Oh i had no idea it existed. I do vaguely remember someone asking if I minded them using information.......which of course I don't. I had no idea what or when or where though.
Do you want me to remind you of wot you wrote??
If it was about sleep Sheffy I imagine I would have had my sensible head on.......yes?
Don't know were you dozing at the time? 
Anything is possible in Morphland.
Is Dolly OK? I haven't seen the mesmeric cat around lately. I hope she is.
Haven't seen any postings lately Morph from Dolly, hope she and her OH are keeping well,not forgetting you and Mrs Morph x
Yes, in light of recent events Sheffy, I too hope things are all right for Dolly and Mr D.
Hi Sheffy and Morph..........Sorry i have not been on here for a while, i have had eye surgery and am having a job seeing clearly at the mo, in fact i look like Draculas Grandmother really scary. Everything is blury and feels like a house brick sitting in the eye. I have had Thyroid eye disease for 20 years and my right lid had drooped (Ptosis) so badly that i neede surgery . If it had just been the appearence to be honest i would not have bothered but as i have very little sight in the left eye it became necessary as i cannot drive or even read that well. The DVLA have told me that i must have an eye test by an approved optician by the 20th of this month and pass itt or else they will take my licence away. As you can tell i am a bit P****** off with it all also i am a better carer than a patient!!!!! Mr D is very positive and reasuuring bless him. He is doing so well re the Brain....and has an appointment next week to have the shunt checked, he has also had some hormonr jabs for the Prostate cancer and will be atarting Radiotherapy in May after he has had a scan and blood tests. Yep between us we are keeping the old NHS in business haha!! I hope you are both keeping as well as poss and again i am sorry that i have not been in touch. As soon as i can see a little more clearly i will post again, meanwhile take care of yourselves and thank you as always for your concern and being there.........Keeeeeeeeeeeeep smiling
lots of love
Dolly xxxx
Hi Dolly I too was beginning to wonder where you were. Glad the eye op went OK, and that your OH is doing well. You always seem to be so positive like so many others on this thread.
It is always nice to read all the comments on here.
As you say Dolly Keeeeeeep smiling.
Love from one old rocker to another!! (or should that be one old rock chick to another!!)
Wye
Hi Wye......i have just sent you a long reply and it dissappeared into who knows where.......i am sorry but tomorrow i will try again...............where DO our messages end up?????????????
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeep Rockin until then matey xx
All messages that disappear are intercepted by the Yantans. They collect them and send them to Eskimos who have very few friends. It is part of the governments initiative to include ethnic minorities in the social network.
Thanks to this legislation all manner of information has been re-directed. Eskimos have learned how to frack. This doesn't mean there will be more Eskimos, but they will have centrally heated igloos. They are now working on Solar Panels.
If anyone has any ideas on how to stop igloos meeting please send it along.
On the Morph front, I am pleased to report the new medication is working well. At least I think it is.
Sounds like it Morph, you are in good swing and working overtime, what you on I could do with some of it!
By the way, I don't think it's just your Aunty Nora that tells porkies, does it run in the family? 
P.S. wouldn't want you any other way, stay happy and entertaining x
We do get runs in the family Sheffy............too much Curry me thinks.
Hi Mateys....a quick update.....Mr Dolly saw the Neuro Surgeon yesterday for a CT scan and alls well, they were very pleased with his progress and does not have to return until September. Apart from the odd dizzy spell when bending or turning too quick he is back to even better than before this nightmare started. He starts radiotherapy in May for the Prostate and is coping well with his Hormone jabs. We are holding a medical theme party next month for all the good friends who gave me lifts and were so supportive to us both......Mr D has his saucy nurses outfit ready complete with red wig and looks like the chap on Benidorm Tim Healy!!!! but he is game for a laugh and is calling himself nurse Hermoine Hormone.
The Consultant was pleased with his handiwork re my eye (Ptosis) surgery though it has now affected the other eye and that lid has drooped so he is booking me in to correct it in June sometime. It feels very odd after not being able to see much other than my lid for 20 years!
The Parky nurse was very happy with me at the recent visit, but to be honest i really have not had the time to think much about it....too much else going on.........i am relieved that at least that is under control though.
Hoping that alls well with everyone......keeeeeeeeeeeeep on rockin
luv Dolly xxx
I love reading things like this Dolly. They inspire, they cheer and give others hope.

My friend with cancer was given 12 months...........last week she was given the all clear. We had a sign up in the fitters shop I worked in...............the impossible we do immediately, miracles take a little longer. Must have been a similar hospital that she attended.
I have always said consultants, surgeons, doctors and nurses are heroes........not footballers or pop stars. They deserve the highest accolades and our eternal gratitude.
Morph xxx......so glad things are working out Dolly.
Hello Dolly, well hello Dolly, it's so good to have you back where you belong........
So good to here your news, glad everything is going soooo well all round, also that hubby has'nt lost his sense of humour! Have a brill night, you both deserve it.
Regards Sheila x
Hello to all my Forum friends
I haven`t posted on this thread before but I am feeling really stressed. I know OH isn`t well - chest infection- but recently he`s taken to refusing to take his sinamet CR at bedtime. So far I`ve persisted and he`s eventually swallowed it but tonight he spat it at me several times. Truth is I`m so tired from being woken up in the night and looking after him during the day. I generally cope OK but he hasn`t wanted what I`ve arranged for dinner so then it`s try to find out what he would like. Since his memory for words is poor that`s not easy. And then after all that he might have one spoonful and says he`s had enough.
And the car battery is flat from too many short journeys! Lovely son came this evening with his battery charger so tomorrow it will be fully charged and I can risk going out and not fear that it won`t start to bring me back and the sitter left for who knows how long.
I just read that. It`s not that I also have an unlovely son. No, I do have a lovely daughter but she`s on a well earned holiday for a few days.
Did you see that tiny joke? I must be feeling better. Thank you all. I`ll go to bed now and hope to get to sleep.
Sweet dreams
Hattie
Your life sounds so difficult, Hattie.
I wonder if you get any help? Medical care is provided but so much more is needed if life is not to become intolerable.h
After my husband's month in hospital we were offered an assessment by Adult Social Care.
We were given funding for 4 weeks a year respite care so that I can go away and recharge the batteries.
Age UK have been wonderful allocating a volunteer for 12 visits to take my husband out or sit with him to give me a break. We can have a permanent one paid for by them if it proves helpful.
I have been offered support as a carer...someone to meet and chat with over coffee once a week to offload...
Social care would have arranged many more things such as meals on wheels, nursing care visits etc but we said they were not needed yet.
If you ring any of these people they will come to see you and offer help suited to your needs.
We were also contacted by the Royal Voluntary service who offered help with hospital transport, volunteers to visit etc but we couldn't fit them in!
You do presumably get Attendance Allowance or DLA to help out with paying someone to clean, iron, garden , taxis etc to give you more time to care, or pay for sitters to allow you to escape for a short time now and again.
if not, speak to. PDUK welfare worker.
After so many dreadful years struggling alone to deal with Parkinsons and a demented husband I can't believe how much help we have been offered once my husband tried to commit suicide.
If we had known about the help available earlier, this might have been avoided.
I do hope life improves for you.
Let others help.
love
GG
Good morning Goldengirl
Thank you for your sympathy and info. In our area Age Concern will provide some-one to help OH find new outside activities and go to them with him. Totally not suitable since he is almost housebound at the moment and isn`t mentally able to cope with new activities and new people.
We`ve looked into other help but it`s either not suitable or there is a long waiting list. In your situation I would think they would rush you to the top of the list, and quite right too.
I`m brighter this morning and know things will improve again when he`s feeling better. And the car battery is now fully charged so that`s one worry gone.
Thank you for replying, a kind word goes a long way.
Hattie
