Well today was the best day so far ! They pulled off some more extra fluid and i had a fantastic nurse , who explained lots to me and step by step what she was doing. As far as questions go shes said ..ask away ! What a difference it makes when you get treated decently ! Ive also had an hour with the therapist today , so probably got a lot off my chest of the stuff ive been bottling up. Shes going to have a few more sessions with me and see what help she can be to me. Thanks to you all for helping me through these past few days , no doubt im going to need you all again  xxx
