    nursemaggie I'm so very sorry to hear your news ((HUGS)) That's really rotten, especially when you were so pleased to be able to stop taking the tablets.

    Softstuff Glad you're getting good and prompt care xx

    Hester I'm another one who couldn't access your blog. It says it doesn't exist but that the name is "available to register"!

    Maggie, you must know how much loved you are by the folk on here. Your news is a bitter blow. Keep taking the tablets and keep telling us how you are feeling, that's what we are here for.

    Anyone who can't access Hester's blog - try googling 'Hardup Hesters blog' then 'Bloggers Profile' or something like that, then 'Hardup Hester' and if my tablet turns Hester into Nested once more I will throw it out of the window.

    Nurse Maggie sending much love from here, its a bu**er isn't it!

    Softstuff glad you are not one for waiting, much better to sort it out right away.

    Things very boring here with very little money and its testing my MSE ways to the core. Just filled in a survey about benefits and managed to get some of my temper out with some scathing comments. I watched 'I Daniel Blake ' last night on the lappy and hubby found me sobbing. He told me to switch it off but I had to watch to the end. So many things were like Deja Vu.

    So I am pulling up my big girl pants and getting on with it.

    Dgs is now at his special autism school and blossoming. In fact the child is unfurling like a flag since the first day. Its a whole new world, if you want to lie in a muddy puddle and see what happens, you can - they just change your clothes and wash the dirty ones ready for home time. You choose what work you want to do and do it, boy does he do it! The staff have fallen in love with him and have commented on his amazing sense of humour - way neyond a 6 year old.

    I found out last night that his Mummy and Daddy are renting a swimming pool for his birthday but its family only so I get to swim which I love. We are all taking food to share. Its a perfect party for him, all the things and people he loves.

    That sounds brilliant for him ginnyknit - as does his new school :T

    Hester I've just been looking at the pics of your narrowboat, so lovely :happyhear Thank you monnagran for the help in finding Hester's blog again!
  • Softstuff - so what happens now re the lump?

    Yep...your description of where it is sounds like exactly the same place as mine was pretty much.

    Did the subject come up as to whether its a lipoma or no? Don't know how common they are. If that is what it is - then I know my own doctor instantly told me that was what my lump was (followed by saying he had no idea how big it would get if left).
