Hi Jules just joined and saw your post above I would love to read yours from the beginning I started a journal when I was diagnosed beginning September mine is called “ my unexpected journey” it would be good to know how others felt similar emotions feelings and shock that I felt and went through had my 2nd chemo today so I know there will be nights that I will lay awake so this site hopefully will be a great comfort I do hope your journey is going as well as it can with not too many bumpy roads xx
Hi and welcome to the forum which I hope you will find supportive. My story is more that of my late husband as I joined when he was diagnosed and the support of the forum for nearly three years during his illness helped me considerably. Since he passed away in January 2015 the virtual friends I made here continue to chat and show me kindness just by listening to me rabbit on!!
You are more than welcome to post on my thread but it may also be worth starting a thread of your own and perhaps mentioning the kind of cancer you have in the title. This way others who may relate to your own personal journey can respond and I am sure there are many who will definitely understand the sleepless nights along with all the emotions you go through as you undergo treatment and wish you all the best with your treatment plan and hope you have family and friends who can also be there for a support network. Jules
Evening Brian, hope Mrs B's scan result is okay and there is nothing drastic causing her deafness. Also hope you have both warmed up after your arduous journey this morning - don't think I would have fancied that!
Very snowy and cold here in east London, as most of the country.
Lovely photos as usual, Jules, thanks. Good job you took them when you did, bet the garden looks a bit different at the moment!
Stay safe on your journeys to an from work - I'm so thankful I don't have to travel to work at the crack of dawn any more, especially when the weather is like this. I remember it well!
Hope you are safe and warm. No more snow here overnight but everything frozen solid so have decided to have a 'stay at home day'. Bathroom now has no running water so well and truly 'living in the dark ages' with a bucket ha ha. However my next door neighbour called at 8.30 am to see how I was and also apologise as the terrific wind last night had torn down two more fence panels. Her husband cannot repair at present as he is waiting for op on a double hernia. Told her not to worry as not causing any problems at all and when she heard about the bathroom situation offered and 'open door' to their facilities any time over the coming days. She is at home as her college has a snow day so she is working from home. Very sweet of them.
Fingers crossed that Mrs B's scan throws some light on the reasons behind the ear problem and hopefully can be treated. I bet you were very pleased and relieved to be back indoors.
So far so good with transport links round here. Tubes have been running fine so did not have to revert to a bus. Not working now till next Wedenesday so should all be gone by then. Just waiting to hear if the plumber is still able to start work on my bathroom as planned next week............would not be surprised if it gets delayed.
My daughter in law due to have 20wk scan today but not sure if they can get there as no idea how much snow they had. My daughter finally had snow yesterday and it came with avengence sono school for eldest grandson today though Zack's pre-school is open and he is delighted as all dressed up as a crocodile as part of World Book Day (yesterday) celebrations. Our World Book Day plans at the shop had to be cancelled as the schoolchildren could not get in. Such a shame. Think they are considering doing something smaller this weekend for visiting customers. I will no doubt find out next week.
Our delivery driver finally made it to store by late afternoon (accidents on the roads caused usual delayd). He would have had a worst journey back no doubt. Town Centre was pretty quiet yesterday but pavements were gritted and getting about ok. Just a shame we had electrical problems in store so no heating, lift and escalator. My colleague spent 25mins in the lift until engineer got there to 'free her'. Left her a bit shaken and cold I can tell you.
Well the bird need fresh water and feeders filled so will put on yet another layer and venture into the garden as more forecast for snow this afternoon.
Hope you safe and warm. No problems getting to work as tubes were running yesterday. Mind you it's been a long time since I wore so many layers!! Have got up this morning to a 'freeze' and no running water in the bathroom; what fun!! Lovely neighbour been in to check up on me and has offered use of their facilities as and when required bless her.
Here is my garden at present but apparently we may have more snow due this afternoon. All my daffs are ruined/buried in their tubs in the front garden but they were lovely beforehand!!
Hi Jules, lovely photos as usual. Glad you now have use of your bathroom again, not really the right weather for house alterations is it?! (Added to which a cold shop to work in as well, poor you!)
As with you, the thaw is setting in here, so maybe back to normal next week.
Bathroom only 'frozen' for a day or so. Renovations start this coming Wednesday (whilst I am at work) and plumber rang today with timetable of events. Should be pretty manageable.Have waited a year for my plumber to be free so happy to be getting it done and have weekends away next month to look forward to. At least the temperature is now a balmy 9 degs ha ha.
Thanks for your kind comments re photos; glad you enjoyed them. Think I need to find some new subject matter when the weather improves!!
Hi Jules we were lucky with our bathroom our son is a gas fitter and told us to go to our caravan for three weeks he did not say why properley but we new it had something to do with our bathroom .What a shock when we came home a new walk in shower, new loo ,and wash stand with cuboards the lot and would not take a penny of us. if you go on his site it has comments like, Karl does a great job but he is always very hard at it and you can not get him..That speaks for itself .,nice and dry in timperley today and not to cold had two good walks with RIA .regards to you lol
Unfortunately cannot move out during proposed works as still need to go to work and though both my children offered refuge travelling would be an issue ha ha. Still, only me to consider and know the workforce (they did my kitchen a couple of years ago) and no doubt all willbe fine in a couple of weeks!
The snow we had has now been replaced by mild temperatures and the daffs are 'in recovery'. Great that you and RIA are still enjoying your walks. Take care of yourself.Jules
Hello George, nice to hear from you and glad you managed to get through the rough weather. (Hope your son didn't send you to your caravan during that!)
Hope you and yours are all well, and Ria of course. Take care, Hazel xx
