I wondered. I remember your ealier post. You're such a good mama. I'll
be doing a happy dance if mine show signs of weaning anytime after 12mos.
I seem to produce milk obsessed munchkins.

yes well so was my first, but then I got pregnant with Ada and my milk
vanished, Ada has definitely been less keen after the 9 monthish stage, but
still likes to check in for a nuzzle, I'm glad I can do this for her, but it
really isn't difficult, or a tie, or anything like that.

That is such a cute age but I it must be really difficult for you :-(
Will you be able to continue seeing specialists here in the US?

theoretically I am able to and I've already found a PT who I think is going
to be helpful, but I haven't tracked down either a rheumatologist with the
relevant specialisms, or an orthopedic surgeon with the relevent
specialisms, I think I probably don't really need the latter, as my SPD is
definitely improving and I don't think I'd consider surgery, but I really do
need the former. I've arranged an appointment to see a regular doctor and
I'm hoping she may be able to give me a clue as to how to track someone
down.

Good luck with all the adjustments Anne. I've never lived more then 3hrs
from where I was born so I can't imagine adjusting to such big cultural
changes. It sounds exciting but stressful at the same time.

Ah well, I've spent all my adult life further way than that from "home", and
it was a big change intially as it was a leap across what in England is
known as the north south divide. I've spent time in the states before as
well as Korea in 2005. My parents have always lived in the north of england,
but my grandparents have lived many places, so in someways living away from
"home" is in my blood. Clearly there are cultural changes, but it's not as
much as you might think, it just so happens that some of my closest friends
in England were American (and infact one moved to Seattle 2 years before we
did), we also found that going to Korea gave us some of the American culture
shock, we prepared for the Korean stuff and it was the American stuff that
took us by surprise!

Cheers
