I just found you via an article you wrote for the Independent and wound up reading this. As a mum I cried seeing your children's cards to you and am so glad you are ok! What a terrible ordeal. I fear for our NHS. :-(

Thanks Milli - means a lot. I've been following your work for a while. I am totally well now, running again even, it's like a distant blur in my mind x

That's so good to know that you are better.

I came back to say it was a BBC article not in the Independent!!

We are both working on books out next year! Sending solidarity!! May the word count magically increase!! xx
