Let’s not to forget to mention yesterday afternoon when laying down on my bed, I heard manic lady in the next room jumping on her bed for 15 minutes. Eventually she exhausted herself and after panting very loudly from her efforts she let out a sigh.

High observation is normally a grand place to recover in and the staff are lovely. Unfortunately for the rest of us, our sleep has been broken several times tonight by a schizophrenic lady with outbursts of violence and screaming!

Thankyou everyone,

Yes, I am going to talk to my gp tomorrow (Friday) and I went for a swim at my local pool earlier today.

It’s a completely different thing posting it out…[Read more]

I spoke to the Samaritans last night, I have a gp apt this Friday and phoned work and got 2 weeks off, too. I am ok for a double buggy now, I was just saying how impossible things were around the twins time of birth.

Fortunately I have only another 8 weeks left of my work contract so I am trying to make it through till then.…[Read more]

Thanks for bothering to read and reply. I feel a bit tearful and guilty even as I write this but I felt I could not continue any…[Read more]
