    I have lead a interesting and adventurous life ; but have a great fear of ending up in a home being spoon fed if I am lucky ,loosing control of

    knew no more until I woke up. What pleasant way to go ; just like my

    ipm reported tonight that the numbers of reported swine flu cases in England are down this week. I tried to log on to the pandemicflu website on Tuesday to get a reference number for my Tamiflu Rx, only to find that the symptom assessment page doesn't load past page two.
    I wonder if others have had the same experience, and if this has affected the true numbers of cases in England this past week?

    On Bank Holiday Monday I will be the same age to the day as my charismatic Father was when he went into hospital in 1984 for a lung cancer operation; he never regained consciousness but was in a coma for 19 months before dying. I still miss him, cigarettes robbed him of so many years.

    womanonthebalony, my dobermann had a stroke 3 weeks ago, she was admitted into the Royal Veterinary Hospital late Thursday evening, she had an MRI scan the next day Friday and I had the results by the following Monday.Treatment was covered by pet insurance, what does this say about the NHS. Try not too worry too much, I know that's not much comfort. My Dobie is recovering well, not bad for a thirteen and a half year old.
