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

Hi @Shaz51 @Anastasia @Emelia8

You are all awesome people - incredible actually - and we all are

I love all these owls - owls are considered wise - it comes to us through mythology - I know they look pretty clever - perhaps they are. I hope so.

I am off to the dentist soon - the weather has cleared up and become sunny - severe weather is forecast this afternoon - I will wait and see

I hope you awesome people all have a good day

Hi all

I went to the dentist yesterday - I didn't have to have an extraction - the dentist just filed the tooth down and it is safe to leave it there unless it gives me any trouble. I am glad I didn't bother to have a melt-down about it. I had a filling - not a big deal -

It poured buckets when I was on my way home - I was glad I had a taxi because he drove me right to my front door

Now it's onto getting another hair-dressers appointment. I have their email address now so that will be easier

I hope everyone has a reasonable day

Thanks @Zoe7 and @Shaz51

I've had a few curved balls lately - they happen - I would rather not deal with some issues in life but alas - we must. My next outing will be to Centrelink if I can ever find a way of getting an appointment (sigh)

My trip to the dentist was okay - just a filling - oh but - while I was gazing at the ceiling with all sorts of instruments in my mouth I could hear the radio and they were playing Everybody Hurts - I know this song was about psychological pain - not physical but it felt appropriate and rather droll and distracted me

I wrote so much more but something glitched and I lost it - I am not good at sharing the tougher parts of my life but I certainly care about other people - and yours battles.

My garden was here yesterday and tidied my storm strewn garden - I was lucky that only a few plants were damaged and the courtyard was full of leaves stripped from a tree next door - that is a very sad looking plant atm - I am sorry about that. That wind was really strong and did a lot of damage in the hills. Not good

So it is a lovely day in Melbourne - I wish everyone had such a fine, sunny morning

All my best everyone

Hi @Faith-and-Hope thanks for the tag.

Still in pjs here but about to make a move and do some housework.

Fine and sunny here but lockdown starts at 4pm for 3 days 😬

Hope your day goes well with plenty of sunshine.

@Owlunar That song playing at the dentist made me giggle Those funny moments in life we need to acknowledge 👍 Glad it was only a filling but never nice having to go to the dentist.

The rain has cleared here this afternoon and it is a nicer day so I might even get out in the garden for a while this afternoon ...see how tired I am later. Hope you are enjoying the nice day in Melbourne
