Life throws you curve balls
So my father in law has been diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer which in a healthy person the timescale is 12 months but he’s very weak and frail but now at home And then yesterday I get a message late in the evening from my Niece to say that my Sister had collapsed at home and has been taken into hospital. She had been feeling poorly last few weeks but put it down to a virus but after some initial tests she had high potassium levels which have started to attack her kidneys and also sepsis which they have started to treat via a drip. I really think 2026 can F@@K off already and with something that’s going on at work this is going to test my own mental strength but I know I will get through better then the old Bob would of 💪💪💪
Hoodie has arrived
Just had a message from home to say a parcel has been delivered must be my hoodie hopefully 🤞
Let the fog fuck off
Who’s been out for a walk this week? Who’s taking steps to clear the fog? Who’s stuck and doesn’t know which foot to lead with?

Been out a few times after work to clear my head and just think positive thoughts and take in the fabulous views I’m lucky to have living on the coast 👍
Life can be a bitch
I’m generally a positive guy. My glass is always half full. So when I’m faced with family issues. I’m the rock. I’m the go to guy that helps everyone. My father in law is ill. As the tests produce the info it seems he could be terminally ill. We have 2-3 days before we get a full diagnosis. So, I am reaching out for a little help to stay positive over the next couple of days to stay the rock I am considered to be by my family. I’m not looking for sympathy. Just some friendly advice.

Steve going through this myself at the moment with my father in law who’s just been sent home from hospital yesterday but he’s now very frail. My wife lost her mum last February so that’s still very fresh in her mind. I’ve been going to work and when home trying to switch off for sometime just for me, the old Bob would of switched to alcohol to cope with what’s going on but I know that just masks things and won’t make it go away. So I’ve been walking in all types of weather just to clear my head and concentrate on me as I know when the time comes I will have to be strong for her Sorry you and your wife are going through this and thoughts are with your father in law 💪
