hello MissPiggy - I'm sorry to hear that your DH is having problems at the moment. But he is doing the right thing getting it investigated, I know its very worrying for you both, especially with you losing your Mum, but fingers crossed it will be nothing sinister - there's a good chance of that. And if it does turn out to be something that needs further treatment, BC is very treatable and treatment are advancing at quite a rate. I was DX years ago, and things have changed and improved quite a bit since I had my treatment.
The worse thing is the waiting game when it comes to tests and so on, once you know where you stand and what needs to be done, it gets a bit easier to get your head round it all.
Anyway stick with us, and hopefully we can give you a bit of support (and of course your DH is very welcome to come on here if he wants to ask any questions, or just talk through his worries 
)
Ned well done for surviving the MIL - its a shame she is unpleasant and hard work, - makes life a bit stressful.
The chocolates sound lovely and I'm sure they'll be appreciated by the nurses
Smee - that cove is fab, - I'd love to live somewhere like that, - I'd wear shorts all year round and eat seaweed and be a total hermit 
Sparkle - I'm glad DS was able to enjoy the museum, and how very mature of him to cope with using the wheelchair, he is such a trooper. My DD's best friend has the same syndrome that your DS has (I think it is the same at least - EDS is what she has), and she is contemplating a wheelchair, atm she copes on crutches but is in a lot of pain. I am full of admiration for your little lad and you having to deal with it, its very tough 
Good luck to T for his exam MAS, poor chap must be exhausted, but I expect adrenaline will get him through the exam then he can fall asleep as soon as he gets home!
Saw a nasty cycle accident on the way in to yoga this morning, - DH and I stopped to help, and had to wait for the police and paramedics because we'd witnessed the accident. Luckily the young lad wasn't too badly hurt, just bruised and very shaken, and had hurt his knee.
Fortunately I had my yoga blanket in the car, so I damaged his street cred by wrapping a bright pink fleecy blanket round him. And I told him off for not having helmet - he probably wished it had been anyone rather than me that stopped!
