Well I am struggling to get my head round the fact we are now in Dec!
Not even got a photo to share , however I will get one and we shall press on .
Off to the hospital for an appointment with mum today . Think they might see some progress .
Hope today is kind whatever you are up to .

Thank you @court and @karen062, can’t tag either. Hope the new hips are making life easier for you Karen, and hope your mum is improving Court. Xx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
It's been a funny old month. Waiting for latest bloods to come back to see if my recent deterioration is in any way cancer adjacent. But have spent some time helping two friends who have both got new diagnoses. I have steered them to these forums. Here they will find more reassurance than I can offer, I think!
stoatlord Hi Robin. Good to see you popping in again just like the ones in my garden - the robins that is not stoats! Sorry to hear that you’re not doing too well but how kind to still be helping others. Hope you get the bloods back quickly and they are able to improve your condition. Please keep us posted
Take care
Karen x
That’s beautiful.
A very Merry Christmas from me and my family too . I second the thanks to everyone for their kindness during such a difficult period . It strengthened me a lot .
Thinking of everyone who is balancing treatment or trying to recover just now . Do what you can not what you can’t as my old boss liked to say !
take special care ,

Thanks Court. My friend was leaving as deputy and taking on a new school. I wanted to give her a personal reminder of our time together at St Mary’s and I must have drawn at least five attempts. I realised that I needed to connect to the subject. So I got my daughter to model. Changed some features. It’s her eyes. It’s strange though her middle name is Mary. Twas meant to be.
My dear friend died of an aggressive breast cancer a few years back but that copy of my drawing brings her back to me and the wonderful times we had

Has anyone else noticed that the "more" button has disappeared from their posts on here.or is it just mine.?
I used it a lot when I hadnt noticed that post chemo fingers had caused spelling mistakes and was able to edit posts after I had sent them.
Thanks
Kath
Ps.a very merry christmas to everyone
Hi @Katz51. My ‘more’ button is still there but last time I tried to edit a post it didn’t seem to work! I’ve also flagged up with the tech team that I don’t seem able to tag people anymore although sometimes I can - not sure if it only works when it’s the first reply to a post?! x
Thanks Karen.I did ask on the contact bit of the site(not sure hiw to access tech team) and got a reply saying there should be ...to click on but mine isnt showing any dots.
Hehho Never mind people will just have to put up with my spelling mistakes
