    can't eat biccys, they have gluten in, but I have GF free rusks in case I want to try...it's impossible, anything i eat comes out one way or another, I'm hot and cold and weird....i hate being sick

    Try ginger tea - ginger is good for calming anything gastric. Chamomile can reduce cramping. Have either hot ans sweet and your body will take what it needs and only rubbish should come out;)

    I would have been quite happy if i could have worn contact lenses but I couldn't. Actually I think my eye surgery was more psychologically disturbing than anything. I have worn glasses since I was five and I felt a bit naked without them...

    Lou - did they test your Grandad for a urine infection? How is he now?

    The test came back negative, all the tests came back negative.

    He was canny today, having a right go at David Cameron and Gordon Brown but his speech is still that of a person who has had a stroke and I noticed him wiping his mouth with his hankie alot:(

    We have taken away all his tablets and have a daily dispenser thingy, he is still getting mixed up though so I think it may be time to get some help in...........he will chuck a wobbler at that one.

    He knows that there is something wrong, he keeps saying he is "all awwa tha place".

    He also said that he wont be planting his veg this year.

    I have been calling every day to see him, while there is still some of him left to see.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
