not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay

Just wanted to thank you for your caring response to my post expressing my current grief. It helped me as did @utopia and @Former-Member's. It was really appreciated. It really is forum members like yourself that have been through it, that makes this support group successful. To me friendship and genuine compassion is better than any counselling session for healing and strength. Although your psych session did sound like it went well and your slice of heaven near the beach reminds me of mine. How much longer until your daughter is full term? It is exciting - I bet you are counting the days 😀💕

Thank you @Former-Member

I really feel for you at the moment and wish there was something I could do for you. But I hope that you just knowing that I am here for you, praying and sending you lots of strength and love is enough for you to get through day by day.

I woke up this morning with a headache and I think it's a reaction to an injection the doctor gave me at the hospital Monday night. It was to help stop feeling so sick (nausea) and now my arm is still red hot and swollen. Will show the pharmacist when I get to work today.

Still got plenty of time for baby to arrive. My daughter is now 9 weeks today. It's so funny how technology is nowadays. She has a 'baby app' on her phone and tells her how far into her pregnancy she is; what food to eat and not eat, exercise and lots of information. We didn't have that when I was pregnant 25 yrs ago!!! LOL

She is due 18 October. It is really funny because her partner's sister is pregnant and is due the day before my daughter and his sister in law is due in August. So on his side of the family there will be 3 new babies for Christmas. How nice is that 🙂

Yes, I do try to keep my 'slice of heaven' of my beautiful bay beach close to me. I just feel so peaceful when I am there. Yesterday when I went, i was listening to the waves, my feet touching the sand and the fresh air blowing in my face. And of course the beautiful sun warming my body and the amazing views of the bay with the mountain around. I do live in a special place.

Anyway, just wanted to say pls take care beautiful friend @Former-Member. I know you are doing it tough, I hope your husband is okay and your daughter too. I wish you all peace, love and strength.

Thinking of you.xxxooo

Good morning @BlueBay ...... ❤️💕

You have such beautiful compassion for others in the midst of your struggles ....

I think we are all waiting to hear some news of your husband @Former-Member .... and hope your daughter has settled a bit more under the stress of your situation.

Praying for you all .....

Hugs 🤗💐

Thank you for the beautiful post @BlueBay and for being genuinely supportive of me, as has been @Faith-and-Hope . This is so rare online I find and I am very grateful to you both. Especially with you having your own struggles @BlueBay - this means a lot. I hope your headache is eased. Your grandchild is due close to my wedding anniversary - 22nd October. Beautiful month of the year. And it will be here before you know it!

I am also very grateful for the multitude of friends and work mates who are rallying around myself and husband at this difficult time. I was gobsmacked by their love and support. So surprisingly we are doing well, I feel calm, peaceful and strong presently.

And I will be there for you both and others who need support on here and elsewhere, but I won't be expressing my own personal struggles on here anymore as I don't feel comfortable now doing so. And this I am saying to both of you wishing for no response from others. I hope this is respected.

It's a shame because both of you and oceangirl, appleblossom, utopia (thank you all so much) etc were offering me wonderful support but I have to protect myself to keep strong now, but at the same time keep supporting others whose welfare I genuinely care about. But I will tag you both and let you both know how my husband's battle with cancer goes. My situation is not for the faint of heart but I have beaten the odds before holding onto hope and faith (love that username 💕). Again thank you from the bottom of my heart for your genuine care and support. Hope you feel better soon BlueBay as you deserve to be happy. Sending lots of love 💕

Hi @BlueBay

My dd had her 45th birthday this week - and I recollected how easy the birth was after a short (8 months) pregnancy that meant I had my legs crossed for a long time

I think she's a miracle but she doesn't want to hear that

But yes - we did not have ultrasounds or smart phones back then and I am wondering about the restricted food items - I get it about the processed food - that can contain a lot of salt and maybe it's unwise to have processed food at any time but we still do - I get steamed dimsims - and salmon and vegetable cakes - we can't eat the best cuts all the time

So you are into showing the house again - tough stuff - are - trying to keep the house clean can be a nightmare - I have done this twice but the second time I was the only person living there and so it was easy to tidy up behind myself

But I remember when buying some of the houses I looked at - argh - disgusting

Yes - that sore arm - I have injections and the normal ones do not bother me but I had a vaccination about 3 weeks ago and my arm is still sore - I hope it settles now - in fact I am sure it will - some hurt more than others

I bet I know the one you had - yeah - thinking about it - that was does hurt -

Thinking of you and you daughter and the new baby - enjoy that

Dec

Thinking of you my wonderful friend @BlueBay

Here if you need.

Hugs and love

@BlueBay 💕🌹 So sorry to read of your distress. I wish the sun could come out for you embracing you in its warmth. It is so hard to sleep when anxious, angry and distressed. Is there something you can listen to - a radio programme or tape etc that may help distract and relax your mind enducing slumber? Sending you warm hugs and lots of ❤️ xx
