FC,

I was thinking about your little one earlier and his bike:)

Would it help for him to do some of those exercises where you lie on the floor and pedal in the air. You could put some pressure on his feet to aid his movement and it might get him used to the circular movement.

Probably a silly thought but you could maybe turn it into a game:)

Evening guys - not been able to catch up to post as not been online much. We have the Celebrant coming tomorrow morning to discuss service, then I am taking my brother down to Registrar's for 1.30pm to get death certificates ..... oh, and me and my sister are popping round the corner to the florist to sort out our wreaths ..... so a busy day for us all tomorrow. Funeral is on Tuesday 9th April at noon, so quite quick really

Good afternoon all, just back from the hospital (again) and the results of my biopsy are complicated, this is my second transplant kidney 3 years ago, first only limped along for a few weeks, but this one has been giving a good 26% function until I got a e-coli infection last month and gp gave me an inappropriate antibiotic!! so now the damage is done either by the infection or the antibiotic and my renal function is at 13% just so ticked off as I waited 10 years for the call in the first place and one tiny hic-cup and I feel bombed out, sorry to moan will allow myself this one day then it's back to making the best of it.:o

So sorry to hear this izzy65, I do hope the infection clears and things start to look better

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone for your thoughts and wishes for DS and I over the past few days, it's more than we got in RL just more hassle from some people who are more interested in trying to ease their guilt over how they treated DH but I told them to tell someone who cared because I wasn't going to give them the response that they wanted.

It's been hard for us both, DS has just had a big break down and is cuddled up to me at the moment going through old photos. I don't know what else to do with him, he was fine until this afternoon but I couldn't calm him down earlier so we both just sat and cried, I felt so helpless.

This happens all too often, my neighbour lost her hubbie the year before i lost mine and I explained to her that DS may talk about him a lot as we'd spent so much time with him but she was happy that someone would talk so fondly of him.
When we first moved in DS (then 4yrs old) made a point of letting him know the names of the birds in the garden and that started off a great friendship between them, they shared their love of birds and he showed DS the different feathers of the birds that he sourced for the restaurant trade. They enjoyed their time together but his wife didn't realise how much time they'd spent together and how much he was missed by us all.

We had a good heart to heart after DH died and she explained how so many friends and family just disappeared because they didn't know what to say. She was glad she had us and a few other neighbours to help her
It is hard when you see people you know walk past as if they haven't seen you, it's hard when everyone flinches when we mention DH's name and talk so openly about him but he is still a major part of our lives, everything we do reminds us of him and if he would like it or do it the same way or not. Not a day goes past that we don't mention him in some way or other or something reminds us of him.
I have had people say we shouldn't mention him so much but to me that's like pretending he's not important anymore. I have had people be nasty about DS talking about him and that made DS feel bad, I told them to eff off and told DS if they don't like what he says that's their problem but these are the people with a load of guilt on their minds and don't like being reminded of him.

I do so feel for you and your DS SpiralingDown We do need to let off those emotions though so cry away, both of you. I talk very openly about Mr 3Dogs and my close friends do too, but I have also noticed that people I thought of as very good friends have drifted away, as they don't know what to say. Two people in particular, Alan would be very disappointed in as they have not been in contact with me since September, but I suppose he would not be surprised, as I say just disappointed. I know who my real friends are now and I depend on them a lot, as people will have picked up, but they are happy to be there for me, as I am for them, and I have my family too which helps. I hope that you can get through this together, you and your DS, and look to your future as well as your past :A Lots of hugs hun

Logie, I am pleased that you have started the last round of your chemo and I am praying for a good result from your scan :A

Goodnight everybody, I hope the night shift have a great time.

Izzy I hope you are feeling better soon, I am sorry to hear you have had such a bad time.

Spirallingdown I hope you and your son are ok, it's good that you can both grieve together, I hope that tomorrow is better day for both of you.

If I wasn't in bed I would go and take a photo of some pickled shallots from 2 years ago. A huge jar which we have just opened. They are deliciously strong. I've never added spices because it makes them even stronger I think:)
