It's starting to sink in.

Thanks everyone, stacks of good practical advice. Because of Covid though I'm not able to take anyone with me to appointments. Not even when I was in hospital after the surgery. That's probably just as well as I was going to see if we could sneak my border collie Jess in!! I do have a ridiculously fluro orange and pink notebook though that I am keeping everything together in and writing down questions prior to appointment. I get my hubby to give me any questions he has too. 
Thanks for your support it's really helpful and I don't feel so weird being on the website, although I am still working up to reading articles properly. I'm sure they will still be there when I am ready. Xxxx
