A Little More Improvement

I have managed to get a little more food in today and have been able to get out and about a little too.

I've been to the doctor's and Notoplip and I did an hour in town shopping for "our women folk".

Nothing too demanding, as that would be foolish considering the last few days I have had.  The focus today has still been on sorting out the medical side with the doctor's visit being part of a wider net of conversations.

I have been talking to the hospital about whether it is worth trying to proceed with the trial drug after Christmas and the feeling is that it depends whether I am having more good days than bad, otherwise it is counter-productive.

A lot of focus over the last few days has also been on the anit-sickness drug that I have been using.  That has now been switched to another "Haloperidol", which I am taking in liquid format.  If I am not able to keep this down and get it into my system then the next step is to have a pump fitted and have it subcutaneously (under the skin).  Obviously, I want to go the oral route first but the paperwork has all been done just in case we need to move with the other option over the holiday season.

  1. Great news Rumps, really good to see you on the Barc BB today....

    You mentioned previously....

    ...."Looking into supplements and / or herbal type support for boosting the weaker parts of my system and my general well-being".....

    ...."Visits to spiritual healers. This is an interesting topic and not everybodys' cup of tea. ... I have a particular person in mind who is internationally renowned and whom I have known about for fifteen years"...

    If I am not being too obtrusive....would be really interested to know how this part of your "Wider Plan" is progressing?....

    Please tell me to mind my own business if you feel it appropriate!!!....I will not be offended!.

    Take care my friend.

  2. TW,
    clients of this healer have to apply because of the volume of requests and I have written and been invited.

    My idea was mainly to open up my own (as much as anyone has them) healing abilities through the help of this person.

    I am going to wait until after Christmas though because I have to go to deepest Suffolk by road and the weather has not been suitable.

    The herbalist is on the top of the list being local but I this has moved down the priority stack because of events of the last few days where the liver problems have accelerated i.e. because my liver is just rejecting food I have had to work with the medics and their nutritionalists just to stabilise the situation before seeking complementary help.

    Cheers Swordfish / Rumps!

    Thanks for the update, and good luck with your trip to Suffolk, very interesting.

    If its of any interest, a friend of mine (who was unfortunately terminally ill) was a great believer in the power of Angel Therapy. Ie a non-denominational spiritual healing method that involves working with a person's guardian angels and archangels, to heal and harmonize every aspect of ones life.

    I suppose this is based more on ones religion. Unfortunately my dear friend is no longer with us, as he passed away with the illness, but I know it prepared him for what finally became the inevitable, and he was at peace with himself when the time came, ie as one with his Angels.....and to this day I recall him saying that last time I saw him that... his Angels were with him to take him on his "journey"...

    Myself, I have no real opinion, I try to approach everything with an open mind and so try not to be too sceptical..but all I can say is that he looked remarkably peaceful, and of course he had his beliefs re where he thought his journey would take him.

    Rumps....apologies in advance for being so melancholy...just brought back some memories....I really do hope you have a degree of respite over the festive season and its been good corresponding with you.

    Take care
