Love to hear from others on the forum if you experience this

My hubby has been diagnosed with lots of things and has had MI all his life

do you find things goes ok and i start to feel confident and wanting to go forward and then everytime something always happens to upset it -- sometimes I think is it a controlling thing ?? that he wants to be in control ??

No fires here @Former-Member although I can feel the temperature dropping it is still a bit warm. (Think I may have a temp though).

I have given up on work and watching some youtube clips by Tony Fleming who has documented his travels on a motor yacht. Scenery is quite something and his narration voice is quite soothing. Will be lights out soon.

Hi all,

@Faith-and-Hope @Determined @xtine ( hello ! ) @Former-Member @Shaz51

I love eating bacon, garlic, onion, oil and pasta ...... Cheese.

Over 7 days ago, I flew over to Adelaide and I'm now in Sydney visiting my brothers and wives and their children. I haven't cleaned or cooked for 7 whole days. I keep on jumping up to do things but they tell me to sit down. It's been both very relaxing and also a little freaky to let myself have time off.

My hubby, Mr Little Buddah has been really ill for a while now and just before I booked the ticket, I thought I was going to go crazy. It 's not him as such, it's his condition of very chronic paranoid schizophrenia. The good far outweighs the benefits...... How dare I criticise him when I have my own issues that he needs to carry ?

but you know, you can sit upright and show off you know all the details and the tricks of the trade in self care and when your burnt out.......your burnt out........

Dear @xtine

how are you ? My nephew has high functioning autism, he is 7 years old......his parents are waiting for ndis to come through and there is new information with Pysiotherapy and movement which is supposed to have real results and progress in Autism.

MY nephew has made great progress since he has begun this program with the Psychologist and Phsiotherapist. He gets up in the morning and does certain excersises every morning. : the crab walk, about 4 other type walks that help him.

Truly amazing, doing something that you think is completely unrelated to Autism.
