    I'm back home again - too late to send support to Cherw but I'll send my thoughts to her now & hope she's back home again :0

    Prudent, what an awful day - diem horribilus! They can rebuild the classroom, you didn't mention anyone was hurt so take some solace from that. The ponies will hopefully be better off now & I really hope your favourite cat was just off visiting a neighbour & will be back quick smart for food later.

    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    OK just through the rush of catching up with todays comps as I was out at the Doctors today about my arm.

    I'm signed off again until 4th December when it will be reassessed. So expect to see me around quite a bit until then & in varying states of guilt & elation! (Guilt at not being at work & others having to cover my job - elation at being home, spending time with the BF & comping!)

    I do have a physio appointment for Friday lunchtime though so hopefully will be able to make some forward steps in getting it working properly again! :)

    hey all

    im back online, yesterday was utterly horrible - the mri scan didnt go too well, i ended up pressing the panic button half way through because i had an anxiety attack cos of the claustrophobia - i admire anyone who can stop in those machines, !!!! me.

    thanks for your nice messages xx

  • Aww, I'll send some soothing vibes now *soothing vibes*. At least the appointment's over now, which I'm guessing is better than the way you were feeling beforehand. :)

    Cherw - the machines are horribible. I had a scan several years ago and felt quite panicky.

    To those who have asked about the cat - she has thankfully returned. Today has been much better than yesterday.

    Velvet Glove - hope you get lots of prizes in return for all the time you put in when you are off. :)
