost half a kilo in weight also…so happy with him…
did you get to Maggies? I’ve not been yet…I’ve fallen back into some old habits…thinking because I’m ok at the moment I don’t need the help…
hugs to you and your family… xx
Hi Nigel, almost a year later from diagnosis, where has that time gone ? I am delighted that your furbaby is doing so well, they are a precious family member, full of love and mischief, all the things that lift our spirits.
I didn't make it to maggies, I got to the outside and turned around . I think I knew somewhere in my mind that I would probably be balling my eyes out for the duration, and didn't really want to open the floodgates tbh. It happened anyway when i visited the grave , you cant keep these things in too long, they always find a way of coming out ! Anyhow I will take your hug and send one right back at you Nigel.
PS I don't suppose Spurs are helping ones spirit, I am glad to say City seem to be on the way back but we will see . Probably get thrashed by PSG tonight , and they aren't very good hahaha
Much love Angela x
Hahaha to be honest Angela, I watch the games and think..” I thought I had problems “
im having to limit the dogs walks, he doesn’t understand why he can’t go to the park…
I came home for lunch today and had a nap, he got onto our bed and crawled under the covers and snuggled into me…he is so loving…I’ve got a strange feeling that City will win the CL…I think for me now would be the best time to go to Maggies… when things are going well..a good cry is good for you…holding it all in just bottles it all up..
I hope your feeling a bit better….here for you….
love Nigel xxxx
I don’t come nearly often enough and I do keep trying to make an effort to come on more.
But while and when I’m on here I’m here for you all too in any small way I can be and anyone new as well.

As a certain song goes “I’m doing fine nowwww”.
I was buzzing at hospital wanting to get discharged and in an unusually happy mood too, the stuff they use is bloody good that’s for sure kinda wish I could have even a microscopic amount to use at home
I think it is understandable how celebs get addicted to the stuff because they can pay private docs t give it to them.
Still pretty buzzing right now tbh

We all wish we were not here that’s for sure, but we are where we are, and come together in any way we can and try to help and support each other and any new journey partakers, so it’s not all bad.
OMG where is all this positivity coming from doomy old gloomy me. I think I had a lobotomy at the same time and they didn’t tell me or I’m high as a kite still maybe
I promise normal service shall be resumed ASAP

At least I’ve not said I love you all and being really soppy even though we are just faceless people on a forum oh wait…. I sort of have now oops
Lots of love strength and positivity to you all, well we have the hatrick now, a bit down with going back in , ecstasy and now soppiness, Sorry normal service will be resumed at the earliest opportunity.
But if even my ramblings bring even a tiny smirk to peoples faces reading my inane drivel then it’s all worthwhile.
