I know you have @outlander and you've been doing really well; and I know it's a struggle to keep at it, try not to be to hard on yourself, no-one knows you like you. Definitely tell your Doctor each time you see them.

Squeeze as hard as you need @outlander My Mother used to get me to hold her hand, she'd tell me all the pain would go from me to her though our hands - it really worked! So squeeze as hard as you can!

I can tell you something about the way people feel okay about saying unjustifiable things to you - when you are ill - in hospital or not
When I injured my spine I was in hospital and having lots of horrible tests and strong pain killers - I was sh^t scared and a real mess
One of the nurses asked me if I was afraid that they wouldn't find anything wrong with me - and I remember staring at her and then saying
Are you crazy - I am scared out of my wits that they will find something wrong
To this day - so long ago - I wonder what on earth this nurse was thinking - sheesh - how great if there had been nothing wrong
I hear what you are saying Outlander
