Oh Gosh Oh Dear I haven't been able to log on for days ( talk about withdrawal symptoms)
Seriously Guys I thought I had been Nominated I couldn't figure it out I thought I have said far worse in the past ! Honestly I have been much more near the knuckle ! I couldn't even log on to see what I might have said . That's it I thought there is no doubt I have been Nominated . Then of course it struck me like a thunder bolt would I have not got a letter in the post ,
So I have been nonchalantly hanging about by the post box of course not wanting to attract attention (which is hard when you are dressed in a red dressing gown with a hood).
Then that's when I had a breakthrough in my thinking I thought some one and you always get one would have messaged me through fb to say Jules I didn't want to tell you but you have been Nominated.
We have all got those friends that can't wait to tell you bad news , so that's when I thought ( you have to go with me on this thought process) I thought are they not saying anything because
A They don't want to give me bad news
B There isn't any bad news
C There is no forum it's all been a dream
D there has been a major C.... up with admin.
E Julie you have been Nominated and the letter hasn't arrived yet . ππππππ

Another laugh from you Julie, I don't know how you do it.
I read through your post and was thinking "Nominated, nominated for what" and then decided you must have been waiting for a new years honour since you were also stalking the poor postman!!
I was relieved to get to the end of your post to see you meant moderated!!
That just ain't gonna happen girl. I'm sure that the moderators all understand what members in your situation are going through and make allowances.
I would also imagine that if it had been that bad they themselves would have emailed you to tell you they had removed your posts.
Rant away when the mood takes you, I know we all understand.
Love to you all, yourself and Trevor and the boys and the not so little puppies by now and the mummy dogs

SS you get nominated for best misuse of a word or best predicitve text upfcuk a bit like people get awarded for a Golden globe or an Emmy even an Oscar (Lord knows you deserve an award of some description.)
I remember once mis spelling a word on here in a response to one of those nasty troll people. It was such a shame because it was almost "Eyresque" in candour but unintentionally, in one finger stumble, it became rather more like Edward Lear and therefore totally missed the point. Sadly several people liked the post purely because they were still laughing at my mis spelling months later.
I do find it amusing when predictive text does its own thing and the author doesn't notice. For instancce the Queen banks with Coutts and Co but for ages her equery was writing to Coitus and Co. ...one wonders if it ever got interruptus!!
My bestie once meant to send a message saying "looking forward to seeing you" but actually sent "looking forward to swinging with you"
Such minor errors should be overlooked of course as we are all merely human. Nobody could moderate you sweet SS that would be like censoring Gordon Ramsay ...no fun at all

I was getting withdrawal symptoms from not reading your post. Then when I read your comment about being nominated I thought hey that's great you must have been nominated for an oscar or some other award for a great outlook and sense of humour. Oh well perhaps not but you and your man certainly deserve one.

So just a smidge more serious update and I can't believe the difference 6 weeks have made.
Not sure what to call him anymore , Turmeric Trev , Titanuim T, or just Mr Shamazing . Wow what a transformation 6 weeks ago he could barely walk even sitting up in bed was difficult.
Today just 6 weeks later he has been to B&Q ( pensioners day π) he said he was going for light bulbs I thought that's ok not to demanding even the fact that he can walk to the car and is driving is a minor miracle . Anyway he arrives back and nearly reversis into my picket fence , of course I said very sweetly ! Mind the fence Darling ! That is what I was trying to say but my inner fish wife took over and what I actually said was ! For F..... sake you have nearly crashed the f...... fence.
His answer I had to park as near as possible because I can't carry the door very far. I know you are the thinking the same as me ( he only went for light bulbs) .
So upshot is he forgot the light bulbs but we have a brand new bedroom door π€
The crowning glory was when I said what the hell are you doing , what are you thinking carrying a door ! His answer was I know I wanted white but they only had it in cream ! π±
So there we are 2nd Raduim in and we have gone from severe pain and not able to stand to 6 weeks later carrying a door . Remarkable doesnt even come close.
Just had mid term HB results and up again so it's gone from
9.0
9.1
9.8
10
Appointment for his teeth extractions is 16th Feb it is going to be a day stay not sure how many teeth they will take out but any amount will make him more comfortable.
Cardio appointment for Papworth is 10th Feb
So things at last getting sorted.
It's all go isn't it.

So here we are Raduim no 3 tucked under our belt and completed today. Cardiology tomorrow and day stay for teeth on the 16th it's all go here. That has just reminded me of when our calendar was crammed with fun excursions / party invites/ meals out/ etc etc and now it's like a list from a scene from Casualty.
Talking about excursions if anyone can bring up my post about the train journey and put the link here I will be ever so grateful πI am not naming the two guys I am thinking about but S and C if you are reading π€π
It's all about journeys isn't it that's why the train journey came into my mind , we are nearly 4 years into our journey ( a bloody miracle) I can't put into words how gobsmacked I am by that , it is just mind blowing after all that he has been through the highs the lows and there has been so many lows again probably more blue lights than Casualty.
Here we are almost 4 years into our journey and 4 weeks ago he could barely stand and today he has done the school run and then stopped at Tesco where he bought me a early Valentine gift / no wait for it , it was a giant bag of Walkers Cheese and Onion Crisps and this is the best bit a box of Mr Kipling special pink edition Fondant Fancies . π What more could a woman ask for in life !
He knows how to tug at my heart strings .ππππ

Hi Julie,
I hope everything continues to go well for Trevor. You are certainly married to a very special person who has continued to fight this dreadful disease inspite of having to cope with other health problems too. I'm sure the strength and the loving support you give him is the reason why he has done so well.
Thank you for all you do on this site to raise the spirits of all who read your posts. You probably may not realise the help that it gives us all.
Thanks.

Well, you've had me laughing again Julie. What a man you have there.
He obviously does know the way to your heart (although I did think the stomach was the way to a MAN'S heart. You are obviously breaking that mould too)
I mean, to splash out on pink fondant fancies - what is he thinking of. What is he going to do for Valentines Day now to top that!!

Thank you C for resurrecting my train journey post what a star βοΈ
Si I know how far we have come from those first early days and WoW you are doing so well as my dear old dad would have said ! Keep going my son ! Keep going!β€
So here we are on the eve of the teeth op, soups , yogurts, smoothies , jellies are stocked up we don't know how many teeth they will be able to extract . He has got to be there at 8.30 in the morning .
The plan is to only take as many teeth as they have to because of the healing issues and then to file down the bone growth . What a clucker this disease is Trevor has fought so hard and then to face this , it's just a double whammy.
He is petrified and I would be as well I have tried to offer reassurance but he doesn't want to talk about it he is to scared, . The procedure will be done under a local anaesthetic .

Thinking of you and Trevor more so than normal today
I know Trevor will be very apprehensive but he will be far more comfortable soon, the mouth is a very fast healer. Here's hoping he will soon be woofing down tumeric laden goodies and putting some of the lost weight back on.
I'm up in the lakes walking for a few days now but will catch up when I get home.
All my love as always

Ok so he is home and in bed resting he has had soups / warm hot chocolate and oodles of TLC oh and rice pudding with custard.
So they removed 3 teeth ( this is going to be a very long and ongoing process) it was difficult to remove the teeth because of the bone growing around them the bone was gripping the teeth and apparently the new bone growth splinters if not done carefully. The bone growth had grown considerably since his last visit . Look away now if you are squeamish they then had to file the bone down . I can't imagine it !
He then had a huge blood loss because of his blood thinners for his heart, trousers and coat covered .
Next appointment to do it all again is in two weeks . Depending on how well the healing goes.
He has had a lump in his jaw for a while probably the size of a large marble that we and his dentist put down to the abscess but today they / they being head neck and throat department ( I am sure they have an Ology but I haven't got to grips with it yet) want an MRI done .
So after all of the drama I would like to add a little song.
My Guy.
I won't do all of the versus because hey I've got soups to make / children to sort / dogs to get to bed/ and a new venture on its way.π€
So My Guy ( feel free to sing along )
Nothing you could say could tear me away from My Guy
Nothing you could do'cause I'm stuck likeglue to my Guy
I'm sticking to my man like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather we stick together
I'm telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from My Guy.
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's cream of the crop
He's my Guy

As ever you manage to make me smile and cry all at the same time Julie. Thanks so much for the update. All bits crossed for you both.
And here's one that was clearly written especially for you...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhkwRBGZEN4
I'm a Woman W.O.M.A.N.
I can wash out forty four pairs of socks and have 'em hangin' out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozens shirts 'fore you can count from one to nine
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
I can rub and scrub til this old house is shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, and powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing 'til four A.M. and then
Lay down at five, jump up at six, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin' you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
I got a twenty dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman! A W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.

What a turn around Oncology today and in walks the Wiz with the biggest smile on her face so drum roll please!
PSA down from 3188- to - 30552
ALP down from 494- to - 355
So ok I know pretty scary figures BUT we are going down and we are happy with those figures especially Trevor he is now on cloud nine and after the last week this is just what he needed.
His mouth and Jaw pain is continuing to improve and he is now able to eat slightly more solid food ( cooked him a shepherds pie and added carrot , parsnip, brussel sprouts into the mash ) sounds healthy doesn't it but sorry guys inthen added cheese 2 tons of butter and a splash of double cream even the kids ate itπ€
The Wiz thinks the growth in his jaw is probably extra bone growth, and I am going to roll with that. He has lost another 2 kilos but I am planing to get some more of my special mash down him.π
