Hi All,

Just a word of warning with Bio Oil. I managed to stain my new leather suite with Bio Oil, despite always having a large clean towel under me.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Sandra,

This is good news.

Here's hoping that the good news continues at each annual check.

Kind regards,

Hi Cornishpastie,

I am sorry to hear this, but it is perfectly normal. You'll have good days and bad. Let yourself sleep as much as you want and don't stop yourself from crying. This is a great stress reliever.

There are many different emotions covering the whole range from anger, depression, denial, worry about family, extreme tiredness, crying, impatience, worry about work, financial problems, sickness, pain, fear - the list goes on and you will probably experience many of these to start with. These feelings are all perfectly normal and will lessen with time.

Rest as much as you can and don't feel guilty about it. Your body has had quite a shock and it needs to recover.

It does get better, but as for the crying, I think that I don't cry anymore because I'm all cried out!

Be good to yourself,

Kind regards,

Jolomine xx

There is ni good today its al bad bad bad.

Omg I feel like someone is just playing a cruel joke on us right now. We have had nothing but crap in the last 6 weeks. Theres a few things have happened that ive not mentioned but its just too much now. First my diagnosis out of the blue Then partners work van stolen overnight Then my long stranding back prob1lem flared up (has improved) Then partner signed off work sick as large gas canister rolled fell on his foot (Had a tendon reconstruction in this foot 2 years ago after severing it). Has to see consultant Thursday. Now tonight someone just tried to steal the car from outside the house. I know it's just a material thing but Im just thinking what else, what more has got to happen. I'm so fed up. I feel a bit beaten. I know it sounds stupid but it's like life is picking on us at the moment. Is it wrong to feel like I just want to run away from my life right now. God I sound pathetic. Over a car!

So sorry to hear about everything else that is going in lovely Cornish. I hope your partner gets well soon. My husband is struggling to run his own business, do major decorating on the house, cope with his health issues and of course put up with me! We're here to support you xxx

Morning cornishpastie.

usually post - post schools run but just seen yr post (I get up 6:30 to head t daughters t get lil ones up nd fed nd watered ready for school run) anywhose....

Well bless... no wonder you are feeling so low and victimised. I named this thread the good nd the bad to reflect exactly how I was finding life not just my body nd mind but life in general because of the impact life could have on me. Tbh the bad nd the good didn’t have to b huge life changing things because small things could tip me over the edge to either sadness or pure joy.

with everything happening to you - not just to you but your partner too who will b feeling low as well. Then what will undoubtedly feel like attack’s on your home. Yup triple whammied bless. 

If you were reading this as someone else’s experience you would b jumping in to support- knowing how totally...sucky...this situation is. 

Of course you are feeling low.... who wouldn’t even if you took your disease out of the mix - you’d still b feeling... sucky.

Going with potentially partners tools may b gone too. Is he self employed ( cos that will b double sucky on all fronts bless).

I know you aren’t normally someone who cry’s.. jolamine is right it’s a safety valve. I’m not a cryer.. but in the early days ( like u are in) I used t deliberately put on sad films to watch. I used to ball my eyes out with snotty,  sobbing, hiccuping tears. Much more than either the plot or the acting warranted:-) I had found my release. Then I’d get up have a cupp nd think u silly *** you... but did feel better. Then I’d put a comedy on lol. 

So.. we want to b here for you for the good and the bad...share if you want to - we will b here t listen nd have yr back. There is no right or wrong way to deal.. just how it’s is.

eee me dear hope when u get up nd open ya curtains ya grass is still in ya garden cos sounds like they are taking  out ya eyes nd coming back for ya sockets:-/;-).

hugs me dear x

Not pathetic at all! Some drunken *** down the road rear ended my beloved old astra whilst I was doing rt, cos of the age it was written off straight away. She denied it to begin with byt my lovely vindictive neighbour got fed up and went and told her he had it all on cctv! She caved! i feel your pain! Also had to replace an external door that had jammed shut with a new one. Stuff comes in batches it seems oh and roof tile down in storm Eleanor!

I’ve seen that film advertised warrior but not seen it yet. If scary got t watch through the day cos I’m a scaredy cat lol x

Lol me too jolamine me too:-) thank you for you well wishes and support... even at discharge it kinda never ends does it. X

The post Xmas lull is a pain for the self employed ( son in law is nd daughter will b when she finishes her apprenticeship). Nd no sick pay or holiday pay... apart from that it’s canny lol x
