BLOKES THREAD-aimed at blokes-shielas welcome.

[serendipityricho]

Seems to be a lack of threads for blokes.
On other threads,some ladies have mentioned, their OHs
would post, but had no interest in most of the threads on offer.
I can bump this thead twice a day,so its easy to find.
Give it a go---Richo.

JV.

Dont mind the early rising -if its not cold--have the heater on and not going out til it warms up outside.

You going back for the open day or staying near your new place?

I just got an email from our local councillor telling me what's happening in our local area. I emailed him back and suggested some kind of discussion on issues relating to death and dying. One thing I have noticed since diagnosis of cancer is that some people treat me very differently, don't know what to say. I saw the same kind of thing when my Dad had Alzheimer's. I thought it could be good to talk about how to say stuff - and also to look at the practical issues relating to dreary diagnoses and pesky prognoses, like wills and Centrelink.

Just thought I would share this here. Going back to read up now.

Are you ready for another outing in .the chair ?

Take care.

Morning all ~~~

JV no sleeve yet my Doc insisted I apply through Enable

a Government Department for the sleeve. So i'm guessing

that's the hold up - I received a 7 page application form

to complete this morning so I will get that done and hopefully

i'm in the system and things move ahead.

Morning Katy, it's always good to have someone to discuss

things of a delicate nature with, I hope you have some luck.

Stuck at home today waiting for a courier it's such a beautiful

day out there I hope he comes early then we can get out

for a bit of sun and fun.

Have a good one.

[ooak3]

dont blame you passing on the shower Richo tricky business with all those holes still in you lol

i will wait a bit to decide if i will go out, to cold still anyway for this little sook 

Katy i dont think theres a right or wrong way to handle meeting someone with cancer or for friends and relatives to know what to say 

its just such a hard subject to handle and i feel sorry for people when they dont know what to say, it can be very awkward for both sides

i still try and act the same as my usual self even though i 'look' so different , must admit i dont like the 'starers' though i think they

should know better than that, on the other end, at the hospital on mon a little girl around 4-5 years old was smiling and waving at me in

my chair with bold head on show she was so sweet , makes up for any fools that are rude

Morning Richo, everyone.  Katy I think some folk simply don;t know what to say, so they say nothing, or pretend  it isn't happening.  It has been happening to me for years, especially when Dad died, back in 1984,  I promised myself I would never ignore anyone, hard as it is, I always try just to be there.  But you have to understand the folk that cannot say or do anything, that's just part of life

I didn;t win ozlotto so back to work for me, oh, hang on, I don;t work, hahahaha

Busy day for me, have a great folks////.

Ooaks don't take the people who stare or look as

being of bad heart - I honestly believe those people

would be more thinking and admiring your strength

at being out and about when you are obviously very unwell.

Like sook me who went to Mum's dear old mate's funeral recently

I couldn't go and pass my condolences to her daughter because

I knew I would burst into tears - so I had to avoid eye contact and

leave as soon as the service was over with a snotty nose and tears

rolling down my cheeks. 

[ooak3]

ooh freddie those are words of wisdom 

must admit i had not thought of it that way with the stareing i def will from now on 

you have made me tear up from you relating the funeral
