Great coffee though, before #CovidBooster 💉@HSELive

Sending hugs 🤗 so true - sometimes it is more difficult to support family through the palliative process, than being the patient busy dealing with Treatments, Hospital & Doctor activities plus the EXTRA effort to do ‘normal’ stuff while we can 🥹#NotDeadYet #PalliativeCare

[Hylc @hyic_sol]

There is so much that happens to cancer patients that we doctors don't ever see. We can empathize, imagine what it's like but we have no idea until we experience something like the following:

This morning I was having a conversation with my husband over breakfast. He's been having a lot of anxiety since my diagnosis, as you might expect.

I spent the morning trying to reassure my husband that he will be okay after my death. We talked about grief, anticipatory grief and finding a way to hold on to hope which means having faith that as bad as something is in the moment, the future holds beautiful possibilities. I said, 20 years ago before we were married, you couldn't have imagined you would have the life we have now. So, even though you can't see it now, you have no idea what your life will be in 20 years. Maintaining this hope is usually a conscious choice that often requires a lot of effort. But without it, we are nothing. Without it, my husband can sink into a dark oblivion which is something that frightens me. Even worse, that I won't be there to be able to help him through it. Instead, all I can do is plant these little seeds in his mind and hope he remembers conversations like this one.

I've been asked to do an inservice for NPs that make home palliative care visits. The topic was, what is the difference between specialty palliative care and say traditional medicine. The difference is, that only palliative care serves to help patients with issues like what I just experienced. Existential suffering with severe illness runs deep. Deeper than I ever could have imagined before I became a patient myself. I thought I knew, I acknowledged it was present, but I had NO idea.

Not wishing anyone an injury but IF necessary, I recommend the #MercyUrgentCare in Cork (thanks #Eimear) @Mercycork @CUH_Cork @HSELive - https://t.co/4mePhkO2YT Great for the walking/limping injured who don’t need Major ED Trauma care. Check in, triage, X-ray, splint = 2hr😷

[Ursula @tweet_ursula]

In a world of doom, gloom, chaos & worse - this has done my heart & soul more good than meds. @IrishRail should have you as their ‘social listener’ - so much nicer than intrusive TikTak & InstaSnap clips #thanks @gardenngather

[Margaret Leahy @gardenngather]

Many of you want to know what happened next but I feel I witnessed something lovely and I don't need to know how it ended as I and all of you can write our own ending. I'm conscious their children don't know they are online dating so I respect their privacy❤️

@talktoBOI @bankofireland The clue was in the first line of my DM at 11.25 this morning - clearly stating that I had already tried the 0818 process 😶 Thank you for the link to the form.

[Ursula @tweet_ursula]

@bankofireland @talktoBOI I have wasted 6 hours of what’s left of my life trying to sort out problems with your app - from the endless pressxxxx on your ‘customer service’ helpline to your DMs telling me to do what I had already done 😡 When will it be sorted???

@TheRepairShop #Reveals on this @BBCOne show are amazing but why don’t they give indicative costs of the #makeover as on @ChangingRooms @E4bodyfixers @wheelerdealers #etc to help decide if a battered item is junk or worth repairing - A lollipop stick could look good after 10k of #TLC …. 🤔
