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

Re: Life can be a Pain

I am fine today thanks @Shaz51

The gardener has turned up to mow the lawn - which takes forever - and after than he has his whipper-snipper

And I don't have a headache today - yet - he usually waits until I have a headache to mow - you know - and likely I will get one now I have written this - groan

It's okay now - he's way down the front - but when he gets to the little bit outside this window I will have to get a new career or a new place to be temporarily - I might go to the shops

How are you and how is Mr Shaz - I hope he is not anxious about something today - I hope he (and you) have a peaceful day

fingers crossed for you to have no headache @Owlunar xx

Mr Shaz - I hope he is not anxious about something today - yes we went to mow some lawns but the lawns don`t need mowing and the customers said to come back next week , soo mr shaz is worried

apart from that we are now having the afternoon off , which is good ,

Hi Shaz - was that 8 hours ago - wow

I went to see my doctor and next Friday I will be having my toe-nail operated on - the infection has mostly settled but it is sore as hell to the touch - and hard to walk far with my shoes on - which I did today - I didn't feel like walking so far with my crocs on

Actually I will be glad to have that done

Poor Mr Shaz - always anxious what ever happens - tough on you too - one step at a time still

@Former-Member croc shoes xx

hugs @Owlunar , been there my friend with the toes

Re: Life can be a Pain

Hi @Former-Member@Shaz51@Zoe7@outlander

Lapses - crocs are light-weight, long-lasting plastic shoes that are very comfortable and I wear them when I am home - they haven't been causing pressure on my sore toe which has been great

Here's a pic - they come in all sorts and colours and mine a light grey - here's a pic

Actually I will be very glad to have my toenail operated on - it's settling down but there is some kind of damage in the nail

Dec - I have to reboot my computer - it's playing up - back in a short while
