I haven't checked in here for a while and ...Oh. I haven't checked in here for a while and didn't realise you were so unwell. (I was starting from most recent and going back)Thanks so much for writing it. And sincere best wishes sent your way that things work out ok. The reason I hadn't checked in for a while is cos mum (in her early 80s)was diagnosed with cancer and then it was terminal (she's mainly pissed off cos she's on so many pills now although I have noticed that while she was always brutally honest in her opinions, I can now see how hard she held back all those years) - she was an oncology nurse for years so was realistic from day one.<br /><br />I have spent the past couple of months wondering what I had forgotten to do. Did I forget a specialist appointment? a prescription? pay the rent? a relative flying in from interstate I forgotten to pick up from the airport who was coming to see Mum? feed the cat? (no chance). I even dreamed about the something I had missed doing. I read your post and it clicked. I forgot to write. How could I do that? And how could you target it so well? <br /><br />Thank hugely - will set a ridiculously modest daily target which will definitely help me to cope better. <br /><br />Walk tall and thanks again<br /><br />FM<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
