1 admin and 1 ancillary nurse were fit , the rest were about the size of Hattie Jacques , friendly enough even though they were rushing about .

What ^he said Jack, I couldn't have expessed it better.StMarks wrote:What can any of us say, without it feeling rather glib in these circumstances mate.
I suppose there is an argument for saying that you've only been given a timescale for the same outcome that we all (everybody) must accept, but that most of us can live in denial of purely because of it's unknown quantitative.?
Nonetheless please understand that does nothing to diminish my enormous admiration at your stoic response.
I suspect that you'll battle to prove those medics wrong ? - remember Stephen Hawkins lived 50 years past his terminal prognosis, and isn't Kenneth Lourie still about (with a similar diagnosis to yourself).
We'll all be here for you Jack, even if some of us may feel less helpful than others.

Re: Jack's Updates
Sat in the hospital with a drip in, I have 2 more bags after this one, they take an hour each, and it seems like an hour before each bag gets changed, bored and no good looking nurses to oggle at either.
