hello, any room for a newbie (or an oldie in disguise!)
I've been away for a little while but have now arisen from the ashes after a recent flaming/roasting/stalking incident (tries out new winges and flutters feathers)
Have managed to catch up with all your news
TITS so sorry you are having problems with A but at least you have been referred and are heading in the right direction. Is it to do with his tongue tie? H isn't speaking much and he has (mild) tongue tie so am wondering whether I ought to get it checked out here.
littlesez was so sad to read your posts from last week but am so pleased you are talking. I've always believed one of the most important things in a relationship is communication so you are off to a good start. Fingers crossed for you.
KBN have a fab holiday. Very
SM well done on your studying/exam results and also job offer. Hope planning for J's party goes well.
dinky hope work not too bad and you are catching up on sleep. I read today in the Mail (god, I'll be flamed again) an interesting article about parents of under 2 year olds and sleep deprivation. It says we need a minimum of 5 hours uninterrupted sleep to be able to function properly and lots of little odd hours here and there don't really count. Clearly the journalist doesn't have kids!
All manic here. DH went back to work so I'm home alone with 4DC. DC1 has been doing a mini pupillage this week. So pleased I managed to swing this for him as he really landed on his feet and has been in Court all week on a child care case with the head of chambers. Also, I tapped up another solicitor I know (ex boyfriend who owes me big time) and he said he'd let DC go in and help out from time to time and emailed me yesterday asking if he could go to a con with counsel and then a hearing on Mon]ay on another child care case. Just picked papers up today and have been doing some light bedtime reading on a really fascinating case. Am a bit of DCs opportunities as in the 12 years I did family law I was never involved in huge cases like these. Hopefully will look good on the Oxbridge application in October
Things pretty crappy on the back front here (if that makes sense?) Bad back has seriously deteriorated (will be the bloody ironing as feared) Ended up seeing a chiropractor on Wednesday and had scary diagnosis. Took along my xray from post surgery 10 years ago and he did new ones and compared and thought initially he had wrong ones. Since surgery spine has curved from one side to other and since 2003 when I last went to that practice one leg is now 3 inches shorter than other (was 1 inch difference last time) I've not lost a bit of my leg or anything like that (think I'd have noticed) but my pelvis has rotated over the years and as a result one leg appears shorter than the other. Was shocking looking at the comparison of xrays and I was in tears. Partly tears of relief that I've finally had confirmation that my back really isn't right. Have had terrible pain for years now (only day I didn't was when I had H and had a spinal block!) and have felt at times like no one believed me. He said the muscles around my (lower) spine are pretty non existent and I have pretty much no movement there (cannot bend and pick things up from floor at the moment)
I left there in tears Wednesday and went back today and am having to have intensive treatment, 3 times a week and he is hopefuly that he can help me regain some of my movement and eventually reduce my pain although he made it clear I will never be 100% again. He also implied that the major surgery I had (metal pins etc) potentially did more harm that good. Ouch! (physically and financially at 32 quid a go!)
anyway, enough of me moaning, hope everyone else is doing ok x
