BW - hun, i'm so sorry you've had such a shocking time today. some people are just downright rude! sorry you weren't able to sort out the metformin thing to be on xr - my fs said that 1000mg of xr once a day had a similar impact to the 850mg twice daily, but not as many side effects. hopefully your stomach will settle down too!

SS - i'd be going into your appointment with FS and asking which orifice he'd prefer!!

Lou - here's hoping you have a decent week next week - about time it got a little better for you.

ATT - welcome - but i'm really hoping you don't have to graduate to this thread!

as for me - well, positive me lasted til bed time last night, when i got a little bit anious talking to DH about what might be next week - but then i realised i can't do anything about it til next week, so feeling a little better. still worried, but i'll get there. my bro/sil and their three kidlets have just arrived for a visit until - well - i have no idea when they're leaving, but by the amount of stuff they just dragged in, i'm guessing not soon!! might be a little quiet this weekend....
