Good on you @Bow! I'm sure that wouldn't have been easy but you did it!! And I'm so glad to hear the waitlist isn't as long as you anticipated!
Also new kittens, how sweet. How many are you fostering this time?

Thank you @Ru-bee @rav3n very long overdue conversation
I’ve got 4 babies and their mum. We as foster carers don’t usually get to name them as they are names as they arrive and are vet checked. But I picked these ones up straight after their vet checked, I actually had to wait a little while. So I got to name them! We have mumma Taylor, and her babies Red, folklore, midnight and evermore 🙂

I'm glad there was some progress with your CM @Bow Hopefully it continues this way and they can provide you with a psych very soon.
You must be exhausted hon. Just saying what you need can be very tiring, both mentally and physically. Hope you can find something nice to do for yourself tonight.
BTW, those pic's are adorable and I love the names!

Hey @Snowie it was a huge effort but I think I managed to communicate to my CM what I’ve been wanting to tell her for weeks. And I feel like she understood and heard me. She said I had a good understanding of myself. She also mentioned adhd when I read to her some of the reasons words don’t come out.
She said that she had actually checked the wait list for someone else today and they said it was around 2mths…. Here I was expecting 6-12mths +
Just watching some tv tonight.
how was your day?

I'm so pleased for you @Bow I know what you did didn't come easy and you were probably really anxious beforehand. You made a huge leap today.
Thats good if the wait is only around 2 months. Well not good that you have to wait, but I guess a lot better than 12 months away.
Today wasn't great. Had to contact nurse on call and scbs.
