It is over a year since I wrote in here, which isn't to say I've not been continuing my efforts -- just not recorded them.
Just now I am feeling very scared and shakey. CT scan results due tomorrow and my tried and tested coping strategies seem to have left the building.
If it is bad news I will have to pull them back in and put them to use. Meanwhile I have been trying to stay calm.
Breathing.
A great thing!
