Just in case . . .

The last three weeks have been quite eventful and emotional ones. The ‘hand incident’ left me reeling in a way I hadn’t expected. I guess it was a combination of the pain and also the frustration of not being able to function normally, so I ended up feeling extra vulnerable. It also felt as if so much time was ‘lost’ – most of it going to and from the hospital and dealing with my utter dread of those places. And then the gastrointeritis hit me when I was down. I ended up not coping very well with what amounted to a lot of fear and other quite mixed up feelings.

So I want to apologise to anyone who may have found me being stroppy, short-tempered, over-sensitive or otherwise strange lately. I probably shouldn’t have allowed myself to be out in public while I was feeling so weird, but the blogs and chatting with people were usually a welcome distraction (even though typing one-handed really sucks).

And I want to say thanks to Nog who stood by me and helped me through, putting up with my bizarre mood swings and – dare I say it? – always willing to lend a hand.

And also thanks to the friends who listened and understood, and who didn’t desert me when I needed them most.
