Bryony,

I'm late as usual in getting around to posting. While I wholly agree with PattiJT's advice to you, there may be a few more points worth adding. ...

Thanks Annabel, I really appreciate your thoughts!

I don’t know whether your own concerns are public as well as personal but they obviously extend not only to yourself and your family but also the members of this forum. In a way you act as our collective conscience, and when you seemed to disappear for a while I for one was anxious. You recently expressed the same concern about Isabelle - happily both of you resurfaced. Carry on the good work and good luck with your doctor visit

And thanks for that too! FYI when I disappear for a while, it's generally because I've read something so depressing that I need a break! (no examples will be given...)

Finally, I'd like to apologise to flamesabers for inadvertently hijacking this thread. What is the netiquette in these situations? Does anyone know? Should I create another thread if a random comment grows?

B.
