Figrat - touch wood -I have been clear for 21/2 years now but I did have to have really major surgery and learn how to live my new life - doesn't stop me gardening I didn't mean for the thread to get serious -sorry .
Pam LL - A friend went through similar. Just before they put her under for the op, they told her there was a 50/50 chance she wouldn't wake up. She's now been clear for 10 years, and has two beautiful boys. My daughter's second name is Maria, after her, and if she is half as smart, kind and beautiful she will be a lucky girl. The record for survival after the op (they removed part of her oesophagus and most of her stomach) is 16 years, she's determined to beat it so she can see her boys grow up (one is 7, other is 4). Hopefully once you've reached the magic 5 you can breathe a bit easier.
Bringing the subject down to my natural level, Crikey, Blackest, a bloke who knows where to find Clematis!
Don't be daft Pam. You shouldn't apologise. It's kind of you to let us know what you have been through which makes all the hard work you put into your garden more admirable. I hope you continue in good health.
Pam, you must have posted at the same time as me! Your post is certainly not laugh of the century and you have my deepest sympathy. Glad you are feeling better and will be thinking about you and mentioning you before a certain heavenly being, having had a life threatening tumour myself.
Now, to ruin the tone and risk offending the more sensitive users of this forum, I recommend Blackest's link.
Oh bother, I've missed a whole evening of lovely hairy female chat. Was watching all the recorded stuff on Telly such as GW, Escape to the Country, while OH was out singing in a concert.
Verdun must feel the cold, he's always getting his coat
I use tweezers for whiskers and a razor for the rest. It's funny how when you get older hair grows in different places than it did before. Not much left under the arms - not that I'm complaining about that bit!
Pam, your garden is so lovely I never imagined you could have been so ill. How on earth did you manage?
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
