Bonjour everyone!

What is a brain tumour? I can't see or feel it but I know it's there. I wish I was back to me again but i'm not so I just have to wait until I guess I just get better. Thats is all I'm thinking of at the moment and it's what keeps me going - getting better. Well, better than this. Sue, Tom and Oscar came to see me yesterday and it was lovely to see little Oscar with so much energy. Oh I wish!

I do feel that I'm completely in the best place for getting better. Martin and Deirdre are tireless in their help throughout each day in helping me get better. Thankfully they are able to see the changes and constantly remind me of it to keep me going. It does , it helps tremenndously.
Yesterday was great. Jeanette came in the morning and we had breakfast together then I was offf to bed for annther sleep until 4 pn ish. Tom, Sue and Oscae came to visit, we had a walk up toward the next village and then came back - awesome!

It was great to see the Saxlund bunch on such fine form.

Then we had dinner and bed. It seems like I'm sleeping loads and I am. I'm waking at 2am and writing this blog then I try a get back to sleep for an hour or so then up for brekkie back to sleep for a few hours. Then lunch and a walk then a bath then bed again. Up (sometimes) for dimmer then bed again. We all know that sleep helps so I'm the first one to bed!

I'll be better - you'll all be part of that. We're fighting a good fight.........together. Thanks for being on my side! It gives me so much confidince to know you are there.

Love

Ali

HI Ali
Maybe Im the only one awake tonight (3am) now answering your latest message, hope you are back sleeping now and mending. Sleep is good....

All the time you are waiting to get better and wanting to feel better you body is dealing with it inside......we are all behind you waiting for that day when you can scream out that you do feel back to you... hang on in there, listen to your friends, they sound like amazing friends!

Goodnight, Treacle x

Hiya Ali

It sounds like you are in the best place to recover - just keep listening to your body and do what it tells you - sleep is a great healer and is obviously what you need at the moment.
Even though we are not speaking to you, you know we are all still with you every inch (or centimeter) of the way of this horrific journey you are on. So hang on in there - 3 weeks tomorrow we arrive in Courch and do hope we can see you whilst we are there.

Have a good day - lots of love, Julia, Jumbo, Luce and Hugo xxx

Hi Ali

Keep up the fight, you will get there eventually, you just have to be patient. We are still with you every inch of the way. Even though we are not with you in person you are in our thoughts constantly willing you to get better. All those walks will help in your recovery and all that sleep too. Martin and Deirdre are absolute stars, perhaps one day we shall get the chance to meet these wonderful people.
All our love as always
The Conways, Chris, David, Stewart, Jo, Freya, Sarah and Daniel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ali, I'm glad you know that we are all here with you. It's important. You may not be able to see us, but we hear you, we read your words and we say our own private prayers, all in our own way and in our own languages. The thinkshrink team doesn't take time off, there is always someone around the world, to take up the train of thought...some times we shout, but more often, we whisper, we are here for you, get well, we are willing you to get better. Everyday. Always.

The "think shrink" thought waves are so strong they caused a tremor in Lincolnshire that reached all the way to my house!

The power of positive thinking should never be underestimated! The waves are reaching you, I'm sure.

Love,
