Thanks Owen

I'm sorry you got robbed erfra. Hope they find those responsible.

Welcome back Optimist I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Have you thought about a support group for loved ones of Alzheimers patients at all?

As far as the drinking goes, I think sites like ours are at their best when people are going through hard times - support helps - why not use us?

hi SFL long time no see

continued good thoughts and prayers Nic

I haven't spoken to my cousin yet....I keep waking up too late (already after 10pm in Melbourne) but we messaged.
According to my sister he is in a private hospital that I know well Kaneda....yes, Melbourne has the best care anywhere for sure. (Biased

).
And he is doing well. And I know my uncle.....he is as tough as nails. My grandma passed down some super strong genes.

(Thank you grandma).

Thank you so much all for caring.

Nic honey ~ I am off to grab your post.....

Well work is finished for another Saturday thankfully. Now i just need to get through the dreaded Saturday night alcohol free. I am determined that I will and my Son has even cancelled his plans with friends so that I'm not alone tonight.

I've had an eventful week. I landed up in emergency on Tuesday night after drinking 2 bottles of wine. That's not why I was admitted- I had acute pain that developed suddenly and rapidly and i was screaming in agony. My Son called an ambulance (much to my disgust)and after they arrived I was refusing to go with them. I was just so embarrassed and humiliated, and it really hit home about how ridiculous it was having liver mets and here I am poisoning my liver even more. It really wasn't my finest moment at all. The paramedics were firm but very kind, and told me that they would not be leaving without me so i either go with them now or later. I decided to shut up and went with them!
I was taken to the local hospital where I was admitted for the night, given pain relief, more scans and a very long lecture from an amazing emergency doctor. He wasn't judgemental and didn't chastise me like me own specialist did recently. He even told me that his Sister is an alcoholic with a few months sobriety. As busy as they were that night, This doctor sat by my bedside holding my hand for about 4 hours. He told me about a podcast that helped his Sister (Craig Beck) even downloading it on my phone for me. The scale of the kindness shown that night has overwhelmed me. He even went as far as calling my Son to check he is ok, and wasn't too traumatised by the nights events. I never felt any pity from him which is important to me. It just doesn't help. But he gave me hope. So I decided that I would pull my head in and give myself a chance. Even though my diagnosis is not ideal at all, I still have so many options left. It sounds like I will be having surgery on my liver and possibly the lung too depending on what the specialist says next Tuesday.

Another thing that i will offload/vent about. My oldest son Jordan has been pulled from training and deployed to Melbourne to do Covid duties, making sure that those who are meant to be self isolating, are. I knew that the Defence force had been called in, but I presumed as he still has 6 months left of training he would be exempt. This is out of my control so I just have to let it be. He seems rather excited (typical 20 year old boy!!). I am less so obviously. I just hope they take all necessary precautions.

Anyway, it sounds like it has been a tough week for a few of the 24'ers. Hopefully next week will be better for everyone.

Sorry, this has turned into yet another essay. I don't do things by halves do i- I'm either missing for months or babbling away!!

So much love to all of you. 4pm Perth xx

What a horrible thing to go through, and what a miracle as well.
That doctor might have saved your life.
I want to hug him.
What a wonderful man.

All of us are going to be with you every step darling....fighting with you.....and you have a massive amount of faith on your side.

And lots and lots of love.

Glad your younger kiddo is being awesome to his mum.
Not so glad Jordan is off to do that in Melbourne but I am sure he will be safe.
Just can't believe this is what it has come down to in my home city.
