Winter workhorse + Health update

[N4LLY]

Sorry to hear you had a rough time and had to be rescued. You’re probably anaemic - can the hospice arrange a transfusion if needed? It might make you feel more yourself again.

Transfusion, there's a thought.

I have Nurse Hailey from Hospice coming round Wednesday, will add to list of questions.
She iis nvestigateing Steroids again also, they seem to do some good when i have been issued with them
She also making appoint on Wednessday with Maxilliofacial unit, hopefully find out what's going on with these bleedout's

Later's.

Thinking now, should we send off V5 now and change registered owner ?
If they dont get on with it or not pratical enough, then could alway's use as a PX for something decent ?

If they don't get on with it or not practical enough. How could anyone not get on with it and practicality doesn't come into the equation.

Its a 35is in Valencia Orange. What's not to like?

Stayed at The Grand on a business trip about a decade ago and the thing that sticks in my mind was the shot of whiskey option in the breakfast porridge. An option which was taken up of course

I took one of my granddaughters out In the car (booster seat and all) the squeals of delight were something that will stay with me !
She, at only six years old, has already put my car on her list!

It's a 20i but you got the colour right!

Sean (N4LLY)...I have been reading this thread but not really replying as I don't know what to say (first for everything).

All I can say is I wish you the very best and I am thinking of you (quite a lot as it turns out).

[dr_john]

I don’t know what to say either, other than best wishes, which is pretty feeble. You are in my thoughts also.

I had a fairly serious skirmish with the big C some 12 years ago but I’m still here now.

[pvr]

Terrible what happened again, but glad you have your family around who are helping you.

When my first wife was embroiled in her battle with it she struggled to talk openly as she felt she was burdening people.
I hope that by being able to write to a community who are mostly no more than avatars to you that you are finding it a way to share your thoughts and if it helps even a tiny bit then we should all be thankful.

[N4LLY]

Pondrew, dr_john, I can imagine it would appear difficult what to say some times, worrying you
might offend or something. Trust me, i fannot be upset. So even a "Get well soon" message is good

enuff_zed, You may have noticed i am not shy
I just hope that i am shareing my personal experience without to much grim detail and gross graphics.
For example, That first bleedout picture and a photo of me without b shirt on !!!

For those wondering, Mrs N4LLY has been aware of this thread and yes has login details

When my first wife was embroiled in her battle with it she struggled to talk openly as she felt she was burdening people.

When we lost our baby son, I went around telling everyone I met. It was a weird kind of 'release' for me.
I soon learned that it made people really uncomfortable and would avoid me like the plague. They still do 18 years on TBH.

N4LLY, I’ve been following this thread from the beginning and like others have struggled on what to say, you are a true inspiration to others suffering with cancer and other terrible conditions, and I take my hat off to you for how you are dealing with it. Keep strong and keep the updates coming.

Hi Sean, really saddened to hear of your recent problem, I think you did really well to attempt it never mind to get where you did. Now I know a bit more about the disease and it’s consequences and the effects of the treatments and all the medications that is all part of the treatment it is no wonder we are continually shattered and totally lacking in energy.
Whenever I go and see one of the specialists, their first question is always “ well, how are you feeling today” and if they have a sense of humour I reply with “I’m just thinking of some polite words to say”. generally the reaction is “that’s OK I’ve heard it all before” and much wose probably.
For all the good about using morphine as a pain killer, the side effects can be horrible.
All very best to you, keep up with the banter, best regards Mike

Flash backs to mine

Sean, Keep the updates coming especially if it helps you to have an outlet. I certainly helps me and no doubt others, to put our comparatively minor problems into perspective.

Don't let your latest set back stop you from making the most of what you can. You are an inspiration and you deserve whatever pleasures in life you can still experience

[N4LLY]

ronk, Pondrew, dr_john, pvr, Chippie, ekimj10, Nanu,

Gosh WOW you guy's Your words have made me feel verry happy this morning and cheered me up no end
after a really miserable (In every way) week.
