I just wanted to say thanks all to everyone who replied to my message. It was very reassuring and it made me feel better. I really feel like I need people there for me and it is nice to know there are people on this website. Although I might be incommunicado during the process of sct.
Just a note to Megan, I am also at Barts Hospital. I was in there for almost 6 weeks with my collapsed vertebra and I couldn't use wifi. I was in ward 4a. Noticed you said that your husband had a laptop while he was there. Was he able to use wifi? I hope I react as well to the sct as your husband did and as some of the other folks who responded did. Am still absolutely terrified and depressed though.
