Hi Mark and Meg,
Positive thought makes positive things happen! If you "bottled" all the positive thoughts for you both from STW well wishers it would fill a bottling plant and then some!

All the best for your wedding day.

I think love is an amazing power and it is clear you love each other very much, may that love and sharing of that love carry you both through and bring you moments of joy. It is also obvious there is alot of love here for the both of you.

Love to you both...

Hmm, i'm not a medical person, but I know fluid retention is quite common when patients are suffering from heart problems. I sincerely hope this is true in your case and that there is nothing more going on. I wish you the very best for a speedy recovery!

I also admire your courage and positive spirit! You are a shining example of these qualities and the guys who provide the STW forum must be proud to have on their site "the mother of all positive threads"!

I hope you both to enjoy your day on Saturday. You clearly share a very special love between you for which we can only be envious.

Good luck for Saturday.

Hi guys,

Been a while eh? As Meg mentioned in the previous post, I have spent the last four days in the Royal Marsden being poked, prodded and moaned at. After what we thought was a routine meeting on Monday, there was a concern about the amount of liquid around the right lung, and so another extended stay was required. I'm sick of bloody hospitals. They're demoralising, depressing and sterile; all the things I don't need at the moment.

Time seems to stand still in there, and the lack of communication between departments is a constant issue. I was sat in a ward next to an old man (82) who cried constantly, and told anyone who would listen about how all he wanted to do was to make it to his grandsons 18th birthday in four years time.

It's really difficult; on one hand you want to comfort someone like that, as they're obviously struggling with the bad news, but 82 is pretty good going, and unless you have a positive attitude, how can you expect to beat this bloody thing?

I'm not going to moan anymore. I'm still having issues with deep breaths, but I'm getting married tomorrow and I couldn't give a flying toss about owt else. Granted. I'm unable to drink, lie down or have sex in any degree of comfort, but at least there'll be cake.

Being sober you will have the benefit of remembering every last minute of it - something most couldn't claim, myself included.

Relax and enjoy it all and take a minute to sit back from it all and watch people milling around as if you don't it'll bo over too soon and you'll have missed it 🙂

Hope you 2 both have an awesome day!

Suspect you will be a little busy tomorrow so have a great day you two, make sure you hit the cake hard and early, came close to missing out on our cake! The relief I felt when we discovered the top bit (of two) was still intact was palpable 🙂

Just read through this thread as I've been away for a while, can't even explain how I feel about it let alone understand the resilience required to maintain your attitude in this situation. All I can say is that tomorrow morning I'll to get up and remember how lucky I am, forget the day-to-day teacher's grief I lay on my missus most afternoons and hang out with my little girl at the park, maybe the cinema, or the shops... but smiling all the while.

I hope you have a tremendous day, my sincerest best wishes, Dougie.
