Glad to hear you are now on the onwards and upwards,I do hope that you have kept a photographic record of all of this and that you took the advice of seeing a solicitor, even a phone call to one would give you peace of mind as to what they will or will not be able to do, the fact that you had to spend so many days in the hospital is more than enough grounds for taking this further,good luck!! please keep us informed of how things progress,and I have taken your advice, never let your hubby or partner pack your case, I have a prepacked case in the bedroom ready to go if I ever need it!
