Hi Debs
First of all I hope you are feeling better soon :rose:
And as someone who nearly met their maker only a few weeks ago I can definately say that the experience has made me look at life differently.I don't tend to get frustrated by other people as much,I'm calmer with the children,I enjoy simple things like sunshine/rain/ birdsong and spontaneous hugs from my kids,I treasure them telling me that they love me and I have vowed never to take anything or anyone for granted ever again.
Bit of a sober topic but thanks for posting it :inlove:

Yes Debs I forgot that side of it!!!! LOL
I can honestly say that I have also learnt to say 'No' more often (rather than let people take me for granted!!).....and I've actually taken 'time out' for myself more often aswel.... but is that really being selfish or is it being aware that sometimes you just have to do something for yourself cos no other bugger seems to do it!!??

Hiya Debbie
I have been close to death, or in a situation where i thoughht death was never far away, on a number of occasions - I was out in both Gulf wars, and that experience alone has decidedly changed my outlook on life. to top it all off i've lost both parents in the past three years, and been diagnosed with Hodgkins. | guess on the whole - i'm more of the opinion that life is too short, and i'm going to do as much of the stuff i want to do now, whilst i have both the funds, the time, and the energy. People from the site who know me well enough will probably be able to testify to the change in me over the past year. The flip side to this is that i am much less tolerant for that which i consider to be wasting my time.

I have just had a very touching pm of a carer that looks after ....... a person that has had trummer in there life and now living life very lay-ed back
Its very difficult for a peep on the other end (meaning carer)...somtimes more then the person they are looking after them selfs.......................
I did fight for many years to have Justis to those carers................. and thank goodness they are now being recolonized!
I am iat moment with out going into to much detail as this is open to every one
providing some support for disability peeps and carers
Well ive had some pretty scary kebabs
Only last Sunday I lost control of my car after returning from the south having visited an elderly relative who has just gone into residential care. The stress , the journey , and lonfg hours at work the preceding week took their toll...my eyes must have closed for no more than a couple of seconds ...
Lost the car at a speed that I didnt expect to survive(70mph +) and my life flashed before my eyes as the car swerved one way then another before smashing violently into the central reservation of the motorway.I thought ....is that it is that all my life has amounted too in all these years...lol .Fortunately no one was hurt in the smash...including me .
It has certainly made me re order my priorities ...no more working 10 12 and 14 hour days which has been far too regular of to live and not live to work is my new motto .
Debs I hope you are well on the road to full recovery for you are one of this sites most cherished assets .!!!
Im kinda knowing how you feel.
My cousin lost her eight year battle with cancer on wednesday, she was 63.
It wasnt the cancer that killed her, she had been in hospital to have another tumour removed from her sinuses ( i went to see her, she was her usual chirpy self) she got home last wednesday and a week later while getting ready to go out an artery somewhere in her head blew and she bled to death in less than 3 minutes.
Her poor husband didnt know whether to stay with her or call 999... he ran for the phone.. by the time he got the phone and got back to her she was dead...
so guys.. life is precious... make the most of it.. you just never know whats around the corner

Hi Debs, get better soon...and be careful!
Mike.
Debbs,
All I can say is what I said in a pm, take care and you know where I am,
(call me if you want but NOT during working hours)
My first wife died at 23 leaving me with a 6 month old baby. It certainly changed my out look on life. My second wife has lost her sister who was only 19 her father who was 45 and her mother at 63. We certainly live for the day.
Although I'm new here, I do hope that you takce care Debs and take the time to recover.
As someone who takes part in various "extreme" sports (I parakart, motor race and rock climb), I value each and every day, and I always give thanks, when I have incident free session.
I currently have, two friends with broken backs, one with a shattered knee, one with a broken shoulder (kiting accidents) and two friends that were involved in climbing accidents.
Approx 5 weeks ago I totalled my race car at Silverstone, after aquaplaning at over 100mph into the concrete wall on the start/finish line. In the few moments before the impact (which was in slo-mo for me), I did think..."Oh bugger...this is going to hurt!". Thankfully, I only needed observations, as the safety equipment did it's job.
Again, take care.
Si.
Hi Debs

Hi Debs,
I hope that the pain is not too bad, and that you are perhaps taking things a little easier.
Get well soon and as others have said be careful.
