I've not been on here for a few days and am so sad to read of everyone's troubles. My thoughts are with you all.....I can't even begin to imagine what you must all be going through. Love to all of you with troubles and you are all doing amazingly well in your circumstances xx
Matty very best wishes for Tuesday and a cancer free future
Lyn I don't know what I'd do in your situation it must be so hard to accept your Mum's decision, hugs.
Joyce blue badges are granted by the local council we have one for mum. You'll need two passport type photos of your dear friend ready for when you apply. What a great friend you are to her. Hugs.
Matty every best wish for Tuesday sending love and light
Joyce what a friend you are, you need to take care of yourself too, rant here any time
lyn, can you leave your phone on record and ask your mum again if she won't let you call the medics? That way you have some evidence it is her own decision.

Hi everyone, Thank you for your thoughts and support.
It does help to let off steam doesn't it?
My friend has applied for her blue badge and put my car reg. no. on as one of the three, her 2 daughters are the other two numbers.
I feel I have to walk a very fine line sometimes as she has 2 daughters and a son who are being wonderful, doing everything they can to help and support her so I do not want them to feel I am "muscling in on their territory". However, I know that sometimes it is easier to talk freely about how we feel to someone outside of the family because we do not want to upset our nearest and dearest.I had already decided to look into the Macmillan support organisation for myself.
Verdun you are right, people on limited time seem to be given a strength we know nothing about, and put us to shame. My friend is so positive that we can do nothing else but be the same for her, the hospital is doing everything possible to keep her comfortable so we cannot ask for more.
Matty, I am sure everyhting will turn out fine for you. My friend who is ill had a mastectomy 7 years ago and made a full recovery no chemo., tablets as a follow up and given the all clear last Feb. The cancer she has now is nothing to do with that, a totally different type. So many people make a complete recoveryfrom breast cancer which I am sure you will. Have you thought of enquiring to see if there is a local breast cancer support group. They are usually very local and small so everyone gets to know each other. I know my friend found ours a great help to her.
My friend and I are going to Asda this coming week so she can have her eyes tested and then we are going out for lunch. I am enjoying the trips as I am trying to find eateries we have not visited before, and there are plenty of them down here.
Lovely post Joyce. I do feel for you as I know how difficult your situation is. I'm sure that your friend's daughters and son are pleased that you are supporting their Mum. Hope the parking permit comes through soon and you can find many other places to take her.
Verdun I'm so pleased that your Mum's having a good day. You are so right about taking one day at a time. Imprint the good days on your memory.
Lyn I often think of you and your family. I haven't got any pearls of wisdom but just want to let you know that you are a special lady. How is your Dad coping?
Joyce I hope you and your best friend continue to have meals out and special chats for some time to come. A lovely post by you x
Lyn, I worry about you a lot, you seem to have little rest in the day and not enough sleep at night looking at the times you post and are still awake. Not easy to sleep when your brain is in overdrive, please try and look after yourself as well as your parents. x
