Spent 4 years pretending it's all OK

Thinking of you NOA - elderly parents are a great worry. Do you have siblings? If you do now is the time to have a family meeting including OH and offspring too - no ifs or buts..........plans/ideas need to be discussed whilst everybody can think straight and emotions are not stratospheric, before it starts to snowball. Hopefully it wont but whatever the outcome you will have a plan in place. Wishing you well

Hols were really nice. I even learnt some welsh - signs everywhere saying ARAF

Think its an urban myth but I have heard stories of visitors to Wales going home and naming a future new born after something they have seen - Allanfa ( exit ) being the most common :rotfl:: Secretly I hope its true;)

First two days of hols were very wet - non-stop, heavy rain but on the first day we went out anyway and did a gorge walk to see a waterfall. I was a bit concerned about doing it due to steep uneven steps/path but it was something I needed to do for me - at home I start getting cramp in my legs from just climbing stairs so fatigue has been a routine part of the day since beginning of the year.

Get your potassium level up through diet only NOT supplements and magnesium either through epsom salt foot soaks or as I prefer and epsom salt bath - cheap in H0me Barga!ns Great for the skin too. Have heard of people using magnesium oil rubbed into skin also does trick for aches and pains - not tried myself!


But I took the walk really slow and completed it all. Wrists/hands ached all week from gripping the rails but the fact that I was able to complete the whole walk really boosted me.

I recently did something to prove to myself I could still do it - involved lots of zip wires very high up:eek: Family were amazed I still had it. I felt on top of the world:D


The place we stayed was n Snowdonia NP

Hadn't realised you were in my back garden!!


Sorry its such a long post - just had to remind myself we have had a break:D

Just catching up with posts and reading backwards!! yep week back in the saddle and it already feels as if I had no time off at all:(

Hi NOA
I too hope that things are getting better for you, and that your absence doesn't mean something worse.

Thank you all.

Brief visit home first time in over two weeks to keep essentials ticking over. Going back to stay with mum tonight.
My dad left us that weekend. RL doesn't feel real.

so sorry NOA.
lost my mum 2 yrs ago propping up dad became my priority. My only advice would be to find a little time for yourself otherwise you'll find grieving never really happens.


take care chris
