Marina

Some of you are aware that Marina has not been well for some months now.
Owen has asked me to post an update on here for those who know her.

Marina has cancer, which has spread to several vital organs, and is now
terminal. She has been moved to a hospice. Owen has taken a leave of
absence from work, and is with her most of every day. Between the cancer
and the increasing doses of pain meds, she is easily tired and easily
confused, but still has periods of lucidity. She's really not up to
visitors apart from immediate family, however.

If anyone wishes to send her a message, please send it to Owen at

pericles at ntlworld dot com

and he'll read them to her as the opportunity presents itself.

 

Oh FFS, the poor wee thing.

Why does life have be such a **** so fucking often?

 

I wasn't aware, but then I haven't been around here very much.

Thanks for letting me (and others) know.

Oh, for ****'s sake, that's a bit inconvenient.
I have a black pill she can have.

Shit, not much point in a GWS, then.

Will do.

****. I don't know what to say. I only met her twice, briefly (with
Owen, naturally - what a singular character, and a fine chap) at the
Black Horse in years gone by. Good people both, humanity at it's
finest. Life really isn't fair.

 

That truly sucks.
Shit stuff happening to good people.

 

Ah. Not good news. Thanks. Poor Marina. Why is it always the ones you
don't want to get cancer who always do, while the true buggers seem hale
& hearty?

 

Ah crap, hadn't seen either of them for a while, that just sucks big
time.

It wasn't in our feed, either. I think I saw one post from SD
the other day and thought, "Blimey, he hasn't posted in a while." -- maybe
it was a followup.

Hell's teeth that's not nice. Poor Marina.

 

Because I had second thoughts about the content.

 

Bugger, never met her but having had a friend go down that route I
know it's a right bastard.

Oh, damn.

Damn.

 

sufficient claret intake?

 

Prime of health?

Between the, you're talking about diabetes, heart attacks, strokes,
wonky eyes, mental illness and a chick-with-a-dick.

If that's your idea of the prime of health, seek medical help now.

 

What a bastard.

Will do just that.
