Great thing done by Newcastle supporters on Saturday., As a boycott of the Prem £14.95 PPV against Manure they instead donated to a homeless charity .. some 14.5 k.... well done them .. I hope more follow suit...
Well, more than half way through the wife’s chemo and another six weeks of treatment. It is a surprise to see how well she is coping, her hair fills the sink and pillows, she is once again a prisoner in our home, yet no complaints, not one. It is hard, we sometimes have to change bed in the middle of the night when she has a leak, sleep doesn’t come easy and that ever present fear sits on her shoulder, just waiting for an invitation to come to the fore. My nights are full of dark dreams and the whispers of depression are just there now and again. I wake up countless times and often, like tonight, I don’t want to go to bed. Yesterday I didn’t leave the house and today I put the rubbish out, 20 paces. Cobwebs are growing in my mind as well as around the door. I will get through this, bounce back, but, it isn’t a pleasant ride this rollercoaster. Tomorrow...
If only I had the words, TOM. But after reading this, this morning, I was so affected by it, I needed to use an ATM and for the life of me, I couldn't remember my pin number. We have your back my friend x
I have been in your shoes TOM over 14 years ago with my wife. After surgery, Chemo and Radiotherapy she lost all her hair, plummeted in weight and became the shy introvert she never was. Nights of pain, tears and terror were followed by more appointments and uncertainty. We came through it and today 14 years on we are back to where we once were, happy healthy and living life the best we can under todays circumstances. Trust me, there is light at the end of the tunnel and you'll both get there, just take care of her and yourself.
Thanks for your thoughts. Kemps just send me your bank details and PIN number and I will help you remember in future.
Thank you. I know many others have and will share this in their lifetime. Covid is just making this seem harder.
As Kemp's says no words are good enough but you are I'm my thoughts and just try and stay as positive as you can mate. It's great that you have the strength to post on here too. We are here for you. Best wishes.
It’s easy to post on this thread when things are bad. But this weekend was ok. Bits of it were ****e, but it has mostly been good.
Someone once said "I find it easy to write sad or dark songs, it's not so easy write happy/upbeat songs".
Watch this and tell me it doesn't cheer you up I laughed for fifteen minutes Edit: Wrong vid but I'll leave the Kyle Walker one too because it's pretty chortle-worthy in its own right
Doubly positive story of the taxi driver actions and how the young woman has turned things around for herself with support https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/new...kCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar
I'm feeling a bit of Covid fatigue today. I'm luckier than most, worked through the pandemic, half at from home/ half at work, on full pay, less commuting. Which is great. Just feeling really fed up with the same old every night and weekend. Sadly, I find myself logging on to work on weekends/ evenings cos I've nothing else better to do. It's my daughter's 30th birthday tomorrow and she had all sorts planned. It's awful seeing her so deflated as she can't celebrate a milestone we all take for granted that we celebrate. The glass is usually almost overflowing for me, so I know if I'm feeling it, others will be and have it many many times worse. Please continue to share.
That's one reason why I suggested a pre match zoom, have a pint and a bit of banter. I would like to say keep your chin up, but really that sounds ****e, so just don't let things get too deep.
Things get bad for all of us, almost continually, and what we do under the constant stress reveals who/what we are.
