My husband went for a blood test on Monday, he had a slight fall in the morning as his back was giving him such pain that he was collapsing as he walked. His consultant refused to let him go home as he couldn't walk, so he was put in a wheel chair and there he stayed until about 6.

I noticed the other day, someone asked to join and when I looked at their profile, there...
I have taken a drive down Paranoia Street and found a nice big parking space on Nervous Avenue, results from my lumpectomy are due tomorrow and I can feel that horrible dread I felt last week waiting for the biopsy results. It hasnt helped that I saw a few of my notes on computer screen and one subject was do not delay diagnosis (what is that all about) but that note wa made before I had my op so trying not to run too far up neurosis road with that one.
Thought it would be a good idea to try and...
