Lovely to hear from you Laura, and I hope we speak soon, although I think you might have been responding to steevs lost on my thread.
So this week very busy at work, January I March busiest time.
Updates on family
Mum is recovering from her 36 hour ordeal and can now walk again with the aid of the stick but is black and blue. An alarm and shower is being fitted by the local authority. She hasn’t had her hair done which she does weekly and it bothers her that she hasn’t. She thinks she might be able to walk down locally. Spoke to her. Yesterday, she is ok.
My brother in law isn’t doing great and has trembling legs. My sister is having to do everything for him as well as work full time and get over her chest infection.
My son was away this weekend delivering stuff to Holland and has just come back. A friend has given him a pram, car seat and Moses basket. Good stuff. A 17 week scan all good, due third week jUne. Grandchild no 6 and his 4th child.
This week the most upsetting thing was my friend with cancer texting me to say they think from a ct that it is in her lungs and liver. The news was delivered badly and then she is to have another scan as this one was deemed inconclusive. This upset me and I went back to computer game that I can’t get off my system and the company refuses to do anything about it. Didn’t spend a huge amount. Felt a lot better when I spoke to her today, she sounds ok and strong in herself. She has been having bleeds and transfusions and is now considering low dose chemo and radiotherapy. A very close friend of hers is an ex Gp and holistic practitioner. She keeps telling her to do natural therapies which had a detrimental effect on my friend, I said she is not her GP or oncologist and she has no right to influence her by telling her if she does chemo or radio then she will die. I think this a despicable abuse of friendship. I asked her if there is anything I could do to help and she said could I visit her next time in hospital. She finds cancer lonely and she has fevers intermittently. It would be an honour to do anything I can to help.
I have had a lazy weekend resting and just having family phone calls.
