I have watched with interest the videos posted by Kath Graham and on the news on our television here in the UK. about the belief they have a cure in the offing for pulmonary hypertension. I did post a couple of blogs a few months ago and a video from last year about this drug. So it was with delight I opened my Facebook page after a couple of days away to see another news bulletin and another video with an update on this saying we have funding in place now to move it further forward.
If I am fortunate enough to be around when they begin trials I have been told that I shall have the chance of trialling this new hope of a cure. I still believe that I will be around and will trial and will be cured. I have always said I won't die of this disease and so I remain strong in my belief. Now I know I have been criticised for "blathering" on about a cure by somebody who believes it won't be around anytime soon but I for one prefer to listen to the researchers and specialists who believe it will be rather than the sceptics who prefer to say it won't........ which camp are you in, a pessimist or an optimist regarding the words of the researchers? I would love some replies to this blog.
Just returned from a couple of days in Whitby and what a lovely time we had. Michael our friend who came with us enjoyed himself too which is lovely as he sadly lost his wife a few months ago so it was so nice to see him smiling and laughing, if only for a short while. We can't know how he is behind closed doors but I am proud as to how strong he is being.
We went to Sandsend whilst we were at Whitby to see the 7 million pound project underway to build a defence wall as the road is in real danger of slipping into the sea. We talked to some of the guys working on the plant machinery. Everyone was well educated in the job they were carrying out and to our untrained eyes it all seemed to be going along very well. We shall see as we shall return in six months when the job should be completed.
It was so nice to spend some time with my godmother as this was the real reason for our sojourn up North. She looked well which pleased me though of course incredibly sad to have lost her husband of 66 years. Colin and Michael were able to help her out by putting a blind up for her and she was so relieved about this as it had been playing on her mind, As somebody whose husband did all these type of jobs around the house and then to have lost him of course all these tasks small though they may be loom large in her mind, It was lovely to be able to at least relieve her of this task.
My godmother bought me a pair of beautiful jet earnings. I have always loved this mineral and it was made popular by our Queen Victoria who loved this and had many pieces of jewellery containing jet made for her. These earrings will always mean so much to me now as I will never wear them without thinking of her.
I am posting this very short blog for one reason. Lots in the UK on Facebook will have seen the video and the newsreel from yesterday. Lots in America and others world wide though won't so here is the attached news link and video for your information:-
Now I have a mountain of washing to catch up with so I shall talk nicely to Colin in the hope he sends this blog out for me
Keep well everyone. Carole xxx
