    Me too. Taxi, it took me a year to get back to normal after two day operations - you've had to endure an infinite amount more! Month after month, year after year, compared to my two days. I honestly think it takes a while to come back from that - I don't think you need interventions, I think you need good nutrition and lots of sleep, to build your body up again. **hugs**

    Hi Taxi - I would think what you're going through is normal. I wouldn't worry about doing nothing for a few days - you're entitled to it with all you've been through! Hope you're back on the up soon and good luck with the CT scan.

    Hi Taxi,

    Sorry you're feeling down at the moment. I've started bursting into tears at the drop of a hat. Fridge repair man is coming this afternoon, doubtless he'll be cried on too :o

    Everyone is telling me it's normal and we've been through the mill, somehow doesn't help me much though. I just want this to finish now and have my life back.

    Hope seeing JJ makes you smile a little.

    xx

    Hello Taxi,

    I think awful as it is this is your body saying give it a rest. Frustrating and depressing I would think.

    I mean even if people have the flu and go out a few days after they have a day of extreme tiredness. Your body has worked so hard to get better and continues to work to keep you better.

    would watching films be any good?

    Just keep warm and remember lots of people love you and you are getting better

    Love Buffy xx

    Hi Taxi - both you and kissjen are going through the same feelings that Mr SA is currently experiencing. Although he's quite a way behind you two having only recently been diagnosed. He gets very tearful too (and men aren't supposed to cry!). All you really want is to get your life back as kissjen says.

    Look after yourself and keep plodding on. Good luck for tomorrow. Virtual hug from me!
