Just done a hard phone call. Told my g/friends I wont be joining them on the trip. It was a hard conversation to blurt out, but I have done it now and actually whilst I am gutted I am not going, I feel relieved. I know it is the right decision for me.
Thank you so much on the advice re my joints. I take Nuramol (a mix of paracetamol and ibuprofen) when the pain is unbearable, but I am trying not to take anything if I don't have to, I dont want to become reliant. I have just read that salt, sugar and alcohol are triggers - well that's my life over ha ha.
As re your thoughts on h I text him this morning, just to say hi. As i mentioned before, he is all bright and breezy, like we only spoke a few days ago ! Will leave it at there and let him carry on with his day.
