and this is exactly why we have a Macintosh!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
you do know you all sound like a right bunch of nerds!
I'm annoyed, it's started raining here..... i'm running tonight, and unlike mad squizzers, i don't like running in the rain.... it's not so bad if it starts when you're out cause you have no choice... but starting off in the rain is pants.....
I hate to be a clipe, but squizzicles did 5.5miles at the weekend!!! she "forgot" to tell everyone! Well done babes!I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
Oooo Toto that is rubbish news
Is it at all worth getting a second opinion? You'd be AMAZED what stuff they are doing with orthopaedics these days (although wrists is always a tough area as not many peepos go into it and they tend to do hands and feet and get loads more foot exp.)
Sorry for you anyway...and if you want me to find out about other ortho surgeons I'm sure I can ask someone here (I have a whole office of them)

oh Toto, that is awful (and on top of everything else as well
)
Yes, you should be proud of the fact you got a place on the Ph.D course.
Ideas for something else......teaching music? Music therapist perhaps (I've always fancied that) or maybe something with children with learning difficulties and disabilities?"Stay Wonky":D

Hve you had any thoughts about what you might like to do?
EDIT: I like BB's suggestions above, it's like passing the baton onto the next generation!
