Hi! Lovely to see you! Well, I have recovered from my Twitter addiction so I will continue to be relatively quiet.

Sorry - didn't mean to blurt all that out! Am glad your daughter has settled into secondary school!

Your fam is North Island, yeah? Paul has been back to DN recently as his Mum moved into hospital care. It was hard for him since she's really slipping now. See your family while you can. xx

Still being weird.

Thirtieth next year! Paul wants to travel more.

She's not out of pain yet. The extent of it was extraordinary. It was on her bladder, kidneys, bowel, sciatic nerve and her pouch of Douglas was "obliterated", to quote. She had to take a year leave without pay. But it's a huge relief that she's no longer in a wheelchair.

Well, my youngest had her insides bonded together with endometriosis and nobody took it seriously until she was in such pain she couldn't walk, but she's had it all scraped off now and is a lot improved. Not totally, since it was very extensive, but somewhat better.

Damn

Look that can only be for the best. I am convinced it was a dreadful idea.

I wish! I had a tree full of royal Gala apples until the Cox's Orange pippin next to it died FM a fungal disease, andy daughter decided the gala had it too, and decided to top it back a lot :( no persimmons this year either.

I've only got five as yet. The rest are coming, lol!

Oh and endo is the worst. One of my son's curses that lifted with transition was endo.

Thanks Marcus. Really do hope we get answers soon.

We've been to emergency 3 times since Dec3 and a good GP twice, two ultrasounds and CT. Waiting on gastroenterology now. She had an ovarian cyst which was a red herring. It's been hideous.
