Hi Marie, good to hear from you; it’s been some time. Is this in fact Haiku? Perhaps I’m incorrect in thinking the syllable structure is always 5–7–5? Anyway, that doesn’t matter, I’m far more concerned about the other tags. H ❤

Hello Hariod and of course you’re correct about the 5-7-5 syllable structure. I have seen however that many here on WordPress do not always stick rigidly to the rules. Trust you to notice!:)
Also, ill-health means that I’m due to have surgery early next month. Thanks for your concern.❤

Hairdo, you are such a ruddy pedant. Throw a girl some slack. Although I like the idea of some diety prognosis. Must be occasion for an ellipsis or two!!!! Sending light love and positivity across the internet

Well that ain’t good! Not at all! I hope you have someone by your side making sure that you are receiving every treatment available (psychological and physical) and double checking what you are told by your doctors.
Not dissing doctors but nobody knows your body like you do and no one will have you as their priority agenda more than you.

Thank you so much ‘theed’ – (I should try to find out your name!) I love your message and concern for me. You are the third person in the last few days to suggest ‘double checking’ which makes me think that I ought to act on that. Marie ❤

Oh hell yeah! Doctors are human and make mistakes all the time or don’t give you enough background supportive information because they are so busy.
I have quite a few examples of this in my own family where a doctor’s lazy? tired? dismissive-ness and incorrect diagnosis could have led very dramatically to the worst case scenario.
So I always triple check everything I’m told. Luckily today it’s quite easy because of the internet, but bear in mind that many people you might find on the web are spouting opinions and not facts, so head to sites that are maintained by doctors and don’t listen to any ONE person – get an OVERVIEW of opinions from professionals and experienced patients or lay people.
Good luck, stay +ve.
