Sorry for my absence....

[chardonnay]

Thanks Everyone, you are all the most caring, supportive and wonderful people in the world and I love you all. Gary and I have super support from MacMillan Cancer Care and St. Peter's Hospice here in Bristol. Our G.P's have also been amazing.
Unfortunately Gary's spinal secondaries mean he has a collapsed vertebra (that is what causes most of the pain) and tumors on two more spinal bones. Hence he is bed bound and now paralysed from the waist down. Due to this we are house bound and so I'm now finding time to join in the forum again.
It feels so good to be back!! I hope you are all doing well and that life in these hard times is allowing you to live comfortably. xx

I'm glad you've got some excellent support. How awful that he is bed bound now. Is he ok in himself? Well as ok as you can be in that situation!

I think you are brilliant. It is good to see you again though even though it is in such sad circumstances.

Hi Kallis,
We're OK, I take every day as it comes - although that can be scarey!! It's not a good day today - been up since 3am due to hubby's back pain. Still such is life, we cherish every day we have together. I've answered a few posts and hopefully have been of some help to others!! x

[kallis3]

Sorry it's been a bad day, I hope it gets better!

I am sure you will have been of help - just concentrate on Gary when you need to and we'll not be going anywhere anytime soon!

[chardonnay]

Hi Kallis, things can only get better. I'll try to keep helping as I know how much all of you have helped me through my difficult times. xx

[kallis3]
