Hi All, thanks for asking @2DB and @Jimbo165, all’s well here.
Is anyone else covered in Mosquito bites?
That will teach me to show a bit of flesh, albeit in the privacy of my own home.

Oh dear Erica, you are having a bad time. I hope that all the bites are calming down. The one on your poor head sounds horrible. I hope that things improve for you. Very best wishes

So sorry Erica that you are giving up being a volunteer on the Forum, but I quite understand.

Thank you for all your support and advice - for me especially in the lockdown period with Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) watch and wait, (like you), but also when my husband was diagnosed with cancer in the first year of lockdown. Things were very difficult for us at that time, but your support and empathy helped me get through a very difficult time.

I wish you well in the future. Volunteers can be trained, but you are a natural.

Take care and best wishes,

Sandy aka Lulu999

Hi @Lulu999 and @Calathea for your kind words, gosh Covid lockdown seems so long ago.
As for the fatigue I reckon all we can do is learn how we tick and to personally manage it for us.
I am still on the forum and really look after yourselves

Dear fabulous, kind, thoughtful, caring funny, supportive and informative Erica.
Thank you for the time you have given. Glad to hear that you will still be around but a bit more time for you to enjoy nature now.
I really appreciate your gift of kindness to me.

@Erica Oh! I have only just seen this news ( it’s been a crazy few weeks :face_with_spiral_eyes: ) I cannot thank you enough for all the support you have given me ( & my husband) over the last few months as a volunteer & an online family member. Don’t know where I’d have been without you! And I was so VERY fortunate to get to meet you & give you a hug a few months ago at the blood cancer conference. You know where I am if you ever fancy a cuppa or a magnum even! :wink: Much love to you :two_hearts:
