Hi there!

So, so sorry to hear you're crook, Frogga. Yes, that really does suck, to say the very least! Wondered what you were up to, never dreamed it was heavy-duty ceiling-watching....you need an interesting ceiling.

Don't suppose you're interested in astronomy? (I am...). Just in case you are, there's a fabulous computer programme called "Backyard", you can set the night (and day, but you can turn off the sunlight) sky to anywhere in the world you are and watch the heavens move in realtime...and find out what's what...plus lots of other bells and whistles. Fabulous program. Anyway, I suddenly thought that if a friend could attach a projector to your computer and point it to the ceiling, you'd have something to look at, but still dark and soothing and all that. Just me musing......

When do you get the chair back, or replaced, or is that not an option? Good idea to talk to the doc, hope he has some bright ideas pronto! Don't worry about all the work, get yourself sorted first and foremost - you'll catch up soon enough once you're a bit more comfortable. What does your mum say about it all at the moment?

Take care, sweetie, thanks so much for keeping in touch with us, I know it's not easy for you to do so, but I know we all appreciate it very much, and your unfailing helpfulness and good humour. Loads of hugs, love ya!!

all the best
