OJ if we can do anything other than say a few prayers please just ask. Hope the treatment helps.

Oj, so sorry. How very very wasteful, those 3 lost months. The biggest waste there could be. Who knows if things could have been different, but it I am angry to think that time was wasted, not treasured.
I am sure you and Steve will NOT waste the time you spend as a loving family.
But I am so so sorry that things are this hard for you.

LadyVictoriaOfCake · 15/08/2007 22:37

OJ, my love, i may not be about much these next few weeks, but you have my number, any time day or night, if you cant get hold of me, leave a message.

Hope you can have as good a day as possible tommorrow. You will never know what difference those months would have made now but it was 3 extra months of not facing this awful illness i suppose if that helps in any way.
Try and smile together tommorow and fill the day with as much love as you can.

gess · 15/08/2007 22:44

((((OJ))))) I hope you have a peaceful lunch.

Make sure you ring SS as well and dare them to not bloody OK your direct payments overspend (or email me the numbers - think I posted on ch's today so it'll be there, and I'll make the phone call for you).

Oh I'm glad OJ that you don't have to play silly SS games at this time. I know you have a goood bunch of people employed through dp's - keep using them.... xxx

TheQueenOfQuotes · 15/08/2007 23:14

oj - so sorry to here this

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 15/08/2007 23:15

Have a good lunch tomorrow. Enjoy the time you have. My father was given 6 months to live but went on, mostly in good health, for over 2 years. I know it's not much consolation for knowing what will eventually happen, but much living and loving can be achieved before the end.

I'm so desperately sorry though. Love to you all xx

ShinyHarryPplHoldingPortkeys · 15/08/2007 23:26

OJ ((((((hugs)))))) Just seen this.

Thinking of you all xxxxxxxxxxxxx

TotalChaos · 15/08/2007 23:27

sorry it's been such a grueling day.

onlyjoking9329 · 15/08/2007 23:44

we will have a good lunch, last time we did lunch seems ages ago, steve is a bit funny about going out as he still has a black eye and a huge scar which he will hide most of under a hat. if it is sunny he can wear his sunglasses too

OP posts:
gess · 15/08/2007 23:49

awww - it's amazing how quickly he's back on his feet after such a horrible op though. Tell him to wear his sunglasses anyway....

aloha · 15/08/2007 23:59

Oh, OJ, how awful for you all . I'm so sorry that you are going through such a terrible, scary time.
I wish you strength and hope you are able to find some happiness and peace together.

onlyjoking9329 · 16/08/2007 00:00

it will make a change for people to be staring at Steve instead of the kids
