Bowel cancer CARERS, FAMILY & FRIENDS chat

Hi Maggie, good shout about the blood pressure I will try to get it checked out. I say try because he is not an easy patient and can be a bit tetchy when I suggest anything, I have to pick my moment. Take care. Pauline x

Evening Vicky I am sure the tears will flow but for now you have a lot to sort out and you have been strong through the last few weeks just take each day and try and give yourself some you time even if it is just  meeting a friend for lunch or seeing family sending you massive hug xx

Burger King yummy, I hope you enjoyed. Just eat what you fancy at the moment many other things to worry about. Take care. Pauline x

Evening HELEN I think you are spot on I actually think we are all on autopilot these days I'm glad you made it through your birthday I think you can be in a room full of people but still feel lonely without KEV i know Simon is not slushy but we are a pair and know each other and my best friend . Sounds like you have a lovely family who are supporting you sending love xx

Morning everyone hope you all made it through the night ok spoke too soon about puppy getting better 5.30am I'm hoping it was the birds in the guttering sounded like they were having a party little so and so  animals and me don' t mix I need my sleep Simon was already awake so going to be long day weather not good. Thinking of you all today and everyday xx

Good morning. Felt really sad yesterday as Les was sleeping a lot. Looks brighter today. If it was not raining I could get back out in the garden. He is now listening to wars on t.  How depressing is that. Onwards and upwards. I feel for you but at least the puppy is keeping you occupied.  

thinking of you all Maggie xx

Morning Maggie I felt the same Saturday Simon was asleep all day my mind was over thinking everything hate rainy days bring our thoughts back and I'm better outside Simon is same war films any boring old black and white films But as we know we are grateful for every second xx

Think the weather makes you a bit sad when sun isn’t shining. Lot cooler today too. Met friends for coffee this morning and nice to see them. Life is so boring on your own and everyone else is getting on with theirs laughing and enjoying g stuff together with husbands and partners

Bless you Helen I quess everyone means well but yes I can imagine it is lonely watching people in couples I feel that even though Simon is here we don't go anywhere together soo much we wanted to do everyone asks me out but don't feel I want to love to you xx

Must get myself into gear for the mighty MacMillan walk which is less than two weeks away, something seems to come up to prevent me going for a walk. Sally says we are going tomorrow and a long walk at weekend!! Hope I’m going to be able to make it as donations coming in now.

How is everyone doing today, hope husbands etc are ok although some seem to be sleeping a lot. Take care of yourselves as well
