Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 She sounds like a very strong person to have endured the past 5-6 months with tubes and it's thrilling to hear of someone with her endurance and tenacity. Isn't she amazing?? With the help of her family, she has been the one making the final decision on her own treatment.They even had a court hearing in her hospital room because the judge wanted to hear what SHE wanted, not what everybody else wanted. No one is going to pull those tubes out unless she gives the ok. She has tremendous faith and courage. When I worked with her I never would have thought she could handle something like this with such dignity, perserverance and strength. Most of us would rather be in a coma to avoid having to make the decisions she has to make for herself. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hello, I would like to ask you all if you could please help me out with the following problems: 1. Can you please sign your name at the end of you post, this is the only way a legally blind person can know it's the end of the message. 2. Please trim your messages, lately this is something that has gone an noticed, this causes me a great deal of difficulty because I don't know if its the same message I'm hearing twice or that my system is acting up. 3. Please when replying to a message put a space between the old and the new message. This another thing that is very difficult for me to understand at times. Thanks for your co-operation and understanding. Dear Maddalena. We will do our best to help you with all of your requests. I apologize for not paying more attention to some of the messages that were not trimmed properly. Is it easier if the person answers a previous message after the one they are responding to, or before the message? Love, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bee, it's much easier for me to understand if the answer is after the original message. With many thanks.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hi Cam, I'm so happy you sent out this important reminder. When I was doing my surgery research, I learned so much from all the stories, photos and postings. I had posted my pre-revision story in May and I've been intending to write my post-op story for a while now. Your request gave me the nudge I needed - thanks! I created an 'Ann Marie " folder under the Member's Story section and I also posted two other documents under the main section. I'm looking forward to reading more members stories as they are posted. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Ann Marie, Thank you so much for taking the time to put these documents together and in a place where they can be easily found by members in the future. I am going to take the liberty to repost your 10 week report as a new post so those that don't go to the files regularly benefit from your work and wisdom. I know sometimes it feels like you are not making progress, especially the time period you are coming into now. I remember thinking at 10 months that I would NEVER be able to do anything again. Wrong....at 12 months I was snowshoeing up mountians and at 14 months I could comfortably ride a bike. It will happen for you too!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 It's probably already been made but this year food banks are at an all time low. So if you can-anything at all-even one can-will be helpful. My family will not be giving presents for anything we celebrate in lieu of providing offerings this year.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Diane, isn't that Joyce Forge's role in Basildon? In the past (?1988-98?) I knew a number of liaison health visitors, and recall three common functions: 1. support for 'vulnerable' families attending with infants, including homeless families, refugees and those children in need of safeguarding; 2. arranging home visits for frail older people attending for minor falls/burns e.g. a rapid community OT assessment or CPN dementia specialist; 3. support for unaccompanied young people such as self-harming teenage runaways or transient young drug users: liaison mental health nurses may now be filling the gap for this, third, clientele? There was a RCN Forum for liaison health visitors back then, chaired by my friend Sheelagh Rengert, but in the various RCN re-organisations that Forum may have disappeared. Best wishes, Woody. ________________________________ From: on behalf of Diane DeBell Sent: Mon 29/03/2010 11:46 Subject: A request Dear Colleagues, Can you advise on the following please?
