I actually am a bit shocked by it! I didn't have to defend myself: I realise now I was slightly geared up for a fight. Glad I didn't have to.
I am chuffed to pieces that someone looked at my notes and said "wow, we failed you big-time."
I'm really thrilled that she's going to write me (for DH) a letter to say that.
OK, so what can I get angsty about now? I now get on with my mother and have had someone from the hospital tell me that they were crap. That's my main life issues over with. What now?

Doctor Who and The Night Garden have been axed!
OK, made that up LOL. Nothing for you to be angsty about there.
That is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME NEWS Ryn, I'm so happy for you. It really does make the world of difference when you don't have to convince someone that you had a rough time and they're actually there confirming that you've every right to feel angry/peed off/hurt and all the rest of it.
I'm so glad that you took that step. Good on you.

I'm glad to hear things went so well for you 
Good on you!! It is an awful thing that you have been through but hopefully because of your courage, others won't have to experience it. You should be very proud of yourself.

Honestly Ryn - you sound like a different person - like the weight of the world has been lifted from your shoulders!

Cheers everyone.
Fionas, I think my heart stopped for a moment there. Please don't scare me that much again! (Although I would have thought that at 100 episodes we don't need more In The Night Garden... so long as they keep them on the TV.)

Oh Ryn, honey, I am so pleased to hear that. It really feels like you can get on with your life now and that you have done all you can to deal with the mess that you were subjected to. You are very brave! 
(And if anyone even dares joke about Dr Who - I don't find that in the least bit funny! Although once David Tennant is gone, really, I don't care as much...)
