    Very glad to hear things are looking up a bit for you and that you've regained control of your own life/home.
    You are funny with your auctions and vast amounts of random things that you just know you can sell.

    Happy Easter Emma.    And yes, when you see what sadly happened to your sister's friend you can judge for yourself how far you have come on a different positive path.
    Enjoy the spirit of Easter and renewal and keep up the good work.  It,s good you're  enjoying the freedom and serenity of your own house again.

    I think nice garden get togethers this summer will be the way to go for many people given the current uncertainty so a good idea to focus on creating a nice environment at low cost.   Would a cheap gazebo make the environment more flexible if you could locate one?

    Hope the tests rule out anything serious next week. What a worry for you all.

    Oh dear Emma that definitely is a s##t day.
    It’s really good that the hospital are being thorough. Bear in mind many of us can be prone to catastrophizing and assuming the worst possible outcome. We have the most fantastic Healthcare in this country.
    Easier said than done of course but try not to assume worst case scenario. My daughter is similar age so I get your anxiety. Although they can be cheeky little so and sos who think they know everything they mean the world to us. 
    Keeping everything crossed for you

    Try not to worry before you've had a chance to speak to the consultant.

    And adding my best wishes, it is far better to do the tests and know what is happening. Being inside the system means they can treat whatever it is. Better than ignoring it

    Emma. Wednesday will come soon enough and hopefully further tests will allay your anxiety.  It is the state of "uncertainty and not knowing" which destroys our serenity and our ability to enjoy and cope with the present.
    Try and have three days of calm with your daughter if you can so she doesn,t feed on your anxiety.
    You have had a quick response so the hospital are being thorough in their checks.  We all hope your anxieties will be proved unfounded.
