That bought back that horrible black feeling of worry that makes me feel physically nauseous. After X-rays yesterday we have the all clear at this stage; pending a radiographer report on Wednesday, however that horrible feeling hasn't fully left me yet. I seem to be back to getting no enjoyment out of anything at all and hating everyone and everything. I don't think i coludl go throug it all again, i really don't.. So i may be away for a while until i feel a bit cheerier..

Carl, just reading that first line gave me that sick feeling and started tears welling in my eyes. Pleased to hear that things look all clear and I'm sure they'll stay that way.
Hope that crappy feeling leaves you soon brother.
