Morning all. What a lot to catch up on.
Topsy, ouch about skin. I had that happen too with scar until nurses used wet silver dressings with pad on top, then adhesive plaster on top of that. It eventually healed although the skin is wafery thin and delicate so I still use a wad of gauze dressing between bra and skin. Loved DS's drawing. Talented lad.
Great news about your scan, Lime. What a huge relief. Now to get your neck sorted.
Gracie, my dear mum passed away 3 days before my diagnosis and of course both events left me reeling. I still feel, over a year and a half later, that I haven't grieved properly so don't be surprised at how you're feeling - just go with the flow, as they say and be prepared for those days when you're feeling sad. Hope the Movicol has the desired effect soon - I bet you don't get up to the 7 a day. I find it works after about 3 or 4 a day.
Gig, glad you're home with your littlies. Hope you're taking things easy.
KK, sorry to see you're still suffering with the shinglythings. I hope they bugger off soon.
Having a quiet day in to recover from school trip yesterday. We went to the seafront, walked along the pier (train back) then to the sealife centre. It was blowing a gale and I still have sand in my mouth despite trying to flush it down with 
last night. 
Waves to Smee, MAS, Basket, Sometimes, Ned, JChoc and everyone else. Love to you all.
