Terminal and. Scared - UPDATE !

Hi Kevin,

Your reply brought tears to my eyes, you are such a sweet man, to me you are very courageous it takes an awful lot of guts to admit that you have made mistakes in life and are suffering terribly as a result, we all think it won't happen to us.

I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my daughter and was warned that I would probably get diabetes in later life. There is nobody in my family who has had diabetes so I thought I would get away with it, I carried on being a chocoholic and eating all the wrong things I had a terrible sweet tooth and wasn't satisfied with one piece of cake I would always have two, and here I am now almost twenty years to the day with T2 Diabetes. I have been borderline for probably about 2 years, but didn't do anything about it, if I had taken action straightaway I would not be in this situation today and could have delayed the onset for a few more years.

Your sad story has certainly shocked me into looking after myself, and the reality of what may lie ahead if I don't is terrifying. I am truly grateful that you allowed me and the rest of the forum into your life to help us not to suffer as you have.

I know you must be very scared and who wouldn't be in your situation, it takes someone very special to care about others when they are suffering so much, and Kevin YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL.

Take care, speak soon.

A BIG HUG to you and your family.

Love Marilyn xx

Love to you and wendie xxx

Hi kman always always look fo your posts and to see if you are online only post when you can dont take too much on with blogs and stuff just good to know your about tizzy

Hi kman. I've not been around for a while so I hope your going well. Just read the last few posts and its a bit of good news from the Doc.... I've been off the wagon for a while and I'm really feeling it. I was doing so well too while I was training for a small duathlon. But I got a chest infection just before it so couldn't do it and my healthy regime hit the skids. That was 7 weeks ago and I've been sliding ever since. however I've just glanced through some of your scariest posts and its knocked be back on track. Keep up the good work, but only when you can. Nobody on here wants you to to more than you feel you can but you are a real motivator..... Thank You. Best wishes to the family.....

Folks thank you all so very very much for all your love and support,

I have unfortunately been physically very ill for the last week, unable to eat and keep food down for the last 5 days,

The news of the deterioration in my condition hit me really hard, perhaps even harder than being told i was terminal,

Knowing now that my prognosis is such that my life expectancy is also significantly reduced,

I am very very scared,

The reason for this post, is that i have let some of you know i intend to start a Blog to take over where the Terminal and. Scared Thread left off, and i had intended to start that by now, but because of my physical illness and current state of being able to do pretty much nothing, and the fact this post alone is taking lots out of me, i am therefore begging you all to remain patient with me, and give me approximately another week to re over, and also get my mind back to normal, to be ready to run the blog,

Stay with folks, I want us to continue this journey TOGETHER. !

Love. and. Hugs.

Kevin and Wendie

Hi kman, I do not know you and hope you are all right I am very sorry to hear of your shock with the illness,must not be easy to deal with at all,I hope you are getting through this bit better than the start of the news,it sounds a good idea to do a blog and post things that are meaningful to you and to share with others, I do hope you get through this, I so wish there was a miracle to fix all the ill health and make you better and the same for anyone else.stay strong thinking of you hugs x

When I was a kid in rural Lancashire (and in the books I had at the time) tupped merely meant to hit with your head (still does to me) - guess it means something different now! (where's the blushing icon when you want one)

Does explain why I have odd times heard of a Billy Goat referred to as a Tupp instead........

Just for the sheer randomness.... Tupp in Swedish is a cockerel!
@kman I would be honoured to offer my support for what it's worth! Big hugs to you and your wife. Take carexxx
