Hi all,

I am due for my blood tests in the next couple of weeks. I need to have them 3-4 weeks prior to my appt to ensure that my specialist has them available when I go in to see him. I will be at hospital on December 16. Had a bit of a chest infection recently but seem to be over the worst of it. Am having issues with my legs swelling, not sure whats happening there but will wait to speak with my doctor.

Hope everyone has a lovely day

Hope that everyone can say a prayer for her to return to good health and to us here on the boards.

She is a wonderful lady and friend to us all.

how is everyone ? xx

Hi jean yes i agree its helped me loads xxx
hi lorraine thankyou xx, no one told us about attendance allowance either dad was greeted with it 4 days before he died, i managed to tell him whilst he was concious the smile that finaly there was no more fighting and red tape, but the 1st time it was paid was the last time, mayby one day things may be made a little bit easier for desperatley ill people but i wont hold my breath, nobody wants to need that benefit but this could of helped things a little had it been in place befor he died , also id advise to get a macmillan nurse asap they can help get bath aids travel expensiseanything to make life a little easier, must go lady and dinkey want to sit on my face xxx (chiuhahua)

Puss

sorry for your loss, morning has broken is such a lovely song, we went to Nerja in southern spain, lovely place with the sierra nevada mounta ins close by, great weather and you can get really cheap flights to malaga this time of year.


Have just sent of dads claim for attendance allowance didnt even realise he could claim it until the mcmillan nurses said, got a a ds1500 from his gp, so annoying that they arent told about these things.

We must keep this thread going, it has and is helping so many, and newcomers will find it useful as well.

ps lorraine so glad you all had and enjoyed your hols, im desperate to get away now xxxx
