HUGS Nikki....brain tumours are not pleasant, and a faster passing is often the kindest. My mum is a death and dying specialist - as morbid as that sounds, and Ive learnt from her ways of coping and understanding peoples passing...but it still doesnt make it easy.

Im sure he is somewhere that he no longer feels pain.]]> Tue, 20 Feb 2007 07:23:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=111487&title=depressing-day#111487 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=111472&title=depressing-day#111472 Author: kezplanet

Right... just found out Kas died today.

When I got up there it was too late to go and see him as he had got so bad that he was pretty much confined to bed and seeing people took it out of him too much (he's not the type to lie still and let others do the talking!).

So I took a lasagne to his family and had a good chat to them. But yeah... today he stopped fighting it. Which is good in many ways as he was in a whole lotta pain and was being "himself" less and less. Now his family can get on with their grieving and out of the waiting game.

So yeah, am trying to figure out how the heck I am going to get back to Rotorua!!]]> Mon, 19 Feb 2007 21:09:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=111406&title=depressing-day#111406 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=105066&title=depressing-day#105066 Author: AlyAyde

Is it just me or do sucky things happen to really nice people?

I thought so Nah, the truth is I feel a bit of a crap friend. But then with him... there is no way in hell you can do anything more than just be there when he decides to show up! hehe He's the most random person I have ever met in my life... as in, actively tries to be as mysterious as possible. Strange man.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to going back now. I've heard from a couple of people that I should get my ass up there sooner rather than later... so it sounds serious. But what I think they mean is go and see him while he isn't stuck in bed - and I think he has realised this too so is trying to catch up with a lot of people.

Thanks for letting me talk about it here guys! I tried telling my sister and all she could do was compare Kas's facial paralysis to something her friend had a few years ago - which while both have similar symptoms - his was because they had to operate on his brain whereas her friend's paralysis was temporary.

Oh Nikki I'm so sorry for you and especially your friend.
One thing that always wakes me up when I'm feeling sorry for myself is reminding myself that there are plenty of people living through worse. Thats very real for you at the moment huh?
Good on you for being such a supportive friend, I hope you're feeling a little brighter now and that you have a really special visit next weekend.]]> Thu, 25 Jan 2007 22:41:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=104235&title=depressing-day#104235 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=104228&title=depressing-day#104228 Author: sparkle

Chin up love! Sounds as though you are a good friend to him, probably what he needs, and a visit will probably cheer you both up ]]> Thu, 25 Jan 2007 22:01:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=104228&title=depressing-day#104228 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=104224&title=depressing-day#104224 Author: nikkitheknitter

I'm stoney heart the first usually... but I'm crying for the first time in ages. (So I've hidden in my room so flatties can't see and am whinging to you ladies instead!)

My friend had a brain tumour a couple of years ago (I think I've mentioned him before). They removed it, it grew back, then they removed it again and thankfully it didn't grow back (well, straight away).

Since then he has given up uni, been travelling around the world, and has just come back to the Mount to live with his mum as he started throwing up and getting bad migraines when he was working in Melbourne.

They found two tumours, one in the same place as the first and another on the side that is inoperable. So the docs removed as much of the first one as they could but couldn't touch the second. And now half his face is paralysed. His whole side was paralysed, but thankfully he can walk again.

It's just not fair. Especially when I consider what else I've been sad about today... how sucky men are and how I'm never going to find one. It just seems so shallow compared to what he is going through and then I feel bad for thinking it in the first place.

So yeah... just had to be depressed here because I can't anywhere else.

I'm going home next weekend though and will go visit him with Hannah. ]]> Thu, 25 Jan 2007 21:50:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5401&PID=104224&title=depressing-day#104224
