Hey ladies,
Mads, thank you for your kind message earlier today. It really touched me and I am so glad that I could help in some small way. You really are a poster girl for getting through this so valiantly ! I will be sticking around here too so I am glad to hear you will be! xx
Dotty, I am so sorry you have had such a rubbish time lately. Its such a worry when this is almost forced upon us and fear is not a nice thing to experience. I too have every confidence in you though. And know that you are a tough one as you have other things to contend with that you do with grace. So this is going to be another challenge that you will rise to. You know from all of our stories that the first few days are the worst. Prepping for them makes life MUCH easier. Rest is imperative and lots of TV to distract you through it. I found that Berrocca (effervescent vitamin b drink) helped settle my stomach. Ibuprofen helped with pain (Naproxen for big pain although didn’t need it this time) lots of liquid, water, lemonade and Imodium. You can do this my dear and it will such a weight off your mind when you have got through that initial stuff. We are here for you xx
