RIGHT! EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND GIVE---- OJ ---- YOUR THOUGHTS, PRAYERS AND HUGS

[NotABanana]

Update at 20:17 - No more trifles today. Steves breathing not good and he won't take his meds. DN is coming in morning and said about fitting him with a driver.

Update at 20:28 - Got some mates here, not sure if tonight the night

Come on girls!!

i did have massages at the hospice and i could go there for one but it is 18 mile round trip and i don't have the time really.
we have an osteopath local that i could get up to vist, not sure she does home vists thou.
i can do most day except weds and i would have to avoid tue and thurs mornings when MIl vists, in fact tuesday or thursday early afternnon would be perfect it would give me something nice to look forward to.
i am off to have a soak and put on some volterol gel

i don't mind the body massage but i don't do feet, i hate feet, i was very brave and did steves toe nails the other day, i don't mind kids feet it is just adults feet i hate.

The massage therapists at the hospice may do private visits on the side - God that sounded filthy!

What I mean is, in the same way that nursery nurses do babysitting, they may be up for some extra work.

Morning OJ

Hope you're in the bath as I type? Really hope it helps.

I don't do feet either - childrens feet are yummy and lovely, but grown ups feet? Ugggh

Sorry I'm not close enough to be of any help, but we are all thinking of you (although, I guess you probably know that by now)

Hope you have an OK day xxx

Me too, I hate feet and false teeth, yuck

i'm anti-feet. i was very brave when i had mine done.

i used to really grumble about doing peters feet. and i mean reallly grumble. yuck!!

just dropping in to say that I'm thinking of you OJ

Aww OJ a sore back is grim grim grim.

Sending love as always sweetheart

Another vote for a massage - great idea WT

Thinking of you OJ!!!

Steve is still asleep he woke briefly this morning when we changed him he has not eaten today and onlyo had two spoons of jelly yesterday.
chemist can't get the driver drugs til 3 Dn is coming at 2 I have left a message at her office but I suspect she won't get it in time.
I have had a soak and put gel on.

Hope it helps your back OJ. . All my thoughts and prayers are with you. Xxx

I hope your back is feeling the benefit of your bath. Go have a snuggle with Steve now. x

totally with everyone regarding feet - what is it with those thigns>>?>

Hope your back gets better soon OJ.

OJ I couldn't do adult feet either. You know those people who have fetishes about them? Well I have the opposite. More like feet phobia.

Steve must be getting weak with the lack of food. How's he doing for fluids?

Thinking of you as always, OJ. Hope your back isn't too bad.

Lots of love,

XXX

Been busy trying to catch up with housework but always thinking of you.

at Steve not mananging to eat. Hope he can maybe later.

Try and rest before school finishes.

OJ I am another who has followed your news for a long time and you and your family are often in my thoughts.As well as admiring your strength, I feel uplifted by enormous support that is offered through Mumsnet members.There is so much compassion, humour, warmth, it goes a long way to restoring my faith in humanity.Wishing you fortitude and peace,x

www.magicfingerstherapies.co.uk/ a friend of mine uses these and say they are fab!! Cover the area Oj lives in too!

Just checking in to add my thoughts and wishes to the multitudes, OJ. I hope the back is getting better and the DN manages to get Steve's drugs sorted this afternoon.

OJ - another random person on the other side of the computer who thinks of you and Steve often, but doesn't usually post. Thinking of you both.

I know it sounds a bit odd but have you tried those magnet wraps for your back?
Something like this?

Feel free to completely ignore - but I find them helpful and they can be used alongside any meds.

Thinking of you OJ - I'm with you on the feet thing - dont like sandles (adults/ kids ok!)either - they just promote yucky feet!! Few people have nice feet!!!!!!!

Do hope Steve can eat today.

lapin- have emailed you.
