Take ear pain seriously. Mine started the day I got back from holiday in Spain last August. Had swum in sea, and dived to bottom of pool playing with great=grandson. Five different antibiotics from GP did nothing, and as I was booked for a four-hour flight to Turkey with friends in September to a villa with pool, I consulted a specialist privately. The holiday was off; they went without me...., a suitable antibiotic was found, One more ineffective antibiotic, then sent to hospital for intra-venous injection of a more powerful one. Immediately passed out! By this time severe pain had spread all around the back of my ear and into the jaw-bone: necrotising otitis. This infects the skullbone and can prove fatal if the infection gets into the brain. (My specialist only told me this later, when he discharged me.) I was in hospital nine days, and my hearing is still affected. I am very careful now not to let water into my ears, and was prescribed ear-plugs. I'm trying Turkey again soon, and will be a lot more careful.

Missed it on TV, so here's hoping....

Very efficient aid for best food preparation.

Would let us use the conservatory in winter.

Just had to cancel a week in Rhodes, due to hospital op, Croatia would certainly help me recouperate.

Had a one day visit from a cruise ship many years ago. Would love to stay a bit longer.

Would get me out and about again.

Lovely area, what's not to enjoy - scenery, people, food, wine, all with a specialist company.

Several hours every day I sit with my daughter who is confined to bed with MS that she's had for 33 years. I myself have arthritis in my hip, knees and back, so this chair would be a boon. It matches the decor of her room,too!

It is cruel and bullying to condemn people in pain to continue enduring it for a principle. Life can be unendurable for some, not necessarily terminally ill, or with a short life-span prognosis. People should have a choice, without having to travel abroad, and many do not have the family or finances to make this possible. It is not forcing one's choice onto others who may prefer palliative care, or rely on their faith, and the law would surely protect vulnerable people from feeling obliged to save their families, or a hospice or the NHS the trouble and cost of caring for them. You only have to look at the desperate actions taken by Debbie Purdy to end her life within the law. It was distressing for her, her husband, and all those who cared for her. I don't know if I would have her courage and determination if i were in her position.

Comfort, quality and style - what more could you want? Never wear any others.
