Thanks Caroline. I won't say too much apart from my Grandson is still having treatment and seems to be doing well. People say children are resilient but I didn't really believe it at first but he has shown a strength throughout that has amazed me. Hopefully, near the end of 2026 he will get to ring the bell.
As for me I have such terrible insomnia now and there seems to be no help for it. I told them again when I went for my annual review but I felt it was just brushed off as before. They are more interested in things like cholesterol and blood pressure.
One day, a few months ago, I tripped on the stairs, I was practically sleepwalking. I injured my hand. They said at the hospital it would be better in 4-6 weeks but it is not.
I haven't been on here as much as I would like because I am at the stage now where it is hard to think at times.
I'm celebrating New Year early with sister in law this afternoon but may be asleep when New Year comes. The fireworks will probably wake me up though, I expect. I usually wake properly between 2 & 3 am. I have a 12 hour shift on New Year's Day. I'm to be picked up and taken home. I prefer the bus even though that would take longer. I find bus journeys very relaxing.
I hope to get my sleep issues sorted out in just over a year and a half when I can retire at almost 67. If I can't it won't matter anyway by then.
God only knows how I will get through the next year and a half - I have a very active job.
