Susan - I am so sorry for your loss. This is the best place for support so feel free to stay with us.

Lynn - I will post here too - I am so pleased all went well today. I did not think about the hospital part until I arrived there last week (on my own, as DH had a meeting he could not get out of) and had to walk into the same ward as I went in the stretcher. It was really upsetting but I am glad I did it and feel that it is a step closer (as Tommysmum said) to our ultimate goal!!
