I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

I did go to the doctor @utopia @Kurra .. wasn't usual one that barely have seen anyway. Got so caught up in stuff forgot to ask re counselling, well it wasnt quite a total 'bust' ..but think may have to take self for a drive to perth soon to see old doctor, not getting anywhere with these ones ..I supplied paperwork ie results from stuff, offered phone numbers, he just looked at me said to get details I supplied copied to put on file on my way out. anyway was back related stuff i was trying to put him in the picture with as it has flared up again, anyway feeling like a crock not helping me in general etc.

Thank you for the thoughtful response and feedback @Faith-and-Hope I wouldn't want to be any other way either 💕 Self preserveration is important where it doesn't cross the boundaries of hurting others. Are you still travelling? How is it going?

Thanks @utopia and @Former-Member. I am alone for the next 2 nights. @Former-Member I had a traumatic delivery of him at 22weeks. My other child survived when delivered at 26 weeks. I called my son Huon and had to leave him at the hospital. One more week and I would have had to register his birth and death.

@Kurra how did the surgery go last Monday? Did everything get sorted at work to your satisfaction?
