Far and Away

not teary like yesterday my sister @Zoe7

mr shaz had his second physio today , went ok but mr shaz has his doubts

we worked 4 hours today andthen lunch and then physio xx

then I visited mum and uncle , cousin worried about me xx

A bit worried about you too @Shaz51 You have so much on your plate and are trying to be strong for everyone else but have no time out for yourself. I know it is hard when there is so much going on but you also need to look after yourself my sister and you certainly have enough of your own health issues to deal with. It is good that you may have someone to help with doing your mum's garden - that would be one thing off your mind but you also need some time just for you.

that is why @Faith-and-Hope wants me to talk to my kidney specialist tomoorow about carer`s burnout @Zoe7

yes the physio and myaged care worker has seen my mum in hospital about getting added help -- mum said "oh my daughter (me ) does that "

You need to step in there then Hon and get that care organised for your mum - it is essential that you pull back a little on what you do for your mum. Some of it can be done by outside help - you can still look after her in some ways but you can't sustain what you have been doing and look after Mr. Shaz and yourself too @Shaz51 You will still be in your mum's life - that won't change but running around for her, trying to work and look after everyone else is definitely taking a toll on you ...and if you are not in a good place then you can't take care of anyone. You need to look after you first to be able to help out with everyone else

Hi @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope

Yes losing your garden would have been tough @Faith-and-Hope

I saw your writing about that, on the other thread.

I know that I would feel totally lost (& hemmed in), without my garden.

It's rather hot here, or is it just me....

Sorry I've been rather quiet on the forums - I've been very tired, unable to write much.

I'm trying to remain calm, & not panic too much - going in for the surgery Wednesday (the day after tomorrow), at 10.30am WST.

I will be thinking of everyone here, as soon as I'm awake enought to think (after surgery).

I will have to read posts from Mobile phone, if phone reception is okay.

In case I don't 'see'you before Wednesday all the best of luck with the surgery @Adge I haven't forgotten your birthday next week either - so hopefully it will be a double celebration ...birthday and successful surgery

Thanks @Adge , and I will be thinking of you too. All the very best for the surgery, and I will look forward to the birthday / surgery success party too .... ❤️

I hope you got your photoshop homework done @Faith-and-Hope and are home now ready to settle in for the night. I am off to bed soon - feeling exhausted tonight still. It is a later day for me tomorrow so need the rest so I can get through it. Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?

Looking forward to the birthday / surgery success party too . @Adge and will be thinking of you big time this week my friend xoxo

Not home yet @Zoe7 , but nearly .... stopped to rest. Visual was overtired and hissy, so I let her tram it, and I walked.

Sleep well Hon .... and I hope you have a lovely day tomorrow.
