You have all given me allot to think about and tips on what I should expect are invaluable. I was not aware that I would not be able to drive for some time (I have a manual) and I will now be able to pass this onto my work colleagues and let them know that I will work from home once I am feeling up to it.

I can't tell you how grateful I am to have found this awesome forum, everyone on here is an inspiration and I have gained more practical knowledge in the last 24 hours from this thread than I have from all the medical professionals I have seen so far. Thank you to each and everyone of you and I wish you all luck in your journeys <3
