he was in a lot of pain yesterday which has not improved today. he is much more confused so it is difficult to find out what is going on. his sight is much worse too and he is quite wobbly.
The doctor phoned the hospital and talked to them about it. the doc has given him a morphine injection and he is to go back on the steriods, which he has just been weaned off. the doctor will phone in the morning to see how he is. he is tucked up in bed now.

after last tuesdays vist for scan plan we were told they would contact us 7-10 days for steve to go into the scan simulator, they said treatment would start soon after. dunno if they mean their soon or our soon, the two sound the same but all our evidence shows they are very different

onlyjoking9329 · 10/09/2007 20:36

hoping we have a good night tonight, steve has had a difficult day, he is once again saying he won't do the treatment he has said this before and changed his mind so i won't get upset about it.

Hi OJ, I'm sending you best wishes, and hugs, and hope you are managing to stay strong. Just checked out your photos - your three are sooooo lovely, and I think of you often these days. I hope things get easier for you and Steve.
With love from headgirl and the deputies xxxxx

onlyjoking9329 · 10/09/2007 22:06

Lilyloo the way he feels can change by the hour. it is a rollercoaster but one we have to ride.
one positive thing is that it has made the people who know us appreciate what they have with their partner.
Theheadgirl, hope you are ok, i have lost your email address when my pc broke.
we are lucky really we have three lovely kids who keeps us going! who are your three? hope you had a nice holiday.

Hope today is a better day for you both and like you say in times of great difficulty you do actually take stock of what's good in your life and what you should be thankful for. Unfortunately we are all guilty of taking things for granted.

onlyjoking9329 · 11/09/2007 11:35
