I can’t cope

I can hear how much pain you are in right now, and I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this, @Captain24. It's completely understandable to feel scared and miserable given everything you're going through. It's okay to feel this way, and reaching out for support, like you're doing now, is really important. ❤️

So frustrating that your sick leave was used up when you were stood down, especially since you need that time for hospital visits. I hope they can reverse the decision. It's good that you questioned it. Keep advocating for yourself; your health is the most important thing.

Is there anything specific that might help you feel better while waiting for your next physio appointment? Did they give you some painkillers?

I am doing well and looking forward to getting some rest over the weekend.

Doesn’t make sense to me sorry @Captain24 you shouldn’t be losing sick pay when you hurt yourself at work. Sounds like your boss doesn’t wanna take responsibility and pay up.

Hi @Bow ❤️
Sorry I logged off yesterday so couldn't respond

How're you doing today hun?

Hey @lavenderhaze im curled up in bed now, not doing ok today. Just did an order I got from market last weekend and made some other pieces. Really had to force myself to sit at my desk and do some work, just wanted to go back to bed.

how are you?

It’s a big company @Bow. They can do what they like. It’s easy enough for them to spin it back to the girl with the MH issues!

Argh, I hate that for you @Captain24! Is your back bad?

It’s all just snowballing @lavenderhaze. I have done well so far on the big things to look out for myself. I just don’t think I can do it on the little things. I let people walk over me all the time.

I have finally put the money to the side for poor little Jetta surgery. I was hoping that the vet would get back to me so he can go in sooner.

Im trying to get hold of admissions at the hospital to find out the dates of when I have to go. No one will get back to me.

It’s just a never ending battle.

Is it a long weekend for you? I’m not sure if it’s country wide or just NSW. I hope you get a good rest. Especially if it is a long weekend. I’m not sure where you are. Do you have any plans?

Yeah it’s pretty bad. @Bow. It’s mostly affecting my right hip. I can’t lift my right leg to put my pants on or shoes. It hurts way too much. All I can take is over the counter pain relief and I’m taking alot! At least you can get it from the supermarket now so no one knows how much I am taking.

Ah that sucks @Captain24 feeling your pain though! I currently have issues with my right hip and lifting my leg is difficult. Worse when I’ve been on the treadmill so shouldn’t really complain!

does heat help?

I’m sorry you are going through it too @Bow. The whole treadmill thing would be an issue but I get that the pain doesn’t matter. You feel it still has to happen.

I have been putting a heat pack on my back and it does help. I need to try and work out how to manoeuvre it to get the right stop on my hip. The physio also taped my back so that’s helping except the fact that I’m allergic to tape!

Are you doing anything about your hip or do you just need to let it run its course?
