Best of luck Cherry.
I'm sure the English have their 'stiff upper lip' and 'buck up' phrases. Here on the east coast of the US we don't have any cool phrases I can think of.
In Texas they would just slap you on the ass and say 'Git 'er done!'.
Take care of yourself. Take pictures and notes and when you get back to working with the kids again you can show them "Cherry's Big Adventure with the NHS".
You're one tough lady. You will get through this.
