...here we go again

Hair's always good. Especially with winter looming. Mine grew back same colour, but absurdly curly. Sort of like a dodgy 70's perm. It's straight at the roots now, but still got curly tips.

Jane, look after the skin. Definitely keep on going to get it checked. It will clear up quickly, but you don't want to risk an infection.

Kurri, will nip round and daub a red cross on your door tomorrow then. Am liking the bag idea.

DS managed to change after swimming into his pants. Hooray!! One small step it maybe, but still..

Thanks everyone for your lovely thoughts, I do read your threads on a regular basis and know I am so lucky and I send all my positive thoughts to you all. My BC was diagnosed just 2 weeks following our DD's death and somehow BC took 2nd place, I was too busy grieving to take it all in. Poor DH was fantastic.
Re abdominal pain have had a hospital a referral and have been given Tramodal and have bought loads of Movicol.
Good luck and love to you all.
Please don't let me put anybody off having a breast reconstruction, it is done differently now. I do not regret having it done my boob is beautiful!

Well done mini smee changing out of trunks! I have been known to go home from beach with clothes over swimming cossie, but that is in the summer with no changing facilities...

Must have been awful to lose your dd 2old. That puts bc in perspective. Good that you have painkillers and referral - hope it is not too long to wait.

I am going to have to reduce the amount of time I have been spending on the computer. Want to go back to work soon. I think I will feel better getting back to a normal routine and I quite miss the people I work with.

2old2bea, you should drop in more often. Always very, very welcome. At the very least let us know if you get abdominal pain sorted. Hope it is soon.

My darling Dad just passed away. Peacefully, about an hour ago.

oh kk - I am so sorry - bless him and your dear mum and you of course xxx

KK - so sorry to hear your news. Hugs to you and your mother.

kk Such sad news.

kk woke up this morning thinking of you - I hope you managed to sleep.xxx

KK, heck and triple heck....so very sad to hear of this

KK -So sorry for the loss of your darling dad, it's some comfort to know he was peaceful. Sounds as if you have a great family to rally round. Lots of hugs.

Oh kk .
So sorry to hear this .
Hugs and sympathy to you and your family .

KK I'm so sad for you, your Mum and the rest of your family. Love and hugs.

KK I am so very sorry for you, your Mum and the rest of your family. For him, it sounds like a peaceful way to go, and maybe he would prefer it this way? I remember your stories about him, he was such a remarkable man, it must have been hard for him to be going downhill by slow degrees. I wish him peace. Lovely old chap.

Timing is not good for you, of course, you must want to be with your family.

I am thinking of you for your treatment. x

Thank you all. I am at sixes and sevens today, trying to get my head round it all. I have cancelled my treatment, and they will send me a new date. I'm getting the train down to mum's tomorrow, - she wanted a day by herself to gather her thoughts, but she is being very brave.

He became very ill with pneumonia over the last two days, Mum was asked if he took a turn for the worst whether she wanted him rushed by ambulance to the bigger hospital. She knew he'd hate that and be distressed by it, so she turned it down, and he was able to die peacefully, rather than in the back of an ambulance.

I've been talking to my sister this morning, and she said everything I'm feeling - what do we do now Daddy is gone, because he was the one we'd turn to when something terrible happened, and he'd always be strong for us all.

Oh, Kurri so very sorry to hear this news. Good that your Mum feels she made a wise choice and that your Dad wasn't being rushed about at the end.

I wish you all strength as you comfort and support your Mum and other family members. Take it steady and look after youself too. x

Oh KK, you poor love, fwiw I think you have made a really good decision to cancel your appointment, the thought of having to be shut away from all that you need go through emotionally with your family would be unbearable. Darling Dads will be remembered, and I think in that respect we have been so lucky to have had them.

absolutely right to cancel treatment as you all need to be together- I am glad that he died peacefully and not being 'worked on' . Your mum sounds amazing. Take great care of yourself- we will be thinking of you xxxx

Ah Kurri, so, so sorry to hear about your lovely Dad. I know you were sort of expecting it, but to lose a parent is incredibly tough whenever it happens. Sounds like your mother made the right call, and rather lovely that it was peaceful and they were together. Take care of yourself as well as your mum and sis xx

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news KK. May your dear dad rest in peace now. It must be of some solace to know that he went peacefully. Your mum will be glad to have you and your sister with her to comfort each other. Thinking of you x

Thinking of you kk. So awful losing a parent. I lost my Dad 22 years ago just after I got married. We were grateful that Dad went before the ambulance arrived as he was spared a resus attempt. He had been very ill with leukemia for 7 years but it was a shock when he went will a massive heart attack. I still miss him but know it was the right time for him to move on.

Hold on to all the good memories of your dad and he will stay with you.
