How are you doing my friend?
Well I'm still going which is the main thing. My headaches are being controlled with paracetamol and condenewhich is ok for now I have much stronger
pain killers, but I'm saving them. It's been tough, having so many visitors. I've slowly been giving all my things away and making plans for funeral
and living will, so nothing should happen that I don't want. I've had a do not resuscitate in my files since my stroke so hopefully not going to find
myself back in hospital on a stroke ward again. I'm going to have my ashes urged in a bios urn, which is environmently friendly and comes with a baby
tree planted in it. It's to be planted in sun rising hills in Stratford uk. It's actually good to get these things sorted despite the surreal nature
of the conversations. The type of conversations you don't think you'll ever have. So now I'm just comfortable at home enjoying the summer managed to
get out for dinner in the garden, which has been nice. Nice to have a bit of summer in the uk for a change. Thanks for all the encouragement I've
received from people in this thread. I really don't know how long I have, but try to appreciate my moments more these days. While I can. Having
visitors every day has been tiring, but I've now seen most important peopleand saidmy goodbyes, with everyone important in my life which has been
Special and great to see all my friends in a great position in their lives with their families and careers. I've been reassured by my friends they
won't let my brother go off the rails and by family that they will always look after my parents. So I'm feeling much more reassured these days, which
is great. I just feel free to keep going, without any worries. I have had great support from McMillan cancer nurse, these people are very special I
can't imagine doing their job, they are like angels and you can't put a price on them. I've actually become good friends with my nurse now.
The whole experience, is surreal, but has had some special moments I will cherish. Nothing is ever all badly dark in life. There are always chinks of
light and goodness in the worst case of life's circumstances
Thanks again, for all the support, both in this thread and via private messages. It's been very touching and overwhelming
