Thanks Beckh and Steve
Online I usually go by V, so if I use that, I'll know who you are talking about.
I should do a bit more of an introduction. I am 39 and a mum to 2 beautiful children, girl 5 and boy 3. I work full time (at the moment) in government policy. I have speech and swallowing issues and losing function in my right hand. It does make work more challenging - what I do is talk and type!
I imagine that the coming weeks will be fairly information intensive. I'm sure I will have questions.
My intent is to stay positive. I guess I'm not looking too far down the track, just 'what's next'?
If anyone likes game of thrones, I am adopting a phrase from that:
"What do we say to the God of death? ... not today!"
Cheers, V
