Hi QUEENIEM 83,
I feel so sad for you and feel your pain. Take small steps each day and build up your strength so you can deal with whatever is thrown at you. Be strong for the children who need you so much. What an awful experience being told she had passed when she hadnt How dare they say that to you Makes me so angry but nothing surprises me these days. The NHS is broken in my eyes and I also had a bad experience at the hosp with my poor mum
I will check again tom to see how you are
