    This is really sad Buffy - I thought he'd had a stroke and was in a rehabilitation ward, and on the mend, albeit slowly. I didn't realise he has leukaemia.

    This must be very hard for you all

    & then I think he had a stroke.

  • The order of things went, he became ill, was ill for a few weeks and the doctors couldn't figure out what was going on.

    Then he basically collapsed at the doctors.

    And then at the hospital they realised/found he had leukaemia, the treatment for that caused the stroke, but if they hadn't give the treatment then.....so that then led to them not realising about the stroke because he was in coma induced to deal with the treatment. That was such a bad bad time.

    He is amazing really. And so is my sister, dealing with it and currently being essentially blind in one eye.

    We had more bad news today, my neighbour's son has just been diagnosed with cancer. She was so upset she couldn't explain much and it was just terrible. Again.

    I hate Boris Johnson. !!!!ing utter moron.

    He has risked that woman's life.

    Arrogant stuck up !!!!!!!. Diplomat in chief. AS IF.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

  • Hello, My weekend was going quite well till a couple of hours ago.

    I had a lovely breakfast with my friend, did a bit of necessary shopping nearly killed myself bringing the hay to the car (parked further than normal, won't do that again!) Came home had a horrible sandwich from M and S (not doing that again either!!) and then I had a nap listening to a book of Ghost stories.

    Things on the BIL front are a bit upsetting, so I don't want to talk about that just now. I should be marking. But appear to be watching an old Black and White film with Mum. Hey ho...

  • Just wanted to send you lots of love Buffy. I know how hard it is when there aren't enough hours in the day. Are school aware of what's going on? Just think that if it were my place then they might put some stuff in place to help reduce the load there (well, they would now but not this time last year...)
    Thinking of you and your family and friends.
  • Hello.

    I am shattered, still ill.

    BIL is ok.......not great. but he is more stable in his own mind, not quite as depressed as he was.

    I thought he might lose his place at the rehab because he was refusing treatment but it seems he has settled more.

    My car broke and is going to cost me about 400 quid. I had saved 500 pounds this month to pay off the cc. So ermm. yeah.

    rough week, parents evening, car, terrible kids.

    God I am knackered.

    Love to you all

    XXXXX

    Glad things have stabilised with BIL. It must be hard for him, it's all happened so quickly. It really sounds like deja vu with Mr SA, one minute perfectly ok, the next desperately ill.

    Not so good news with the car :(

    Take care Buffster xx
