Re: Where are you in your recovery?

Thanks for the support Clive :) You're right about all SAers having bad days but I genuinely (naively?) thought that ones like I had on this holiday were behind me. I don't know what'll happen from...

It's sad that so many of you have been/are being held back by SA :(
