Hi @Willow I have been thinking about you a lot, how are your feet and also your Hb levels?
Also how is your sister and mother doing now?
Be kind to yourself xxx

Thank you @Erica. You are so kind. With great difficulty, considering both my feet are fractured, I managed to get to hospital last week to receive two units of blood which will have improved my Hb. My sister is still emotionally unwell plus recovering from Covid. It’s a very stressful time. My mother will be moving soon to a temporary respite Care Home so that an assessment can be done regarding her future care needs. There is so much to sort out for my mother and I am inundated with phone calls and visits from physios/OT etc. I am grateful for the support but it just adds to the stress of it all. Thanks for asking. Willow X

You must be having to juggle so many things @Willow and it must be time consuming as well as physically and emotionally challenging. I hope you feel a bit better after receiving blood X

Oh @Willow I just do not know how you are coping emotionally, physically and practically.
You are really doing a brilliantly.
Stress really fatigues me, I know I do not deal with it well, it gets all too much.
Give yourself a hug from me.
Be ever so kind to yourself you are a special person xxxx

Thank you @Erica and @Nichola75 for your kind words and understanding. I completely agree with you that since my blood cancer diagnosis I don’t handle stress as well as I used to and, as a family, we are going through probably one of the most stressful times of our lives. I appreciate so much your support and good wishes. I send warm wishes back to you both. Willow XX

So @Willow, let’s get some songs on here for you.
My daughter got her GCSE results yesterday and did so well! She is a very independent learner and planned her revision meticulously! Just amazing. So my words today are:
- Proud
- Determined
Looking forward to everybody else’s choices X

Hi, thanks to @Willow and @Nichola75 for keeping this fun list going. I hope it brings you cheer especially if you are struggling, as I see Willow is at the moment.
I do not want to show off, but I just attended one of the most memorable events of my life, aka the Coldplay concert at Wembley last Sunday. No, I will re-phrase that, I do want to show off! All thanks to my daughter who got the tickets. So I just had to chose one of the songs from the concert, and for the word ‘determined’ the best song has to be ‘Fix you’. I took a video of it, so will post that too if I can, but for now here is the professional version. When I think of this song, ColdPlay Fix YouI think of being fixed, and of all of us being fixed. We are determined to fix you.
