Kate Garraway is burying her beloved husband today .
So sad 😞
I can't fathom the nasty comments she gets .
Caring isn't a competition, the pain of seeing your loved one deteriorate isn't eased by having a bigger house .
I admire her raising awareness for long covid .
Sad 😔

This lovely woman walked at 9pm at night through a well lit part of clapham .she did nothing wrong by doing this .She should be able to do this .NO one is saying all men absolutely NO one .
Perhaps listen to women's concerns and experiences and be an ally.
Being a carer .
It's an honor and a privilege most definitely BUT, you lose so much too.
Our careers .
Financial stability.
Friends .
Status .
I lost so much, including my confidence and now I'm going back to work and nervous.
When folk say being a carer is easy .
Think again!
@autcareandshare
Great idea .
In the Netherlands I've seen the store layout on the shopping trollies.
Thought that was great.
Available in braille too.
Had bloods done today at my GP'S .
Approached the desk to find a pt really having a go at the reception staff .
They looked upset and browbeaten .
I couldn't help myself!
I said very loudly you're doing a great job and thanked them for working hard and being so helpful.

Shout out to pharmacists !!!!
Great chat with the pharmacist attached to my GP practice about my pernicious anemia.
So well informed .
They work hard with very little recognition.
Just found these .
My dad was in the early stages of lewy body dementia.
He died two years later unable to walk,talk or feed himself.
I miss seeing him at his lovely house.
Looking back he hid so much from me as he knew I worried about him.
Hate dementia.
This was 6 years ago ,a family meal celebrating my dad's birthday. This was the first time I noticed something not right about my dad .He couldn't work out the menu and I ordered for him.I was terrified all night .Don't ignore warnings.
Small acts of kindness make people feel loved .I remember taking my dad to a cafe and he had soup but he struggled to feed himself and didn't want me to do it .The waitress popped it in a mug for him ,gave my dad a hug and winked at me .It helped my dad so much. BE KIND.
@challam19
Always liked him .
Sat next to him on the tube after a very difficult late shift on the wards .
Lovely man chatted to me and made me laugh .
He's as sick of this shit as we are .
I'm so proud of my son Ethan ,lovely comments from his teachers at parents evening and achieving A's and B's in his mocks .After all he's faced in the last year I think it's remarkable.

Utter rubbish.
You're a disgrace .
Don't we have enough crap to put up with without another women sticking the boot in too .
You make me sick .
Tomorrow we are burying my dad's ashes,covid put a stop to this .My pop ,my lovely dad who looked after us so well and really was the best man I've ever known.💜😭
Just back from Hosp ,had some chest pain and pain in left arm. Straight in ,one person in waiting room.All ok ,just need heart scan.Lovely medic said he hasn't seen anyone with covid for ages. This is good news .
Well done
@thismorning
someone finally talking about dental changes during menopause.
My own dentist has categorically said menopause has no impact on women's teeth .
It absolutely does.
@BBCNews
Some of these comments are sickening.
She's right this is a crisis and the world needs to act now .
She's also right about vaccinating every country.
All the folk commenting on her appearance or calling her spoilt ...what are YOU doing ?
there's a particular carer at my dads home that just gets it .
she knows when someone's ill,she knows if they need a nap or a hug or a laugh .She's ready to give 100 % and it shows .I'm grateful to her

Taking a much needed break from twitter .
Of late I've found it gut wrenching and toxic .
Truly horrible comments and hatred .
Have a great summer everyone.
❤️
It's very odd that folk think it's perfectly okay to joke about Dementia "oh I think I've got that" but wouldn't dream of saying the same about cancer !
We have alot of work to do 😉😉

@PhilSpencerTV
Something really weird about this, revelling in this kill is just so wrong .
Him and his covid denying sidekick are huge disappointments 😞
I'm going to bed tonight with a heavy heart. Hospitals and staff struggling ,many unwell and dying .Sending my love and thoughts to all that are struggling. Huge thanks to HCP that have worked so hard .
There's a young guy on tiktok that puts names of people that have died on his surfboard so they can be with him when he goes out to sea .
My pop Ron Smith went out with him today .
How lovely is that 😍
Happy mothers day to moms past and present .
My mom died 37 years ago .
I was young and never stopped missing her but it made me fiercely independent and resourceful.
Hooe you're all being spoilt rotten .🥰💓

My son and his mates have stuck to the rules,volunteered in local food banks and vaccine centres and they deserve to be praised. All 17 and not moaned once.
I've posted this before but thinking about my pop today .
We went out for lunch and he had soup and got it all over him .
Mid stage in his decline .
The lady in the cafe popped the soup in a mug for him and he managed well .
That kindness meant so much to me .
Folk were staring🥺
@DrAmirKhanGP
Something going on and it's very wrong .
More and more hate towards NHS staff when all they've done is work hard and do their best .
Makes me feel very uncomfortable that some high profile folk on twitter are feeding this too
