I'm still wonder what it would be like to be grown up
Paula you've lots of bodily bits working correctly, I think we all wish our mental health was perfect and every bit of our bodies were perfect but this world is not like that, all you can do is make the best of what this world has dealt you.
Paula you're doing that supremely well, you've a formidable mental strength, stare adversity in the face and kick it in the nuts, you're a truly inspirational person.
And we all love and care for you.gif "(bear)")

I can’t believe you’re using my own bolstering techniques against me ...... but (grumbles) you’re right and I’m just going to stop feeling sorry for myself and get on with it
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
How are you doing now lovely?
You're fab... Feel upset, angry and frustrated and talk to us - you don't have to be OK about this today, let it sink in and give yourself time to process it properly...
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
The neurologist did make me chuckle, though, he was stunned at my improvement with walking and said that it gives hope to all doctors that miracles can happen. Him and Si went off at one point to get some paperwork and apparently that was all he wanted to talk about. He also said (which was sweet) that, if anyone was going to have such a positive outcome, he’s not surprised it was me as I’ve got a great attitude
I’m ok, really, and I’m seeing my best friend later (and a Labrador/spaniel puppy called Isla) - which will be much needed therapy

Ahhh, puppy therapy - best therapy out there!
Glad you're doing something for self care today.

The others have put it very well. It's just being human that you're upset and angry about this diagnosis. But on the bright side, you're up, you're getting out and about and a cuddle with a puppy is just what this doctor ordered.
Thank you allI

I have been thinking of you and hope you are ok.
I’m ok, I fell asleep on the sofa last night so Si sent me to bed at 8.30..... I’m in pain today so I’ve cancelled yoga but I’m going to a Christmas concert at St Peter’s church in Winchester tonight where my friend’s singing - it’s sold out so she worked really hard to get an additional ticket at short notice so Si could accompany me, so I’m absolutely going.

Sad to hear you are in pain. I hope it will get better. And that you will be able to enjoy the concert tonight
