    Thanks all.

    Spent 7 hours in A&E on Saturday as I could hardly move and was in tremendous pain. Turns out it was both muscle damage from the accident and my gallbladder playing up again at the same time. I don’t do things by halves do I?! They sent me home with codeine, antibiotics and an appointment to go back this morning at 10.30am. When I turned up I was told my appointment was actually 12 noon :mad:. Almost passed out while waiting, so was given anti sickness meds and have come home with diclofenic and the promise of yet another outpatient appointment for more gallbladder investigations. Tonight is the first time my pain has felt manageable since Thursday so fingers crossed.

    The accident happened at the same time that the 3 network was down, so I was unable to use my phone to call for help, or search online for my insurance details. Made a complaint to them this afternoon and they are giving me £10 as a gesture of goodwill. Xx

    I'm really sorry about the accident as you could do without the extra expense. Will you be able to afford to pay the £500?

    Sorry you've been in hospital too. My sister had to have her gall bladder removed and so I know how painful gallbladder problems can be.

    I hope things look up for you soon.

    Hi all, Happy November :eek:.

    Sorry I haven’t been posting much. My back is finally better :T, and it’s been half term for us this week, along with MiL’s birthday and Halloween, so full of busy. Car is fixed and MiL helped us pay the bill :A.

    DH found a soggy £20 note in a puddle :j so that was lovingly dried and given a new home :D.

    I’ve lost 10lbs in 3 weeks :T:T.

    And probably loads more of things, but I can’t remember :rotfl:

    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
