Up to now I never have bought a tin containing something different than written on the label - but maybe I only was lucky!

Hi Mac, Thank You for your support!! -- Have three Appointments this month and two next month -- and i am slightly frightened of the results. That is without Eve's problems. (still don't want to be young again)--Two friends are bad and One has terminal cancer -- Guess it all comes with age and never thought it would be like this. There are so very many, far worse off than we are and makes us wonder just what help they receive, to have a reasonable quality of life? Huh

Mac, Sometimes things can only get worse?? --A friend,Died Today, riddled with cancer!! ---- Our Close Friend,now in wheelchair mode(Terminal Cancer) has to decide, whether to accept the 'Treatment' or not?? Eve, getting all stressed and me?? I shall be using a wheeled walker from next week (same as last year) But it sure is Better than a 'Stick'!!
Don't i sound a right misery?? -- I am still in 'laughing mode'even though I fell twice in the garden. -- Well?? Goes with Olde AGE and 'maturity' --- Maybe Roll Eyes

Phoenix it's really hard to lose a good friend - I share your grieves.
As to the wheeled walker, I always propose my mother to use one - walking would be much easier for her, but she refuses. She always says she will have problems to get with it in the bus.
Yes, in Germany buses are far from being suitable for old and handicapped people although the number of senior citizens increases continuously.

Hi Teri, Thank You!! guess we both feel, bitter and hurt, with so much stress. At least we have been trying to 'work it off' by gardening.--- If your Mother tried a 'wheeled walker' to see how easy it is than a 'stick'- Less strain on the legs too, She would possibly say - "Should have done this before" -- I believe all Buses here have low steps to assist the Elderly-Surely someone would 'Fold' the frame for Her Huh

ON and OFF???
