Hello everyone
I visited Carol in hospital and she wants me to thank everyone who replied with good wishes and prayers for her.
She has just learned the brain tumour is operable and will be undergoing surgery next Tuseday.
Although a very scary time she's being very brave but missing her children and freedom and going a little stir crazy as the tumour is preventing her reading and doing her beloved crossword puzzles (Dizzy spells and can't focus) so she's
pretty bored with too much time to dwell on things.
At this stage thats all we know but will update more at Carol's request and thank you all again and I just pray all goes well Tuesday for her.
Carol is only 38 and has two young children and her husband cannot be with her due to work commitments but will probably get compassionate leave to travel from Scotland to be with her Tuesday.
Good wishes to all.
Tricia
