Water
Can’t get it in
Can’t get it out
I feel like a very popular night club.
Blood
Where isn’t it coming from?
Oh yes, I see, left pinky
Good old pinky.
Food
Dream worthy
Ain’t none hear me
Gates are all shut
Gotta get me some soon
Chefs at your back
Steady
(Oh Christ too much daytime TV).
Sleep
Must away now
From night time
Meanderings
Miss you
Ahh there you are.
Finding it hard to swallow
Huge gulp
Large slap
Am gasping in the corner
Kinda choke.

Hi Moira,
After several visits have manged to send you a message, the brain must be beginning to function again.
I hope those stem cells are doing their job and creating new healthy blood, life does sound a bit grim at the present for you but that sense of humour will be sure to keep you going.
I can't imagine what it must be like makes me feel that what I have to deal with is very minor in comparison!
Glad to hear you have a house in Malvern that will be a great base for you all and whilst they don't quite compare to the mountains of Scotland the Malvern Hills have their own beauty and great walks for when you are better.
Keep those bugs at bay, they are probably one of the biggest enemies, my visulisation when I was having radiotherapy was that the treatment was zapping any 'space invaders' as in the 70's arcade game not sure what that says for my sense of humour but it helped I'm sure you have a defence for infections as well.
You sound as though you have a good support network, keep strong anf fighting, hospital is a rotten way to have to spend your Birthday, have a glass of champagne as soon as you are able.
Love and Best Wishes
Jane

Goodnight Birthday Girl!
Decided to have some fun and google a few combinations on your birthday...
Birthday swallow showed 2,220,000 entries a poem by a rather odd Swede...
"A swallow named Brian
=====================
Brian dreams
He could dream forever
He could maybe imagine
Some would maybe see Brian merely as craniate
Others could say that he has abilities to conceive of
And to do this, one has to be able to ideate
Brian maybe even is a chordate
Brian is a swallow
A bird that can envisage"
Birthday ice cube (1,880,000 entries) highlighted a party game to play with the nurses on the ward...all you need is a small paddling pool (or bucket?) and 20 ice cubes...
"Say go! and throw 20 large ice cubes in and see who can take the most ice cubes out using only their feet in the designated time period"
Birthday mucus (tricky one I know but it still found 277,000 entries!) and yielded this treasure...
"Our glow in the dark Alien Space Mucus is a bit stranger than your garden variety human mucus. Our Alien Space Mucus can bounce, stretch, and splat for endless gooey fun."
and finally Birthday Gargling a measely 147,000 entries showed how to have a great birtday...
"Press Conference on the Occasion of Her Imperial Highness Princess ...... on the Occasion of Her Imperial Highness Princess Sayako's Birthday (2004) ... as washing my hands thoroughly or gargling after handling wild birds. ..."
Sleep tight... and happy snoring!
Big Love

An extra special thought and longish distance big hug (gently for now) from all of us up here Mo - and thanks for the literature. How about one in the style of Spike Milligan (or maybe that was?), or Pam Ayres?
No maybe not.
Sleep tight - loads of love.
M & Co.

Just to say thanks to you ALL out there from me for making today so special for Moira, exhausting, but a great day.
Thanks,
Russell.
You are a wonderful man! A role model(or boden model?) for husbands everywhere! As a family you have been through the mangle,You stepped up to the plate and I think you are GREAT. When the world sees you in your knitted superhero Dad pant's it will be in awe!!!!! From now on I will think of you as RED BULL MAN
Hey Mo hope you tasted my virtual toast of Cloudy Bay on your birthday. could not get near a phone for the 5pm hook up here but still was there with you. Love you lots and am willing those cells on. Heres to greater multiplication, all my love Fee xxxxxxxxx

Just realised how bloody scary it is that you write this well when you're so terribly ill.
Christ, Moira.
The publishers await...
Happy Birthday wishes one day late. Chloe had written a big Happy Birthday to you on our wipe board yesterday but I was having problems getting on-line. The boabs must have made the building phone lines wet again...nothing a day without additional water and some nice warm temps can't sort. So, here we are...the best happy birthday wishes from all of us.
Off to Vienna tomorrow. Will see Karen tomorrow night and then she heads off to see you. I hope you will have a nice visit. I'll be thinking of you. Love, J x
Hello my "let's go jump in the lake" buddy:
Didn't want to ruin any surprises-----but I was doing my virtual hug, although i'm sure I didn't get the time right.Let's not forget, I am a day behind you in the U.K.
My birthday card is going to be late (what's new), but I was thinking of you and as always, looking at the picture of us at Big Lake before we took the plunge! Now there's some water for you!
Love,
Celeste

Happy Birthday Moira! So disappointed not to see you last weekend but I understood that you needed to take care of yourself. Estelle & I toasted you that evening so I hope you felt it!
You're doing the big bit now. You're turning a corner. Keep going!
Birthday hugs

Hope you had a good birthday and that those stem cells are doing their thing exactly as they should.
Moira, I am missing your blogs. I wish I could send you a poem like everyone else but I just can't. Trev has gone to Dubai for the week with Russell and Charlie is off on a school trip in Norfolk for a few days so Jenny and I are going to have a girly time, it is a shame we have to go to school/work as well!
Hope the cell count is going the right way. How are the ice cubes? Thinking of you lots and sending hugs over the web. Love Just XXXXXXXXXXXX
Darling Moira,
Kerr and I are of to Sedona in AZ and they tell me it is a spiritual vortex and has all sorts of mystic power! While in this healing place We will find a good spot among the red rocks and have a good think about you. From Friday expect to feel the force ooooooooooooommmmmmmmm
love and hot stone massage ready
Liz
this is just a try
Hurrah, it is finally letting me send a message to you. I have had so much trouble getting through just recently, nothing but bother. I didn't miss the hug, at least I don't think so. Were you just meant to send a metaphorical hug at the alotted time? That is what I did. I could feel the earth move for you Moira so that must have been everbody else. Have sent you a present to cherish, I hope Russell will take it into the hospital for you it wasn't cheap! It is winging its way as we speak, all love and kisses as ever Carry xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
