Hello there

[Arty]

Thanks friends.
I think I have taken in more from yesterday than I thought I did. I am nervous about Thursday and Friday but as my partner says, they won't expect you to be superwoman after one day! Due to a meds delay and talking things over with partner and counsellor, I have upped my evening pregabalin to 75mg ( I usually take 50mg 3x per day) I am hoping this will settle me before bed as my sleep is a little disturbed atm x

Sounds like you’re doing positive things to keep you grounded. Well done

It's great that you are talking everything through with your partner and counsellor lovely..

Hi, I have had a funny turn. This morning I had a call from the care home where I am going to be working re: a problem with the DBS check. After phoning the helpline and then racing down to the home to sort things out, I felt awful. I am know resting on the sofa. Still due to work in the morning so fingers crossed it goes ok x

Try not to worry Arty. I used to have enhanced DBS because I worked in a nursery. I’m sure it will work out ok.

[Arty]

Thanks ElizabethJane, the DBS situation is ok now. I am feeling calmer than earlier thankfully x

[Paula]

I’m sure it’ll be fine but I can understand why it’s upset you

[Arty]

Thanks ladies for being there to listen to me x

[Suzi]

I know that it can cause upset, but hunni these things are normally relatively easily sorted. I hope that you're recovered from it now...
