What I do- is be a friend, not judge- I listen, drink coffee (der!) and just be with people- to understand. As to how I feel- doing ACT stuff with psychologist- explained in COM'16. I feel calm, anticlimactic (no more burns unit being a big part of my life), accepting-calm being the operative word.
Great we are getting all this rain.

Crois ! Wow, that came out of the blue, what happened ?????
Mags, so sorry about your mil with dementia, it’s such a cruel bloody disease isn’t it. My Dad has become very forgetful over the past few months. I just have to stay patient and imagine how frustrating it must be for them.
I got some sad news from one of my best friends today. Claire, the lovely girl I worked with rang me and told me the chemo has stopped working and her tumour in her liver has doubled in size.
They are going to try a new chemo tomorrow.
Her doc told her not that be too hopeful and it would be a miracle if she makes it to 2 years
He said it will be more like 2 months if she’s lucky.
I’m pretty upset. We are very close.
Bloody cancer grrrrrr.
Mum had her other cataract operated on yesterday and I’m taking her back for her follow up tomorrow. She’s so happy with her results
Now she can enjoy reading again , bless her. :-)
I’m loving our colder weather , hope you are too Pj.
Give me the cold any day.
Croutie one day at a time for all of us my love. You may not have the financial stability you thought you and your dear hubby were going to have but you still have each other.
Things have changed yes , but you are both alive and have each other .
You can still make a happy life for yourselves with less money.
I’ve learnt to and I’ve never been happier in myself.
Your hubby loves you and you him. That makes you richer than a lot of people in the world who are alone.
You’re such a lovely person, I truly hope you and your hubby can finally accept this and move on from it to enjoy each other’s company and not live with feelings of angst. It only eats away at you.
I hope you can both find some peace with this, especially your hubby and enjoy this wonderful time of your life, because life can be really good and money isn’t everything xxx bless both your little cotton socks honey xxxx
Bob how are you going my friend xxx
Suze I see you still keep our beautiful Gilmore page going, that’s so lovely honey xx
Hi Leshar , big hugs to you and I hope Tiki is feeling better lovexxx
Hugs to you too Dee as always xxx

Prayers for your friend, Snooz.
The Burns Unit people were not at all phased by the infection, and told me it was rather routine, but to continue on the AB's my doc prescribed. A productive visit- because I would rather be paranoid and get affirmation- than not do anything. Also - the senior O/T spent a goodly amount of time with me- going thru 'nerve exercises', she thinks part of the weird sensations my hand has- is because of a trapped nerve.
Re-enrolment at my art school finally sorted.

That’s good news PJ! Pleased you sought out help! 
Hi Julyers
I’m in an upbeat mood this morning after having two days with a debilitating headache. BLood pressure too high too, doc was going to send me to hospital, but first sent me in the waiting room with a cup of tea, and one for Mr.Mags too! (That was a first!) Then sent for me after the tea and was happy to let me go home with a follow up appointment next week.
Hope it’s a good day for everyone, sending love and hugs

Thanks everyone. No Snooz, not out of the blue. I’ve mentioned it before a few times that it was on the cards.
its emotional, but that’s ok. I get to feel it, not drown it,and although that’s hard, I’d rather that than the delayed pain drinking gives.

I am sending so much love dear CW. You are brave and so wise....doesn't make this easy though. I hope you have people around you taking a bit of care of you right now. ♥ 
Great news all around PJ.
You too Mags love, and boy do I like your GP.....good old-fashioned sense. So pleased that horrendous headache has passed and your BP is down.
And love and hello Bob and Snooz and Croutie and Dee and where is Pete?
