Morning all.

What? No rain! Amazing.

Just home from having my troublesome ingrowing toenail cut out. Told to rest and stay off of the foot. Bit difficult when you live on your own. Anyone got a hover board I can borrow?

Sorry to hear this Rich. As you know, I had a similar situation with my sister back end of last year/early this year so I can totally sympathise with your situation. We had a few more family members to share the load (but some didn't) but even that doesn't lessen the load on those who take on a major role.
You know where I am if you want to let off steam

Hi Richard, you ask why they don’t operate. I can think of a few reasons. Your aunt is too weak for surgery, the cancer is embedded where it is inoperable, or the cancer has spread into the lymphatic system or another reason is an operation could shorten her life significantly. I remember looking after a man with Ca Stomach who was given 3 months to live. After surgery, he died within 3 weeks. I never will never forget it. I was in charge of the surgical ward when he passed away. His wife tried to scratch my eyes out, blaming me for his death..... That is the nature of grief and cancer. It is unpredictable in how some people survive and how some don’t. In grief, some never get over it. .....Recently, my youngest brother saw the Oncologist, as his Ca Prostate had returned after being free of it for 4 years. A PET scan showed it has spread to the bones, inoperable. He is now on new hormone treatment which is slowing the cancer spread and growth down. The Doctors have said this treatment will give him more time, it could be 2 months or 2 years or more. It proves they don’t know everything. What they are unable to measure or forecast, is the human spirit and the will to live.

Morning all, damp and dull this morning.Spoke to my aunt last night, and it runs out the other hospital she is to be referred to, had no idea she was actually in hospital. They had been trying to contact her for a while, and eventually got through on her mobile, we were led to believe that the hospital she is currently in, had been liaising with the other. However, they are two different hospital trusts, so possibly a communication breakdown.

Morning all.

No rain this morning, yet. Misty and chilly though. Sun is trying to break through.

Toe looks better, and I can actually walk without any pain.

Morning all, dull and dry here this morning, glad the toe is improving Bob, you don’t realise how important toes are until they stop working.

Morning Rev, Ha! Good to hear, serves em right. The last time I spoke to my sister about it the other week she still hadn't got the refund they promised her so she got in touch with the Sun newspaper who were very interested in the story with all the photos & video she took of the hovel.
She emailed them everything & spoke to a reporter but I don't know what will happen now it's closed.
