Life can be a Pain

Life can be a Pain

Hi @BlueBay@Zoe7@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@utopia@oceangirl@TAB@Shaz51@PeppiPatty

I know there are more people I could tag but maybe I will think them up as I go along - actually I already have

I think I need my own thread - mostly my problem is chronic pain syndrome - I damaged my spine with the sporting excesses of my youth - a long time ago now - and I managed to rearrange it when I fell of my pushbike in a wind storm nearly 22 years ago and that seems a long time ago now but there is nothing they can do except treat the pain - and I do have Section 8 medication and I see a pain specialist

And the pain has been worse lately and wears me down and I get fed up and very tired -

I have issues with my mother as well - and although she died 2 years ago I still have bad times now and again - she was abusive and as well as I know myself and her this can get to me at times - and this is another reason I opened my own thread

Then there is TS - my Toxic Sister - she was under my skin for a while but not at the moment

So yesterday I felt so bad when I went to see the doctor about my back pain - and my pain specialist has cut my medication back several times over the last few years and she has gone too far - and I started to tell my doctor - yes - I cope with the pain better since my mother died - but it's driving me crackers atm and so are the memories of my mother

So that's it for now - I have had trouble opening this thread for some reason but now I have - I will run my own story - I would like to think I don't need to but yes - I do

You are all such wonderful supportive people - you are my soft place to land - that is so true

And anyone I have missed I will tag as I go along

Lots of hugs everyone

Dec

Hi @Anastasia @TAB @Appleblossom @Emelia8 @Zoe7 @MDT @Faith-and-Hope @Bunniekins

etc

I just had a text from my daughter - she had an appointment with her specialist today and it seems to be serious - as I thought - and she has been readmitted to hospital

It is so upsetting that I can't see her right now - the lock-down feels really bad - and unreasonable - that we can't see our families more that 5 km yet -

Of course I am worried - really worried now

And yes - I did write my little to Miss Yakkety Yak - it took me days to keep writing it in rough and thinking about re-writing and now I need to post it -

Re: Life can be a Pain

Oh @Owlunar 😔 that is not good news at all. They dont admit people to hospital for no reason after all ... especially now. Of course you are feeling worried about her and also upset not being able to see her. Its a really distressing time for you ... as well as for her ... and I am so sorry you are going through this once again. And your poor daughter too ... she must be in a lot of pain, for which I can totally relate having had a similar back injury myself.

I am hoping VIC restrictions will relax a little bit in a couple of weeks, which would be great. In the meantime, take full advantage of the phone and any facetime or whatever else you and your daughter have access to.

I'm really sorry you continue to suffer through all this worry Dec. I honestly do feel for you, and wish I could make things better for you. I wish I was in a better state of mind personally to be of more support to you lately. I'm sorry Dec.

A quick hello also to @Anastasia @Appleblossom @TAB @Shaz51 @BlueBay

Emelia 🌸
