Progress

I saw a GP today; I have a prescription for real pain relief, a referral to the practice counsellor, more HRT cream, and she's going to chase my missing appointments with consultants up. This is good.

Mormor Greta's funeral has been set - Friday week. Rob has booked his flights etc, and my mother is coming to help me while he's gone.

I even have some clothes that I can wear this winter. I just need to exchange them in Marks & Spencer for the right size - which I can do, because I'm over my virus. This also means that I can go and associate with my friends with babies again, always a bonus.

I'm glad your GP is on the ball and getting things moving for you. Good doctors are hard to find, sometimes :-)

I'm really pleased that you've got real pain relief and that everything else is moving.

I was going to ask whether you'd been referred to a counsellor of some sort - a close friend saw a midwife counsellor after a traumatic birth and found it really helpful and I hope it's helpful for you, too.

Hope the extra pain relief helps :)

I have a midwife bookcrossing friend who is lending me some books on VBAC. I'll just e-mail her now & ask if she has any on traumatic birth recovery too.
