Good for you! Since excess thinking and worrying is not going to change a thing, why go there. I am so glad you have coped so well, and as you say, now you know what to expect - as Mich says, the unknown really is the worst - and I knew you wouldn't end up in the fetal position! You are too much of a fighter for that.Hydration is important - if water tastes vile, try diet ginger beer - it works for the stomach too. Don't want your hand to spring a leak:)Thinking of you - kick it to the kerb! Michelle xxx
