    When it spirals it spirals. Problem is I can't do what I need to to get back under control (presuming hemiplegic migraine and not stroke)

    It was the going on about brain damage that freaked me out.

    Back to not showering cos I don't trust my left leg to hear my weight.

    Had to lie down so he could test my legs, was dizzy when I sat up. Don't think he liked that either.
    I hope the tests come back with better news

    They may just have mentioned brain damage as a worst case scenario thing, not necessarily meaning its likely to be that? Hopefully its just procedure to rule that out.

    ((((hugs))))

    I've got a suggestion for WaS's Greek letter, too. (Wanted to put it earlier but ran out of time.) But I won't be in the least offended if you'd rather be an alpha or a lamb!

    I thought an epsilon (I'll let Pyxis find a piccy) because it is used so often in maths - and in Excel! - for a sum, and you are the sum of all that is good in this thread, and hold us all together :) xxx

    This is an epsilon.....

    Last day at work for the week, come on, I can do this!
    Got a few more movements from baby last night so feeling a bit happier.
    11 weeks is still a long time to wait and worry about meeting her though.

    Hope everyone has a good day and those that can enjoy the sunshine

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    It's 8am and I have just discovered I am sharing a house with a small child and a violin. I have mentioned the UN convention on torture, to no avail.
    And I've just cleaned my teeth with E45 cream.

    On the positive side, things can only get better.
    Have a good weekend, all.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Have you ever heard of the phrase "it makes my teeth itch"? Well subconsciously, because of the sound of a screeching violin, you reached for the E45 cream! Did it work? Is the violin less annoying? :rotfl:

    Be grateful it isn't an oboe! Have you ever heard a beginner oboist? :D

    Who is the small child? Do you have a house share, or it is a small relative?
