family
Well, I have fallen out with my Mum's Husband, Neil. Or "Saint Neil" as we all refer to him.
I need to write this down to 'debrief'. Today I faced what felt like the hardest challenge I have every had. It was my cousin's funeral and the family who have alienated me through directing their anger wrongly at me were going to be there. Since the rift I am totally alone as a single mum, with no other family nearby.
Went today to Halton Hospital for another pre-op assessment, I had to be there for 9.00am, I thought I had left in plenty of time but with it not being a journey I have made recently at that time I was too optimistic. Arrived 15 mins late by the time I had parked and ran across the car park. Fortunately there was only one person in front of me.
Hello,
Well after writing my first blog on here I can honestly say it was like a released and like a breath of fresh air entered me, and the thoughts and comments left by others where so lovely and inspiring.
I am 46yrs of age and live in Dunedin, New Zealand. I have four adult children and work in a large call centre.
As some of you will be aware, two of our nurses were available in a chat room today to faciliate a webchat about family reactions to cancer. Please feedback any comments or suggestions you would like to make about this here - we want to hear the good and the bad.
It would also be helpful to know if you have any ideas for topics on future webchats.
My personal situation is a bit unusual but need to explain before I go any further. I left the marital home 2 years ago after 30 years of marriage to come and live in Somerset (was living in Essex at the time). It was a necessary break for me although still loved husband and he me but due to life/circumstances at the time we couldn't carry on as we were.
I have never had a 'Blog' before so please bear with me as this is all new!
Hi, just wondered if any of you have put complaints in about a GP, that was obstructive in getting treatment or getting the diagnosis?
Well, Mum was diagnosed with brest cancer just before Christmas, though, other than my Dad she didn't tell anyone until the New Year. We were all together over Christmas, 11 of us in the immediate family with the happy announcement that another is on the way in July which will be Mum & Dad's fourth grandchild. Presumably not wanting to spoil the Christmas mood, Mum kept her news to herself until we all got home which must have been difficult for her, and Dad.
