I found a lump... No point in couching it in some other thoughts, at the moment it is THE thought. It's a shock I have to say, but I feel okay about it, my intuition says not to worry and it has always been right in the past. I feel a comforting sureness ... Read more >

I was right to be concerned when I saw the driver sitting ready to leave when we arrived with a bare 5 minutes to spare to catch my bus to Auckland. He rudely told a woman she should 'go and sit down because I am leaving' as I entered the bus, she just ... Read more >

I went to work for 2 hours for the first time last Friday and then on Monday I went for 3 hours. I am standing up fairly straight though my stomach is tight. It's my back that can't take the sitting or using my arms at desk height for too long.
