Read diary

Peeved solicitor and barrister and hubby could have cancer!!!

A page in the diary "She who must be obeyed thinks she is always right!!!"

Migraine, meds and sleep. Didn't hear hubby get up to go to a course on no smoking/weight loss. He came home and I got dressed and we went to our couples counsellor.

Had a long chat about the court case and read my hubby's MRI results and didn't really know what it meant because the results were not mentioned in the findings.

We went to the gp and he mentioned hubby could have cancer/took blood - that was where I left as I would have fainted at the sight of the blood. Asked hubby what he is doing, having more tests with a nuclear surgeon I think from reading the form for bone cancer. He has had a minor stroke as well.

Went to the shops and had some dinner. Coped with all the people and was proud I didn't have a panic attack.

I have pissed off my solicitor and my barrister I think thinks I'm a nut case and my reasons for making the offer were reasonable and there was no way that an application to withdraw the offer would be successful I think. Solicitor was all ready to write up the document but the barrister said no. Tell her that the offer is good or withdraw the offer - can't remember the words he used - remember now - lapse the offer so my solicitor has done that and I think we are still going to court.

Take Care All!!!

Oh Mrs Studying 1, I'm so sorry to read that your husband may have cancer. I hope it turns out to be a false alarm, I truly do. I've seen 2 shooting stars tonight so far and I wish on them, so next wish is for you and your hubby.

Try not to worry too much about the court case, I know its a major worry for you at the moment, but you need to take some time out from it occasionally, don't let it become your life.

Well done on not having a panic attack around a lot of people, I know how crippling they can be and not nice to have in public.

To quote a wonderful woman here on depnet:

"Go Mrs Studying 1"

Take care,

karen

hello,

It's scary that your hubby might have cancer, but hopefully the results show clear. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

You have been very brave so far and I'm sure whatever happens you and your husband will work and overcome it together. *hugs*

The cancer thing..wait a bit.
From what I can decipher your Barrister is prepared to continue on, whether to be paid or whether he/she believes you have a chance it is beyond me to know his/her motivation. The only offer you made was to accept their offer, then withdrew that, making your Solicitor look a total jerk is why she is pissed off! How can she accept that, then say no we don't without another legal avenue to go down? Also it is now unlikely she will ever be paid by you except at 5 dollars a week. Better hope this Barrister can pull a rabbit out of his arse.
You do not understand Legal Systems, so few people here do and a lot of Solicitors are getting rich on the back of our ignorance. This Barrister just has to have one go on your behalf and you owe thousands more.
I think it unlikely they will withdraw their offer but
they well might. It will all begin again if there is just no new information from your side...plus extra costs. Same costs you are already up for times 2, for same or less offer. Probably less or none at all, they know you have used all your resources so probably nothing offered. Expenses are so high because you kept communicating and every communication you have to pay for, you don't listen studying.
I had a television fall right on top of my head from 3 feet high whilst Nursing, they admitted liability as the tv was not secured at all and paid medical expenses, and though my brain was affected in order for a payout ones injury has to be a certain percent. Cant quantify brain injury so would not ever be paid. If I had died no one would have been paid as no dependants since my Daughter was married. Simple as that.
So apart from a civil suit where I would not have won despite commonsense and which I would have then had to pay for I had no option but to accept I am different now and do the best I can to have a life. Life is not America, not Current Affair...I wish you the best but if you have BPD you are stuffed as that is a pre existing condition, plus...you married recently, you are still succeeding in life so cannot prove otherwise.
Don't cross your fingers but open your ears and listen to what is being told to you, please!

Mrs Studying1

I am sorry to hear your new husband might have cancer... but i am also surprised at how callous you sound about it... you seem more worried about the money and the solicitor than the potential loss of your partner... maybe i am reading this diary wrong... but i am not sure you are at all concerned about Mr Studying1...

I am sad to write this... I hope I am wrong...

Hugs 'studying'
I pray your hubby does not have cancer as that would be very scary to face...I do not know much about the 'Law or Solicitors' but there seem to be so many members on here going through court cases...not sure if there are many honest people left in legal professions anymore...I hope all goes well for you.
