It saddens me to see that the government of my country is still quibbling over the costs of drugs such as Aracept which is prescribed for people suffering from various forms of dementia. At £2.50 a day, for this particular drug, it seems such a small price to pay for a drug that can make the long road that suffers and their families face that much easier.

I know many would say well there are other illnesses out there that deserve treating as well but it is my expereince caring for my late father that makes me so cross that the discussion is even being had regarding these drugs

Goodbye Dad

I recently had to arrange a funeral for the first time ....... not something that you would go out of your way to be involved in I know. However when its your father you cannot really avoid it i suppose.

I am the youngest of 4 but was the one who looked after him and had to make some of the most difficult descisions about him

We all need friends

This is a subject that i will be returning to from time to time. I was reading a blog a friend wrote and it set me thinking (as all his blogs do .... well when they are not making me cry that is) about MY friends.

I am not one to make friends easily .... well I don't think so .... you see I am fundamentally a shy person. I blush easily and can get very well uncomfortable in crowds. Part of that stems from being so small - in larger groups of people I tend to feel claustrophobic if I cant see which at my height I cant usually. So I began to avoid crowded places unless I could sit up higher and look beyond other peoples shoulders. Anyway whats this got to do with friends I hear you ask!! Well I am rambling again (something I am good at) but also trying to set the scene

Warning!! Sensitive issue right now!

May 5th 2007 08:37

The other week I read Nick's blog about how he was feeling and wrote a long comment on his thoughts saying that this was an issue I would at some point talk about myself.

Depression. A subject that many people speak of in hushed tones or mouth the word rather than say it. Well its not a dirty word. Its not something to be ashamed of. It isn't something you can catch from the "carrier". It is not something that you can control. You CANNOT just snap out of it or pull yourself together to get out of it. It is not that occasional blue feeling you may have on a Monday morning or on the first day back to work after a holiday. It is so much more than any of this. And yes I have, over the years, heard much of this being said not necessarily to me but to, and about others. And you know what? It makes me so mad
