Hi Teri a very warm welcome to you and Derek...so glad you found us look forward to hearing more from you . Take care both, Love Tina xx

Your replies are up now, just read them....lets hope some educating has been done !

Hi Angela....i am sure as Jess has said that if they were the slightest bit worried they would have called you in or would certainly get you back earlier to check on it. I do feel for you, what a worry and as you say you just want some reassurance that all is ok. If it was me, i would give your Consultant a call and ask him to talk you through it again to reassure you. Sending you hugs....take care love Tina xx

Hi Maddie a very warm welcome to BTG... As the others have already said....listen to your body and rest up lots when you feel tired. Glad you found us, i know i would not be where i am today without all my friends on here. Look forward to hearing more from you. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Lynn a very warm welcome to BTG Very early days for your Sister, i was clipped so slighty different, but needed lots of sleep, and did so for some months. Wishing your Sister a speedy recovery, take care love Tina xx

Hi Stace a very warm welcome to BTG. So very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I hope you find comfort and support here....BTG has been a God send to me. Take care love Tina xx

Hi my emotions were all over the place....but i was more tearful and frustrated at myself. I was not snappy, but then i never have been. Kel is right....i think we all experiance a range of enhanced emotions. I did go through a phase where i just shut everyone out....did not want to talk or see anyone....so unlike me. If you need to blast or snap....do it on here we are here for you and understand...take care xx

Hi Sonia welcome back wishing you well with your recovery....take care and rest up...love Tina xx Debbie...try not to worry...its very early days for you. Good luck for your scan in October...hope you get reassurance all is ok...love Tina xx

Hi Marilyn a very warm welcome to BTG I agree with the others, I think we have all been where your Mum is and can empathise with what she is going through. So hard for all of you. Counselling certainly helped me....there was a long waiting list....but was worth it. My GP arranged it all. I am 2 years and 9 months down the line now and still get anxious sometimes and frustrated....but it does get better. Hopefully your Mum will soon feel up to coming on here, BTG has been a God send to me. Wishing you all well...take care Love Tina xx
