General Chat

HI I would like to thank everyone for keeping me sane.I read all your threads everyday & it helps me get through the day as I have an invalid husband & I am his sole carer. My husband has had throat cancer & has a Trachy Which means that he can't talk very much as well as a lot of other medical to numerous to list he has now just been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration in his only good eye so his mood at the moment is not good at all (not that I can blame him) Without everyone here I would have gone crazy a long time ago so Thank you all Love Cilla From OZ. xxx Thank you everyone for your love & messages I am feeling a lot better now & have booked John into respite as soon as they have a bed for him. Love to all Cilla from Oz oxoxoxoxoxoxox

IT'S A PLEASURE, Susie xx

Cilla.....you dont need to thank us! Its something we enjoy doing and if some of the threads make you smile then all the better! Bev

Cilla, So sorry to hear of your husbabd's illnesses. So glad that this site helps to lighten your day a little. Jean x.

Cilla, you're welcome. Sorry that your husband is so poorly, please give him our best wishes. Take care Love Mandy :) x

Thanks everyone it is nice to know that I have someone to talk to if things get to rough, it does get a bit lonely sometimes, as I get the blame for a lot of things but as they say they always hurt the one closest to them. Love Cilla.

sorry to hear about your hubby Pricilla but i agree, people on here can and do lift your spirits Bev still giggling after reading Roxannes thread

Life must be tough for both of you. Is there anyone who would come in for a half day maybe twice a week, so you can get away and have a break? If it was regular, you could make plans for your free time and have something to look forward to. Your hubbie would also appreciate you when you got back! Invalids can get very selfish/introspective - from one who knows at the mo'! We all need a bit of fun....... Lily

Cilla, hugs go to you and Mr Cilla from the other side of the world. Here they come ............ NNEEEEEEEOOOOWWWW ((((((((hugs))))))) Glenys xx

Hi Cilla and Cilla's Hubby.... Lovely to meet you both.... hope we chat soon..... Anita in Sunny Sunderland :))))))

Thanks again everyone Mr Cilla's name is John. We live in a small town & it is hard to get someone to come & stay with him as he doesn't think he needs to be babysat,typical man thinks he can do it himself exept he has falls & has osteo-perosis & frequently breaks bones last one was a pelvis & a few ribs. He is very stubborn. thanks for the hugs I needed them. Love Cilla.

Yes Cilla, aren't men stubborn! Men on here, take note please! lol. Seriously, perhaps John should think less of 'babysitter' and more of 'assistant', as that's what a helper would be ......? John, consider yerself told off! (But hugs anyway). Glenys x

No relatives who would give you a break? Don't let John totally rule your life, if you weren't there, ask him where he would be! Food for thought....... Lily

Hi Cilla we havent met!! I was just going thro the threads and read yours!! I think you should take a little time and praise yourself!! for giving up a lot ( I know you will have had to give up a lot!!) Everyone I'm sure! is happy to have met you and enjoyed their time chatting with you on here, and will also be pleased to know they've been able to help you keep your sanity. I know its because you love your hubby!! and he loves and needs you, I hope I would do the same, but you have to be a strong person to have to take on all that pressure!! I would like to give you a well deserved pat on the back and lots of hugs!! Look after number one too (YOU) a wonderful lady!! take care all my very best wishes to you both. Val xx

Well said, Val! xx

cilla, so sorry to hear about your husband's illness. i am sure that deep down he does appreciate all you do for him, butI am equally sure that you are in the 'front line of fire' when things get him down. it must be hard not to retaliate at times. those are the times when we are here for you. Please feel free to come on here and shout any time. Best wishes Ann glos

Hi Cilla and John, we are always here if you need us for anything, we are one big family and see each other through good and bad times. I dont know what I do without all the support on here, its great. Love to you all Jo xx

Hi everyone I have just got up & turned the puter on & after reading all your messages I know that I can have a bit of a whinge now when things get tough. I am no one special as I am sure the you would all do the same if you were put in the same position although it can be tough at times. It is very tough on John as he was a truck driver & now he hasn't got a licence at all.His biggest problem is that he is in bed all the time & has to much time to think & if he wants anything done he wants it NOW.Oh well enough complaining hope to talk to you all soon,I won't bitch next time. Love to all Cilla xxx

Hello Cilla and John. Nice to 'meet' you. Sorry to hear about John's illness, it must be very hard for you both. We're all mad on here, but you've probably worked that out for yourself Cilla! Daisy

Hi Cilla and John Nice to meet you. Heather xx
