I'll be looking forward to hearing good news about the follie scan, Deb.

While today is being counted as the last day in the countdown, I've still got to be at work on Monday and Tuesday next week for a few other bits and pieces... Those days are nice - time to clean your desk and pack up, play games with your colleagues, Christmas parties without being interrupted by kids.

I'm feeling much, much better today. I think what had happened is that I was feeling all stuffy and congested, which was restricting my breathing... which makes me feel like I'm having a panic attack because of the way I'm breathing. It sounds completely and utterly stupid, but I've had it a couple of times before. Although, once you realise that it's just the way you are breathing, you can distract yourself and not focus on it and it very soon passes.


Emmydee, I hope the outing with your friend goes well. One thing I've learnt is that it's always much better to be open and honest with friends and family about what you are feeling, rather than bottling it up inside. Sometimes people don't realise how hard it is on us, but it's so much easier for them to support you if they know how you feel.
