:D Bloody Hell,there seems to be alot of stuff going on at the moment.I feel incredibly lucky? to have survived my illness at christmas and despite the continuing problems,reading about other people's illnesses and how they are coping makes me feel rather humble.My heartfelt best wishes to anybody going through or helping someone through it all.:D

My best wishes go to you and Sadie, Jools.I can only praise the both of you on your outlook.Hopefully being upbeat will make things easier and keep the MS at bay!

Jools. I know how much you cherish Sadie. That's been obvious ever since I joined the club and I know you've got what it takes to deal with this, no question.

And Tortuga, bl00dy hell man, chilling but worth telling, for sure. As has been said, it puts things into perspective and I for one am proud to be associated with a club whose members and their families have such courage and determination.

Jools,

Firstly, I have never meet you but you were one of the first to welcome me to this board so like many others here I have genuine sympathy for your current situation.

Today I have just got home from a funeral of a close work collegue who has unfortunately lost his fight with cancer. If there is anything I have taken from his last 12 months it is that life is indeed far to short and cruel and every moment with those dear to you should be cherised.

Its heartening to hear of yours and Sadies attitude towards MS.

I wont go on but can only pass on my regards to you and yours,

Alan...

Jools & Sadie,

Thoughts are with you, both of you are showing tremendous courage.

I have a cousin that has had MS for many years and he still has a very active and rewarding life.

All the best, Roy & Sandra

Best wishes to you and Sadie
Tim

Hi Jools

Just want to echo all the above and know you and Sadie will both find a way to deal with whatever the future brings. My wife developed chronic fatigue syndrome after giving birth to our second child and nothing has been easy since but one thing is for sure, you just adapt to change and make it work for you. Bit like moving house I guess.

And I thought I had problems. all the very best for the future Mr & Mrs Jools. I wish you the very best in your fight Tortuga.

Jool's , Regrets, I've had a few! but then again, too few to mention;)
and so the song goe's ;)

You will win through mate!

Good luck to both of you!

I can identify with TORTUGA!


My own story,

I went to school with a beautifull girl, we sat next to each other all through school, we were soul mates!

years later, I married her sister ;) My best Friend from school married Her!

when she was 23, she came to work in my haulage business,
one day when she was 25, she came into work and after a while, she complained of a headache!
minutes later she hit the deck, I tried in vain to stop her swallowing her tongue as she was having a fit! I held her in my arms whilst I was waiting for the ambulance !
but it was not meant to be!!!!!!!!!!

For five years i visited the Grave and punnished my self as to the reasons why i could not save her!

at the time I was young, foot loose and Flying with my own business!

But it somehow changed my out look on life from there on in!

Since that day I have lost some real good mates, on bikes and I have had mates ask me why I am so "hard" at the funerals!!

I cant explain why!

Mrs mav recently went through Breast cancer and touch wood we are now over the worst!

I remember asking the surgon to fit a pair of 44DD's on Mrs mav

:lol:

The up shot of it all, is this jools ! as dickie said earlier PMA
Positive mental attitude!

dont ever give up you Two ! and never give in to it!!;)

keep the faith

We all have a story to tell. >>>>mav

To Sadie & Jools, wish you both the best for the future, live it to the full, wich I am sure you are both doing. Have lost my dad & a close friends to the big C over the past few years, it is a cruel yet beautifull world we live in, go & enjoy it.
