Anneliese, so, so sorry to hear about your husband's MNR. I had the same experience when I heard the same news about my dear sister in New Zealand. It is a horrid thing to be confronted with. Please do feel free to PM me. I will be thinking of you both. 
I’ve tears in my eyes reading today’s posts. As charlie says almost too much to take in.
Panache and Anneliese you must both be in shock as must your husbands. I’m hoping the NHS is at its best for you. I do agree with others, Panache if the sheltered accommodation is made available to you please accept it. Others can pack (removers did most of it for us), auction for your home is certainly worth a try, please believe it can all happen.
I’m sorry for your loss Grannyg, people we care about leave such a space.
Oh morethan of course your energy needs to be elsewhere. The image of your daughter with her grandson is beautiful and very precious indeed.
Little Max has determination callgirl, he’s delightful, hope the party went well. The first one is special.
kitty what are you doing getting more germs? Hope mrlester is looking after you. Get better soon. Persie is a gem.
You’ve had a rough weekend ann, it must have been oh so hard seeing your husband but you went with your heart, you could do nothing else. Hope the formalities can be accomplished without hitch.
Excellent path n&g. I had the same thought as 1inamillion, is the West Wing at the end? (Not nosey, definitely interested 
).
Can I introduce a little positive? Mr C saw a consultant today about his skin ‘thing’, she advised removing and testing it but is as sure as it’s possible to be that there is nothing sinister. Phew.
Hope today went well soop and harrigran, there are a lot of medical appointments about that’s for sure.
I know I haven’t mentioned everyone and I also know there’s no need to apologise but I will in any case. Everyone is important.
Take care everyone, TOYA.
ann don’t apologise. You have had the most demanding time and the delay because of the bank holiday is just making things so much worse. Unfortunately with other kitcheners it truly is an age thing. We are all going in the same direction and have to deal with horrid health issues.
At the moment although I am very upset, especially as the MND diagnosis was a total shock, I am being totally irreverent about his beloved Man Utd, which we are watching at the moment! I’m sure he has no idea of the implications so I am trying hard to stay upbeat! This is just the first step on a very difficult journey.
My dear Panache I cannot say how sorry I am for this latest setback. And thank you for your support. I know there will be lots of difficult things to us to deal with.
I have a dental appointment first thing, so any tips for dealing with puffy eyes will be most welcome! I probably sound so frivolous, but at the moment I’m trying to hold things together. Which will all fall apart when DD rings later tonight.
TOYA
You’ve been in my thoughts dragonfly, I’m sorry you’re struggling but then I think why wouldn’t you be? Come and talk to us or just sit and rest here, whatever helps. .
Panache & Annaliese what sad news for you both.
Such awful news to receive and I am so very sorry Panache and Anneliese Lifting you all up in prayer. xx
You too soop, Dragonfly and Ann and so many others just now.

I feel very reticent in sharing that we have indeed had a joy day in that Himself was brought home by ambulance today and doesn't have to go back. It is quite a challenge as there is very little in place and we are both feeling pretty overwhelmed but know that we just need to go with how we feel.
I was a bit surprised since he has a hospital appointment at noon tomorrow and that is going to be an interesting excercise actually getting him there since I can't lift his wheelchair into the car. I am just praying that the Lord will send someone at just the right moment tomorrow morning when I need the help. My poor man fell asleep just as soon as I got him into bed and is gently snoring so I think I must try and follow suit.
TOYA and sending (((((hugs))))). What a blessing the kitchen is to so many of us. 
Synonymous, why not "hang the expense" and go by wheelchair accessible taxi, presuming of course tnhat there is one in your area? I`ve had to do that acouple of times recently in order to get my daughter to hospital appointments.
Panache and Anneliese, I`m so very shocked and sorry to read the news about your husbands, I feel so helpless.
Ann, when my husband died it took a week to get everything signed so that I could get the death certificate. I did as MawB suggests, I got a few copies, a copy was requested several times, so good job I did. I couldn`t face going to see my husband at the Chapel of Rest, I was with him when he died, my youngest son went and said he wished he hadn`t, he said "that wasn`t my dad there."
Morethan, what a beautiful photo, your DIL looks so relaxed and happy.
Soop, I hope all went well at the hospital.
Corner, so pleased that your husband`s news was good.
N&G, congrats to Grampy, that`s one hell of a path!
My I share 2 more 1st birthday photos of Max, they`re better than the ones I took.
Although I no longer post I do read every day and wanted to say I'm thinking of all of you who are having such dreadfully hard times at the moment
synonymous, another option might be volunteer transport. Round here, the Royal Voluntary Serice offers that service. My DH is a volunteer driver for them and manages user's wheelchairs.
corner, that is good news. We had good news yesterday. DH's latest scan (on his kidney and ureter) showed no abnormalities.
Lovely photos callgirl.
dragonfly we are happy to listen if you are struggling.
TOYA
Thinking of you all
I find it hard to express how sorry I am for all in distress or suffering as my own emotions are still fragile, but I would not want you to think I am not caring.
Morning all !
The weather is like the kitchen today , drab, grey and overcast. Such a lot of sadness . But hopefully there will be a little sunshine too . I agree with Doodle we need some good news as well as all the sad.
Loved the photo of little Max Callgirl , he's a cracker !!
Even if you don't feel like sharing Dragonfly , pull up a share and just enjoy some company ?
Good idea from Corner , Syn about the taxi if you can .Hope all goes well today .
Yes, the new path leads to the West Wing Corner, with a fetching detour past Grampy's new Oval Office where the tender plants are now happily ensconced ! I like to think of it as consolidating them all in one place to make it easier for the bugs to eat them lol
Grampy's back remains 'tricky' so combined with the rain we shall stay put today . The job for today is swapping the winter for summer clothes. Our new little house is too small to have everything out at once so we do a seasonal swap - but after his recent weight loss I suspect the charity shop will be getting a donation once the swap is done !!
I'll leave you with a picture of an unexpected visitor to the bird table yesterday !!
Happy days x
I was blamed yesterday for the dip in temperature because I had done just that with my clothes n&g. I sort of like the opportunity for a sort out, sadly not because of needed weight loss 
.
Funny old day here, clouds one minute, sun the next. We have a monsoon forecast for later. I’m going to try to sort a short UK holiday for later in the year. Notice I said try. No guarantees.
Just need to say to mawb that no one would think she didn’t care. We all need to be as we are.
Take care everyone. TOYA.
