Happy Birthday

Good morning, thank you all so much for your kind wishes,

My ECG was still a little high, but my pulse was 70 when done manually. 

Thankfully they have no concerns. but I need to go back again next week to have another ECG and have been told to calm myself down before I go.

How am I supposed to do that if I naturally fear the Dr's!!!

Anyway I have a card for my next door neighbours little girl,

She's 3, and is having her fairy party later today.
