Thank you Kimmy. Youur suggestion is a really good one and I will use it. I know that getting the hosptial to agree to do an assessment on me made a huge and immediate impact on how I felt. It also helps to know that you have similar experiences in terms of maintaining well for periods of time.
Two hours to go now. I got up at the usual time because yesterday my younger daughter (who has been unwell) said she felt well enough to return to school and really wanted to. But when she started getting up she felt poorly again. Grrr. I could have had an extra hour - or two - in bed!
