Hi Paul,
I am overwhelmingly distraught and deeply saddened to hear about your diagnosis. It really is devastatingly tragic news. I cannot begin to imagine just how you will be feeling and coping with it. I have no idea what I can say that will provide any form of comfort or reassurance. I’ve had to compose myself before trying to say something, anything, that could possibly be helpful.
I recall when you first joined Lemon Fool and how you’ve become part of the fabric over the last [nearly] two years. I think you were a Fool before you became Foolish and have certainly been a very positive and constructive Fool.
I’m sure you’re getting all the support you need, medically, physically, and emotionally. But would you mind, as it will help me to feel as if I’m doing my bit, if I closed my post with a suggestion please. As you’re aware I’ve spent a lifetime dealing with serious health issues of my own and I’ve become addicted to positive thinking … that often gets me into bother with others.
You may be aware of this website.
MND-SMART. If you’re not, please may I suggest you pop over and have a quick look.
If I recall correctly geography limits my ability to extend an offer of help outside TLF. But if you feel the need to talk don’t hesitate to post on Comfort Cafe. I know I speak for the entire Fool community when I say you will never be judged in here.
I am genuinely gutted to hear about your diagnosis.
For what its worth may I close with a small suggestion please
Take care mate
Darrell
