That's okay @outlander people need to do what they are comfortable with
I am usually pretty busy on Fridays and that will start soon - I got up earlier this morning so I would have some time to catch up here
I guess I can be two different people - I have a sad side as well - though it's in the past - but yeah - it does catch up with me at times
I will post about being at my doctor later - it's not until 4.00pm
All the best today
Dec

LOL @outlander I don't mean the TV show I mean a classic text book. It's Gray's (with an a) Anatomy.
How's your day going? Did you end up getting to the Dr?
I'll be off-line all weekend from this afternoon so if I miss you I'll see you Sunday night probably.

I got MRSI (multi resistent Staph infection) in hospital - from my emergency bowel surgeries. Nasty.
So I can really relate to several people here saying that they've had nasty infections.
The Staph infec knocked me badly - & made my recovery from life-threatening surgeries take months longer.
Complex PTSD is an on-going struggle (for me too), as several people have mentioned.
I'm keeping you all in my thoughts.

As well as I can I think. Thanks @outlander.
My stomach (& insides) have never been the same since - cut 3 times (30cm cut) down the middle, 3 surgeries in total. Permanent pudge in tummy.
They saved my life, & I'm thankful for that. Unfortunately things never entirely go back to normal, after having bowels disconnected (with a stoma & bag) for 6 months.
We'll get there.
