Hi @Shaz51

You have an infected ingrown toenail, diabetes and you are now your mother's carer

You certainly don't go in for doing things by halves - oh my - you do have a lot to deal with

I have an ingrown toenail too - I have had 10 days of antibiotics and I think it's ready to be taken to a podiatrist though I have no idea of how that will help - about a year ago I had a piece taken out of my toenail because it has a hook in it - same thing and I inherited this weird thing from my father who had the same thing with the same toe - thanks Dad - I really could have done without that genetic problem - ah - not

About the diabetes - I have to have a look back on your thread but I think you said you are seeing a dietician - I eat lots of vegetables myself and love them but I have this thing about cauliflour and brocolli - I really do not like them - there are somethings I will eat if they are on my plate but those two - no way but it's creepy the way a dietician has an idea that what we reall dislike is going to cure us

Regardless Shaz - I wish you the best and I take it that it is Diabetes two and I hope that diet does the trick for you

And you mother is one strong lady and it must be hard for her to have to have a carer but wow - you are fantastic to take this on as well as Mr Shaz and your own health issues. I do wish you the bes with all of this

You are an is an inspiration to me

How is the patient today @Shaz51?

Thank you for you wonderful message my second mum @Owlunar

Yes soo much is going on and I have to see a blood specialist in November as well

Hope you are OK xoxo , it is diabetes 2 and I have already lost 3 kilo since being on the tablets

Was going on a three day cruise with mum but not going now, mum is not well enough to go

You are awesome too me @Owlunar xx

The capped tooth has broken last week so I will have to go to the Dentist,

I am keeping my fingers crossed that Mr shaz does not have a breakdown @Former-Member, @Determined, @Smc, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @outlander, @Adge, @Appleblossom xxxx

He is OK @Former-Member, worrying about everything xx

Hello @Sophia1

Hopefully things will ease a little as Mr Shaz's pain level goes down @Shaz51

Anxiety + pain = 😬😬😬

Wow @Shaz51 You have had so much going on, with Mr Shaz, our mum and you.

Congrats on losing the weight.

Can I copy that please ...

Wishing you all healing.

Hi @Shaz51

Is Mr Shaz likely to have a breakdown - I sorta had the feeling that his going to bed was a safety thing for him - maybe not. There are times when things must be really hard for him

Wow - having your capped tooth break so soon after having the work done is not good at all - I had veneers on my teeth and they lasted for ages - I am not sure if this is the same thing but still - it's not as if you have stacks of time for yourself - you are caring for two other people as well as yourself

Them's the breaks

I hope you do get to take a cruise with your Mum and Mr Shaz doesn't break down - none of you need that

And seeing as I am short on kids I love it that I am a second Mum

I love being a second Mum

@Shaz51, hope you can find some other sort of special time to have with your Mum, since the cruise is no longer an option. Thinking of you.

yippee it's @Owlunar...

hello, how are you?

How are you my special friend @Shaz51?

After many years of coping with an undiagnosed BPD mum...I'm not writing this loosely, twp professionals have met her spent time with her and voiced it to me in professional settings.....I'm getting a grip on it and you know who is helping me? All you of course .... When you write about your teeth @Shaz51....

Im so freaked out by Mum who yelled at me yesterday about how much her teeth is costing her........

I need to keep it simple. I need to be present and look at real problems out in the world....look at @Shaz51 dealing with day to day issues.....instead of sitting down obsessing over the fury of a relative. @Shaz51 and me..... we are the girls who are in the front line ......we matter.
