Life can be a Pain

glad to hear you are seeing your doctor tomorrow @Owlunar

Thanks @Zoe7

I think I have an idea about your back pain - lack of sleep and cold weather can upset our physical well being and drag us along from day to day - I think you had a really wet day last week - what a rough and tough year we have had so far

Melbourne is having a COVID-19 spike - this is not fun for anyone - my daughter has booked a table for us to have lunch for my birthday next week and I just hope we don't get locked down again on that day - we miss each other and we make birthdays special. It's tough to know this is a pandemic and millions of people are suffering more

I love the solar-eclipse owl you made - and your sister had an owl on her fence! Wow! Owls are a good sign for me - things shall be better 🤗🦉

We had a few really wet days last week but one of those days we saw our June average in one day @Owlunar The rain was good but the kids had cabin fever so were all a bit silly

My back is not very good at the moment but has been like that for weeks - I am surviving but looking forward to the holidays to rest and ease the pain a bit. Not sleeping is certainly not helping and combined with not feeling well the last several days it is all taking it's toll

I really hope you can still go to lunch next week, see your daughter and celebrate your birthday. I also hope you spoil yourself and make it as special a day as you can

We have an owl soft toy that is our class owl - the kids love him but we have had to put him away because of covid - next term we can bring him back out again though as a lot of our restrictions have either eased or gone altogether ...the bonus of living on an island and being so tough on restrictions to begin with 👍

Hi @Zoe7 @Shaz51 @outlander @BlueBay

I saw my GP l late today - I have to see my pain specialist next week but it looks as if I will have to have the reverse shoulder replacement - I am not excited about - actually - I am not often afraid but I am about this - I am scared about it

It would have been my mother"s 100th birthday today - it's not my day

I am so tired

Oh @Owlunar not your day at all. Hugs and hugs and hugs to you

Thanks @Zoe7

At least the day is nearly over ,

I managed to work out how to open an app with my server while I waited to see my doctor - I think I can report the fault in my land-line

At least I am not alone wading hip deep in green jelly

I am thinking of you too and your back - I'm really glad your holidays start really soon if not already

Hi @Zoe7 @Shaz51 @outlander

It's Tuesday and I slept well but I still feel dispaced after learning I will most likely need a reversed shoulder replacement operation

I feel I need time to adjust to this procedure - oh yeah - the whole idea freaks me out

I'm watching recorded TV atm - just taking it easy but I did get through to Telstra this morning to fix the problem with my landline so I have achieved something today - I just cant make the Telstra app work

Tomorrow I organise a haircut

Thanks friends

This is so much better - I have my landline and my computer working - and this is my contact with the world working properly again and this is a relief

I always find using my mobile phone for text messages and it is so easy to lose a message into the forum with the phone - I am so glad to be able to type my messages

My shoulder isn't quite as touchy today which is a good thing - I do not like the thought of another operation and it would be the third on my shoulder - the same shoulder - it is touchy though

But at least I finally got through to Telstra and the man came very quickly and fixed the fault -

@Zoe7 @Shaz51 @outlander @BlueBay

sooo glad your landline and computer is working now @Owlunar

hugs xx

It is great that you have your landline back @Owlunar and your shoulder is not as bad today. It is certainly a scary prospect having to have another operation on your shoulder but if it fixes the pain then it is probably a really good thing. Hope you have ahd a better day today - much love coming your way
