On the other hand, the important numbers of her blood counts are increasing. Visibly her skin is improving and the ulcers in her mouth are healing. It's hard to convey to her that her progress is good because it her eyes it's one crisis after another, and just as one thing improves, something else goes wrong. What didn't help yesterday was that I went into the games room to get something to amuse her, and was told that I couldn't take anything that couldn't be cleaned due to her isolation restrictions. I do understand the importance of these, but I also care about Vicki's mental state, and you would've thought the hospital might have come across this scenario before and have something to entertain her with, wouldn't you? As it happens there was, just the 'play specialist' was unable to offer any of them. Fortunately another 'play specialist' who specialises in older children was able to offer DS games and DVD's.
I've bitten my tongue all week, but this has been winding me up all week so I've got to have a rant about it now. Cheryl Cole. I was incensed by her breaking down crying in the X Factor, because she's got it hard on 'Diva' week. Well let me tell you something love, you want to try swapping places with my daughter, then you'll know what hard is. It must be really hard to have a well paid job, really hard to be on the telly and in the newspapers all the time, really hard to have a premiership footballer for a husband, really hard to get some free airtime to promote your new single, really hard to do the job that you are actually being paid to do. I really feel for you love. Any time you want to swap, just let me know, I'll sort it out.

I have to say this is always going to happen. 2 years on I still get mad when people moan about ridiculous things or complain that they are tired!!! They don't know the meaning of the word. But after a while you just have to accept that other people's problems are real to them and they have no comparison to the tragic circumstances that we find ourselves in. So now I just tend to grin and bare it and secrectly seeth inside - otherwise I would make new enemies daily - which won't do me or them any good. Although maybe keeping it all hidden inside is not healthy either. But anyway I know just what you mean!! Lots of love Anita XX
ReplyDeleteCheryl Cole along with 99% of the other celebs that clutter our everyday existence are as much use as chocolate fireguards.The media itself is so far up its own posterior heaping praise on these big headed show off that they don't give a stuff about "real" people any more.
ReplyDeleteAs an example of how cocked up the media is, i asked the sun to mention the fact that today marks the death of Anthony Nolan (Oct 21st 1979)...just a small mention in recognition of all of the lives that have been saved due to the work of the Anthony Nolan Trust...result?....a fat bloke gets 2 pages inside and the front cover cos his ambition is to be the worlds fattest man!...go figure !
Andy: Spot on:
ReplyDeleteAnita: I know the non-celebs of this world (ie real people) will all have their own issues to deal with, and although that is hard, I don't get so wound up with that. But someone who has as much as Cheryl Cole does, and is being paid handsomely to do the very job she's whinging about, is a little rich, even if I wasn't looking at the world through my daughters situation.
