Guest Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Michael, I realise that really this is the time when love is truly tested!! A word that today is sometimes overused.. But I can feel through your posts that you truly love each other and that is a fantastic quality. Plus your two's strength of mind is very admirable.. When I next come to Nottm ( sept) I hope your up for a mini meetup.. The magnum suckers are on me!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Having just read my post (#248) I feel a little embarrassed with my comments. It's late at night, my wife had gone to bed because she wasn't feeling well, I was feeling a bit down and put more than I should have done. Never mind, another day and it's started well. My wife is feeling good and I've just dropped her off at the chiropodist. My eldest daughter phoned to tell me that she has sold her house and it only went on the market last Wednesday. She's really happy. I'm also happy because the sun is shining so it'll be a great day for everyone at the Arboretum meetup. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 1,430 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Michael, regarding one of the after effects of your wifes chemo, furry tongue. My mum had same problem and was told to place a slice of pineapple on her tongue, the acidity helps for her it worked maybe worth a try. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 #252 Do not feel concerned about your post Michael, on this site we support each other. Everyone is behind both of you, wishing you well. Love is strong. Chocolate and positive thoughts give endorphins that are good for the well being of both of you. Best wishes. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks to you all for your comments and my wife is going to try the slice of pineapple, Gem. She wants to know if it's ok to turn the pineapple into a cocktail. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 ^^^^^^^^^^Oh yes............... two big ones you both deserve them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 #255 Yes and the alcohol in the cocktail will kill germs. An added benefit to protect against infection (OK if other medication allows it). When my husband used to make home brewed wine I would have a glass of this with my dinner in the evening if I did not have to drive after that. I went 3 years and never had a single cold. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Years ago, I made some wine called Tropical Fruit. I put it in the pasturised milk bottles and I had a few crates of it. It was absolutely beautiful but the problem was, we were drinking too much too soon, lol. When it was all gone we decided that we wouldn't make any more because it would turn us into alcoholics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 RE: tropical Fruit!! When I worked at Boots,w81..(next to grand central diner) Wilford rd Dept made up tons of test bottles..very nice with my sarnies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 My daughter has taken my wife to the hospital today for the tests to see if she's ok to have her chemotherapy later on in the week. They'll be checking the cancer to see if there's been any improvement and will also discuss her future treatment. It's 'fingers crossed' time, folks. I'm at home, stripping the beds and doing all the washing and drying etc. I'd planned to do a few jobs today, mowing, painting, a run on the park with my dog but the rain has put an end to all that. I'll just have to spend my time drinking tea while reading the posts on Nottstalgia as the washing machine and dryer does all the work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 My fingers are crossed Michael, all the best. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thanks, Sue. Everything went well so she can have her chemo this week. Next week she has her scan so we'll see how the cancer is going. Hopefully, that's the important word, 'going' 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Glad to read it went well yesterday for your wife Michael, and we are all waiting for good news with the scan next week. Tell Mrs Booth, we are all thinking of her.x 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 So pleased things are keeping on the right way Michael, I and no doubt others of us know too well what you and Mrs B are going through. Sounds like you're attacking in the right way my friend. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dat47 92 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Every thing you have said is much the same as my husbands treatment. He has just finished radiotherapy, having had chemo earlier. Like you say, the Drs & nurses are fantastic people,& although he is in hospital at the moment it doesn't stop our love & thoughts being sent to both of you.xx 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 So pleased to hear it went well, Michael 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks for your kind messages. It's so true what you state, dat47. Last week my wife received a phone call from one of the nurses (they are all doctors or nurses to us despite their titles..lol) who informed her that she wouldn't be there yesterday because she'd be on holiday. She told my wife all about the nurse she'd be seeing instead. How nice was that and everyone there seems to be the same. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I am so pleased to hear your good news Michael. Best wishes to both of you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 My wife had her chemotherapy yesterday and everything went well. I should state that everything went well for her but not for me. We sat in the waiting room where you can make hot or cold drinks, all free of charge. We sat there having a cuppa when the nurse called out my wife's name. As I stood up I felt my tight brushed denim jeans tear at the back of my right leg, just below my backside. I felt it and found it was from one side of my leg to the other. My wife and the other people in the room thought it was hilarious, their laughter probably because of my blushing face.. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I hope you didn't drop any small change Michael. LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,604 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Not quite a PJ Proby moment, but glad it made everyone laugh! So did you carefully edge out of the hospital with your back to the wall or did you have a top you could tie round you waist? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I wouldn't have bothered too much, Michael. When in hospitals, it's not unusual to see folk in them garments that show your backside to all and sundry. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I had a casual top on that came to just below my waist so there was no chance of hiding my modesty...lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,511 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 You'll have to stop wearing those tight jeans Michael. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
