don't apologise BW! It was just something I hadn't really considered. At the moment, my focus injury wise is dealing with the acute injury, figuring out what works with the pain, figuring out what my limitations actually are, and working out just how bad it is - that's what the surgeon is for. I wish it was something like arthritis which (for me) would be more managable - I've dealt with that since I was 12.

My goodness, it just occured to me... a part of my condition is congenital. What if I have handed it on to DD? If I have more babies - they could get it too. No. I don't want that!

This parenting caper is bloody hard!
