Not made any posts for a long time partly due to illness. Yes I've got hypertension, stage 4 kidney impairment and to top it all I had a blood clot in my lung. Medical appointments seem to take up most of my time but luckily my DD has now reached a stage where she can actually help me! I too have always looked well, at least when I have the energy to face the world....but I think that my family get the worst of it : Do you think we carers have a much higher incidence of ill health?

Hi and welcome. Sadie

cricket.......(What else did you expect me to put!.. ...and I don't even understand the game!)

At the ripe old age of 53 I have finally got round to reading J.M.Barrie's Peter Pan! I really enjoyed some of the odd asides. Now started to read Peter Pan in Scarlet, the official sequel, by Geraldine McCaughrean. one of my favourite children's authors along with Michael Morpurgo......both good for adults too...or have I never grown up either?

Good luck Tally. I hope you find the right place in the near future....the bungalow you mentioned sounds as if it has potential. Sadie

LONDON? Where's that?

DS had them too, aged about 10. He caught them just as he was recovering from an extremely bad bout of impetigo....his immune system was compromised by the impetigo I presume. Just one thing after another LOL

In our case special school was the only option. DD attended mainstream nursery but did not engage and achieved absolutely nothing during her time there. Made no friends, got invited to no parties, no work (or paintings) on the walls. Add to that the toiletting issue (DD wasn't dry at the time.....got offered support at lunchtime for toiletting but was always sopping wet before lunchtime anyway!) I started the ball rolling to get a statement in July... DD was in special school in the September...maybe I was lucky. DD now 14 and still within the 'special' system and attends an ASD unit within LEA MLD school. We never have had a formal diagnosis but DD is thriving in her current environment. She also has the opportunity to integrate within the main body of the school, and does for the majority of lessons now, and can shine in a small pond rather than fail in the open sea. That's our story in a nutshell......(extremely condensed!) Hope you manage to find what's most suitable, Sadie

Is it that you think Her Maj. is so sorely in need of careers advice?

Hi and welcome.

Sorry to hear that you've been through the mill recently....take care of yourself <'> <'>
