Argh!!
On one hand that’s just so maddening to read but on the flip side, kind of good she noticed it and has hopefully prevented any recurrence of infection.
So have they let you home now?
How much more can any one person take? You’re being tested to the limit here. Must mean there’s lots of good stuff in store in 2020! Gotta think positive! This hasn’t been your year so next year has to be! x
