Now he is off to Paris on business for 2 days, got to take him to the airport in an hour, sob.

Good evening girls, quiet on here today. Dear Estar, havent read FB but will pray for Daniel to soon get better, so very worrying for you, please remember that Shabs <strong>means</strong> it, shes an amazing person.
Well I have a new type of headache, left side, twingy little pains, feel very tired and very fed up atm. I feel bad saying that when poor H is really suffering, he is breaking my heart atm.He hasnt slept a wink for the last 5 nights, the chemo has really knocked him off of his feet. He is sooo down in himself, very angry, covered in the most awful angry rash which is now making his eyes sore, he cant stop scratching which is making the rash bleed, he looks such a sorry state. He has spent most of the day in bed too tired and dizzy to stand up, it all feels never ending. We have to go up to London on Weds to see the liver team at Kings, I just hope he is strong enough.Poor James went off to school in tears this morning after seeing his Dad lying on the sofa, he just cried and cried and said he felt so sorry for Dad, its all very hard.I feel as though I have aged 10 years in the last year, have piled lots of weight on, yet have not eaten excessively, clothes wont fit, skin looks tired and feel very unfit. I know the answer, no comfort food late at night, walk, dont take the bus, more sleep instead of sitting up here, but........... I just cant get motivated, feel too exhausted too, cant deal with it all. GOD, please let this soon be over, let us be normal, happy again, this level of stress is killing me, I try to stay strong and positve but days like today just make me want to give in. My head is aching:(

Oh my darling Trips - I wish so much that we lived closer to each other. I would be able to get you pissed drunk and we could laugh till we wet our pants. My tan is rapidly fading and, believe me, it was very dark brown. I have my black circles under my eyes and Im pissed off!!

Still no sign of Matt and Gareth - little sods....I miss their signs and the coincidences that happen. Just feel resigned now!

I almost had a very very serious accident at the Waterpark in Faliraki. I still cant write it down because I really did see my 'life flash before my eyes' but I am going to try to tomorrow because I am having horrific nightmares about it.

Other than those things I am fine

Massive hugs to you and H xxxx

Goodmorning girls, morning my friend...Shabs I have a real fear of water, dy know I cant swim, had 5 lots of lessons water terrifies me if it goes over my head. Feel better, headache gone, better sleep, H on the other hand looks and feels worse, poor thing. The rash is horrendous, he looke like a leper, it is sore and bleeding, his eyes are red raw. He got up at 6.30am and went back to bed at 6.50am, just hope he is up to going to London tomorrow. Kids in state, I bought Becca new trainers for school, but forgot the boys, god knows how. They both have PE today so I have had to write notes, hope the totors will understand, but you know how kids worry. Must go, Deal, mammogram(unit at the local rugby club, hope theres a match on:)home, then bus to Dover, for drilling and filling! Lovely day! xx

I have to get down 'on paper' what happened at the Water Park.

Its an amazing place. Im too much of a coward to try the slides but the Wave Pool is fantastic. Tom and I spent hours in there. The pool starts so shallow it only covers your feet and goes to approximately 7ft deep near the wave machines.

They have lots of rubber rings that you sit in and Tom floated about quite happily in one. Both myself and Tom are very strong swimmers so I had no worries.

Every half hour the lifeguards blow their whistles and the waves start. I noticed Tom swim past me towards the deep end so I went after him and ordered him back to where he could put his feet on the bottom of the pool. After 5 minutes of arguing he did as he was told. I turned my back to the wave machines and started to swim after him.

The bloody wave machine started! Within a minute the waves were crashing over my head and I couldn't swim back to the shallow end. Then I breathed in the water. I couldn't get my head out of the water and when I did I felt like my lungs would burst. I kept going under over and over again. On my last time up I noticed that Tom was fine and in the shallow end.

I grabbed hold of a rubber ring and when the young girls on it saw my expression they tried to help me up. I 'knew' that if I didn't keep hold of the ring I would drown. I spied the metal steps a few yards in front of me...somehow I grabbed hold of them and hadn't the strength to climb them....I had to fold my arms around them.

Obviously I survived it!! I have never been so frightened in all my life. The next time the waves started I went back in I knew I had to or else I would never go in water again.

oh Shabs...I have had that experience in teh waves in Australia...my DH thought I would be fine, but the waves were twice my height and kept coming at me, I couldnt breathe, I couldnt get up from under them, I was petrified. Plus I am a very weak swimmer. I feel your pain!

I shook like a leaf for a good hour afterwards - it was truly horrendous.

Shabs........bloody scary......so brave to go back in, I would have cried and gone home, how easily these things happen. Just had my mammogram, bloody uncomfortable it was too, came home to a very poorly H, the rash is so awful, I feel so sorry for him, esp as we have to sit on a busy train tomorrow, thats if we go, he looks to frail:( Now off to the dentist, `ow lovely :o

shabs that happened to my dad and I when I was 15 in Majorica. Terrifying especially as it was me ordering him back as he isn't a strong swimmer and he hadn't heard the whistle. Managed to grab him and drag us both back - very scarey I know exactly where you are coming from

Dentist done, what a day. H looking very ill, got terrible pain around the ileostomy, won`t go into too much detail!Will we get to London?

Morning girls xx

Trips I really hope everything goes well for H and that you get to London - holding you close to me today xxx

hope you made it trips

Darlinks I`m here!!What a long day! H had better sleep last night and looked marginally better this morning so we made it up to London.The news is that he goes into hospital on the 1st Nov for ileostomy reversal and liver resection, if after 48 hour he is recovering well then they will do RFA on the lung as well!!!Because they can see he looks so frail they are leaving him an extra couple of weeks to gain some strength, so very good news! Came home exhausted, me mentally, him physically, kids came back from my brothers and the boys were just awful to us. Too tired to tell you now, but they were really rude and unkind, it upset us.
