Hello Max

              I am so pleased to hear that you made it home for christmas but sorry to hear of all your problems which seem to make my problems seem like a candle to the sun, and i am bothering you and people like you with my petty problems but my chest is so sore still and the medication does not seem to be working but at least i grinned and bore it over the most holy and feastive days so as not to ruin it for ever one else as it is not their fault or worry,. I hope that you had a really good day with your damily and nothing spoilt it for you.

Hi James ... thank you for your kind words. Like I have said before, every one of us copes in different ways and no one's journey is any less important than another's so please don't make comparisons. I know my prognosis is poor but I have no daily pain to deal with at this present time and can understand how you must get very run down with that to deal with everyday - it must be exhausting!  How are your family and what did you all do on Xmas day? Have you got grandchildren James?  We had a nice lunch out and then went to a friend's in the evening - it was an easygoing and pleasant day. X

Merry Xnmas .Max and Family

                           Hello Max did you have a good meal and afternoon/night? with everyone around you, Yes i do have Grandchildren three Boys one Girl and another Boy due January, and yes our Xmas went as well as could be expected i hid in the Lounge while they had their Lunch which was not too bad as my Eldest daughter understood and we were at her house, after lunch we all opened presents and played some games, even though i took a small part in them i did manage to hide my pain quite well and my wife took me too and from my daughters in a wheel chair which we loaned for the purpose, i would never of managed to walk the trip when we got back home i had to go to bed and watch tv there and also let my pain out which helped, I do understand what you say about all out paths is different and no person is diffefent from others it is just that i am just putting up with pain and useing my mind to hide it where as your case is very mind orientated and it is there all the time ok like my pain but in the end i can get over that. anyway have a Merry time for the rest of the feastive season and a long and hopefully happy New year

Hello James,

  So glad you managed a bit of Christmas with your family. I am also glad your daughter was understanding about your need to be without them whilst they ate.

You sound like you managed your pain until you got home. Hope things go well for you in the near uture and the nursing staff keep an eye on you.

love and hugs

Annabel xx.

PS. Thank you for the thunder and lightening which we got in the evening. Couldn't quite get my head around thunder & lightenening with snow and hail. he ho. xx.

Hello again Annabel

                   so pleased you had a good Christmas and heres hopeing that you have a prosperous and good health filled new year, well you finally got the Thunder and Lightening but we missed the snow and still have not had the snow, any way to get back to more important things yes Christmasday was a good day i managed to hold off the pain untill the night time, when i just had to go to bed my children still dont understand and moan and it makes me feel a lot worse but still perhaps one day they might understand why, but i hope that when they do they dont feel too bad.

                                               love and best wishes James XXXX

Hi James

Just wanted to say that I was glad to read that you 'managed' your Christmas the best you could and will keep my fingers crossed that you move forward with you medical care/treatment plan soon after your January appointment.  Fingers crossed our internet link will stabilise now though our landline is still very crackly following the high winds.  We managed a lovely family Christmas and hubby is now catching up on 'missed' naps!! (whilst I get back to the enevitable housework routine)!!  Take care  Jules xx

Well hello Jules

             It is nice too sse that you must of had a good Christmas i do hope that your Hubby was well or as well as could be expected, I went to my Eldest daughters the wife hired a wheel chair so that i did not have to walk infact if she had not then i would not of gone, while they all enjoyed their dinner i sat in the lounge and did not have to watch, but then i enjoyed the afternoon untill 3:30 when II could not hold the pain off much longer I went home and lay in bed dozeing and watching tv but apart from that i enjoyed the day thank you.
