How am I????????????

Truthfully ......... not great. I was travelling along OK and then the dreaded Work Cover emailed me one evening (well it was when I checked my email) asking me to attend a psychiatric review in 3 days time (my claims consultant had forgotten to send out a letter informing me of the appointment). To say this sent my anxiety off the scale is an under statement. Very little sleep that night worrying about contacting him to explain I'd already made arrangements to take DD1 to an appointment that I wouldn't be able to reschedule. He was OK about it as it was his mistake and he told me he'd make a new appointment for me and let me know.........

Still no appointment after 2 weeks............ mentioned it at my GP appointment and she rang him there and then - lo and behold I had an appointment date within 10 minutes (he rang while I was still with my GP)..........

Another 2 weeks waiting and I finally had the review last Tuesday. Not sure how it went really, told her I really don't think I'll ever nurse again and for me I think the best option is a redemption and then I can really focus on a return to health rather than a return to work (without stressing about Work cover and what they'll expect of me next). 
More waiting now for the report (they usually take 4 weeks) - more stressing while I wait ......... I do have lots I could be doing...... the SAL with Chooky for one - I have made a start, a slow one but a start. Even catching up with blogs is a struggle.....

Motivation is none existent, enthusiasm for anything is lacking too....... I know I have many, many things to be grateful for but I would just like some closure on this chapter of my life and be able to move onto the next......

FNSI..... I remembered to post

I joined in with Wendy and lots of others on Friday for FNSI and I've remembered to post about before the weekend's over woo hoo.......
I spent the day with a friend and we made some wine totes - we made 3 in total until we were pleased with the design and sewing process; what do you think wine drinkers think? Would you be pleased to receive one as a gift?

My Valentine......

I took part in Cheryll's initial swap for Valentines Day. I had the most amazing valentine.... My parcel arrived on a particularly down day (more on those later) but when I opened the love put into it was evident from the way each gift was beautifully wrapped to the thought in each one when opened... Thank you so much Kate and to Cheryll for organising this swap.

I made my partner a cute little cushion - it has arrived safely and she likes it.....
