    Hi @csno01 it is nice to hear from you. I am not doing too badly, just nervous all the time about everything and struggling a bit but nothing new. What about you?

    @csno01 nice of you to ask, struggling big time with my eyes waiting for cataracts to be sorted, otherwise getting really fed up and bored as not getting out much.

    Hi Woodbine,
    I am sorry to hear this. Have you tried some deep breathing exercises? Are also some really good audio guides which might be helpful. Do you listen to music much? 
    I am ok thank you. I recently bought a PS4 which I am happy about. I like my gaming  :-) 
    I hope you get your issues sorted @teddy bear. I am ok thank you. 
    I am sorry to hear that @Woodbine. How long have you been waiting?

    @csno01 thanks for that, lucky so far my optician has referred me to a private clinic where the work will be done but on the NHS hoping that it's all sorted before Christmas or early next year, to have it done at the hospital would be at least a 12 month waiting list.

    Ouch.

    That is a long time @Woodbine.
    Glad to hear things are starting to move for you.

    You might be better off going private as you get a theme to quicker. Best of luck.
