All the best n take care  

Good morning FarmerD,

I'm happy for you that your cough is disappearing, it's really wearing when you have to keep on catching your breath.  I think 10kg is about 11/2 stones, which seems a lot to me, so keep getting those supplements down you and certainly you need to contact your Hospital.

I gave up trying to post even letters to HU around teatime yesterday - they kept disappearing. I don't think the site is very stable at the moment. 

Hope you managed a good night's sleep.   All the best.

Hi Ya D

Yes 10 kg is alot...22lb in old money. Let's hope you can get some food down you soon and it stops in you for a while.

In the meantime, keep on those milk shakes.

Good luck when you speak to the hospital.

Thinking of YA Farmer D....Ya Hear ! 😂

Hi keep us updated please take care

Hi D, good news about the cough but don't you go wasting away now. Good luck with everything and take care. Xxx 

Glad the cough is easing take care x

Hope your feeling better soon.

I wouldn't worry re weight Farmer, it will soon go back on when your feeling better, wish I could lose some (blame the daily steroids!) We could always open our own drug store! Xx

Hi Farmer that is a lot of weight pleased the cough is clearing take care

Wishing only good things for you, Farmer.  About time things started to improve for you. 

Milk shakes fine but what about chocolate, cream cakes, nice creamy rice puds, buttery scones and such like - you have a perfectly good reason to eat everything that's normally on the banned list. Glad to hear you're seeing off that horrible cough.

Hi Farmer,

 if you find the milk supplements a bit thick and sweet, try the juice ones instead............... they do a lemon and lime one that is brilliant, I might try it with a dash of vodka.

Hi Farmerd
