Calm bank Holiday Monday, started a new wellbeing class Tuesday which involves nutrition and exercise, nearly killed me had to use inhaler and sit 5 minutes out, weds I decided to mow the lawn then walk the dog round the corner and then I got a phone call saying my youngest son has had an accident on his 750cc motorbike breaking both wrists 1 of which is extensive and will take up to 1 year recovery @90% usage.he is also self employed and has 2 kids absolute nightmare. He needs to come live with me in the short term and I will be his hospital taxi but so glad he's alive to tell the tale.all this has had a big effect on me and my husband just trying to shuffle the house around and work out money for him to survive financially for the next 6mths at least.
