just to let you all know that my two days of neurological tests and scans are over now and I have an appointment to see Professor of Neuroscience for the results and, possibly, a diagnosis on Friday 14th. It is another anxious wait but I haven't been right since early May so it is time we got to the bottom of it all. My other half is going with me and my daughter is coming down by train from Durham, so we will all hear it together, whatever she has to say.

Hello guys and gals. Well, I have survived the wedding and it was simply ace, from start to finish. I want to post photos to show you all but I don't know how to do it. Anyone any advice?

The wedding will go off perfectly you have had all the little hics already this week, have a great time.

thanks for all your very kind wishes. We are almost on with the wedding now. Though the week building up to the big day has been fraught with difficulties. I have developed a really nasty lung infection which we are "killing" with double dosed antibiotics. I still don't feel right today with only 64 hours to go. Then husband to be lost his debit card and then I went across the road to thank neighbours for their wedding gift - and their big dog jumped up and scratched my chest. The only consolation is that the pink marks, if they don't go by Saturday, match the bridesmaids dresses. What a week! But we are looking forward to it all enormously. We have Dominick the Donkey lined up with the DJ for 2200 hours. Brides request: everyone up to dance. (We will see!!)

I have adopted that song from Chumbawanga Tubthumping lyrics:

"I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down!"

I have my wedding to Peter to attend in 27 days time.
and I haven't bought the underwear yet!
For goodness sake - get a move on, WillsandCo!

Thanks, each and everyone of you, for your posts and your lovely comments.

We will crack on with life and deal with it as it comes.

Thank you wills for letting us know, I have thought of you often over the last few days.
Good wishes to you and your lovely partner, have a fantastic wedding day.

Thanks for letting us know. I was wondering. This was presumably on the list of suspects after so many other things had been eliminated, but still a shock for you all. Very best wishes.
