REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL!
Part 1: I've just finished 4th line chemo, it's been really gruelling but I've managed to get through it. Part 2: My CA125 has gone down from over 1400 to just over 300 - not brilliant I know but I'm hoping it'll buy me a few months before symptoms start up again. Part 3: It's my 65th birthday today

A difficult day
Some of you may know my mum has end stage COPD, we nearly lost her a few weeks ago. She has deteriorated quite rapidly and now can't do anything at all without desperately struggling to breathe. She is now receiving palliative care at home, she has made the decision that she no longer wants to go into

Why do I feel fed up today?
I've been feeling quite good lately, although I've had depression for many years. I have had therapy and medication recently but I still have bad days. It is like a dark cloud has come over me and I don't know what to do. I'm off work at the moment as it is holiday time - I'm a teaching assistant and

Baby almost due but feeling blue
Hi to all the Mums to Be and Bumps. I've been following this site on and off during my pregnancy but never really thought to post anything before. I'm now 38+2 and getting ready to meet my baby girl or boy. Have been busy in the last few weeks preparing but just this weekend the nursery is finally finished

Coping with flashbacks from after my severe brain injury
had my SBI 50 years ago and really struggled to cope (without any help) for the first 10 years after I gradually coped with life with the occasional back slide. About 3 months ago after the death of a close friend I have being having flashbacks of what I went through during those first 10 years and

Post Interview Blog
Had my interview yesterday. The girls that did the interview were nice. The maths test went well i think. Just they asked about my experience with Excel. I had to try and blag my way around that one as ive never used it in a job. However I can use SPSS (a psychological stats based analysis softwear)

Been cleaning
Been cleaning in the kitchen, I've cleaned round 2 window frames with a toothbrush then with a cloth, I've cleaned paint of a couple of cupboard sides, tried to get the paint off the floor and then cleaned the actual windows. I am sweating like a pig, I have very anxious thoughts when I sweat, thinking

Stability in instability!
Just about the time I think my husband has reached some point of stability, he either improves some part of his life or just the opposite. I tell my friend he is incontinent and then he has several days of dry briefs. I say he is getting me up 3 - 5 times a night and then he sleeps through the night.

Update On My Dad
It's been a long time since I've been on here, this is due to my father's condition becoming worse. It has been confirmed that the Cancer has returned and this time he isn't having any treatment (and I respect that) He's getting a lot of help now from his Macmillan nurse and his Palliative care nurse

Scroll down - came up too low!! . HOW TO START A FIGHT One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift... The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "well, you still haven't used the gift I bought

Things that go bump in the day
My neighbours are moving today - I had got the impression a few days ago that it was a few weeks before the actual move so a bit of a surprise to see the removal van outside when I got back from my morning run. Saying goodbye isn't really something I'm that good at - intense emotions and I just get

The Raining Has Stopped!
Well, this time a little time passing has been a positive thing. Yes, my son-in-law's father died yesterday. It was a blessing as he was very aggressively upset and did not know his family. And it had been expected for weeks. But the most wonderful news is that my son has turned the corner and though

Could I get some opinions please......
My partner is 4 months in from a hypoxic brain injury. After 3 weeks in critical care and 2 weeks on a stroke ward he was transferred to the only rehab unit in this county and has been an inpatient there for 3 months. Physically he isnt too bad (apart from stiff joints?) and is able to carry out all

New to this so please be patient
I had a TBI as a result of a car accident in Feb 2012. I am left with double vision, nerve damage and weakness on the right hand side of my body, some memory problems and some personality changes. I am still getting use to the 'new me'. I think I like her though, I am more outspoken and confident on

"I'm coming home, tell the world that I'm coming home" 'Strength in broken places, eh?'
"Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes I'm coming home, I'm coming home Tell the World that I'm coming I'm back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong.." As nice as a song this is, the melody hurts me, leaves me tight chested.
