Glad the scan showed its just excessive cycling @Topofthecliffs and glad the sorting out things is going well.

Sorry about your broken ribs @GrannyGoggles Hope they can treat that quickly.

Hope respiratory specialist went OK @BatshitCrazyWoman

Jacuzzi bath arrived today and yesterday we prepared bathroom for it - mainly cleaning from DS, taking down old worktop and cutting it in pieces, and did gardening and clearing packaging today. Trying to get hold of plumber and electrician now, well we have contacted but getting them to agree dates. Was bit tricky getting the bath into an old house but we managed it. Had a lovely bath now with Molton Brown bath foam and a cup of tea and chocolate buttons.
